[ChrisBen]

Mornin Mr.Left, been out watering my tomatoes. I think I need an ice coffee.

Mornin Bobby, ice coffee sounds good bout now. Been wipin down the railings tryin ta get em dry since 6AM. So much moisture in the air they're wet by the time I get to the other end.

Mornin Lefty, let's hear that story already, I'm on my third cuppa.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Mornin Chris, no dew here. It would probably be steam if we had any dew. I will get you a coffee.

[Mrleft8]

[ChrisBen]

Thanks Bobby. Freakin steambath here today.

[Mrleft8]

Ice coffee? Steam? You guys are nutz! It's 60 freakin' degrees, and pouring rain! I'm freezing my fingers off!

Story..... What story was that CB?..... Oh! The story about what the land lord had to say?.....

[Mrleft8]

I need another cuppa before I start in on that...

Man... I'd love ta see temps in the 70's agin.

[Mrleft8]

I mowed the mud on Monday..... It's growing so fast it needs to be done again already.... Not gonna happen today though.... Matter of fact, it looks like it's going to rain straight through until Saturday night, or Sunday.... Oh joy...
I really need to find a place in the Dry Tortugas or something....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

84° here already, headed to 105f.

[Mrleft8]

Man... I'd love ta see temps in the 70's agin.

Not me. I mean.... 70s is fine sleeping weather, but not day time....

When people mow here it looks like a dust cloud going around their yard.

[Mrleft8]

When people mow here it looks like a dust cloud going around their yard.

Same thing here, but it's because the rain bashes the blades of grass down so they're lying in the mud, then when the sun comes out for a few hours, the blades spring back up, but the dried scum of mud still clings to the grass. When the mower blade hits the grass blade, the dried mud gets knocked off. Because it's such fine, silty mud (Because all the good vegetable matter has been washed away in the incessant rain), it instantly turns to dust. It's weird to be squishing through muddy lawn, watching yourself make ruts in the mud, and at the same time be creating a dust storm.

[Mrleft8]

Morning Sophia. Would you do me a favor, and just keep all this damned damp British weather over there?..... We had enough of it last year to last a lifetime, and this year isn't much better.....

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Hi Sophie, I will probably spend most of the day close to the A/C. It is a tough life, but somebodys got to do it.

[Hwyl]

Any coffee left in that pot, I tried iced coffee and it tastes like cold coffee===yuck

[Mrleft8]

Just made a fresh pot, Gareth.... How are you and the lovely Marilyn this morning?

[Mrleft8]

So.... I know it's bad form to pass on information received in a PM, but.....
It has come to the attention of the landlord, that we're closing rapidly in on 80,000 views here in The PUB....
A record unrivaled in the history of the WBF....

[Hwyl]

I noticed we were catching up on OZ pol, in posts

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Does that mean more free beer?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

I think ya need more zeros.

[ChrisBen]

Does that mean more free beer?

Anything cold would do now. Sweatin like a demon. One rail done, goin fer the port side now.

[Hwyl]

Does that mean more free beer?

Only if there is a "d" in the day.

[Hwyl]

I'm not sure why the Oz pol lot have so many posts and a lot less views.

It's because on Oz pol they tend to post without thinking, whereas in the pub we tend to contemplate.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Uh oh, I guess I been posting in the wrong place. Stay cool Chris.

[Mrleft8]

Yeah..... I did miss that extra zero.... Sorry..... How can I make that up to y'all?..... A couple of free beers do it?...

Today we have a silky smooth jambalaya. Chicken, shrimp, chorizo (I use chorizo instead of andouille so it's not so spicy hot, you can always dose it up, you can't tame it down.) green and red peppers, dirty rice, onion, butter, garlic, celery, and piles of spices and stuff..... The butter is what makes it so silky.
There's also grilled rib eye steak sandwiches on lightly toasted rye, with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato. Served with fries and a giant dill pickle.
Grilled Bratwurst, with baked beans, and fries.
And finally, Hearty mushroom/barley soup, served with fresh out of the brick oven, crusty bread and sweet creamery butter.
Special on tap: Royal Extra Stout.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Jambalaya and some rice and a beer for me, please.

[Glen Longino]

Morning all!
Coffee, please!
I think I'll hide out here at Lefty's today...okay?
Another 100 degree day coming up!

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Morning Glen, I am always glad to see you come in, coffee is ready.

[Figment]

Brats and beans, and a tall something German without too much head....

[ChrisBen]

Freakin experts... guy comes over an says "you can't varnish with a chip brush".



Come on aboard, I just finished the starbd rail. If you can find one brush mark, sag or holiday, I'l eat all 40 feet of that rail.

[Bobby of Tulsa]

G'morning, all.

To pay for my blissful sail yesterday, I got up early and ran the trimmer on the steep slope below the house, which is tortuous, what with the tufts and loose rocks, etc. Just swooshed out my sinuses and blooped some eyedrops in— my eyes feel like they were sprinkled with ground glass. Hope I can avoid the allergy pills, which I hate.

Also dug up some radishes.



Ain't they beauts?

[Bobby of Tulsa]

Very nice radishes. Mine did not do well at all, they just went to tops. I been in the kitchen cookin up up some for real jambalaya.

[Peerie Maa]

What is this recipe thing of which you speak? For this I made today, I used chicken thighs, country style rib meat and andouille sausage. chop that up and brown it in a skillet, bout ten minutes or so, chop up an onion some celery a bell pepper and a tomato. Sautee the onion, celery and pepper till the are tender add the maters put every thing in a pot add about four cups of chicken broth, bullion cube or what ever you have, Also a couple of bay leaves and some cajun seasoning add a cup of rice and boil for about 30 minutes. I thought the cajun stuff was way to hot so I used salt, pepper, oregano,Thyme and some paprika. Worked out good for me. Also I had a Single wide I.P.A by Boulevard brewing co.

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

I'm pretty sure "Hamberger Helper" makes a jambalaya in a box meal.
Yep, they do, you're all set there Dan.











Some cookin music......

[Peerie Maa]

3 celery sticks
4 spring onions (scallions) or equivalent in onions
1/2 pint chicken stock
medium tin tomatoes
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne
