Well, I am glad to see that there is still a wedding to plan...I was afraid that Ohio would have eloped by now...
PGHPirate: I hear you and Navymom have been up to your usual escapades...I am sure I will see you both on Hard Copy real soon.
Headparrothead, wow,it sounds like you guys had a pretty wild storm last week...hope everyone is recovering!
Where is Elizabeth?!?! Out catching babies i presume.
I saw a post on here from Reality...nice to see he wasn't struck by lightning...I think :-}
Juicyfruit:
welcome aboard, it's nice to read new faces around here...
As for me, my girlphriend and I are off for the day to the zoo with the 'keets...we are anxiously counting the days until our next trip to Orlando. Gotta hit M-ville orlando for some parrot party supplies for the concert on 8/31...we will be heading out august 9th.
In the meantime, I am counting the days...boy, it's worse than waiting for Jimmy Buffett's birthday (you observant P-heads know what that is like!)
GABUFFETT fan:
Hurry up and get that modem...you must be in withdrawl...missed you too...
'Till then, I am busy in the Redneck test kitchen working on some of my now famous (or infamous) redneck recipes to tickle your tastebuds...I think after we all recover from the wedding, and Iowafest, I would like to invite you all out here to Voluntown, CT (the 51st state, the Arkansas of New England) for 'possumfest 2001....gals, git yer perrtiest housecoats on, and cowboys iron yer Jim Deere t-shirts, there'll be gypsies in the palace fer sher!
Today's Recipe: Ambrosia salad

Lisa -

Hubby installed modem before I got home from work. He knows my obsessions well!!! Sounds like you salad would go real well with some sauted road kill. Count me in - going shopping for a new housecoat and curlers!!!

LisaD.: ok, I admit it-- you've just nailed a staple from the family reunions of my youth!! LMAO- I always knew we were red-necks (or maybe just products of the 70's like polyester!) ^^'s up!!

LisaD: We saved this salad for the really special occasions, like JB's birthday. It's a little more elegant if you use the rainbow marshmallows and put some lettuce under it. LMAO!!

Oh, my -- I thought Lisa was making this up!!! This is real stuff? (of course, keep in mind I don't eat dairy foods, so the only thing that might potentially make this sound more disgusting would be if one were to throw a little butter in there......)& I'm originally from the upper midwest, cholesterol capitol of the world.

Ohio, with this sort of nutrition in your youth, no wonder you grew into the strapping young woman that you are!!!

LMAO, but also hearing the left ventricle slamming shut......

WD: My kids actually consider this to be a delicacy. They will eat it for days on end. Don't LYAO but I must confess I actually have been known to eat it right from the Tupperware bowl. (Picture the green kind from the 60's). The things we will admit to under the guise of anonymity.

Juicyfruit -- sounds like you're a natural for our Tupperware shower for Ohio. After burping & passing, we'll have Lisa (our entertainment director) bring in the Richard Simmons dancers.

For what it's worth, I would occasionally kill for a chilidog from Der Weinerschnitzel (the only fast food outlet near my college -- my roommate & I would sometimes dig through the bottoms of our purses -- right before allowances arrived -- to get together the $1 that would afford you 6 -- count them -- 6 chilidogs). Since they coagulated fast, we would pull around to the back immediately & consume them while parked with an attractive view of the ladies' room door......talk about embarrassing things to admit to.

Lisa -

I can't read these recipies this early in the morning!!!!!!! Don't laugh, but my Mom shops at Blair!!!!! Bless her heart.

WD -

When I first got married (very young AND very poor) Der Wienerschnitzel chile dogs were haute cuisine! We used to save coke bottles all week, then go cash them in and go "out" for dinner. But we sat in the car in FRONT of the place. (VIP seating, don't you know!) Thanks for reminding me of some great times!

GaBuffett: ok, so she shops there, but she make you go with her? MINE DID!!
LisaD.: I'm with GA on this one, you're KILLIN' me this early in the day (good news is there's nobody here yet to hear that yelp I just let out!) The dreaded parfait glasses- oh my! LOL
For special occasions, my mom would throw some walnuts into the ambrosia (just in case one or two tiny arteries still had flow...)

^^'s up, ladies, you're killin' me!!

Posted By GaBuffettFan
Ohio -

Yes!!!!!! And she has, on occasion, bought ME stuff from there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (OK , so it gets lost in my closet, or, or the dryer ate it, or, or the lady next door REALLY liked it so I gave it to HER......arrrggghhhh

Lisa/Ohio -

But did your Mom ever fix you fried Spam sandwiches with Velveeta cheese on it for lunch???? Or fried hot dog sandwiches, or (honest to God) PIGS FEET for dinner????? I have to say I ate everything but the feet there. Even a kid has to draw the line somewhere!!!! Bon Apetite!!!

Okay my beautiful redneck ladies-in-waiting....Here is today's yummy redneck recipe, and it is suitable for all types of entertaining...it never really had a name, but it kinda ressembles a Yodel snack cake when prepared, however, because it is made with meat, I call it:

THE CARNIVOROUS YODEL

1 8 ounce pkg of cream cheese softened
3 TBS of Horseradish
1 jar of Dried Beef (hormel)

Combine first 2 ingredients. Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture on each piece of dried beef. Roll tightly. Chill for 2 hours. Serve....
MMMM MMMM paw paw, thems' good eats!

Please understand that these are actual recipes popular in my area. I live in a town where Sam Chicken Road intersects Banjo Sullivan Road, and I am down the road a piece from Hell Hollow Road...People actually eat like this in my town...
needless to day, I hope that you will all come and see me next year at Redneckfest 2001.....plans are already underway...PEACE to you all.

Well Duh,
Your chili dog story is scary indeed...have to admit, I don't think I will be able to get the picture out of my head for a while LMFAO!!!!!!!
Juicyfruit,
When I got married, my mom almost ceremoniously passed down to me the beloved green Tupperware set, along with the grey Parfait dishes, the covered pudding cups, and my most cherished of all the Tupperware, the Jello mold. I only recently retired the idividual pudding dishes!!!
GABuffett fan,
My mother reports that the Blair factory outlet is having a sale, and they have a huge run on tropical print housecoats and caftans.....
Ohio,
All it takes to be a redneck is the ability to make all your dreams double-wide, like your trailer!!!!!Welcome to the fold honey, we may be cousins (don't worry though, that doesn't mean that we can't still be sisters, and of course our kids can still marry, I asked my papa, and he said sher, 'sides, he's the local preacher, and my uncle....)PEACE TO YOU ALL, I have to sign off now and go adjust the TV antenna on top of the camper before my cousin "Shotgun" comes over to watch WWF Wrastling on the 24 hour wrastling network......Pass the pork rinds

GaBuff: better, boil the bejabbers out of the pig's feet until they make a nice jello-like substance. That is hot Q-sine in my family! (Ancient family recipe brought from the old country!) & oh yeah, she's bought me stuff from there too, 'in my closet somewhere' was always my excuse! Had the fried Spam, but never with Velveeta--yum!
^^'s up!
