<b>Hi sister</b> He says to her, eyeing the juicy, sizzling steak on the grill.

Sophora eyes Sparrowhawk with that inquisitive look most women have when they know men are up to no good.


"How would you like it, " she asks.

Humm, What would you answer...LMAO

[Sophora]

Howdy Sparrow, It's grill your own . The two on the grill are for Chesty and me. Chesty keep an eye on him while I grab us some beers. Sparrow, there's plenty of steaks in the fridge, and while you're at it can ya bring out the cole slaw?

Sgt T: B-O-B and I have an understanding. I do not need to talk and he can only "humm" love songs!!:banana:

When my husband does finally show up, tell him I said Hi and I love him!!

;)

[Sophora]

Ahhh Ice Cold Beer, Thanks Cas, good tunes. Hey Roger is this like cyber tag? Don't get in as much..been actually working lol. Sparrow, I'd tell ya why beer is better then a man, but I've forgotten what having a man is like :D

[CAS3]

I really don't like drinking alone. We keep popping in and out and missing each other.
I am gonna get in the lounge chair out by the hot tub. Anybody want to join me better bring more beer!:D
Sophora, did you take care of Chesty today?
The husband and I have been apart for a month so I am almost "forgetting" what it is like too.
If I can overcome my fear of flying, I will be with him soon and he can remind me...over and over and over again!!:banana:

Rog and Ellie, where the heck have you guys been?
Is everyone actually working lately?

Cook, you don't show up soon, I am requesting that you get a page 11 for UA!

Sgt T must be practicing for DI school...you know, how to be a dick in less than one month!!!

:lick:

[Sophora]

Good Morning Chesty, I'll get you a beer as soon as I get the coffee going. :bunny: It's a bit chilly this morning, might need to get someone in to check out the heater soon.

Sophora takes a cup of coffee and Chesty's morning beer and heads out poolside. She pours the beer into his bowl and takes a seat at the table. The stars shine bright in the morning sky, just a sliver of moon flavors the view. Dawn is still a time away. She enjoys the quiet, even the birds are still asleep. :sleeping:

[Gary]

Hi folkshttp://www.boundupdesigns.com//ikBB/wave.gif Hi Sophora, catches the little bulldog in his arms as he jumps up on him, hey buddy good to see you, gives Chesty a scratch behind the ears, let me have a bottle of beer and a shot.

Send out Sgt T to look for Cas and then I don't see him for awhile....

Then I send Cas out to look for Sgt T.....and she gets lost......

I'm not sending out no more search parties....I might be able to keep them in one spot then....LOL

Hands Gary another cold one......takes one for himself..........

Sempers,

Roger

[Sophora]

Thanks for the cold one Roger. Hey ya Gary great seeing you.

Got off work early today. Had an appt with the head doctor and decided not to go back to the office. She wants me back next week so I reckon I'm crazier than usual :alien:

I got some pizza ordered, I hope 10 are enough for the crowd.....

[Sparrowhawk]

But between you and me, and Chesty what is everyone else gona eat? LOL

Im hungry, now.......

A female shrink, I had one of those, problem was she wanted to have me, or a combat Marine never did figure out what she really wanted.

LOL

Well a cold one sounds good right about now.. Take off your shoes, and anything else you feel like and sit down, I'll pop a beer bottle with you..

Let's drink a toast to all shrinks, heck with it, Let's just get drunk

[Sophora]

Always have a few after seeing the head doc :p She's an alright doc, though she's a new/old one...my therepist left so am seeing Doc S again..use to be her patient back in the early 90's...she gives me poop but remembers stuff from way back then, dang thought I could impress her with how well I am HA! Anyway I need a few cold ones and maybe a shot or two

[CAS3]

That would be me, right reaper?

Lets party but make sure everyone has a designated driver!
Don't need reaper working OT this weekend.


Where is everyone? I know it got hot here and I don't think anyone was planning a cruise?
Then again with the latest Montgomery County shootings, doesn't look like anyone is going out any time soon.

I am going to put on the tunes and ice up the brews.........

[CAS3]

Well, We have had another murder in Spotsylvania. That makes 6 random murders in less than 48 hours....

I need a drink. What a rotten week. Anyone here to join me or am I going to become a recluse drunk. Drinking alone is not a god sign of a well balanced person.:(

[thedrifter]

Cas don't want you drinking alone....No it's never fun that way....

Sad to hear about all this senseless crime going on...
We heard they are checking into the shooting in Fredrickburg VA to see if that one is connect....

[Sophora]

good morning Chesty, ready for your beer? :bunny: Just let me get the coffee going and I'll pour ya a cold one. Bit chilly here this morning but the air is clear and the birds are awake.

Sophora grabs a cup of coffee and heads outside.

[Sophora]

[Sparrowhawk]

See Janine out by the poolside, Chesty sitting close by.

Grabs three beers, one for himself, one for janine and one for Chesty.


Hi Sis, then Sparrowhawk says in his best Joey from friends imitation.

Hey, HOW'S IT GOING?"

http://www2.warnerbros.com/friendstv/img/friends_index.jpg

[thedrifter]

Drifter walks into the bar, sees it is empty, looks outside and sees Janine, Cook and Chesty enjoying the cool evening air.
Walks to the cooler grabs a couple of six packs, goes ouside by pool and say: HOWDY ALL!!!!!!!!

Hands Janine, Cook a couple of cold ones. Fills Chesty's bowl with a fresh one. Sits down to enjoy the quiet evening with some dear friends.

Sempers,

Roger

[Sophora]

Hey Sparrow and Roger, ya'll ready for another beer? Yes Chesty I know you are :bunny: I got some mini chimis warming in the oven, ya'll hungry?

[Sophora]

Sophora strolls in and gets the coffee going. She wipes down the bar and tables and takes out the trash. Chesty follows her around, eager for his morning beer. Grabbing a cup of coffee and a cold beer for Chesty she heads outside. She pours Chesty his beer and sits and looks at the sky. The stars twinkle in the heavens. The cool air caresses the land. She sips her coffee, and feels the warmth. She sighs, at peace with the moment.

Chesty walks over and sits beside her :bunny: She scratches him behind the ear and his stubby tail wiggles with pleasure.

Ah Chesty all we need is some krispy cremes and the moment would be bliss. It's a good morning.

[Sophora]

Sophora comes outta the kitchen carrying a steaming platter of scrambled eggs and sets it on the table. She checks out the spread...eggs, bisquits and gravy, bacon sausage links, hashbrowns, grits, toaster with 3 flavors of bread, butter jelly ketsup, tabasco, salt, pepper, fresh coffee, oj and hot tea.

Boy Chesty I hope you're hungry..we may be eating all this ourselves :eek:

[Sparrowhawk]

Lady sure hope you have some flower tortillas to go with that meal.

NICE HOT TORTILLAS with butter spread on them... Hummmm good


Cook

[Sophora]

Sophora walks in and fixes a rum and coke. Taking it outside she sticks a Clapton CD in the stereo. She drags a lounger into the shade of a tree and sits down, tipping her hat over her eyes. Sipping her drink she absent-mindedly scratches Chesty's ear. :bunny:

[thedrifter]

Roger walks behind the Bar and fixes a Rum and Coke, grabs a couple of cold ones. Goes outside and surprises Sophora with a fresh drink......................Pours a cold one into Chesty's bowl. Sits down and relaxes after a long trying day.

Yes! I do believe Chesty dunks his donuts in his beer. Had to clean out his bowl, it was full of donut crumbs...........HE HE HE HE

Sempers,

Roger

[Sophora]

[thedrifter]

Roger grabs a couple of cold ones from the frig, makes a rum and coke, walks outside, hands Sophora a rum and coke, fills Chesty bowl again. Chesty sure likes his beer...............

Sits down, looking up at the sky, too cloudy to see the moon and stars, but it is a nice cool evening, 61 degrees. Looks like fall might be here before we know it, always liked the turning of the leaves on the trees. Some real pretty colors.

Sempers,

Roger

[Sophora]

Sophora comes in and sets the coffee to brew. She washes the glasses from the night before and wipes down the bar. She fixes a cup of coffee and grabs a cold beer for Chesty and heads outside. Chesty runs over as she pours his morning beer. :bunny: She sits and gazes at the star freckled sky. Dawn is just making a hint of it's arrival.

[thedrifter]

Intense heat brings out the true nature of bell peppers -- sweet, meaty and sensual.







http://www.calendarlive.com/media/photo/2002-10/5003393.jpg

Humm, now I'm getting HUNGRY!


Kissed by fire
Roasting peppers brings out their true nature: earthy and sensual.
By Russ Parsons, Times Staff Writer


Roasting peppers brings out their true nature: earthy and sensual.Back in the old days, we're talking 10 or 15 years ago, this time of year was something special. As soon as the weather started to turn, we'd go down to the specialty produce guy and put in an order for a case of red bell peppers. You got them only once a year and they cost the earth, but they were worth it.

That weekend we'd have a big party. We'd char the peppers on the grill, then, sitting out back at the picnic table, peel them, seed them and stick the soft, warm flesh into plastic bags to go into the freezer.

Well, actually they only went into the baggies after everyone had eaten their fill. There's little that tastes better than roasted red bell peppers and even though they are available year-round now, this is the best time of year to enjoy them.

Roasted peppers are one of food's sure things. They're beautiful to look at, a deep Titian red. They have a voluptuous texture, closer to a nice, fatty piece of tuna sashimi than a vegetable. And their flavor is a profound mix of sweet and earthy, pungent and perfectly balanced by itself.

The simplest dish in the world, and one of the most satisfying, is a plate of roasted, peeled peppers dressed only with a little good olive oil and a sprinkling of salt. The pepper repertoire doesn't stop there, of course, but anything else you do is a matter of adornment rather than improvement.

One of the most common pairings for peppers is with tomatoes, one of nature's other perfect foods. All over the Mediterranean basin, these two show up in dishes both simple (roasted pepper and tomato salad) and complex (peperonata, found under different names from Spain to Morocco).

Roasted peppers are utterly unlike raw ones. In the first place, roasting removes that thin skin of cellulose. That's the tough part that's so difficult to digest. And it gently cooks the meat, softening it and bringing out hidden dimensions of flavor.

<b>The sources of heat</b>

There are any number of ways to roast a pepper. Perhaps the most primal is simply throwing them on the grill. This has the advantage of accommodating a large number of peppers at the same time. A regular 21-inch kettle grill will easily hold more than a dozen large peppers at once. Just keep turning them to hit every bit of skin (including the bottoms and the tops), and move them from place to place so every pepper gets its turn over the hottest parts of the fire.

Go ahead and char them. You're not looking for browning here, but a definite blackening of the surface. So tough is this skin that even after this rough treatment, when you peel it off, there will be red flesh underneath. Roasting peppers over fire also lends a distinct but subtle smokiness to the flavor.

You can roast large batches even more easily in the oven, if you're willing to forgo that smoky grace note (indeed, in recipes such as the peppers stuffed with tuna, a purer flavor is better). To do this, arrange the peppers on a jellyroll pan and bake them at 400 degrees, turning them once or twice to keep them from sticking. Cooked this way, the skin will puff up like a balloon without nearly as much blackening.

Roasting peppers on the grill will take from 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the heat (it's a good thing to do while you're waiting for a really hot fire to die down enough to cook meat). Roasting them in the oven takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Whichever method you choose, once the skin has begun to loosen, cover the peppers with a damp cloth and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes. The steam will finish the job.

Some cooks recommend roasting them under the broiler or over an open flame on a stove-top burner. Although these methods will work, they have significant drawbacks. The broiler cooks the peppers too unevenly. Doing them stove-top has the obvious disadvantage of letting you do only one or two at a time. And heaven help you if a roasting pepper pops, as they are wont to do, spilling its juices so it bakes onto the stove.

Peel the peppers by rubbing away that charred skin with your fingers. For tough spots that might have been a little underdone or were in hard-to-reach crevices, use the back of a knife. Though you may be tempted to rinse them to get rid of the last little flecks of skin, don't. The flesh is coated with a thick, delicious juice and you don't want to lose any of it.

<b>How to pick a pepper</b>

You'll find red bell peppers ranging in size and shape from small and boxy to long and tapered. Some of the biggest ones are proprietary varieties grown in California, Florida and Mexico. Don't let that dissuade you. In taste tests, we were amazed at the quality and depth of flavor of the peppers we found at our decidedly un-gourmet neighborhood supermarket.

And, of course, you'll find peppers in colors other than red. Almost any grocery store will have yellow ones, too, and many will have purple, orange and even chocolate brown.

These peppers taste essentially the same -- the colors come from a nearly flavorless family of pigments called carotenoids. These are the same chemicals that make tomatoes red and peaches yellow (peppers, like tomatoes, are botanically fruits, even though we eat them as vegetables).

And just like peaches and tomatoes, the emergence of the bright colors is tied to the ripening process. While all peppers start out looking green, their more flamboyant plumage is actually there all the time, masked by the dominant pigment chlorophyll.

As the peppers ripen and the sugar levels increase, the chlorophyll breaks down. The green cloak drops and the mature colors are revealed.

Because roasting peppers is one of those things where it's just as easy to do a dozen as it is to do one, you might want to store some to use another day.

They do freeze remarkably well because of their high moisture content (one more reason to save all those juices you'll find on the inside). You don't even need to peel them -- stick them straight into the bag once they've cooled enough that they won't melt it. Later, when you're ready to use them, you can defrost and peel as many as you need. Pickled peppers you find in jars in the grocery story have a much different flavor because of the vinegar. they're preserved in.

Of course, since they're available so constantly in these modern times, freezing them doesn't carry the same sense of urgency as it once did. But as any pioneer will tell you, having roasted red peppers in the freezer is the culinary equivalent of money in the bank.

I am a Lover of Roasted Peppers. I roast them all Summer onmy BBq grill. After they are done I put them in a plastic bag That I get from the Super Mkt. for 30 minutes and then l peelThem.

[Sophora]

Sophora walks in and pours a tumbler full of Scotch. Grabbing a beer and the kibble bag she goes outside and feeds Chesty. :bunny:

Sitting down she stares off in the distance. Chesty comes over and puts his head on her lap, sensing her mood. She downs the Scotch, Takes a big breath and heads out to try to make the day livable.

[Red Dragon]

Red Dragon walks into the bar, grabs a Orion and recalls the good old times he had in Okie. Orion still tastes the same, like tiger pi$$.

Walks outside and looks up at the stars and moon, saying to himself, it's great to be alive and a Veteran Marine.

The Red Dragon

[Sophora]

Sophora grabs a cold one and heads outside. She sees Red dragon sitting gazing at the night sky. She sits off at a distance, not wanting to disturb his moment. She's glad to see him. She pours Chesty a beer.:bunny:

[Sophora]

Sophora comes in and sets the coffee brewing. She wipes down the bar and tables then takes out the trash. Returning she grabs a cup of coffee and a beer for Chesty and heads outside. Chesty yaps and dances around as Sophora pours his beer. :bunny:

She gives his head a pat and goes to sit and watches for the sunrise. I's a quiet morning.

[Sparrowhawk]

Sparrowhawk walks in smells the freshly brewed coffee and sees Sophora sitting out by the pool.

He sits next to her, see her all cuddled up in her warm balnket. So he reaches over and grabs the blanket away so that he is warm.

Janine refuses to let go, and they struggle back and forth like that, the kicking, the biting, scratching and all, but then the sun begans to come up.

It's a beautiful morning and both stop to viewing the early morning sunrise. So, they decide to share the blanket.

About that same time, Chesty, decides to join them, but just as he does, he farts.

Phew, Chesty! And he ends up with the blanket , sits under it, while wagging his tail.

LOl

[Sophora]

Sophora thinks Sparrow farted and blamed poor Chesty. :bunny: She heads inside to freshen her coffee and brings Chesty out another beer. Sophora sits and listens to the birds, the warming sun soft against her skin. She keeps one eye on Sparrow, watching for his next trick. He see's her watching and turns and gives her a toothy grin. Mischief sparkles in his eyes.

[Red Dragon]

Red Dragon walks into the Bar grabs a cup of Coffee and a couple of donuts. Walks out side and says Hello to Sophora and Sparrowhawk. Nice day here so far. Hope Sparrowhawk doesn't pass any more gas, I just might have to light his a$$ up if he does.

Come here Chesty, I have a nice treat for you, a nice big bone.

The Red Dragon

[Sophora]

Sophora walks in and gets the coffee going. She fills Chesty's bowl with kibble and takes it out to him along with his beer. :bunny: She goes back in and pours herself a steaming cup of brew and returns outside. The light of the full moon washes over the view. Sitting back sipping her coffee, she enjoys the solitude and silence of the moment. the sunrise is still a time off and the birds still slumber.

[thedrifter]

[Sophora]

Sophora sets a punch bowl full of jumbo shrimp on the bar. She fetches Chesty a beer and a diet pepsi for herself. Tossing a couple mesquite logs on the fire she sits back and unwinds, gazing into the flames, lost in thought.

[Cellar Rat]

But....the Rat comes into the room and looks out the sliding glass door and notices that the party's already started....picks up someone else brew, knocks over the coffee and leaves the door open as he heads out to the wet t-shirt contest being held at the pool. The Rat doesn't wanna get left out............


Ya Gotta Love this imagination...............
Rat

[Sophora]

well heck, if we're having a wet t-shirt contest I think we should also have a wet boxer short contes with the men :D

[Sophora]

Sophora strolls in and gets the coffee brewing. She sets bagels and donuts up on the bar. Grabbing a beer and the bag of kibble - dog she heads outside to feed Chesty. He barks and runs around her, almost tripping her, in his excitement. :bunny:
She returns inside to grab a cup of fresh brew, then heads out to join Chesty. Scattered clouds bloat out the stars, the air fresh from last evening's rain. She sits facing east, waiting for the day to begin. Chesty lays beside her, and she absent mindedly scratches his ear.

[SGT T]

Goodmorning all. How is everything going? SO cas made a trip to Oki..man that is gonna be a long flight. So how is everyone doing? What is this I hear about a Wet T- shirt contest:marine:

[Gary]

[thedrifter]

Walks toward the pool with fishing pool in hand and two bottles of JD............

Howdy Gary..........

The pool has been stock for a little bit now......but sometimes this damn weather isn't helping.....Some days it is warms and some days it's cold.......
At least I can say that when the ice is melting, it keeps Chesty busy......The fish have no way of jumping ship with him around.........LOL....

Hands Gary the bottle of JD...........

Sempers,

[Sophora]

Heck Gary, I thought the whole point of fishing was to have a chance to sit around drinking.....?!?

Don't think the pool is stocked but I think Roger stocked the JD :) I'll just grab an Irish Coffee, and sit here watching ya fish in the cement pond :D

[Gary]

[firstsgtmike]

No disrespect for my hero's namesake, but everyone who walks into this room pours a drink for Chesty.

I could understand if they were drinking a toast to Chesty, and yes, "Here's to you Sir". I bow my head when I hear the name.

But if things keep on as they have been, that mutt is going to be the poster mascot for Alcoholics Anonymous.

Yesterday, my front tooth fell out and I was locked up in the house until the dentist appointment this afternoon. You guys would have killed to see what I looked like. Anybody here from Tennessee? We might be related!:banana:

[Shaffer]

Just out of curiousity, did you look like this:

[CAS3]

Great to see ya bro! Glad to hear you got another job. Better watch out though when you think the boss is not looking, as I installed security cameras at the slope chute while you were gone. Seems as those drunks like Cas are drinking all the profits. And even the drinks they do serve are over-poured. Hell I guess I am gonna have to pour test all the bartenders...LOL

I was going to post this someplace, but I might as well do it now while I'm here.

I feel stupid. One of my many favorite actors, James Coburn, died recently. His biography mentioned that he starred in the Americanization of Emily in 1964. I saw the movie, but I don't remember anything about it.

The biography listed it as "one of the most intelligent as well as funniest anti-war film of all times."

Anti-war? I missed that.

When I was younger, there was a series of articles against comic books, nd what they were doing to the morals of the children readers.

Incest & perversion:

Batman and Robin, The Green Arrow and Speedy, Captain America and Bucky, Donald Duck and his nephews, The Green Hornet and Kato.

Lesbianism:

Wonder Woman and Sheena, the jungle girl.

I loved all of those comic books. I didn't understand THEN what they were taking about, and I still don't understand it NOW.

Am I THAT dense? Am I missing something?

If I am, then I'm thankful for it. I enjoy a good laugh, a fantasy or a fable. If you want to make a statement to me, do it straight up. Don't expect me to guess what you are talking about.

I'm too stupid for that.

[tkuhr]

No,
Top, you didn't miss anything. The so-called critics missed it. "The Americanization of Emily" was a damned good movie trying to show the cupidity of the men who try to make their lives worthwhile by spending other's in "a worthwhile cause". (Ask the guy in the next fighting-hole if he wants to be in the next war.) Unfortunately, they're too many who think they can make a buck or a "rep" in war-time (like one is enough, in a perfect world). If it hadn't been a tragi-comedy, Garner or Andrews would have had to kill Coburn in the last scene. Personal Opinion: Paddy Chafevsky made a better movie about war than "Apocalypse, now" or "Full Metal Jacket" ( except for the boot camp scenes).

[Gary]

you were a kid and read comic books? when was that, in the last ice age? :D ;) :banana: hehehehehehehe

[Gary]

now that I've had my little bit of fun with the first shirt, I guess I'll go ahead and have my lunch, Roger beer and shots for everyone, hmmmmm make mine a double:D :D

Semper Fi,

[Sparrowhawk]

Those heroes ran around in pantyhose and leotards, and you still don’t get it? LMAO

[Gary]

Jerry, one Yueng Ling and a shot coming right up, gets up off his bar stool and staggers behind the bar, trips over Chesty on the way :D Dang Chesty! you got to find a better place to lye down if your gonna pass out on me :banana: passes Jerry his drinks and hands Sparrowhawk a beer pours himself another beer and a shot of JD ;)

Sophora rushes in from the cold. She sets a pot of coffee to perk, then begins wiping down the bar and tables. She cleans the ashes outta the fireplace and sets up a new fire. Grabbing a fresh cup of brew she sits before the fire watching the flames dance. Chesty runs over to say good morning. :bunny: Sophora scratches him behind the ears as he lays beside her enjoying the warmth. It's gonna be a nice day. :)

Roger sees Chesty is out of beer and refills his bowl.......
Set of round for the house and says: Sophora buying........

Sempers,

Roger

[Sophora]

Sophora rushes in and gets the coffee going. She stirs the coals in the fireplace and tosses in some kindling. Once that's aflamed she adds some loges and gets the fire roaring. Chesty runs over and jumps around, eager for his kibble and morning beer. :bunny: Sophora sets up Chesty and pours herself a cuppa coffee, adding a double shot of Baileys. Sitting by the fire she sips her coffee, enjoying the warmth. Chesty curls up at her feet and lets out a loud belch.

Dang Chesty! you're lucky you didn't turn into a flame thrower doing that so need the fire!

She leans back in her chair, gazing into the flames, a soft smile as she thinks of red ribbons and christmas lights.......

[Gary]

out of the cold, Hi ya Sophora, hey Chesty, say I got a 20 ft blue spruce outside that should just fit in this place, heck I don't remember where we put the Christmas decorations last year, so I bought a whole bunch of new stuff, now if we could get a working party going we could get that tree in here and all the decorations, how about it fellas?? walks over behind the bar pours himself a beer and a shot of JD and sits down by the fire place with Sophora. :cool:

[Sophora]

Hey Gary sit and warm up a spell. I'll help ya bring in the tree after you thaw out a bit. I'm gonna grab me another brew, can I get you one? I've got a box of decorations I found in the walk in cooler...wonder how they got in there. We'll get started and hope others show up. I also found a little outfit for Chesty. He'll make a cute Santa Paws :D

[Gary]

[Sophora]

LMAO Gary ya don't need to chainsaw the door..I got rope, we'll just wrap the branches up so we can get it in, spruce is soft so they won't break. (hehe I finally got to use my arborist training in here.)

Chesty I thought you said you could keep a secret, what'd Roger do bribe you with a couple extra beer this morning to show him where the good stuff was? :banana: oh well nothing to do about it now, morning Roger!! seeing as you've already got the good stuff out front now you might as well pour us a couple shots and a beer, I'll get a fire going in the fire place to warm this place up, then we got to try and untangle the tree lights.
