20 Oct 99 - 09:34 AM (#125849) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario In case you can't find it amongst the profusion of doors...after all, by my count we now have the main entrance, the back door to the BBQ/picnic area and little possum's room, the north porch, the south porch, "the door", and the stairway up to the reading room; the men's and ladies "restrooms";not to mention the door out into the kitchen and the one into the back storeroom; the doorway to the cellar stairs is the one marked with the "MacIntyre Memorial Stairway" plaque. It's about time someone came up with a map of this building. It's beginning (beginning? hmmmph!) to get confusing! |

So I suppose I should be grateful that my reputation remains intact. Being thought of as a "gentleman" has its good points, but... M-m-m-m-maybe I should reconsider my thinking about that brew! |

If Mick is half the seafood cook he sounds like, he would definitel give Paul Prudhomme a run for his money! That thread sure filled out in a hurry, which I believe is a testament to one thing- We Mudcatters are damned hungry! Now, pass those conch fritters, and yes, I will have another Carlsberg. |

20 Oct 99 - 07:41 PM (#126141) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: annamill Mick, if you come to the gathering, I'll buy the seafood. You just tell me what we need and I'll get it. We have a seafood coop right near here and one of my neighbors is a clammer/fisherman. What say, Big Boy? You would be able to sing to your heart's content. We have many neighbors who love the Irish music. It's not so far and you can bring whomever you like and stay as long as you like. As can anyone. |

20 Oct 99 - 10:23 PM (#126198) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Big Mick First off, Conch boy, you haven't eaten, till you have eaten The Big Mick's seafood...........and Prudhomme ain't bad for a French kid, I wouldn't mind giving him a few tips......LOL. Annap, I love you, dear woman. And I think your honey is pretty sharp, and I hope he understands what a special catch he has. But for him to come to a gathering of folkies, when he is a rock n' roller, well, he knows what he's got, and appreciates her. Good for him, but I digress. I would love to cook for one of your gatherings, but unfortuately I won't be able to come to this one. We are heading into another of those cycles at work that make the Ole Mick disappear for a bit, and by the time I get back, we will be heading into the ultra busy time for the band. But we will do this thing at some point. I would love to cook for the 'Catters. All the best, Mick |

Wouldn't have to print them, just get them together in a file to download. I am only doing fresh fruits and veggies for the weekend, so, how about something strong with a little juice mixed in with it and a few cherries on top? McGrath, how many sheets to the wind?? You'll be awright, lad, just sit here by me for a few minutes; tuck into some of Mick's good cooking and you'll be right as rain. Another song, someone?

Then we move on to Watercress soup with Smoked Chicken. Great smell, eh folks. Wait till I start the main dish. We will have some Calf's Liver with Onion Confit and Balsamic Vinegar. This is basically Calf's Liver sliced and sautee'd in butter very lightly then mix in the vinegar and saute a bit more. Then serve it with the Confit.........wow, taste bud overload. Then a little desert, say some Vanilla ice cream with warm plums in mulled wine.........Hot damn. I am going to have to get away from this stuff while we all have waistlines left........naaaaahhhh.

I have accepted a position as a consultant for the company that does all the automation for the NY Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. SIAC. It's a good change. I'm very excited. It's almost double my salary which was considerable. I'm not bragging. I'm just thankful. Maybe I'll get a hot tub for the house. That could be exciting in January. Tee Hee! I start Nov. 8th.

Moved my arm, tipped the glass, all of a sudden we were sitting in a messy red jacuzzi. How to ruin a perfect evening! His housekeeper wasn't too happy either. Oh well, if they let me get a hot tub, we can always have white wine ;-) I can't wait for that masterpiece, Mick! I'm starvin', Babe. Alison, go keep an eye on our darling. I'll draw some good stuff.

26 Oct 99 - 08:10 AM (#128114) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Davey Great stuff Alison! LOL.. I thought I'd just sit in the corner and sip my beer, but all that noise and rowdiness and great food smells has piqued my interest. I can contribute some dessert to this fine meal... I have some fruit compote (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, cantaloupe slices, apple slices, all steeping in rum since June)... I was going to save it for Christmas, but it would sure go well with all that seafood. |

26 Oct 99 - 08:55 AM (#128133) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario How 'bout some home-made ice cream to put that compote over on top of? Hmmmmmm????? I just chucked a couple gallons into the freezer to stay cold while we chow down on the entree's. Found some "new" possum songs out on the web. One is called "possum and Taters...." Sounds like a recipe... |

26 Oct 99 - 09:43 AM (#128142) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bert Annap, congratulations on your new job. Loved your red wine story. Reminds me of the time I was on a British Airways flight and the attendant spilled red wine on my lap. She was most concerned 'cos I had white pants on. One of the other passengers said "Club soda will get the stain out" The attendant says "We've got some of that" off she goes, comes back with a can, pops the top and pours it all over the stain (on my lap, remember). It was straight out if the freezer. |

26 Oct 99 - 10:57 AM (#128165) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: WyoWoman Dozens of Mudcateers form a single line and shake their money-makers as they mambo through the labyrinthine doorways and passages of the Tavern... Appetites will be sharp tonight, whetted by exercise and the promise of whatever those wonderful aromas are wafting now from the kitchen.... Maybe I'll break down and have a fruity drink, since we're sort of in an Island mode. Where are the little umbrellas? Please don't tell anyone I know that I'm actually drinking a sweet drink. I pride myself on being the kind of woman Hemingway could love ... WW |

26 Oct 99 - 11:08 AM (#128169) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Hemmingway wasted so much energy on trying to be "a man's man" that I'm not sure he had any energy left to be a decent lover. But I have no problem at all with women who drink like a man - whatever that may mean. But, then, I have no problem with those who prefer umbrellas and swizzle sticks with poofy stuff on the ends either. |

26 Oct 99 - 11:54 AM (#128194) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Roger the skiffler (voice offstage)"At the Neil Young Center we've been trying out the Mudcat recipes so I can't get through the door any more. If I don't get slimmer in time I'll pop along to the campfire for Nov 5th ( bet they won't let us have fireworks and matches). Hallowe'en doesn't look scary any more once you've been to the Center. Pass a bottle or two out here in a brown bag." PS (or BS) Is it really legal to drink outdoors in the US if the bottle is thus "hidden", but not otherwise?? |

26 Oct 99 - 07:13 PM (#128362) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: TheMuse Oh, man, alison! Just checked out the Mambo - even more than ROFL - more like howling! I'm new so missed the hamsters you mentioned. Was it Hamsterdance.com? If so, I loved that too. Got anymore? |

26 Oct 99 - 08:20 PM (#128381) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Someone hand theMuse another drink. I don't know whether too much or not enough is the cause of the problem, but LIKE the hamsterdance!?! *scream* *shudder* MMario |

26 Oct 99 - 09:22 PM (#128405) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: DonMeixner I think its gonna take more that another one, MMario. It'll take at least a bottle of Bali Hai. Maybe some Night Train with a Ripple chaser. I suspect that she is easily a-MUSE-d. Oh, did I just pun? Imagine that. Don |

26 Oct 99 - 09:46 PM (#128414) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: TheMuse Hey! Mr Meixner, did you just call me easy?? Let's take this outside, we don't want any trouble here, or embarassment for these nice folks. Oh, wait, let me just grab this bottle of ready mixed screwdrivers. . . . |

Guess I'll have some black vile stuff and it'l all sort itself out. Smells great Mick, want any cutting and chopping help? Good thing I don't have any where near as much trouble ooordinating my hands as I do my feet) And let's get some good cooking shanties going. Oh Congrats Anap. Any song/drink/food requests? It's your day girl!! |

27 Oct 99 - 09:10 PM (#128822) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Caitrin Annap: According to my mother, Caitrin's the Welsh translation of Kathryn. But it could be Irish, too. I can mambo or samba!:) I seem to get the impression that y'all are food people...do any of you have a good pesto recipe? |

27 Oct 99 - 11:01 PM (#128854) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R combine and mince in a food processor 3 cups basil, 6 cloves garlic 1/2 c pine nuts or walnuts or almonds depending on your budget then add and mix in 1/2 c olive oil 1/2 c parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Now, can I have a beer please, I'm trying to ignore the World Series and it isn't working. God, the Braves versus the Yankees, a Red Sox fan's version of hell, I'm sure.

29 Oct 99 - 12:34 PM (#129479) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Or for varieties sake, take Susan A-R's recipe and substitute...... try mustard greens, watercress, alfalfa sprouts, alone, in combination or with dried herbs try a different grating cheese or use walnut oil, or a touch of toasted sesame oil use just about any kind of nuts....brazil nuts do need to be pre-cut though and some people add onion.(or chives, or shallot, or NO garlic) and a little lemon or lime juice sometimes "makes" it

01 Nov 99 - 10:31 AM (#130409) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Roger the skiffler Haven't been around for a few days, there are so many new 'Catters coming on that we've been flat out at the Neil Young Center, putting trolleys (gurneys) in the corridors ready for the expected rush of new admissions. However, I had to come in to get all the regulars to raise a glass (of the vile black stuff or your drink of choice) to Mick's speedy return to the tavern Slainte, Ya Mas, L'chaim, Mud in yer eye, Prost, etc. RtS |

02 Nov 99 - 09:37 PM (#131107) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MAG (inactive) I had a beer last Friday (a nice, dark Californian oatmeal stout, actually) and the next day my blood sugar was doing its thing. Virtual stout from now on. I'll gladly hoist one for Mick! |

02 Nov 99 - 10:09 PM (#131122) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R Yes, a stout would be nice here too. The wind doth howl and the rain doth pour and it's gettin' to be really November out there. I'm snug at my computer though, so I'm happy. Anyone else for a plate of shrimp nachos with mild cheese and guacamole? Had that one this weekend at a party and it was great!! didn't look too complicated either. I beieve those are the only ingredients. Now about that dress code? Seems to me there's been anything from thongs to well, um, what else. I don't know of anyone who has come in in formal attire, but that could change. I go for the sweat suit look myself (unless I come straight from work, in which case it's T and Jeans. I hope that fits in with the code. I'd look pretty shocking in a thong |

02 Nov 99 - 10:18 PM (#131130) Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MAG (inactive) Wrinkled cottons. When they came in, I knew I had found my look, for life. Now that leotards don't do a thing for me anymore. |
