|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R Date: 04 Nov 99 - 10:44 PM I'm up for a bit of smoked mullett and avocado and beer. Say MMario, where DID those brownies come from? Not the back yard I hope.
S'paw's at the door again, Your turn. Anyone want to write the verses for the rest of the week? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 04 Nov 99 - 05:18 PM y'know, if people are gonna parade their dogs and cats around here the least they can do is clean up after themselves....The back yard looks like someone held a mass orgy, and this room isn't much better!!! Scared Dido half out of her wits...and Cleigh was babbling something about never wanting to see another wieneriemer in his life.... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Caitrin Date: 03 Nov 99 - 09:15 PM Susan, thanks so much for the pesto recipe. It was lovely! I haven't gotten a chance to try yours yet, MMario, but I will soon. ~Caitrin |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 03 Nov 99 - 10:55 AM I'm just sittin' in the corner munchin' on these brownies... strange taste.... and I'm giggling at the suggestions and the humour of the 'cat oh,god, I'm giggling there are 'possums in the shrimp and gargoyles in the corner My dog is a Pointer, -lookin' for a cat. There are elves on the radio and doppelgangers in the chat and POSSUMS IN THE SHRIMP Am I singing flat? When the threads is all a-tangle and tempers running hot they'll be 'possums in the shrimp and the Tavern is OUR spot!

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Roger the skiffler Date: 03 Nov 99 - 04:19 AM ..Aw. 'Spaw, now they know I've got a hammer, I'll be on tiple duty for a week! I'll join you on the dance floor, though my cross to bear is two left feet. Is that "Turkey in the straw" they're playing? No, it's "Possum int he shrimp" Never heard that one before! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MAG (inactive) Date: 02 Nov 99 - 10:18 PM 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R Date: 02 Nov 99 - 10:09 PM 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 |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MAG (inactive) Date: 02 Nov 99 - 09:37 PM 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! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 01 Nov 99 - 10:45 AM I could use a few days at the NYCFTTS. I wonder if my medical plan would cover it? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Roger the skiffler Date: 01 Nov 99 - 10:31 AM 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 |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Mían Date: 29 Oct 99 - 03:38 PM Re: dress code, see the mambo site link above for acceptable samples. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bert Date: 29 Oct 99 - 02:18 PM yes, you must wear a dress |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 29 Oct 99 - 01:56 PM soemone said the Tavern sounded like an "upscale place" and wanted to know if we had a dress code. What should we answer? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 29 Oct 99 - 12:34 PM 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
|
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R Date: 27 Oct 99 - 11:01 PM 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.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Caitrin Date: 27 Oct 99 - 09:10 PM 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? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R Date: 26 Oct 99 - 11:38 PM Now this is a PARTY!! Dancin' and all. Now which is my left foot?? 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!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MAG (inactive) Date: 26 Oct 99 - 11:13 PM For those of us who are mambo challenged, how 'bout a conga line? Here's a samba whistle ... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: TheMuse Date: 26 Oct 99 - 09:46 PM 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. . . . |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: DonMeixner Date: 26 Oct 99 - 09:22 PM 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 |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 99 - 08:20 PM 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 |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: TheMuse Date: 26 Oct 99 - 07:13 PM 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? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Roger the skiffler Date: 26 Oct 99 - 11:54 AM (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?? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 26 Oct 99 - 11:08 AM 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: WyoWoman Date: 26 Oct 99 - 10:57 AM 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 |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: alison Date: 26 Oct 99 - 10:51 AM ... it matters to me (good song Bert.....) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bert Date: 26 Oct 99 - 09:43 AM 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 99 - 08:55 AM 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... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Davey Date: 26 Oct 99 - 08:10 AM 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: katlaughing Date: 26 Oct 99 - 07:32 AM Whooo, Alison! You did give fair warning, but man! I don't know if I'll ever recover from that!**BG** |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: alison Date: 26 Oct 99 - 01:28 AM (any of you still recovering from the hamsters should ignore this..... but it's a beauty)..... anyone feel the need to work off some of this food.... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: alison Date: 26 Oct 99 - 01:21 AM Isn't Caitrin an Irish form of Kathryn? Getting very popular again along wtih Caitlin, (isn't a week goes by we don't deliver a Caitlin or Jack in work).... hey Mick, ignore the man with the lagerphone... where's this meal you promised me??? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: katlaughing Date: 26 Oct 99 - 12:58 AM Surfer, that's really interesting. Thanks for letting us know about it. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: annamill Date: 25 Oct 99 - 09:54 PM Caitrin, welcome! I was born in NC, but I don't remember. I was young then. What a wonderful name. From whence doth it come! Love, Annap |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Caitrin Date: 25 Oct 99 - 09:47 PM Thanks so much for the welcome, kat. I have a fabulous appetite, both real and virtual, having been raised in the most food-centered household in all of North Carolina. Thirst for drink, life, and music I have as well. :) And Humor has always been a favorite of mine. I think I'll have a seat. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: DougR Date: 25 Oct 99 - 08:09 PM Annap: Congratlations! There is nothing worse than hating to go to a job in the morning. It appears to me you will be looking forward to going to the new one. The whole banking industry appears to be in a shambles! In fact, I'll drink to that! But then I'll drink to most anything. I'll just help myself to a bit of vodka on the rocks with a small splash of water. That should do it. Mick, I hope we some of your grand recepies on that thread soon. They sound delish. DougR |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 25 Oct 99 - 04:13 PM I am here as a former poor, tortured soul who has at last, (thanks to Uilleand,) untangled the philosopher's knot of the egg and the pippin. But, alas, "the love that has no end" may still be hidden in the shadows - perhaps here at the tavern. I could use a taste of George's finest 12-year-old stuff and a bit of counseling - or so I've been told... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: annamill Date: 25 Oct 99 - 09:47 AM Thanks Everyone. I'm very happy. We can bring everything to the hot tub but red wine. I was sitting in a jacuzzi with a friend. Warm Zeppelin on the stereo, small candles all around, and a bottle of red from his own vineyard. Perfect! 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.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bill Cameron Date: 25 Oct 99 - 01:06 AM MAde it just close to closing time, I guess. Didn't get a raise (congrats Annap)--need a job, actually, and I'd probably be a lot closer to getting one if I wasn't so damn busy checking out my old Net haunts, and trying to put on a little concert series. Just had the first concert tonight, in fact, it was an artistic triumph that lost a bit of money, so I'm happy. Pour me a stiff ginger ale! MAke it a double! On second thought, I guess I can have a Guinness here, if nowhere else. Mmmmmm. Chewy. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: katlaughing Date: 25 Oct 99 - 12:27 AM Ouch! Alan! Caitrin, Welcome, Welcome to the Mudcat Tavern! Nice of you to join us, all you need is a virtual appetite, thirst of a desert rat, and a good sense of humour. Feel free to partake and share a song or two. Anna, CONGRATULATIONS! Whoo-Hoo!!! Sounds BIG TIME to me! Do you commute or is this something you can do from a home office? sounds wonderful and important! Whatcha gonna fill the hot tub with? Please give Caitrin whatever she wants on me and I'd like an amaretto sour, please. Ah, cooking sure smells good, Mick. Ya lost me for awhile there with the (eww!) calves liver stuff. Does that come in tofu?:-) Have a seat Caitrin, put your feet and set a spell. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Alan of Australia Date: 24 Oct 99 - 11:48 PM An Old Person walks through the door (well not too old as I keep telling THE FAIR ONE - sorry Mick, copyright infringement). Just keeping an eye on Big Mick. He's eaten with THE FAIR ONE, chased her through the surf, looked worn out afterwards (can't run fast enough). But he'd better not try to SING with her. Believe me Mick, the lagerphone is much more painful coming out than going in.
Cheers, |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: TheMuse Date: 24 Oct 99 - 11:30 PM Annap, I've eyed this tavern from afar wondering if I dare . . . then I heard the celebration for resigning from a BANK and I just had to join in. Congrats on the new job. I've worked for the same bank forever but have had about 5 different owners - you know how that goes in the banking industry these days. The most recent owners are pretty arrogant and us old timers would love to create a little havoc in our investment area. Think you could manage to pull a few plugs in the "automated" stock exchange? I would be eternally grateful and may even contribute some "bubbly" for your new hot tub at your January bash. Now then, has anyone got any ideas on how to spruce up a ginger ale? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Caitrin Date: 24 Oct 99 - 10:12 PM A New Person walks through the door... Greetings. I came to look for lyrics, and you folk seemed so interesting while reading the threads, I thought I'd stop in and say hello. :) |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Big Mick Date: 24 Oct 99 - 09:53 PM Congratulations, dear one. I am so happy for you. Obviously there are companies out there who recognize talent. I am cooking, Anna, name your meal.............LEEJ,.....GET THE FARM ANIMALS OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND CLEAN IT UP.......WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY TO CELEBRATE ANNAP'S SUCCESSYou might want to go out and jog a bit, folks...this is going to be fattening...........Annap, pull me a vile, dark one.............FAIR ONE, would you be so kind as to join me? I just want to gaze on ye, to inspire the cooking..........but no griddles, OK?????.......... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: annamill Date: 24 Oct 99 - 09:44 PM Hello Everyone, I just stopped in for a malted. Please "MAKE ME A MALTED" (Lenny Bruce) I have some good news. Friday, I handed in my resignation to Bank of New York where I have been an employee for 4 years. 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. Sometimes.... life is good. To heck with the malted, Tanquerey and Tonic, no lime please? Is anyone tending? I used to be a pretty good tenderess, shall I get it myself? Would anyone else like something? We need to celebrate.
