Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Big Mick Date: 24 Oct 99 - 01:38 PM I am not going to respond, but WW, if you could read my mind just now I would be in BIG trouble........LOL. Big Mick |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: WyoWoman Date: 24 Oct 99 - 01:30 PM Hey, kids. Look what I just found! A big box of maracas/shakers shaped like fruit and veggies. Fruit shakes! The only way I can preserve my waistline after being so delightfully nourished by the Big Mick is to dance it off. So would someone please start us a song that could use a good rhythm section (Maybe "Alabama John Cherokee?") and let's shake these things. Hey, Mick, I notice you were the first to grab the big banana... oh. sorry. I thought that was a fruit shaker... WW |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bill Cameron Date: 23 Oct 99 - 11:00 PM I'll have the fish and chips. And a very cold Double Diamond. (In my dreams. Had my last pint one year ago this week. Right after I saw the Tannahill Weavers in a club in Ottawa--didn't really sober up till Christmas actually. Bill p.s. Nice ta see youse all. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Big Mick Date: 23 Oct 99 - 10:37 PM I t'ink we start with some seafood today, but move to something else. How about we warm up with some Roast Scallops with mixed peppers? I love these things, that I always have to buy extras cause I munch the hell out of them. 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. Eat up and enjoy, Leej. We'll do some of the country stuff next week. Mick |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 23 Oct 99 - 09:49 PM Damn but I have had a full two days of wheelin, dealin, and makin money! I think all 63 of the folks that live within a 200 mile radius of my store came in and spent their paychecks! Let's pop a bottle of White Star Brut and celebrate! And give me two plates of the MickSeafood Special of the Day! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Jeri Date: 23 Oct 99 - 07:46 PM I just volunteered to compile - oh, what have I done? What about folks who don't have plastic? We really need Max's approval and input if this is gonna be a Mudcat thing. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: katlaughing Date: 23 Oct 99 - 06:04 PM Jeri, wouldn't have to print and bind. Everyone can just download and print, put them in their own binders, after giving their credit card number of course.**BG** Just need someone to coordinate and assemble in some order. Mmmm, time on my hands, but I'm trying to find paying jobs, so, I'll have to think about it. In the meantime, I'll at least start a thread for them. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Jeri Date: 23 Oct 99 - 05:37 PM We started the recipes in another thread - cross-cultural something-or-other. Maybe we should use those and start a new one just for favorite recipes. We can get somebody to put them together and make them look nice, and Max could hawk 'em. Max, you wanna? 'Course, I have no idea how much it would cost to print and bind them, and nobody probably has the up-front bucks to do it. How much would these babies cost to make? Food on the brain - I better go get something to eat. Mick keeps making me drool, and I don't know how much more this keyboard can take! |

" the Mudcat Birthday party must have been some bash, I only just made it back and didn't even get to fire the salute I had planned!" he drops two blank cartridges on the bar," A large grapefruit juice please my friend and I will sit here and try to piece together the missing bits."

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: WyoWoman Date: 23 Oct 99 - 01:06 AM Aw, Rick. "In My Life" is on your CD? Now I will go buy it this very second. (Where?) That song makes me melt. McGrath, thanks for the Blue Clicky Song. I don't know the tune, but the words are simply swell. It's been one o' those weeks, boyzngrrls. I'll have a splash o' Mr. Jameson's finest and a soft place to curl up for a few minutes while I gather myself back together. What? Hmmm? Who is that over in the corner, offering a soft place to curl up .... I can't see you in this dim light.... And I think a Mudcat cookbook is simply a splendid idea. I'll help. It'll have to have *some* spice in it... WyoWoman |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: katlaughing Date: 22 Oct 99 - 11:55 PM Mmmm, Susan, pumpkin pie, just about the only kind I eat! Sounds great. Mick, Jeri is right, only you need to put together a Mudcat Cookbook, with your recies, 'Spaw's and several others who would like to contrinute and just have it be a regular feature for sale here. 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? Rick, how about your version of In My Life, off the new cd? Lovely..I like it better than original Beatle's version! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Susan A-R Date: 22 Oct 99 - 11:21 PM Say Mick, how would some nice pumpkin pie with real whipped cream go with all of the good stuff you've just made? Also, there are some nifty sweet potato fritters in the skillet in the kitchen. I'd think they'd be great with the carrot cilantro soup. Now, need any prep help? Just give me a mug of the black vile stuff and a chef's knife and I'm happy. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 22 Oct 99 - 11:07 PM *dusts of the man of Harlow and helps him back into the bar* "Never say die" must be the motto of yer family, no? But never think we ejected you from this the most friendly of taverns, you merley tripped over one of Lamarca's flamingos...amazing how THAT pink a bird can blend right into the wodwork, isn't it? You wouldn't want to leave before Mick finishes cooking, now, someone might get offended. Koko gets VERY upset if she thinks someone is slighting Big Mick. And NONE of us want Koko offended....

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Jeri Date: 22 Oct 99 - 10:54 PM Mick, have you considered auctioning off some of your recipes here? I don't know about anyone else around here, but you're driving me absolutely batshit! (drool, drool) |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Oct 99 - 10:53 PM He wakes up momentarily. "Sorry lads, that should have been< href=http://www.macgrath.freeserve.co.uk/Songlists/newsongs.htm#The Blue Clicky Thing/>clicky blue thing" He slumbers once more, noisily.

But with a smile and a wave he passes out on the floor for the night.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Big Mick Date: 22 Oct 99 - 06:06 PM The door flies open and the biggest Mick in the village comes striding across the floor carrying several plates of Mushrooms marinated in red wine, honey and herbs balanced precariously on a pot of Carrot-Cilantro soup.............Allright yiz bunch of layabouts, throw a piece of plywood over the pool table and cover it with a cloth. You may have moved out of the Oyster bar, but ole Mick has brought over some happy hour vittles.........what Rick?...........it's Carrot-Cilantro Soup?......huh?.....bite me, dammit.

|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bert Date: 22 Oct 99 - 05:13 PM Alan, which sing about 'the ukelele'? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 22 Oct 99 - 05:12 PM Yeah, if I won that much I could pay off all my debts and probably have enough left over for a week's groceries! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 22 Oct 99 - 05:07 PM Gotta laugh! Gotta Sing! Got a drink? Anyone want to do the grocery shopping for me? Seriously non-motivated tonight. I'd MUCH rather just sit back here in the tavern and try to learn "The Blue Clicky Thing" or 4 versions of "GoodNight and god be with you"....which reminds me, godda...ahem...goodzda...(cough)... got to (that's better!) get out onto BruceO's site and grab a fresh copy of his "rare songs".... so much to do, so little time. Now if I could just win the lotto this weekend...25 mill. I could manage. It would be tough, but I could manage.... MMario |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 22 Oct 99 - 05:05 PM Okay, Bert. It is your turn. Could you please sing the one about the ukelele? What a cool song! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bert Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:58 PM An English boilermaker is a 'stout and mild' |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Uilleand Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:54 PM Well, then let's sing 'The Blue Clicky Thing' instead. What a neat song. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:51 PM "wembley and Harrow?" Streets broad and NARROW!! *urp*! 'scuse please, shouldn't have had that third helping of possum stew....and gotta remember to send the possumbarbecuetwosteprag off before I lose the file... long week, long weekend to come, pour me a beer! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Davey Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:42 PM Creeeeaaakkk... pushing the door open, trying to sneak in for a pint after work.... Oh, hi folks, I didn't realize there would be so many here at this early hour.. And a guitar, too.... Just love guitar music and singing along with a good chorus. HEY bartender, a pint of something dark and cold, no not THAT dark, I like to drink my beer, not chew it. And put a slice of lime in it, will ya? Thanks, Ahhh! That's refreshing after a hard week at work. Nice place you have here, and what a wonderful fragrance drifting from the kitchen !! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Dave Swan Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:37 PM O.K. Bert, What's an English boilermaker? E.S. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Bert Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:22 PM Must be nearly happy hour. Set me up a boilermaker. That's an English boilermaker not an American one! OK. Alan We'll all join in ...She wheels her wheelbarrow through Wembley and Harrow.... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 22 Oct 99 - 04:11 PM Well, wouldn't you know it, Uilleand came up the back stairs just as I was headed down! Okay, I'll sing if you guys will help. I have been really wanting to sing "Molly Malone". |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Uilleand Date: 22 Oct 99 - 01:45 PM Well, TGIF! I'm sorely in need of some sustenance. And what better place to find it than at the tavern. Hey, Allan, when you get done inspecting the 'brew', pick up that guitar and sing us a song. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 22 Oct 99 - 01:37 PM I, for one, am virtually stuffed on all this wonderful seafood Mick has prepared. I have a deep and abiding love for seafood (well, hell - any food!) and Mick has made it more delicious than I have ever experienced. Now, if someone will hand me a draft - no, no! Not any of that stuff you can see through! There... that's the ticket. Now, if anyone wants to find me (and I hope they don't come looking) I'll be in the basement checking out the contents of a certain cauldron. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Oct 99 - 01:42 AM Whatever you say. You de cook...you de boss! Think I'll pass on the Au Gratin Potatoes, though, Spudmeister. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Big Mick Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:23 PM 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 |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: annamill Date: 20 Oct 99 - 07:41 PM 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 20 Oct 99 - 01:35 PM I was reading "Tavern and Oyster bar" yesterday after having skipped lunch, and I'll tell you it was absolutely brutal. 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:57 AM Rts - just use "the door" to come and go! that way you can set it to be right next to the center! *eg* Just hope you don't try to use it while 'Spaw is using it... |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Roger the skiffler Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:53 AM Don't take all the umbrage, MMario, I'll have a little to go with my 3-star. I'm worn out, each move seems to take the Tavern further from the Neil Young Center. Look at what they've done to all our Elvis wands, made them into a mobile. Could win the Turner Prize though. RtS |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:12 AM Allan, I think I know what you mean. I seriously considered taking umbrage the other night when people were talking about a road trip and the fact that I spent the whole trip as the sole male in a carload of women. the comment "We were safe, it was MMario" - didn't exactly boost my ego. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Allan C. Date: 20 Oct 99 - 10:04 AM Okay, I guess Uilleand remembers more of what happened (or didn't happen) on the porch than I thought. 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! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: Uilleand Date: 20 Oct 99 - 09:48 AM Don't forget the jello pit and the hot tub. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: MMario Date: 20 Oct 99 - 09:34 AM 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! |
|
Subject: Mudcat Tavern #16 From: alison Date: 20 Oct 99 - 09:22 AM Thought it was time for another move... it was getting very steamy out on that porch.... (not to mention taking a long time to download). Anyone game to investigate the basement and see what Uilleand has been brewing?????..... Not you Mick you're plenty frisky enough after all those oysters.......... |
