Coffee and grub

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

You are one of the ten, Trinity!

I'm hungry, too, and tired, and don't feel like getting dressed and going out.

[Trinity]

In case I don't get there in time for ordering, Please order me the three meat BBQ combo of: Brisket, sausage and sausage and a side of chicken fried steak!!!!

[Four-Eyed Buck]

OOooo, Lady Gunfighters, thems dangerous and mysterious ladies. They have a savwa-faire to them.....Congrats, Annie, I'm just a lowly Duelist..........Buck

[Delmonico]

Ok since they don't really serve cyber-meals I came home and dug around the kitchen since I was tired.  Found a loaf of whole wheat sourdough, and a ham steak, a real one with a bone, not "partical board" ham.  Fried it, and spread some butter on the bread and toasted it in another skillet, both sides.

Melted some sharp cheddar on the ham, put some Hellman's on the bread and ground a little fresh pepper on it.  Put the ham on and just had plain ol' samwhiches fer supper.    Guess tommorow night I'll have to really make something!    

[Trinity]

Does that mean I don't get the three meat BBQ combo of: Brisket, sausage and sausage and a side of chicken fried steak??

"Do you eat that much at home?"

John Wayne: "True Grit."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

I had the seared then slow cooked steak, basted with butter and garlic.

Yum.



AnnieLee

[Delmonico]

I did do that one time over an open fire Annie.   When the corn cobs were very hot I seared a 24 oz sirloin the butcher in Talmage Nebrassky had whacked me off a hunk of cow that after noon.  When it was seared I shoveled most of the coals away an put pats of real butter one it and cooked it slow.  When it was done I just sat on the front porch of the cabin and ate it for supper.  Not finger food, double hand food.  Next to last day of deer season and I was the only one there, a mighty fine supper for a hungry hunter.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

I should call mine the TriniDel (or Delnity) Steak, since Del told me how to cook it, and since the steak was dated Aug, 2003 when I pulled it out of the freezer tonight.

Now that's aged, Annie!............Buck

[Trinity]

Yeah, but she didn't let it age even longer in the fridge like I do until it turns grey throughout (not just on the outside, mind you).

As a new owner of a utility trailer, here are the things I learned today.

1. a 1 7/8" hitch will not fit on a 2" ball. (Trip to the store #1)

2. a 3/4" inch shank is not meant for a 1" hole. (trip to the store #2)

3. Put the trailer on the ball before you load it with about a thousand pounds of sand. (At least I remembered to put the tarp down before I started shoveling)

4. Heavy duty jacks are a good thing to have handy.

5. Put bricks behind the wheels of the trailer before you jack it up.

6. The easist way to jack-knife a utility trailer is to put the truck in reverse.

7. The person may be born who can back a utility trailer down a narrow, winding, and fairly steep path, but that person isn't me.

8. 4 wheel drive trucks are gifts from God. So are wheelbarrows.

9. 20  3/4 shovels of sand in a wheel barrow is heavy when you are on a steep incline and heading down.

10. Those back rests things on a wheelbarrow can be used to brake the wheelbarrow as it starts to pull you down that same incline.

11. Cold Pepsi is also a gift from God.

12. So are hot showers.

13. In cases like yours... Apartment living can also be a gift from God. 

[Forty Rod]

Annie, methinks you need a good man in your life.   

Why you could find one to think all kinds of jobs like that for you to do, as well as fetch him beer and sandwiches, wash his truck, and a lot of other good stuff.   

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Trinity, I was working on my range. Hard work? Aye, it was, but call me strange, I enjoyed every minute of the "learning." If the weather is nice and my body permits, I may take tomorrow off and do it all over again, but without the learning curve.

<Looks at Forty Fonzai and pokes him> That's not my definition of a good man.

[Trinity]

Forty:  I drive a sedan.  It's much easier to clean!!    Do I win the bid Miss Annie??

Ooooh, an on-property range!  Now that is when a person knows that he or she has truly arrived.  Forget the BMW or the Caddie...  <<Whispers>>Are you going to build an old west town???

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Forty:  I drive a sedan.  It's much easier to clean!!    Do I win the bid Miss Annie??

I dunno, Trinity, you said a while back that you don't do outside chores. <Le sigh>

Ooooh, an on-property range!  Now that is when a person knows that he or she has truly arrived.  Forget the BMW or the Caddie...  <<Whispers>>Are you going to build an old west town???

Heck no, I have sheds to build, a root cellar to dig, a raised bed garden to put in... Oh yeah, and one day, I really should get around to building a house! As ranges go, this one is small, but it should be enough for me, Will, and the occasional invitee.

Or any kind of chore for that matter  <Le double sigh>

Wow, do you even hire out your laundry?

Miss Annie,

Trinty does not does not hire out his laundry, he has it sent on clipper ship to china to be cleaned, just like they did in the old days.
