I come from a family that loved to fish. Summers consisted the coast and salmon fishing (plus some others if we went beach fishing) and clam/crab catching, central Oregon for Trout and Crawdads.
The idea of life without seafood sound complete foriegn.

A good brisket sounds absolutely great. Too bad I can't get a piece of one here, because I'm sure not going to cook one for just myself. You changed your name! When did you change your name? Are you back in the states for a while? How's the family!Hey Pat!
I think I need a jerry or at least get the jw stocked. But it does sound like you need to stock the jerry with more interesting fare.How I be doing? Way to busy. Between training someone here at work and having to get a part time job, I'm hardly ever on line anymore. Someday I'll get my life back.

Well Bek, you know how life can get in the way of things. As it is I left the house at 7:00am and won't be getting back until midnight. This is going to be a very LONG day.
Pat, things to go in the jerry. Chicken and dumplings, chili, pears, ravioli, vegitable beef and bailey soup ...
... I'll have to think about it some more but those are things from the top of my head. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

while they all sound quite lovely, gidg... how am I going to make any of that last as long as stuff in cans? that canned stuff will outlast the cockroaches after a nuclear holocaust...!!

yep...none of those smelly little fishies for me!!!
Nothing much that you get out of a can is gonna taste very good...which is why you need a good little southern witch to keep you fed the way that you should be!!!
Gidg, hun.....I'd say that you deserve a break.....
Maybe you can catch a little bit of one over the holidays!
Me?....I have to try my hand at making the Divinity candy this year.....and a few more things of the sort that I've never tried.....
I haven't even put up any Yule decorations yet and it's almost here!!! I'm horrible!!!

Pat, all that stuff I can get right off of the grocers shelf. I've had all of that stuff and it doesn't taste like crap, but maybe you don't get the brands down there that I use.
Actually the chicken and dumplings and the ravioli are local companies that don't ship out of the area. Sorry.Bek, your Grandpa is just plane strange. Now it would be different if we were talking about oysters or clams. Ummmmm goood! I know that I need a break but it won't come until after the holidays. I'm hoping that everything will be straightened out after the holidays, then I'm going to take a week and work my day job and do nothing at night, not even going to a dance. I need some time to recoupe.
I need to start making major batches of fudge, since everyone likes it that's what they are getting. I've been thinking about Divinity but then that would require me to by a candy thermomitor and I just don't have the energy to go out and get one. My place is completely decorated now, minus the tree. No reason to have one when you live by yourself and there really isn't any room for one unless you majorily rearrange things.
OK guys, let's face it. Unless it's just bad cooking, nothing beats a home cooked meal.

My Pop was a southern tobacco farmer...he also kept cans of Vienna Sausages (ewww....puppy peters!!!) and deviled ham and yes, oysters in his supply!!! But he also always had Fruit Stripe gum!!! I loved my Pop immensely and still remember the sound of his voice and his smile to this day....he died when I was 8.Mmmmmmmm......fudge!!! *mouth watering*
Awww.....so sorry that you don't have your sweetheart there with you for the holiday.....neither do I...
...Just gotta make the most of it and have lots and lots of patience! I hope that you have a lovely one anyway, girl! How about some country stlye steak and gravy and mashed taters and biscuits??? Now THAT's home cooking!!!

That's OK, it life. Give these to Myste. VT, you know that you have royal screwed me up now when it comes to your name. There is no way that I'm going to remember you by JW or Jew Nasty. I see your icon and I think VT. It's just never going to change.

You don't count Patrick, you're not into chocolate
... though you and Myste are the only ones here that have ever tasted my fudge.Pat, you're always hungry ... but what can we expect from a guy who eats out of a jerry.
OK everyone feel sorry for me now. I've cracked a tooth and going into the dentist tomorrow. Dentists are great, it's what they do that I really don't like.

Awww...poor Gidg!!!
I've gotta go and have some extensive dental work done starting in January...
The combo of 2 kids, 5 surgeries, and about 6 months of crushed ice cravings (whilst pregnant with the last kid) did a pretty good job of weakening my teeth up, so I need to have something done with them...don't know exactly what just yet...
...but if they give me enough drugs, then I won't really care...and as long as they fix them up all nice and 'purty.' Like this...
