Well. shortly the bear will be turning 65 years old!!! Like last time we need to have a big online party for him… Since he is now retired we can crash in on him at the cee-ment pond, He will love that!
As before I will bring the cake. It will have to be big, I expect we will get a lot of partygoers. I will also bake some sausage-cheese balls. The folks at my church love them, and swampbear and I are both Whiskypalians.
He still likes beer and cookies, according to his profile, but who else will come, and what other food do we need?
Much as I like Swampy, I cannot come to Georgia as that would involve getting on a commercial type airplane. After my last trip to Georgia, (when my brother was dying), I have sworn off flying with those people for the duration.
However, I will celebrate from afar. You only get to become an official old fart once in your life, (if you’re lucky).
I will come. I will make a Brooklyn Subway Cake, and a ton of shrimp 'n grits. I’m torn between representing the G&T side of the clan or the micro-brew side. Hell with it. I’ll bring them both.
In honor of the one and only date I had with swampy, I’ll place a special order with Whitey’s Fish Camp, with an emphasis on scallops and shrimp and catfish. And some good melons from the local Amish farms.
Well let’s see. I have two deviled egg plates so I shall bring deviled eggs in my plates and I know he has multiple deviled egg plates. Maybe **Mooom ** can bring some of her fancy colored deviled egg fixings. Need meats. Since Swampy just lurves folks messing in his kitchen I shall bring mucho meats and we call all help cook it. Also for a summer baby watermelon is a must. Pepper jelly over cheese w/ crackers. At the end I shall contribute anything else needed.
[del]I’m not sure if I’m supposed to know about this yet, so I am posting in stealth mode. Maybe I should be getting busy and cleaning up da cave and making sure there’s enough seating around the cee-mint pond. Then again, if a bunch of Dopers are showing up maybe I should the sheriff’s office so the SWAT team won’t get sent out this year. :D[/del]
Can somebody bring a barbie? If so, I’ll go down the creek and catch a couple of barra* and some prawns* and once the grill is nice and hot we’ll chuck 'em on. And also good Aussie beer, in an esky* full of ice so it’s really cold.
I’ve decided, in addition to the chocolate birthday cake, I’ll make my sausage/cheese balls. I can make the dough this morning and get up early tomorrow to bake them, before we storm the Cave and veg out around the cee-mint pond.
