You forgot “hold my beer”.
Yay me!
That too.
:rolleyes:
Ribs are a’smokin’! It’s smelling good out there! Brats will go in about 3 for the last 2 hours. Then I’ll need to find freezer space. We bought a dozen snow crab clusters - that’s tomorrow’s supper. Yum!
I also read how to make beef jerky in the smoker - I guess that’ll be the next experiment.
Whites are out of the dryer - guess I should pair up some socks, huh?
emily, you could get ambitious and shoot for half. 
shoe, Tennessee English uses the plural as well. 
It looks like I’ll get to duck out early today. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the St. Pat’s festival downtown and possibly sitting in a set with a friend’s Irish band.
It’s nice to have appliances that help you cook/make food. (is “appliances” the right word here?) My family recently got a new breadmaker. And of course, our doughnut maker is fun, though we haven’t had reason to use it in a while.
I’ll call the smoker an appliance - you plug it in, just like a fridge or a blender!
I can’t believe how good the ribs are smelling - I’m sure the cherry wood has a lot to do with it. In about 10 minutes, I’ll have to put some more chips in, then half an hour after that, the bratwursts go in. I think I’ll pull them out of the fridge to start warming a bit.
Howdy from da cave! I hereby officially declare it the weekend! :: Opens Beer ::
Burgers 'n fries for dindin. I have lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles to go on the burger so as to make 'em all healthy.
MOOOOOOM I say my smoker, outdoor cooker, and grill are all appliances. I call the little covered deck they live on my outside kitchen.
swampy’s having fries on a Fryday!
blurf
FCM: “Hey there, Mr. Sock, it’s Friday eve & I know a *loooovvvveeeely *white tube that would be just *perfect *for you.”
Even better if you can do this while FCD is on the roof…with a violin. 
Swampy, you were on weekend before I even ate lunch. :mad:
The last load of chips have been added to the smoker. Next time the timer beeps, it’ll be time to unload. YUM!!
Meanwhile, I should probably go get the clothes off the line. I don’t want to be rushing to bring the laundry in while the ribs are calling for my attention!!
I have [del]poured lava and boiling acid on[/del]bathed Gordie. I gave him a cookie afterwards, for [del]being brave[/del]not wetting himself during the ordeal.
Gotta be fast to keep up with da bear! 
Burgers have been et, even the Fryday fries midget.
All is well.
Swampy, are you getting ready for your church St. Paddy’s Day bash?
Just FYI, the ribs were yummerrific! And there are lots of leftovers. All I need now is for the smoker-cleaning fairy to sneak in and, well, clean the smoker.
Anyone???
We’ll be doin’ that next weekend DeathMistress. Maybe we should give you an official Mumper nick. Hmmmm… I say cookie!
Anywho, tomorrow is the second annual “Lap A Leprechaun” 5/10 K run and one mile fun walk. Last year we did both on the same day and that was a bit much. Thus next Sattidy I shall be amongst the cooks for the big feast. It’ll be more fun now that we have a for real Parish Hall.
MOOOOOOM the smoker cleanin’ fairy is the most slack of all fairies. This I have discovered first hand.
I’ve got 4 four-rib slabs for the freezer along with 7 smoked brats. The other 2 brats are in the fridge for whenever. I don’t eat them, but **FCD **lurves 'em.
In another 30 minutes, I have to take an antibiotic - so glad this is the last day for those nasty things! Unfortunately, I can’t eat for an hour after I take it, so no ice cream till 9. That sucks. I hate having to wait!!! <pout>
Sometimes it’s so hard to be me.
We shall all testify at the Canonize Fairy Chat Hearing.
I got my least favorite job at work today again. Two days in a row.
Ain’t gonna happen again – I picked up a couple live chickens on the way home. Now to Google around for some good Santaria chants.
I think it’s time to sign off and have a snooze. MWAH!
