[OPEN] Covered-dish Dinner

[wvmtnkid]

wvmtnkid!!! John Deere, I love tractors. I want to get rich and own a farm and drive a tractor.

Another John Deere fan! One of my dreams is to one day own a house with enough land that I can have a John Deere tractor to mow with. What more could a country girl ask for.....(well at least a semi-county girl, I haven't lived in the country for awhile)

But I love those really big ones with the enclosed cab. What exactly I would do with one, I don't know. But I am sure I would look very cool driving one around.... If you get your farm, and I get my big John Deere, I'll be more than happy to come drive around with you!

 

[wvmtnkid]

Welcome Theofilus! Just grab a plate and dig in. We have had all sorts of wonderful dishes come through this thread. We sure don't lack very long for food here!

You sure can, in fact I was planning on you

Those big ones are cool. They have air conditioning and cd players...luxury. Well, if you lived on a farm, you could ride to town in it...nothing runs like a Deere

I've never been to the northeast. That would be a fun trip.

*gets out the chocolate shell dip for the ice cream*

 

[Theofilus]

Hey, all you tractor fans. How would you like to have one of these?

I thought you said I was the brat.

Looking over the table we seem to be a bit heavy on sweets and not much else soooo*******

Here's a plate of oven fried chicken, a basket of rolls, a dish of mashed potatoes and another of corn. (Hey, it is cool today and I felt like cooking).

Is there any coffee left??

Yum, there is nothing better than "real" food. It's like dessert.

*Passes Celtie a tankard of coffee*

A feast fit for a king, um, er queen Thanks Celtie!!

How about some more international food. I brought some Icelandic black bread with pickled herring, some dried fish and blood sausage. Anybody want some? I didn't have any pickled rams thingies but if someone wants to try them, I'll get some.

Celtie, I thought this was interesting too but I think I'll pass on a few items Theo, you are an original!!

Yikes! We haven't eaten for a week!!! Are we still alive???

I'm in the mood for a big breakfast. I was in TN for a few days, and did I ever have some of the most wonderful, huge breakfasts. My body wasn't quite sure what to do because it count's itself lucky to get a bowl of cereal and a cup of yogurt in the mornings.

Anyway, in honor of TN breakfast's:

Eggs, bacon, potatoes, grits, sausage gravy, biscuits, pancakes, maple syrup, butter, apple fritters, apple butter, orange juice and a nice, steaming pot of coffee.

Where in TN were you?? I am near Bristol, which means we are bracing for race week (shudder). My kids will get out of school early on Friday--they don't want the buses in our part of the district getting caught in traffic heading to the track for qualifying that afternoon. We will most likely spend the weekend hiding out at home. We are close enough to hear the track noise when the wind is right and the jets do the return loop of their fly over over our house, but we are far enough away to not be bothered by the traffic. We will watch the races at home-we have never gone to see them live. Home offers softer seats, cheaper eats and a shorter line at the restroom . I don't know if my husband is planning to help park cars again or not. It may be the last time they can in the space they have been using--I think it is where the new condos are going up across from the track.

I went through Bristol! I spent a few days in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinsburg area. Were I live in WV, on race weekends in Bristol, even our hotels and restaurants are full and I am several hours from Bristol! Thanks for the warning!

At some point during my vacation, most of my family was together. My cousin and his children are really into NASCAR. So, they wanted to ride the go-carts and "race". He has 3 girls (the loves of my life!), 8, 6, and 4. The the 4 year old would not ride with anyone but me (the kids had to ride with someone on the track we were on, they couldn't ride by themselves.) After we get in the go-carts and one time around the track, Morgan looks over at me and says, with her little bottom lip quivering "I don't want to ride anymore!" So I took it slow for a couple of turns. But her grandpa and dad kept passing us with her sisters with them, and she decided she didn't like them to pass her, so she wanted me to go faster! She ended up liking the go-carts after all and wanted to keep riding them. She was a hoot once she realized how much fun they were. Watch out, though, when she gets turned loose on the highways!

Hey Celtie-

It's almost time for those magical words......

"Gentleman, start your engines!!!"


/me is guessing they still say this before a race. It's been awhile since she has been to one......
