Thank you so much for that and we're glad to have you here...we have too...I promise!

Lips...I hope the internship gets better...how frustrating...

It's still hot, hot, hot here....how would everyone feel about a cold supper of build-your-own sub sandwiches? I can put out all the meats and cheeses, nice fresh rolls, and of course all the condiments and pickles and lettuce and tomato and such.

My homemade potato salad is yummy, plus cole slaw, tomato-cucumber salad in a nice vinagrette....fesh frruit salad for dessert....

baby...and drive safe tonight....

How hot is it up by you tonight? It's 100 degrees here in NJ, thats northern NJ to be exact!! Could go for some iced latte, maybe DD would be great gotta see!!

Good Evening Everyone,

I am adding some fresh lettuce, croutons, dried cranberries, shredded cheese and salad dressing to Jo Jo's delicious sandwiches...A turkey with Swiss cheese sub sounds delicious and thank you!!!

Lipstix, you should try Starbuck's Light Mocha Frappuccino, it has 150 calories for a medium and is very refreshing...kinda like a chocolate milkshake....but with coffee...Hehe..

Hope you all had a good day and to Jo Jo, Lipstix and anyone else living up in the North, keep cool.....Hopefully the heatwave you all are having goes bye bye soon...

Thanks Zimmy yeah hell its hot, went to the diner for breakfast instead of something like Jenny Craig for a change. I will try Starbuck's Light Mocha Frappuccino, sounds yummy!! Just gonna watch TV tonight and get some rest had a boring ass day at the internship site Anyway will look into Starbuck's do you have them in Florida?? How about Dunkin Donuts. The lady at the internship site wouldn't let me drink my iced tea today I had to throw it away, what a bitch for sure

[lipstixgal]

Gosh wish I could sleep I'm tired but my body won't respond to my sleep needs. Maybe too much diet cola today? Don't know maybe the heat,dogs are all tucked in, trying to bring it down BFP!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Lipstix,

I always hit the DD on my way home from my mom's house. I love their French Vanilla iced coffee with nonfat milk. Starbucks was my friend in Orlando...After working 12 hour days, I had one cup to start my day and one half way through my work day. My fave drink from them is, the Vanilla Latte, iced and hot, with nonfat milk...I just bought their Italian Roast coffee to brew at home, and it isn't as strong as the French Roast but very good. Living in Orlando for over 7 years, I could always find a Starbucks, but here in Palm Coast, there are only two. One is in a SuperTarget and the other one is an actual store, which is about ten miles from my house...

Have fun today and try to keep cool,

Zimmy

Good morning Everyone,

Sending plenty of ice water to our friends in the North....Breakfast, will be light and refreshing. I am thinking of waffles, toast, iced coffee, iced tea, soda's, juice and milk and fresh fruit to go on the waffles. That should be just enough to make us happy without making us feel stuffed.

Have a good day all and I am going to find a good song to slowly wake us up...

Zimmy

For all of us 80's music lovers on here, enjoy...This is the Cover Girls and their hit, Because of You...dedicated to the heat wave that is making all of us hate the summer, hehe..

Good Evening Everyone,

My back is starting to itch from my sunburn and I cannot reach the itch......Since I didn't get a chance to make it for dinner, I am going to leave some homemade brownies and coffee ice cream for dessert.

Have a good night all and see you all in the morning,

Zimmy

Afternoon one and all

Bleeurgh! can't possibly partake of any victuals so pots of tea will have to do *sets tea tray on the table* help yourselves.

Good afternoon Incubus ...I'll just freshen up your cup a bit.

And Good morning to all of the other kitchen dwellers

I'm glad it's Friday...and even more glad that a storm is coming in and will break up this heat we've been having...I can see the grey sky and feel the cool, rain-on-the-way air

Anyone ready for breakfast? I'm thinking it's a steak and egg kind of morning...cooked to order. I like my steak medium and eggs over medium...and some nice crunchy sourdough toast to soak up the yolks.

Can't be all unhealthy though...so there's a platter of fresh pineapple and cantaloupe slices as well. Enjoy!

baby..... I love you.

And you call me a freak? Geesh baby... gettin' all excited over a typo

Good evening everyone...soooooo glad it's Friday.

I'm pooped...but luckily it's cooling off so I don't mind making dinner. The Rooster requested meatloaf, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, corn on the cob and steamed broccoli. (He loves broccoli...seriously).

Dessert? Hmmmmm....any requests? I know my sweetie would vote for something chocolate for sure...

Welcome AtLast ....your percolator question made me smile.

Way back about 100 years ago I was bartending at a tiny, rough little bar in the middle of Wyoming. Lots of ranchers, some miners....tough place. I'd start work about 5 p.m. and first thing I did was to put an ancient percolator on, no matter the weather. Seems a couple of the old ranchers had land spread all over the place...and they'd stop at the bar on the way to do their last drive around before heading home. Several would order "a cup, a cow and a calf."

The cup....percolated coffee, so strong you poured it out and cut it off.
The cow...a fifth of whatever they drank (usually Jack Daniels).
The calf...a pint of the same...that was for the drive home.
Yea...they were some tough guys...and I'd hate to see their livers.

Hi Everyone,

TGIF! I am just drained. It has been a week. I hope everyone is doing well. It feels like a sauna here. All of my flowers are drooping. And now we have water restrictions. No more watering the lawn, or flowers...crap.

[Zimmeh]

Heya Jo Jo,

I still have some homemade brownies and coffee ice cream if you would like some?? I made the brownies with an extra egg, so they are like cake brownies and very addicting, hehe...Have you ever heard of something called Chewy Cake? My stepdad's grandma always makes it, and she finally gave me the recipe. My roommate nearly took the whole Tupperware container to work with her....

Hope you are having a good night and keeping cool,

Zimmy

Scoote what was the word you almost choked on the word "tit" I didn't even realize it until you said something about it. I guess I need better glasses but my eyes are in very bad shape!!

[scootebaby]

howdy kitcheneers...doing a quick drive by.........honey i TOLD you that you would rub off on me...theres ur proof (altho the thought of a tit dipped in guac is kinda funny--at least in my minds eye)

anyway spent the day in the gulf--shark teeth and shell hunting...i sprayed my kid but figured since i already burnt once and was now tan would be no big deal......uhhhh wrong! i am red as a lobster! but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!

so now we are heading to his g/fs to watch a movie and order pizza(ugh)


have a good night everyone\

hope u r cooling off baby and getting some much needed rest....love you

[Chancie]

[Zimmeh]

Welcome to the thread Andrew!!! I can Fed Ex you some iced coffee if you like or some sweet iced tea?

Our heatwave here in Florida has kicked back up and the heat is getting unbearable, even for me....

Anyone have any suggestions on how to take out an itch from a sunburn? It is on my back, just below my shoulders, and I cannot reach it..

Have a good night everyone, I am off to La La Land...

Zimmy
