12:32 am
sammysmom

if you think someone is capable or apt to do something like that, who would you report it to. and what good would it do>>>>>>>> noone could do anything until they actually committed a crime and is this country committing a crime is too easy and too easy to get away with.................

Fell asleep last night with the TV on,
Oh, what a dream I had.
Dreamed I went and answered ev'ry single
One of those late night mail order ads.
Then four to six weeks later,
Much to my surprise,
The mailman came to my front door
And I couldn't believe my eyes.

He brought the Vegematic
And the Pocket Fisherman, too,
Illuminated, illustrated History of Life
And Box Car Willie with a ginsu knife,
A bamboo steamer and a garden weasel, too,
And a tie dyed day-glow souvenir shirt
From Six Flags Over Burbank.

Well, the doorbell rang all mornin',
All through the afternoon,
And I shook with fright as it rang all night
By the light of the Mastercard moon.
There was Federal Express in the pantry,
Parcel Post in the hall,
COD to the ceiling,
And I just couldn't pay for it all.

I got an egg scrambler
With a seal-a-meal carryin' case,
A set of Presidential Commemorative Plates
So I could eat my eggs off a President's face,
A minute mender
And a needle that'll knit or crochet
And an autographed photograph of Rin Tin Tin
At Six Flags Over Burbank.

Well I know that I was dreamin'
So I gave a mighty cheer
When I awoke, it was no joke
'Cause all that shit was here,
So if you fall asleep with the TV on
Let me tell you what to do.
Rip the telephone out of the wall
Unless you want this to happen to you.

You get Vegematic and the Pocket Fisherman, too,
Iluminated, illustrated History of Life
And Box Car Willie with a ginsu knife,
A bamboo steamer and a garden weasel, too,
And a tie dyed day-glow souvenir shirt
From Six Flags Over Burbank.

my mom saw it way back at the Kennedy Center before it came to Broadway -- she liked it but "Bring Him Home" tore her to pieces - reminded her of the 6 weeks during WWII when her brother was missing after being shot down at the Battle of the Bulge (he was eventually found and was OK)

7:34 pm
welki

know what i found, though? beautiful, fresh, sweet mussels from nova scotia. the best ever since i moved inland
7:34 pm
rururocks

seems to be happening every year
7:35 pm
rururocks

I love mussels
7:35 pm
welki

i don't buy crabs frequently enough to worry (or notice) - maybe 4 or 6 times each year
7:35 pm
rururocks

i get a hankering for crab and have to have it
7:36 pm
welki

me too
7:37 pm
rururocks

How do you know when mussels are really done?
7:37 pm
welki

these are from aquaprime mussel ranch - if you ever see them, try 'em
7:38 pm
welki

no longer than 8 minutes if they're spaced properly in the pan, because they'll be in there a couple of minutes longer while you scrounge around for an oven glove or a plate for service
7:39 pm
rururocks

ah on boil?
7:39 pm
welki

noo!
7:39 pm
rururocks

steam?
7:39 pm
welki

i've tried lots of ways, but simplest is best. for us, two pounds is about right, more if you're really hungry...
7:40 pm
welki

wash, scrub, debeard them - let them soak in salted cold water. if aquaprime, no need to oatmeal or flour them while soaking
7:42 pm
welki

just before you're ready to eat - melt a couple of big tbl of butter and saute a little diced onion and garlic (or scallions if you like) - when they're softened, dump in the mussels and squeeze a lemon over everything (i use a huge saute pan), cover and let them steam away for 8 min (or until they're all open) - pour into whatever you're serving from, make sure you have a nice crusty bread on hand and it's off to the seahorse races
7:42 pm
welki

the broth is the cat's ass for dipping bread
7:43 pm
welki

(oh, any cover the pan while they're steaming - obvious to me, but maybe not to everyone)
7:43 pm
rururocks

no wine in the sauce?
7:44 pm
MollyL

<---Going to Welki's
7:44 pm
welki

no. i tried it, it interfered with the mussels' taste. for me anyway. for you, i suppose a little couldn't hurt. i've tried beer and white/red wine, dry sherry - even a little overpowers it for me
7:44 pm
welki

personal choice, ru
7:44 pm
rururocks

hmmm
7:44 pm
rururocks

okay
7:45 pm
rururocks

I didn't mean a pinot NOOOOOR
7:45 pm
welki

but i'm also the one who always melts a little herbed butter for lobster and crab and finds it hardened into a nice congealed glob when i'm done
7:45 pm
rururocks

ah
7:46 pm
welki

ohhh, but i did have a lovely sea bass at the very last schmoozy dinner we attended - i LOVE sea bass
7:46 pm
rururocks

me too
7:46 pm
welki

better than trout. better than salmon. better than tunafish on rye
7:46 pm
rururocks

I tend to like most white fish
7:47 pm
welki

i haven't met a fish i didn't like
7:47 pm
welki

and molly, you live in mussel-land - probably get them still squeaking and sending out silk!
7:48 pm
rururocks

...welki obviously hasn't met a great white in the water
7:48 pm
welki

i am a fierce force to reckon with, ru. Orca would get indigestion.
7:49 pm
MollyL

I had some really good mussels in Annapolis once. Lots of garlic butter...mmmmm.
7:49 pm
welki

i really like annapolis - we'd relocate there in a heartbeat if we could
7:50 pm
MollyL

It's a fun little town. Real estate is expensive though.
7:50 pm
welki

then again, i really liked malibu. and bar harbor. and boulder. and .. and .. and..
7:50 pm
rururocks

I like Bar Harbor
7:50 pm
welki

which is why my retirement home is on wheels .. now only to have an opportunity to retire :)
7:51 pm
rururocks

I like British COlumbia area the best
7:51 pm
rururocks

it's so gorgeous there
7:52 pm
welki

but where, ru? wine country? too, too hot there for me in the summer
7:52 pm
rururocks

on the west coast.. or up JOhnstone straits
7:53 pm
welki

we have a babbler, saanichcat, who lives on the coast - now that's beautiful. and salt spring island, where flosey and jillybus live - i would move there in a ny minute
7:54 pm
welki

johnstone straits is probably very expensive - it's close to the city,even if it is across the channel ( i think it's across the channel)
7:55 pm
rururocks

I liked Tofino and Long Beach area on the west coast
7:55 pm
welki

but ru. honestly, when it comes down to brass tacks, it's really what you bring to a place, not the place itself
7:55 pm
welki

i like tofino, too
7:56 pm
welki

my inlaws live in victoria - always nice to drive up the coast when we visit. but last time we were there, we parked the rv right in the middle of town and fly-fished the city lakes - what a hoot!!
7:57 pm
welki

brought my father in law some beauties for the pan :)
7:58 pm
welki

and we can call this portion of the chog, "The Welki and RuRu Show" - we (mostly I) have hogged the chat long enough. *Making room, zipping lips to the delight of the Babble population*

8:04 pm
rururocks

nope... she's stop playing babble
8:04 pm
welki

really? just no time for it?
8:05 pm
rururocks

8:05 pm

8:06 pm

doren knows how to keep an appointment
8:06 pm

were you watching the show, dorens?
8:07 pm
rururocks

bbl
8:07 pm
Dorens

thanks, welk. yes it is very tough. being with my grandkids makes it better, but then again worse in a way. Which show welki? i took the kids to the nutcracker today
8:07 pm
Dorens

i would always keep an appointment with ru. good food , good wine, good company
8:08 pm
welki

the welki and ruru show :)
8:08 pm
Dorens

ah yes.. i did notice it. didn't have much to say, but like your mussels recipe a lot
8:11 pm
welki

will be in your neck of the woods in feb, dorens - new grandbaby on the way
8:12 pm
Dorens

oh great welki. can we try to plan to meet this time??
8:12 pm
Dorens

maybe nrkiii and temple owl too
8:13 pm
welki

i'm hoping - i have vacation time i have to take or lose, so i'm hoping to be there for more than a week this time. would be great if we could get together, maybe with hego, too and owl and peri and EVERYONE! LOL
8:13 pm
welki

yes! nrk!!
8:13 pm
Dorens

as i recall, we had mentioned bridgewater, is that right?
8:14 pm
Dorens

both nrk and i could get there fairly easily
8:14 pm
welki

bridgewater is close to the daughter having the baby - hego is close to the one who lives on the shore
8:14 pm
welki

maybe je could come up, too - we could share a hotel room if we had to (too long for her to drive just for lunch or supper)
8:14 pm
Dorens

i think hego would travel to bridgewater too. maybe. it's not more than a half hour for me or nrk... i think
8:15 pm
welki

because babies are so unpredictable, plans will be last minute - so i'll be happy if anyone can make it
8:15 pm
Dorens

let's try to set up a date in advance, yes?
8:15 pm
welki

it's an hour for hego, i think
8:15 pm
welki

*see below*
8:15 pm
welki

last baby was premature, so hard to tell when this one will make its appearance
8:15 pm
Dorens

ha, cross typing.. ok. we'll just have to wing it then
8:16 pm
welki

excellent - flexibity. the new welki :)
8:16 pm
welki

well, i'm off for now - have a good evening, everyone!

So sorry sciencegeek.
9:00 pm

no worries. I lost bablies before they were born and have still not recovered from that loss
9:02 pm
Bugsaw

My mind is having a hard time letting go of the suffering of these parents because of the season and the age of the kids. They all were "beautiful little kids"
9:06 pm
Minveryork

Bugsaw and sciencegeek, I'm so sorry for your losses. Can't even imagine the feeling that a person goes through after losing a child. I will be going to Newtown to light a candle.
9:07 pm
gemini_J13

light one for all of us who can't get there
9:07 pm
Bugsaw

Thanks Minveryork. How nice of you to travel all that way to provide some sense of comfort for the families.
9:07 pm
Bugsaw

I hope you can light one for all the Babblers who care as well
9:07 pm
Bugsaw

snap gemini!
9:14 pm
Minveryork

I definitely will. I will be buying candles on my way there.
9:16 pm

You probably should get the candles before you get too colse, Min. I suspect that they might be in short supply close to Newtown.
9:20 pm

Oh good idea wht! Thank you! I did not even think of that.
9:28 pm

Glad to help - I certainly needed help. Apparently it's to do with animals and diabetes
9:33 pm

I looked it up and it will never become part of my vocabulary wht
9:34 pm
Lizlin

I can't see that I'd ever have cause to use that word!

You mean Babble doesn't count as a use of the word?

I am down to 5 words left, and I suspect that none of them are words I would ordinarily use in conversation.

9:47 pm

And lastly, va6?

A va 6/30 word is what a baseball player did at home plate
