As I
booked into a hotel, I said to the receptionist, "I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled."

"No," she said, "It's regular porn, you sick bastard."

King Crab Legs for Valentines Day

 

i aint no fancy
chef....but i do like to cook, and my wife and i spend entirely too much time
watching  the food channel. especially Good Eats with alton brown. and from there comes my favorite
way to reheat crab legs...my favorite.

 

Buy a 2#
package, from me of course, take it our of the bag and submerse the legs in
cold water to thaw.....maybe  15 minutes or so. wrap two 1 pound packages
in wet paper towels and then wrap each in cling wrap (saran, or whatever) 
cook each package for 2 minutes on high in the MICROWAVE. done, finished, no
messy steaming or boiling.. It works.

do not unwrap
until you are ready to eat. They will stay warm for 15 minutes.

 

Ghee is a fancy
name for melted butter. put two sticks of butter in a sauce pan, melt over medium
heat, then bring to a boil. Remove from heat and strain and return butter to
sauce pan and warm again. Beautiful color and taste for you crab legs.

party. Bailey’s will be open as usual, from 7:00 – 2:00.

 

Thanks for coming out for our
First Tuesday Fundraiser, supporting Operation
School Bell
(part of the Assistance League of Omaha).
Paul Anderson (vocals and keyboard), 
Galen Prince (drums) and yours truly (guitar) had a blast. Like I always
say; the more you drink, the better we sound! Paul was fighting off a tough
cold and cough, but still did a bang up job. Galen was terrific as always.
Me…..well, they even made ME sound like I almost knew what I was doing, so
thanks, gents!

The
orchestra conductor had been having problems with the bassists; they were the
least professional of his musicians.  It was the last performance of the
season, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which required extra effort from the bassists
at the end.  Earlier that evening, he had found them celebrating a
birthday by passing around a bottle.

 

Then, as he
was about to cue the bassists, he knocked over his music stand.  The sheet
music scattered.

 

So he stood
in front of his orchestra, his worst fear realized:

 

It was the
bottom of the 9th, no score, and the bassists were loaded.

  Have you ever wondered what the difference is
between Grandmothers & Grandfathers? Well, here it is:

A
man, who worked away from home all week, always made a special effort with his
family on the weekends. Every Sunday morning he would take his 7-year old
Granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some bonding time. Just he and his
Granddaughter.

 

 

 One particular Sunday however, he had a bad
cold and really didn't feel like being up at all.

 

 

  Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said
that she would take their granddaughter out. When they returned, the little
girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather.

 

 

 'Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?'

 

 

  'Oh yes, Papa' the girl replied, and do you
know what? We didn't see a single idiot, moron, dip sh*t or horse's ass any
where we went today!'

 

 

 
Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it....

Things I Learned in the
South

 

A possum is a flat animal
that sleeps in the middle of the road.

 

 

 

There are 5,000 types of
snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.

 

 

 

There are 10,000 types of
spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South, plus a couple no one’s seen
before.

 

 

 

If it grows, it’ll stick ya.
If it crawls, it'll bite cha.

 

 

 

‘Onced’ and ‘Twiced’ are
words.

 

 

 

It is not a shopping cart,
it is a buggy!

 

 

 

‘Jaw-P’? means ‘Did ya’ll go
to the bathroom’?

 

 

 

People actually grow and eat
okra.

 

 

 

‘Fixinto’ is one word. It
means ‘I’m fixing to do that’.

 

 

 

There is no such thing as
‘lunch’. There is only dinner and then there is supper.

 

 

 

Iced tea is appropriate for
all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea
with our sugar.

 

 

 

Backwards and forwards means
‘I know everything about you’.

 

 

 

The word ‘jeet’ is actually
a phrase meaning ‘Did you eat?

 

 

 

You don’t have to wear a
watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is, you work until you’re done or
it’s too dark to see.

 

 

 

You don’t PUSH buttons, you
MASH ‘em.

 

 

 

‘No, Jew?’ is a common
response to the question, ‘Did you bring any beer?’

 

 

 

You measure distance in
minutes.

 

 

 

You switch from heat to A/C
in the same day.

 

 

 

All the festivals across the
state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, or animal.

 

 

 

You know what a ‘DAWG’ is.

 

 

 

You carry jumper cables in
your car - for your OWN car.

 

 

 

You only own five spices:
salt, pepper, Tony’s, Tabasco
and ketchup.

 

 

 

The local papers cover
national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local high
school sports and motor sports, and gossip.

 

 

 

You think that the first day
of deer season is a national holiday.

 

 

 

You find 100 degrees
Fahrenheit ‘a bit warm’.

 

 

 

You know all four seasons:
Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

 

 

 

Going to Wal-Mart is a
favorite pastime known as ‘goin’ Wal-Martin’ or ‘off to Wally World’.

 

 

 

You describe the first cool
snap (below 70 degrees) as good chicken stew weather.

 

 

 

Fried catfish is the other
white meat.

 

 

 

We don't need no dang
Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive dag-nabbit.

 

 

 

You understand these jokes
and forward them to your Southern friends and those who just wish they were
from the SOUTH.

Lobster Tail
with Paprika Butter

 

Lobster Tails, about ¾ lb per person,
if main course

Butter – ¼ stick per person

Garlic, crushed 1/32 of a teaspoon!

Paprika

 

Thaw lobster tails overnight in the refrigerator, or, if
necessary, under cool running water. By the way, for best flavor and texture,
thawing slowly is the way to go (overnight).

 

Preheat broiler or grill to medium/high. In a small bowl,
melt 2 teaspoons butter, and stir in a tiny bit of garlic, and a dash of
paprika. In another small bowl, melt the rest of the butter, and stir in more
garlic and paprika [this is for dipping the lobster, but the flavors will marry
if you do this in advance].

 

Split
tails completely in two for easiest cooking and eating. Or cut the back down to
the last segment, with kitchen shears, and pull up the meat. Either way is
fine.

 

Brush exposed lobster meat with the butter mix, then place
on oiled, pre-heated grill. Start with meat side down, cook for about 2
minutes, and then rotate 90 degrees. This makes a nice ‘hatch’ mark on the
lobster. Looks great. After another 2 minutes, flip them over so that the shell
side is down. Continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Don’t be afraid
to cut into one to see if it is cooked through [clear looking meat when raw,
solid looking when cooked].
