Pretty much says it all right there… Have a pork rind or two for me! Happy holidaze…
mmm… pork!
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa! Ahhh, you almost make me miss the land of dixie. That and the fact that it’s 28 degrees in Philly today. See ya soon enough though. Speaking of, give a ring . . .
cody! is my cousin. for reals.
I went to college in the South just for sweet tea (brewed of course, not Nestea garbage), I kid you not.
You forgot Bubba.
It was nine in Cleveland yesterday. At least you vacation in warmer places. I hope Zed and Bobby are treatin’ yins’ right. though.
Hmmm, my question about dungeness seems to have vanished, so I’ll repeat it. What is it?
Unless Vague is referring to something completely different, dungeness is a type of crab (at least on the east coast) that comes to your table in a small crane. Seriously, they’re the size of small dogs. Yummy though, although you have to work for your food.
O– I have a feeling you might know exactly what I am talking about re Zembla. (Shhh…)
HA– Indeed. I have yet to go eat BBQ though. Soon.
C– Try not to freeze to death! I wish it were colder here, though. Forecast for today in K-town is a high of 46…high tomorrow is 54!! What the hell?
KWH– Aha! See, people, I am not making this up. I went to school with a Dixie, too.
J– It would be worth it. My dad calls iced tea “the table wine of the south.”
P– Bubba! Of course! To accompany Scooter, there’s always Cooter, Skeeter, Cletus, etc.
J– You must also try not to freeze to death! But I bet at least you are getting snow. If it doesn’t snow here, this will be the first year in…oh…six at least.
HB– huh. I promise I did not delete you! Typepad is a bitch. Sadly, it is not my bitch. And see C. about the dungeness–she is right. It is a very yummy crab. I went “crabbin’” (as they say) for dungeness a while back. It’s an extremely laid back sort of fishing. You just sit on the dock and drink beer, essentially, then have yourself a big crab boil after. (I already know what dirty jokes you are thinking, here, HB, so don’t even!)
C– That is big! The ones we caught out here were smaller, but really really good.
Dungeness is also a strange town in South-East England famous for its nuclear power station and Derek Jarman’s garden. I imagine that any crabs caught nearby have three pincers, which can only be a good thing.
Mmm…nuke-yoo-lar.
