I'm a little confused, Kelly. Is it RooK who resembles me, or the annoying neighbor? Lord knows I've annoyed RooK enough in the past....

RooK had grown a beard and that Frank Zappa hair you used to have.Never saw the annoying neighbors.

Hey there,
I've mentioned before in various oblique ways that I'm heading to the USA, but I thought it was time to say it explicitly here.
Let's see: next week it's the Inland Empire. Then Chicago.
Then after a Canadian excursion, June will be Vermont, New Hampshire, Boston and New York.
July will be Washington DC to start, then another brief Canadian gap followed by Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.
Then Hawaii in early August to round things off.
Yes, I'm exhausted already...

(perks up!) Inland Empire, you say? California Inland Empire?
There are a few of us out here, but most have gone low-key on the Ship. But others might be able to come from L.A. or San Diego.
Details!

Murrieta, specifically. Staying with friends. Who've just told me I'll be all alone on the evening of May 18, as they have a party to go to in Orange County. This may be useful information!

Erm. I'm booked in Riverside at 7:30PM. My dad takes me to the local symphony on season tickets and this is the last concert of the season. The late morning or the afternoon 'til 5PM would work for me (and anyone else?) I quite understand if your friends are entertaining you the rest of the day until they leave for Orange County.
And certainly the NoCal Shippers will show you a good time.

Er. Um. I think they said they were leaving around 3pm...
I don't know. Thought it was worth throwing that out there as a possible time. It's all complicated by my limited grasp of the local geography (specifically, distances) and a lack of easy self-transportation (not planning on driving in that first week, I'll not have adjusted to the RHS yet).

I'm very impressed that you know of the Inland Empire. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Okay. I could come for you at, say, 3:00 in Murietta and pick you up from your friends' place. We could go for a nosh, I'd drop you back at your home-away-from-home (you'll have a key?), and leave for Riverside at about 5:30 (it's about 50 to 60 mins to get there). I'd really enjoy meeting you, but unless others could meet us there (anyone? anyone?), it would be a short meet for two.
Your call.

Ahh, but it's the preparation and presentation that make the difference! Imagine, if you will, slightly gritty spaghetti-esque packets of protein, lightly sauteed in peanut oil. Toss in a handful of toasted almonds, and a dash of your favorite hot sauce. A side of fresh asparagus, steamed with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and freshly baked cornbread round out the meal. And for dessert, a warm mango cobbler topped with homemade vanilla ice cream. We're talking good Southern fixins!

Preach it.
'Round about here, they think barbecue is pulled pork with vinegar-based sauce and cole slaw on top. Which isn't bad, once you give it a bit of a chance, but it's not dry-rubbed oak/hickory smoked pigsicles with a whole basket of fried okra and Shiner Bock. Which is probably why I'm glad for Hill Country Barbecue, its actual NYC roots be durned. No okra, the ribs are a bit...foreign, and there's a sad but total lack of barbecued bologna or hot links, but at least there's Shiner (and chewy lean brisket).
That said, blue crabs. Lots and lots of blue crabs. Forget JJ's worms, bring forth the crustaceans! Let's split some exoskeletons!

- Somebody in the western plains should do prairie oysters.
- We in the Midwest can have a casserole-off. Lutherans and Methodists receive a handicap.
- There would have to be an entire bracket for barbecue variations.

- In the Dairy Death Match, Wisconsin vs. Vermont.

First, the aftermath of the Judgment of Paris, especially thirty years later. UBB is complaining about the link having a parentheses, so I'll fix it when I'm not trying to rush off to work.
Second, contrary to whatever people north of the Mason-Dixon line or south of the Equator think, a cookout is not barbecue. You don't grill meat for barbecue, you smoke it, starting at three in the morning if you want even a snowball's chance of it being ready in time for dinner. I'm sure our Antipodian friends in Australia and South Africa know a think or five about how to wield the tongs, but true, honest-to-God barbecue is an entirely different beast.
3. Comet, my Chincoteague oysters, blue crabs, grilled rockfish and smoked eels could...well, if not beat whatever you've got, at least get some grudging respect, especially once the Flying Dog and Oliver kegs got involved. Which, having seen yer crabs, is something.

It should be noted at this point that Australians have been incredibly successful in recent years at selling wine to the French. Much to the horror of some French.

Did you scream? I screamed (in terror) last week when one of the dear elderly ladies of the congo took me and the church secretary out to lunch. I thought we were going to die. I will never ever let her drive me anywhere ever again. Never.
Oh, and barbeque. I'll put my smoked ribs and smoked turkey against anyone, anywhere. It's that good.

respect. We don't do those; nor do we have lobster, which I do like if I can get fresh.
I'm comfortable with the claim, however, that our dungies beat the NoCal ones: I've had both. Those who know tell me it's the freezing cold waters that do it- the crab butter is more savory. (something like that)
I also claim the best salmon in the world (yes, I've tasted others. Sorry, Ireland- not even close) and our halibut is the True Ambrosia™. You haven't lived until you've put a piece in your mouth and been transported.
JB- YES! NM chile is the best! I'm always trying to bribe the family into shipping me bales of green. It's worth it for the smell of the roast alone.

Unrelated to the lovely food talk:
1) I watched Chasee#2 graduate tonight. So hard won! So deserved! I'm exhausted and silly-nostalgic tonight. *sigh* what a beautiful tradition this is.
2) i'm most assuredly NOT sappy about the weather. This shit is ridiculous. Any warm shippies accepting refugees to your couches? I'm tidy and make great coffee.
Grumble.

Sadly I'm heading off to Blighty or you'd be very welcome here - though you might find it a tad warm for your taste! This is the time of year when even the locals moan about the heat!
eta: congratulations to Chasee#2! Well done, Sir.
