Happy Birthday, PurpleSkys!

Just caught the Scoreboard for this week, and realised you hadn't had a Birthday thread posted, so I started one for you!

Enjoy your TacoBell birthday lunch - and I hope Darryl is taking you out for dinner tonight, too!

have a wonderful day, Lee

D., do you splurge on your anniversary and take her to Quizno's?

PS, I hope the day brings you a man who knows how to treat a lady on her birthday! If all you wind up with is the same one you've got now, well; Happy Birthday all the same!

by purpleskys

but we don't have a Quizno's here :( and besides, i just love TacoBell, they are pretty darn good up here and I did specifically ask for it :D !

PS. He spoils me more than you can imagine ;) so I think I'll keep the "same one" I have

She gets what she requests.....she requested Taco Bell....

side note: it is a 40 mile round to get this for her....no Taco Bell in Truro :(

I [b]LOVE[/b] their prime rib sub's. I can't get enough of them! (they are a tad expensive though) If I wasn't already going to have seafood for lunch I'd go there.

:) we're actually planning on visiting some friends this evening that we haven't seen in ages (they're getting married next month) to do a little computer work for them. Should be a great time, they have a couple young children too so the kidlets will have fun playing together! I'm thinking bbq'ed steak for supper though, one of my most fave things for Darryl to cook for me :D !

by darryl~

we're going over to a friends place early evening....then probably BBQ something for her.

I know the season varies a bit, but if it were me, I'd be going for lobster.

We havent' gone to Taco Bell for a while, we make better Mexican at home. Our local grocery has the "real" Herdez products from Mexico, so no Pace or Old el paso for us.

Oh and happy Birthday, what are you now, 29?

but that's just our area, there are other areas open but we no longer see the "lobster trucks" parked around town selling live lobster....I'd have to go buy them at the local grocery store or make a couple hour's drive to go get some.

So we usually do lobster for Mother's Day & Father's Day.....then in Nov & Dec we start seeing the "trucks" from the South Shore up here selling them so we manager to grab a few for New Year's or something.

It's scallop season here now but I haven't seen any around....she really like scallops! I'll have to see if I can locate some for her ;)

by jamesrl

We have a family story about them actually.

My father in law was a bit of a gourmet, and one visit, he prepared Coquille St. Jaques, including the authentic scallop shells.

My youngest isn't very fussy and loves seafood like the rest, but for whatever reason wasn't interested in her portion. The rest of us had wolfed down our shares, and we all hungrily looked at her portion, and at each other and back at her portion. It was a little like playing Texas Hold 'em.

So we now have an expression in our family about seeing who gets to scavenge off of someone's plate - are you going to "Coquille St Jaques"?

Lobster is more a Mother's Day thing like Darryl was saying...and he always gets, and cooks, it for me and my mom :) Darryl makes really good tacos too but we don't have a lot of mexican type products up here so they're not quite as good as yours would be....but i have no doubt they would be way better than TB too :D

Edit: and oh, it's 19 ;) although 29 wouldn't be so bad too :D !

by charliespencer

My father sautes them in butter with chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Then we peel and eat them, and lick the dripping spiced butter off our fingers.

by purpleskys

had a friend here with two of her granddaughters not long ago and they brought me chardonnay...woo hoo!

by darryl~

My sister makes really good bacon wrapped scallops...we all get together Dec 26th....it's always a scramble trying to get to them before they're all gone! She makes stuffed mushrooms to go with them....yum!

You're probably only saying this and telling him so as to be polite while secretly rubbing your hands together and saying "Ohhh, ye-eah!" ]:)

'BBQ' is what you do, not what you eat. Here in the South, it's referred to as 'grilling.'

The difference takes some getting used to...

by charliespencer

In the South, cooking on the grill is 'grilling'. 'BBQ' here is a method of slow roasting a pig for several hours, preferably over smokey wood; or the resultant shredded meat. Debates over the type of base ingredient for sauce (ketchup, tomato (which isn't the same as ketchup), mustard, vinegar and pepper, or mayonnaise) (and sauce is mandatory) makes the Tea Party / NAACP dispute look like a Tigger-GG hug fest.

by darryl~

I really didn't understand what all that was about....

Your BBQ is what we would refer to as a BBQ "pit" I think.
