It's a little early for armagnac for me, but I'll be back after work..

I once new a Swiss engineer who started each day at 7 am with a little schnapps - apart from that he was the picture of sobriety and a very good engineer

Yeah Cav... what the hell is Head Cheese?

Btw, have you ever sandwiched a thin layer of PepperJack cheese between hashbrowns and 3 over medium? Holy crap is that good!

Sounds yummy, here stop hogging it now, share it around

"HOG'S-HEAD" CHEESE




1 pig's head
4 pig's feet
2 pig's ears
2 med. size onions, whole
1 bunch celery, including leafy tops
2 bay leaves
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. salt
1 c. vinegar

Place pig's head, feet and ears in large, deep pot, and add water to cover. Add all seasonings except vinegar; cover pot and boil over low flame 2-3 hours until meat leaves bone. Mince meat coarsely; arrange on mold or pan. Add vinegar to juice remaining in pot. Pour this liquid over meat in mold; refrigerate until mold has set, or congealed. When cold, slice and serve.

yuk-pass the veg please

well, no thanks. I thought that this someting else. <withdraw the order>

Aww, come on people, it's great with strong mustard, pickles or kim chee.

Now what am I going to do with all these heads? Manuel, sweep up the heads, and it's back to business as usual. <sigh>

Sell them as novelty hats? It's the next stage up from the cheesehead phenomenon.

That sounds like a good idea to me. cav, what about you?

Sounds great actually. I can even wrap them in tinfoil swans.

You know, we three should set up an enterprise, just for the hell of it. Cackula is an idea and a half just going wasted.

The college football season is almost underway. The Arkansas Razorbacks(boarhogs) might be interested in your hogsheads...

Thanks for the notice, Panz !

(What is the big attraction, though, to novelty headgear? I've never understood it.)

manoman I need a beer. Or should I get wine? Maybe gin....? What say ye?

Drom, you have to get in the stands with 80,000 cheering Packer fans to feel the headgear magnetism. My favorite is the cap that holds two cans of beer and a plastic tube winds down to your mouth so you can get knockered hands free. Maybe someday I'll escort you to an an NFL game...yes that would be a fantastic experience.

or scotch wiskey, or something else? Difficult to decide, well? :-)

I'll come with you, Panz, when I'm over doing my research work down in South America.... but no headgear. I'm the sort of girl who draws the line at that. I don't believe that there is anything good that's plastic and can be put on one's head.

I'm enjoying this Meyers Rum and Grapefruit that Manuel whipped up. The rum destroys the brain cells and the grapefruit juice rejuvenates them. A perfect ying-yang balance.

Oh, and the parasol is so cute.
