Although I do really enjoy vacationing up North on occasion. We been considering visiting the New England area. We would love to visit the Mayflower, Old Ironside the Plymouth Colony etc. A couple of thinks I have learned to love in the South, Crappie, Catfish, BBQ pork with coleslaw, Brisket etc. Ok - please educate me - what’s Crappie?

Chris and Donna were in total disbelief when grown adults started removing bras, pants and sharing whatever items were needed for a particular round. We never laughed so hard. I always LOVE seeing people experience The Quest for the first time! When I describe it to people, I tell them it's a weird combination of a scavenger hunt, the game show Let's Make A Deal, and a burlesque show. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hot oatmeal has to have brown sugar or maple syrup, but certainly no raisins. For me, grits have to be savory, not sweet -- butter, salt/pepper, cheese, etc. Always grosses me out to see people put sugar or syrup on their grits. Oatmeal, on the other hand, has to be sweet, not savory. And yes, "instant grits" are from the Devil himself. Blech. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 32°F with ice on my car windscreen at 7am but it is now sunny and 42°F at 09.03am.

The sauce should be a more creamy orange pink. I don’t know what they do to make it look like a brown sauce but it’s not good. Chops not good. What it should look like. Exactly!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by MPLP, you are referring to the "Military Parental Leave Program", I do not recall it being mentioned specifically, but parts of this book would help any reader clearly understand many of the benefits of such a program. If by MPLP, you are referring to the "More Product, Less Process" approach, then, nope, not at all 😉 dp Edited April 3, 2023 by dpostman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas station sushi, grits from unknown sources, and Texmex not in Texas. 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted April 3, 2023 #89666 Share Posted April 3, 2023 We had grits once or twice on our cruise a couple of weeks ago on Celebrity, the one thing that must be avoided on Celebrity is there biscuits and gravy, biscuits are as hard as a hockey puck. Also remember going to a restaurant down here and ordering pastrami and getting it with lettuce and tomatoes, yuck. Less than two months we will have real pizza, pastrami on rye and Italian food in New York City then great Buffalo wings and beef on wick in Buffalo area . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
