Labor Day with Roger

[Roger W. Norman]

I need some feedback here because it's going to take some work and I don't
see any reason to bust my butt if people aren't coming over.

However, here's a mental taste of the menu I'm working on

Cola BBQ'd Top Round Roast
Smoked Pork Butt
Southwestern Grilled Chicken
Pepper Sauteed Shrimp
My Special Crab Stuffed Mushroom Caps
Teriyaki Steak
Pepper Stuffed Peppers

All of these are my recipes, so I won't give them out until after the party,
but hey, they are killer, even if I say so myself! <g>

Of course, there will be plenty of small farm grown Silver Queen corn,
tomotoes, and green beans. I might even be intimidated into doing some of
my pepper fried squash.

RSVP, if you don't mind, or even if you do. I need to know numbers of
people attending to buy adequate food, but if it comes down to it, probably
I'll have plenty for a group less than 25 with just the basics of the
recipes I've mentioned. All that decide to come are welcome to bring their
significant others, although I'm not playing any role other than host and
cook, and maybe with luck, musician. If children attend then it's NOT a
whole village thing (at least on my part). I have dogs (2) and cats (4), of
which only one cat is allowed out (don't know how that happened, but it did)
and the other cats are not. The pool can be dangerous if adults aren't
paying attention, so I don't want children under 12 in the pool without an
adult present on the deck (that doesn't mean a 12 year old gets to take over
the responsibility). I will lock my woodshop and my utility shed, just in
case. Only one gate will be open and I'm going to set up a weight to close
that one so the dogs don't get out (hopefully). Peope do NOT come to the
front door, but the right side (4') gate. Refrigeration and coolers will be
available for beverages or your choice, but if children that might attend
have ANY allergies to certain foods I need to know now. That goes for any
adults.

I will provide basic colas, iced tea, coffe, etc., but I, again, am not
taking the responsibility for providing anyone with alcoholic beverages.
That's definitely a "bring your own", and I reserve the right to curtail
anyone's driving if I feel that they can't. I may not have a lot of
comfortable space, but if one's drunk, they why would they care? Besides, I
fix a mean breakfast, too! <g>

Oh, and bring your swim gear and towels. It may not be a true swimming pool
in the sense of only being a 15' X 24' above ground, but it's fun and with
the new patio, you're still able to be part of the crowd.

You have to set your traps very early in the morning.

In my experience, it takes stealth and fortitude to snare tofu. An you
never know what type of tofu you might get.

But having been to the tofu institude of cooking, I'm pretty sure that if
some ugly tofu pops their head up during the time to cook, we'll be cooking
tofu too.

However, we won't be cooking my 9 year old tortoise shell cat. I just like
her too much.

I'll bring some free-range tofu.

It's skinning them that's the hard part.

<<But having been to the tofu institude of cooking, I'm pretty sure that if

Just don't use too large a caliber weapon to bring them down.

You like your tortoise shell cat? Ours is a grumpy schizoid bitch who has
territorial issues with our other cats, (one of whom is named Tofu.) If you
need a matched pair of tortoise shells, I'll personally escort ours to your cat
ranch.

That's the tastiest tofu there is.

Jesus, where in the hell do you live? That might be worth a
hitchike from CA.

Actually, I have two, too. One, however is a short hair, so some people
don't think she qualifies. She's got the right colors.

Once killed the skin has no cohesiveness unless fried to a fare-thee-well.

It's the tilapia of the Leguminosae. You need to cook it in something that
can confer some flavor to it. This can be difficult when grilling, so use
an extra thick BBQ sauce.

Remember, boys and girls. Keep track of the hunting season and make sure
you don't discharge a firearm within the city limit of any city which
forbids this. That may well be all of them. Sometimes you must also
maintain a quarter mile distance (or more) from a habitation or occupied
facility. This makes stalking and nabbing of Tofu somewhat difficult.
Fortunately if you are brave and clever, it can be done with a net.

I cannot offer any cat suggestions, since my bird is the one with territory
issues here. I will say that the bird is not available for the BBQ, but if
I can make it I'll surely bring him home some chicken.

I just had some fried tofu tonight in San Francisco that was the best I've had
outside of Japan.

Where? Perhaps an AES gathering should be held there.

Actually, I wouldn't fry tofu, I'd drop kick it into the next yard and let
them hassle with it. Next to rice cakes (nothing about taste or texture in
this statement), I find it about the least usable example of food, although
I know billions of people eat it. But I'd eat it before I'd try puffer
fish! <g>

Kiki, on 9th Avenue, a block south of the park, between Lincoln & Irving, in
the Inner Sunset district. It's new & has a very happening sushi menu.

You just haven't made the right connection with tofu yet. It's a very subtle
item. You go to it, it doesn't come to you.

Be the tofu!
