Well Stephen ....I just gained ten pounds reading the menu ! the movies are excellent . It has been a while since I last seem them . I'll be wearing my cowgirl hat for this one with side arm of course !

Be hold , the pail the horse . The woman who sits in the sattle is death herself and where she goes men follow !!!!

Ha..Ha.. Ha.. I gotta remember that one to tell hubby when he gives me a hard time...

Well Terri. I'd rather follow Death than meet her. Could go on for quite a while really...

It's a good job that this cafe food has absolutly no cholestrol, and is completely non fattening.
Terri, HMS Scarab, for that was she, took 3 years to build and was the third ship I built at that time. When you build something like that it isn't one model, but a series of small models with a theme, joined together, like building a Jasta of DVIIs.
Film tonight should be The Sand Pebbles then you can see something of the life of these old ships, with the added bonus of Steve McQueen for the ladies.
Food tonight will be WonTon Soup, choice of Cha Siu Chow Mein, Kung Po Chicken, Mushroom FooYung, Beef with Spring Onions and Ginger. Lychees, Green Tea. Then 2 hours later......

Woohoo! I haven't had real Chinese since I left Luoyang before christmas 2006. Got sticks, or should I bring? I'll bring Moutai anyway!

Tony

Will you be making this your self Andrew ? Boy this is making my mouth water .
Maybe Stephen and you can have a cook off . I'm sure Tony would love to be one of the judges ! as well as Penny and Andy , might even have Rowan in as well . Jan will be there with fork and knife in hand , chop sticks in back pocket .

Buhuhuhu. My battallion had a training weekend, serving chicken stew with rice at sunday lunch, and I didn't have any sticks in my vest Buhuhuhu.

But, I'd love to be judge on chinese. Frankly, the weirdest snack i come to like is pigs snout. A bit like bacon, but thicker and.... heyyyy....don't go pukin' in Terris new curtains....

Tony (Big nosed western devil)

Mmm.... Smells....I mean sounds like a plan to me.

Chinese style and barbeque are the only ways I can cook, but Chinese is great if I have time to do the prep work. As the weather gets better I'll be out there and barbeque trout with almonds,mushrooms, fried rice and a glass (or two) of Pinot Grigio, a Waldorf salad and maybe a Lemon cheesecake, a few friends on a warm night, heaven.

Well Andrew that sounds like it would loads of fun .
When our weather gets better , when the snow is finally gone and leaves start to come out on the trees , flowers starting to bloom and all the little critters have something to look forward to . Will be doing the same . To start with , baby back ribs marinated in red wine for three days with apricots . Home made BQ sauce with extra pepper . Think cut T-bone , Cajun jerk chicken that will leave your month wanting more . and for the less brave regular burgers and hot dogs . fresh garden salad ( miss winkle won't mind us raiding her garden as long as we leave beer for her ) . Mustard potato salad , mac salad and old fashion coleslaw . Corn on the cob with dill done on the BBQ with roast green peppers stuff with rice and cream cheese and lemon zest . Home made pork and beans ( with pork in it ) served cold . For dessert ..............there we be ice cream , cheese cake and double chocolate cake , fresh fruit on the side for those who are watching their waist line .

Now for the drinks , beer , beer and more beer , rum , whiskey , vodka and what ever you bring with you .

Can't wait....

Todays lunch and dinner will be rudimentary since you're all invited to the racetrack for the Swedish Championship in supermoto. Sun is shining, dust is flying and the whole scene is covered in the noise of starting engines, revving engines, coughing engines, clinging spanners and cursing mechanics. Tables and chairs are a bit flimsy I'm afraid, but at these places it's function before looks, if even there's function.

There will be hotdog lunch after first practice. Mustard, ketchup, roasted onions and shrimp-goo to go with that. No beer during the day, ladies and gents. This is championship racing! Get yourself a coke or apple lemonade, and bite it. Dinner will be served after the last qualification. Sun will set nicely, you will be able to use your ears again and the roosters in leather will cock about with the psychic race. There will be thai wok, cooked on a camping stove, in a turned upside down lamp from Ikea. Then racing is over for today, so bring out the crates and join in around the table and listen to the general lying.

HEY, who started that bike? Shut it off you....stupid person! We're chewing the fat around here! (But didn't it sound reeeaallly mean, that bike. Keep your eyes open for him tomorrow)

Come saturday night, we'll know who's the man of the day. Hope it's my guy...

Tony

A day off racing .........................cool !

For the evening meal I thought we might do a breakfast thing.

4 egg omlets with allllllll the fixins. Ham, chees, peppers, (onions for theose who like them.) fresh cut tomatoes, steak chicken, refried beans (as a sort of paste) flour tortillas, Louisianna hot sauce by the bottle.

Deep fried bread with honey and various fruit & berry type jams & jellies. Hot croissants , Texas toast and fresh butter. There is also cream cheese Danishes. Hotcakes and waffles.

Fresh fruit bananas, straw berries, blue and black and rasberries. Heavy cream will be avilable.

Oat, corn and barley based organic cereals.

Juices, milk and coffee of course.

The selected movies this weekend are a bit unusual.

The Shadow with Alex Baldwin, Sleepy Hallow ( a favorite) with Johnny Depp, Beetljuice (with another Baldwin bro.)

Sounds great, Stephen! I put some jams and perserves in the cabinet above the bar. We can use them for the bagles, toast, and things.....

A continental breakfast for the evening meal couldn't be better , nice change from all the spicy foods smoothered in fine sauces of the gods .

Nothing wrong with watching the Bladwins at all . but I just have to add The Hunt for Red October . Sorry but it's one of my favorites .

Might have to out that stuff under lock and key Penny , not so much for the guy's but from me , just something about jam !

Fine choice of films there with Beetlejuice a firm favourite round here. Red October also good with the Scots Russian in charge. I love the line about moving to Montana to raise rabbits and buy a SUV. Always though Alec Baldwin should have kept the Jack Ryan role in the other Clancy films, Ford is OK but he is still Indiana Jones to me. Nice small part for James Earl Jones as well.

Well I have to thank you everybody for cheering at the races Two wins and a third place out of three heats ain't bad for a newly developed engine.

Champagne and cubans to everybody and if I look closely I think I can find one more dried out hotdog. Hotdog anybody?

Tony

Yeah it was a lot fun and a great way to spend the weekend . Lots of cars to snap pic's of and great people . Will have to pass on the last dried up beyond help hotdog , just don't eat them at all . No process meat or red meat for this girl .

The movies were a fantastic njght cap after spending the day at the races with more heart warming food . Man, Stephen buts on that white hat in the kitchen and magic happens .

Happy Cinco Di Mayo everyone.... Coronas all around!!

Cheers Penny

Funny how things happen, I mentioned the film The Sand Pebbles the other week and hey presto here it is on Sky tonight. Pretty good for it's age.
