St. Patrick's Day Celebration

We had a lovely time on Tuesday.  Unfortunately, we failed to take many pictures.

When Chris arrived, he and Dom headed to Bogalusa for my Baking Powder, and swung by Dennis' house to shoot turtles.  

Joe arrived a few hours later and hung out with me as I was cooking.

I baked my traditional Soda Bread, Oat Farls, Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes and Carrots.  For dessert we drank Baileys and Jameson's Irish Whisky on the rocks.

All 6 of us had a great time.  Next year, MORE PICS!

Super Bowl Sunday

Well, the whole gang was here.  Wendy, Bubby, Dennis, Cheryl and Chris.

Wendy, Bubby and Chris spent the night.

I baked our annual Country Ham (gift from pal Goldie in KY).  Also made Balsamic Vinegar Deviled Eggs, Garlic Deviled Eggs and my "loaded stuffed potato" Potato Salad with Mayo, Sour Cream, Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Green Onions and Bacon.  Had a couple different breads and cheeses for the sandwiches.  (We got into the crispy skin before I took a picture...ab fab!)

Wendy brought over a Cheese Plate.  Cheryl brought over a bottle of Patron Cafe.  Chris brought over a Bavarian Cream King Cake.

Between the seven of us, we figured out how to do a Super Bowl Pool....we were like kindergartners!

As usual, we had a grand time!

CLAMBAKE 2014

Our Clambake this year was a great success.  We all had big fun.

Joe and Ping brought a bottle of the new Jaegermeister Spice.  Chris brought a bottle of Cake Pinnacle Vodka.

The beer and booze flowed all day and night.

This year we ordered 300 Littleneck Clams.  In the clam steamer, we had the clams, leg quarters, sweet potatoes and sweet corn.

Meanwhile, Dom and Ping manned the grill with garlic smoked sausage and bbq chicken.

During halftime of our late Saints game, we moved outside for fireworks and a bonfire.  (Ping is a pyro!).

Later that evening, Ping worked her magic on us, giving massages.  I highly recommend her massage parlor in Pensacola.  She’s in the process of opening a second.  Ping has been in this country for only 4 years, and she’s already a citizen, as well as a business owner.  Joe’s “child bride” is something else.  We’re very proud of her.

When the boys woke up the next day, they found that our fireworks had started a fire in our woods.  Came within about 10 feet of Dom’s truck and a 5 gallon can of gas.

Dom spent all day soaking it. He was planning on bumming around with Chris all day, but was afraid to leave the house.
