WTF? Why would anyone ever buy it then save for stocking some non-perishable emergency supplies or something?? :?

I'll have mine rare please. :D I should dust off my grill and do some cooking.Next time I go to the beer store I'll grab a steak.Can't grill without a cold beer.Once my corn comes off I'll really do some grilling.I pull the shucks back,remove silk,then I smear with a mix of butter and peanut butter and a little salt,pull the shucks back and tie them with a piece of the shuck.Sounds weird,but it's really good.Where I live I can build a fire in the yard,so I like to do that,then cook over the coals when they have died down.Maybe some squash and pepper from the garden on kabobs.Yum.

I infuse lard with onion and soak big chuck of hickory in it. I throw the hickory in the fire and the smoke is a combination of the wood, lard, and onion.

I live in Arizona. So, I keep a stock of Slim Fast as survival food. It stores well, contains water and nutrition, and you can carry a bunch. Four cans will get you through a day.

Never thought of Slim fast as survival food,but it would work.Tastes better than Spam anyway. :D I bet ensure would also be a good choice,I've seen people live off that in nursing homes forever.
I have a dead apple tree that I plan on cutting down,applewood smoked food is awesome.I also like to skewer chicken with rosemary.
Now I have to go to bed hungry,maybe I will dream of BBQ.

Hmm, I could see how that could be good, I'd probably try and figure out a way to add bacon to it though. I like to do my grilled corn Mexican style, slathering it with a garlic-chile-lime-cilantro mayo and then rolling it in shredded Parmesan, pretty hard to beat.

LOL....I'm glad this isn't an "old man Irish bar" like we used to have in New York City.

Especially in Queens, there used to be these places, with names like Shamrock, that used to have one main bar in the middle of the place, with a few booths off to the side. There would, invariably, be one drunk old man sleeping in one of the booths. The customers were mainly old men, especially before 5PM. There might be a few toothless women there as well--probably not, though. There would be a small, black and white TV blaring. There would be no music emanating from the jukebox. Cigarette smoke would be wafting in curlicue designs, in interaction with the dim light.

Exactly the kind of place where Charles Bukowski used to hang out.

^^ :D Remember reading a story he wrote about getting his drivers liscense renewed.I saw a bar in Laramie,WY that was white cinder block and painted on it free style in black runny paint was Sin's Saloon.I wanted to check it out but the ex was stuffy about it.A friend told me about one in saw in OK,,it was a old wood building that had a definite slant to it from the wind.You just know the beer in that place would be ice cold.I used to go to the Juke joint when I lived down io SoArk,it was way safer and friendlier than the biker bar.
My bio mom used to take me to bars when I was little,I could drink all the Shirley Temples I could hold,went to several on the MO/AR state line.She also took me to one in Nuevo Laredo,it was nicer than the ones I saw in MO.She tried to take me to the bullfights,but thank goodness they didn't happen on the day we went.

Well....at least people on this site are sober!

I'll have to put two quarters in the jukebox, and play an old-time blues number.

I wish they had the Abbott and Costello scene about both of them ordering oyster stew at a restaurant.

my late husbands' step mother told me that when she was a little girl, that she was in the hospital for something and "died."It was a little while after she died that she suddenly came back to life. It made the national news. She received cards and stuffed animals from all over the country, and Abbott and Costello visited her in the hopital....but I don;t think they brought any oyster stew :cry:
