Fellow "deletees"

If we were all sitting together having coffee and cookies, this conversation would be quick.  How long would it take for each of us speak our posts from this thread in a conversation -- not long.  It just seems to drag on in this medium.

Medigal, I just C&Ped them into my little box.  No good memory...LOL

this is kind of like Sarah Palin's facebook page.

wow, i've just been a lurker for the most part starting back in the "healthcare" days.  This is incredible what's going on in this thread.  I can't believe so much has been deleted.  geesh. I have to give Melissa credit, she's dealt with a lot of crazies on this board.  anyone remember the entire watson thing? (may she rest in peace)  I just wish we had a better way of dealing with all of it.  I do agree, if someone doesn't agree, they should just go elsewhere.  shirley is correct, we do need to be sure of facts.  I know I was accused of being a troll at one point early on in my time on bco. LOL.

KK, I just had a toasted frozen blueberry waffle with a ton of vanilla ice cream on it.

I want Pickled Pigs Feet and LOTS of them and a bowl of stewed Tripe like only my mom can cook! However she'll have to send it to me from Heaven cause that's where she is wondering what the heck is going on down on Earth!

BTW,  I have to admit, I don't think this time it is any one on here deleting us cause most of them say "deleted by Moderators".  I think the other poster who said she thought Melissa saw the one post and just scooped everyone else up who got involved with it.  Sounds good to me.  Case closed!

OMG -- mucilage -- that sounds like snot!  Peas, beans, and carrots for me please. 

Sandy introduced me to the delightful term, "mucilage."  Thanks, Sandy!

Lewing:  You really for truly have enough money to make GUMBO!?  The real kind with okra, shrimp, crabs!!!  That costs a fortune nowadays! I stopped making it when shrimp went over 39 cents a pound!  Ok so now you know how OLD I am and also POVERTY ridden too!!  Seriously, Gumbo is very expensive to make if done like we do it in the South.  Please think of me while you are in ectasy eating it.  You do pour it over rice don't you?  I have to have rice with mine.  I am going to dream of eating Gumbo tonight.  Heck with the pigs feet!  I want gumbo!  Also, IF you are cooking your okra correctly, it does not remind one of the "s" word.  WE know how to cook okra the right way but we don't tell Northerns unless they give us back our land!  Yes, Michigan is considered in the North.  But I still can like you because you are wealthy and can still afford to cook Gumbo!!!

Wild Rocky:  I just saw your post.  I need to show you how to cook okra the "right" way even if you are a Northern too!   If you aren't,you should already know how.  And you called it the "s" word too!  You better hope the "Queen of the Site" is not reading these now.

Hah, Medigal, I knew gumbo would draw you out!  I'm afraid mine is a pale imitation of what you're used to, though.  It had a nice, toasty, dark roux; shrimp (made a stock with the shrimp shells so nothing went to waste); andouille (well, it was Trader Joe's chicken andouille, does that count?); scallions, garlic, green pepper, okra (frozen - please, don't think less of me for that!); and rice, of course.  No crab.  Basically, it was a stripped-down, cheater's, northern gumbo . . . but still tasty.

We had Hoppin' John accompanied by kale chips. Cheap southern food!

revkat:  How "far" South did you go to get something "Hoppin" ? Is that some kind of Frog dish?  Now I love fried Frog legs!  But only after they stop "Hoppin".  Isn't Kale a kind of lettuce or spinich or grass?  I need to go to bed but now I have to sit here waiting to find out what this "Hoppin" thing is you are eating.  Do I need to go get what's left of the Mylanta??  It's the Old People's bedtime and even DP is sitting on the sofa waiting to find out what this is. Gosh!  You just may have done a miracle tonight.  DP will be up later than 10 PM!  Forget him, just get the answer back quick so I can get to bed.  It's been a looooong day!  Thanks!

Madyn:  Awwww!  Thanks dear one.  Next to being hated, I sure love to be loved.  I love you all back!

revkat:  Blackeyed peas and rice!!!  I never heard it called "Hoppin anything" but I LOVE them.  I hope you put a lot of pickled meat and/or ham in it.  Yummy!  You Northerns took our land AND our recipes!!  Well you can keep the land and I'll share the recipes cause you have a right to know what good food is. (BTW, you "did" win the war didn't you?)  I am so tired I don't even remember who won. But I'm glad the internet allows us to still be friends and we don't have to battle each other except when Melissa is on vacation.

That does it for me tonight, Ladies.  DP ran to "his" bed soon as I told him what the "Hoppin" was and now I am going to my room to get some sleep.  Good dreams to all!

groan. Sharon, you are so punny. 

Medigal, I know it wasn't authentic, but my version was meatless.

And it was good. I have a another version of black-eyed peas with greens that is milder that my D likes better. She didn't like the kale chips much either, but my husband snarfed them up. I thought they were a nice change from sauteed greens which is our usual method.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who follows healthy, low fat, high fiber, lots of veggie meals with a good dessert!  Sometimes you just need that sugar/fat combination to feel satisfied.
