Kathy Ellen posted a pic on the ducky vacay thread with a pic of a turkey made with them. Incredibly sticky to work with. I lost to a professional artist who made a mermaid complete with the boobs and all.:wah:

Yes. It's called Weird Week and they have it every year where we vacation. We only do the french frie & taffy sculpting contests. They break up the ages. My son's friend made a tv/remote control & won 3rd place and I won honorable mention in the french frie sculpting, but we both lost in the taffy sculpting.:wah:

The other 3 contests of the week are TastyKake pie sculpting, a wet t-shirt throwing contest and then for little kids under 5 yrs., a Mr & Mrs. Chao's contest and that involves who are the loudest kids. Rather annoying.

Also, at the end of August there is a new contest called the Guy & Gal Flop. Like who can flop on the beach really good.:wah:

RED

Cucumbers - you slice cucumbers & onions - amount is your choice..

place in bowl add vinegar.

amount of vinegar to taste or - vinegar, I usually pour until I start to see some thru the cukes.

add water just to cover cukes. salt & pepper - chill, serve cold.

you can also adde ice cubes to the top & less water to speed the chill process or to keep cold as serving.

The cukes & onions absorb the vinegar. delish

you'll like the vinegar solution since you & I like pickle juice. I drink it.

Flop - scrambled eggs - I love adding any & everything to eggs

mushrooms, bacon, cheese, onions.

I'll add all these ingredients to a baked potato

it's my Baked Potato Pizza. oh, so good & simple.

My Lastest must have is slices of Green Pepper on my hamburger. DELISH

you have to try it, if you haven't already

Green Pepper taste is wonderful..

Indeed...:yh_drool...

I like to brown a pound of ground chuck, add about a half a package of your favorite breakfast sausage, and chopped onions and garlic to taste(Most of the time I add chopped green bell pepper and a red sweet bell pepper if I have one as well)all the while your bringing about three 16 oz cans of tomato puree to a partial boil(Don't scorch the bottom) add the browned meat and add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, a few squeezes of lemon juice and about two or three tablespoons of chili-sauce(Ketchup will substitute) to taste...While at a partial boil add about a half tablespoon of sugar and voila!!!...

Instant delicious spaghetti...Serve with a nice soft Italian bread and a good merlot...Delicious!!!...:yh_drool...

Tonight I have to improvise as we just got back from vacation and I'm out of meat:wah:, so just plain old sauce but your recipe sounds delish.

How about Manhattan Clam Chowder? Yummio

When I'm out of beef I usually grill a chicken breast in an Italian herb salad dressing(I strongly urge any of you to grill a chicken breast after marinating it in "Creamy Italian" salad dressing) and serve that along with the spaghetti...I usually put it on the same plate and sort of eat it with the sauce...

(I always keep frozen chicken breasts)...

Oh and if you have any fresh tomatoes laying around dice those up and put it over the spaghetti...It gives it the earthy flavor to it...

And to be honest I never really have tried Clam chowder...I believe I've had a few bowls of it in the instant soup but from what I hear from you easterners that's blasphemy!!...:wah:...

:yh_wink...

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:53 am

Yeah, I do marinate my chicken and sometimes my steak in Italian dressing. Right now my chicken breasts are frozen solid and no microwave on hand. But chicken parmesan is also a goody. It's my daughter's fave meal.:-4

Try marinating them in the "Creamy Italian" dressing...It really is delicious and much more succulent...

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:58 am

I'll try that and I do have that on hand. I wonder if you can marinate them in Creamy Italian and then bread them? Sounds really good.

Well...

I prefer chicken grilled...I really hate chicken baked...It dries them out so ungodly dry...

I do grill them, but if I'm making chicken parm I precook the chicken with the marinades and then place them in a pan with red sauce under them and over them. Very moist.

Well, pork chops in the oven are even worse. I can never win that battle.

I've never been a fan of pork chops...The texture is just too tough for me...But frying pork chops is the only way I'd eat them...I can't even imagine baked pork chops...

I think pork roasts tend to be too dry as well...I do like them in a very good light gravy...

With mashed potatoes and a heap of buttery mixed vegetables...Not too much butter...Not healthy for you...:yh_wink...Just enough to make your mouth water...:sneaky:Hehe...

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:53 am

Mmm, I grill the roast for about 20 min. per pound and it always comes out unscathed unlike it's sister the horrible pork chop.:-4

K.Snyder · Post by **K.Snyder** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 11:58 am

That gives me one...

Venison!!!...

Venison is the most delicious roast I've ever eaten...So succulent and juicy and tender...

Don't let people fool you when they tell you it's too wild tasting because if it is then the butcher or the hunter screwed up...

Deer need to be killed efficiently because they release a chemical within their bodies when they're stressed and it ruins the meat at the same time if one isn't butchered correctly the meat will spoil as well...

But oh so delicious!!!...

And

Deer jerky!!!...

So good...

You can get it tied up in sections. It's actually very good with grilled potatoes and veggies.
