I'll be making damascus on the above dates.:eek: If any of you Bubbas want to come on down let me know.;) 11/24 I'll be serving for lunch??? Yep!! Turkey Rice Soup. HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!
 
Trade the rice for barley and it should make it even better. Dice up carrots, celery, onion, and about 2 cups of barley. A pinch of salt and pepper. Don't forget the turkey carcass and about a gallon of water. Will you be serving warm beer?
 
I really do love West Texas, but sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I lived closer to you guys. :(

But then I get the dust in my eye, breath the top soil blowing in the wind, glance out at the completely flat and tree-void spaces around me, and remember why I love living here! And I really DO love it here! I guess you gotta grow up here to know.

Man I would love to go ESP since the 24 th is my birthday. I've been having nothing but trouble with making damascus. Oh well maybe another time.

I spent a chunk of my life growing up in San Angelo...and you can keep west Texas. Everything either bites stings or stabs you. Grass (which seems to be mostly burs) ants you name it. And don't get me started on the taste of the water.:barf: But I am happy for you if you like it. Just not for me.

For most people, San Angelo is heaven compared to the South Plains. Here, I grew up on a farm where the tallest thing around for 10 miles was the telephone poles and then the tallest thing for 50 miles was a grain elevator. I could see Plainview, 20 miles away, just by glancing NE. One of the early Spanish explorers came through a few miles from where I live and termed the area the Llano Estacato (the staked plains) because they had to drive stakes every so often just to know where they came from...no trees or landmarks at all until settlers planted them. He described it as a "vast grassland desert with many small lakes." He must have come through after a rain storm on a wet year when the playas were full. Anyway, one good thing about flat and no trees, you can see the tornado that's about to remove your house from a long ways off!

Ray, that barley sounds pretty good.;) I boil the carcass with bay leaves,celery, garlic and onions. Then I add basil, oregano, thyme, carrots, parsley, celery, onions, green pepper, dash of my HT'g relish and some fresh kale thats still growing in my garden. Also must have fresh Portagee buns with butter. :D

Mike & Nathan, the best time to visit is in the springtime to fall. It's really nice around here then. I live on the coast of Mass. A mile from the river the goes into the Atlantic ocean.
PS: Mike, have a good B'day on the 24th.:thumbup:

I am cooking a 15# bird and only have four people coming over.:eek::eek:

I actually will be trying my first solo bloom smelt in Ithaca at my mother's place. Figure with the ladies in the kitchen there's gonna be way too much estrogen flying! I'll be out behind my machine shop trying to turn 50 pounds of iron ore and 100 pounds of charcoal into wrought iron or steel
