See attached, but I use the full strength soy sauce. I cannot stand the unleaded variety...
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/teriyaki-pork-tenderloin/detail.aspx
So this loin sounds goos. Love to have the reciptep
Good morning Everybooooooooooooooody! How did you prepare the loin? Please share.
With a teriyaki glaze. Came out REALLY good.
Good Morning all. Hello and Welcome Patricia!
TGIF!!! Sorry, don't have breakfast here today, but you are all invited for Chicken Teriyaki and drinks by a bon fire tonight. Just let me know what you want to drink – have to make a booze run :)
Thought I would check this out. Sounds like most of you are Easteners. Here it is just 7am. Been up since 4 looking for something new to catch my eye. You all sound like a good conversation. Anything to beat the heat in Palm Springs, Ca. Expect about 110 today. Nice cool off from 115. So, hi everyone.
Hello Pat and welcome aboard! We have a hand full of west coasters that post later in the day.
OR those who get up at 3 a.m.!! Moving over to the new thread, Kat got us posted...
Another thread/link I expect to pop up from the CNN main feed that's already gotten some traffic- NYC vs. Montreal bagels discussion in the comments
http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/06/23/new.york.bagels.closed/index.html
Looks like the 4-H thread is still going strong...good grief people! The hilarious thing is that most people seemed to miss the point of the article as well as the "?" in the title.
Yeah... they seem to think the title is an automatic attack on the 4H
Howdy.......sooooo..........we're having yesterday as today again........Are we having our own "Groundhog Day?" Twice in one year? Will this be a semi annual event now that we are one?
one year old not an existential one......well, maybe we ARE "e" one?
Happy Friday friends and Happy Birthday to Thing 2!!!
Nice of ya to stop by stranger. How ya been?
I'm good. I usually check in here later in the evenings when everyone is gone for the day. But that's just my work schedule. I'm just trying to keep the kids busy during the day, without having to be their entertainment. With youngs ones, it's a delicate balance. But, seems to finally be happening this year!
I'll try to check back in later.
@JainaJade–I really enjoy reading the recipes on your website and am determined to make a few of them once we get some more local vegetables harvested!
Happy Birthday Queen and Thing2!!!!
Pork loin turned out great. I have the leftovers for my lunch today.
MANY happy returns to Queen and young'un! Any major plans for the celebration?
We had his party last weekend but we'll probably have some cake and ice cream after dinner tonight.
On this very day, at this very time exactly one year ago, I had been in labor for 1 hour and 22 minutes. It was two days before my due date but my OB decided that the safest plan for all involved was to induce me. At 0700 the Pitocin was started and at 0927 my beautiful 7lbs 9oz, 21 inch long Adam Michael was born. So Happy Birthday to my baby!
Happy happy b day!
Happy Birthday! Give your mother hell! :)
Good morning all!
Looks like the janitorial crew never made it by last night...
Good Morning Bro–Looks like someone had a party and all the "pretty people" did not get an invite. How'd the pork loin turnout?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY my little buddy. Are we gonna have cake and ice cream for breakfast?
Good morning all! I have some carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese icing.
Yesterday sucked....turns out I was right about something that I really REALLY didn't want to be right about.
I hope you are o.k.–everything alright?
it's long and complicated but it just proved to me that first impressions are normally correct. When I found out yesterday I was switching between wanting to cry and wanting to scream. If under different circumstances I would be doing my "told you so dance" ala Will & Grace but....
And what would that be?? By the way, bean salad was/is fantastic!
glad you enjoyed :-) did you do it as a side or as a sandwich filling?
I entered it in a contest: http://www.food52.com/recipes/12678_cannellini_bean_salad however I don't think it will come out on top, which sucks.
I had it in a bowl as a main dish. Very filling. I did your college fridge trick. Added half a tomato and a handful of frozen corn that had been lying around in the freezer. And yeah, I sometimes hate it when my gut instinct and first impressions are correct. Kinda eerie sometimes. Hope you feel better.
Thanks for the cupcakes... and *hugs*
Fresh strawberries and cream for everyone!
Now, when there's a (understandable) delay in the day's Coffee Klatsch going up, will our dear Queen of Everything look here for the AM posts/attendance?
Good morning! I'll have the strawberries, thanks!
Good Morning and thanks for the treats. I would recommend that we turn off the Disco lites ball,you know how she gets around bright shiny objects.
I bet Q deducts Kat some points on Klatsching.
Ack! Sorry - internet was out. Ugh.
Maybe,KAT on a Hot Tin Roof? She is checking her taters and maters,got temporarily sidetracked by bright shiny objects or is getting a new tattoo. Good Friday Morning Chumarinos. Nice biceps Beer Babe.
What's going on my friend? Did you and WD tear up those meatball subs?
Good Morning Lil' Buddy...The Queen scarfed "em all down and poor WD was checking the floor for crumbs. :((( Did ya get your car back yet?
Yep, got the car back yesterday at noon. Didn't need the water pump so it came in under 2K and I also got a free battery check, tire rotation and car detail. I think she will last another 2 years or so. Did you get any more rain in TX?
Man,that is a good deal on the car. I need to do that on the Toyota too. Got the ladder out yesterday to clean out a gutter over the porch,a large tree with many leaves kept clogging things up.I looked North and had dark skies,yet NO rain. Guess I should have washed the SUV instead.
Alright my man, I'm off to the great wide yonder to work. Have a great weekend and you and WD stay cool!
Have a Great weekend my good friend. I'm gonna dip out for awhile so I can take WD to the Dr. and get her 30.000 mile checkup.
Ha, ha! I had the spinal injection yesterday and I didn't feel a thing when they did it! That Vicodin is some gooood stuff. Procedure only took about 15 min, with 45 min of prep! Although a little sore last night/today. What they failed to mention until after the procedure (at 1pm) is that I can't shower or drive for 24 hrs! So, I'll be home today...don't think they will want me there. LOL
I love me some pain killers. I was begging for more when I was on them. Oh, you are gonna love that hot hot bath or shower when you take it. Get well!
Glad I took a long shower yesterday and washed my hair before I went in. Funny you said earlier about a massage, I was joking with them while on the table that I was ready for my hot stone massage! Just have to take it easy for a couple of days, but I really hope this works for me, cuz doc is said yesterday "maybe we need to start thinking about surgery"! I hope he had a mouse in his pocket for the "we"....
What you mean WE Kemosabie?
Clothes pins,Get your clothes pins here.
Silly, don't you know that us girls don't sweat! No stink on me!! :)
Here ya go Buddy,A gas mask left over from Y2K. It should still work-What is that smell,It can't be Odie.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I knew you couldn't drive home after the procedure, but I forgot about the next day. I hope you aren't too sore today – keep popping those meds – they are a life saver!
It's too early, and I have no coffee. Next stop,The Twilight Zone.....
"It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper. "
OK, I think this is a first, I am first? And no new Eatocracy?? Or am I in the Twighlight Zone?? TGIF!
Morning JBJ. Who the hell left this mess in the klatsch? I bet Kweenie and Peewee had a soiree and didn't even invite me! Anyway, coffee and mom and pop donuts for all.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that! I have some nice french roast all ready, probably be gone by the time hubs gets up! Ha. Don't know why I couldn't sleep...up at 3 a.m. this morning...
3am?! Sounds like you and Truth need some full body massages to relax and catch some Zs. So what's on your mind keeping you up?
Salad and roast pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes. How about in your casa?
It's up in the air right now. Got to take WD to the Dr. in the morning for a skin rash,and other problems so it's gonna have to be light. We both have the white coat syndrome.
Well best to you both and we'll talk in the a.m., because I am out. Be well Bro!
Back from an afternoon that was a complete and utter waste. Did I miss anything good?
The Queen is re-Demoted,Tazer is almost ready to go dancing and JBJ is flexing her new biceps. Other than that,NO.
Did you see where out long lost brother showed his face (briefly) this morning?
Saw that,Still no answer? What's for dinner?
And where have you been young lady? We really need to talk about the paucity (WOD) of participation from you.
I've been saving lives and living the dream...and randomly demoting Klatsch points from people.
Well, due to your paucity (WOD) of posts today, you are hereby demoted to "Dutchess of things that start with A-H, but only in months ending in Y".
I had a paucity (WOD) of food at lunch and now I'm very hungry.
Want a meatball sandwich,still got some left?
Yes please!!!
It's on wheat bread that is NOT gluten free–Talk to the hand and your welcome.
Thanks Richeypoo! This is why we're best friendsies!
I always find there is a paucity (WOD) of good sense and logic used on the part of our vegan friends.
Wish I could stay and play, chat later folks.
See ya later!
Hi guys!
How Ya been? Ready to go dancing?
just about! :-)
Tazer is up and walking, a bit now, but still in PT for the next few weeks. The new foot is lovingly referred to as "zombie foot."
I just purchased 3 $ 5.00 footlong meatball sandwiches so that there would not be a paucity of round Italian meataballs for WD and I to enjoy.
Are you sure they are meat balls? Or are they inflated meat BALLS?
sorry – I had to.
Naughty, naughty....
I'm still sleepy,what is an inflated meat ball? What's the latest from Tazer,Warrior Princess?

I realise that I have a paucity of patience when dealing with ignorant people.
and stupid people and moochers and a$$holes and men in general
Why men?
long story....taking a lot of self control to not go and punch someone. I thought I had seen the bottom of the barrel but I now stand corrected.
Luckily my bf is amazing and wonderful and scared of me so I don't worry about him pulling this sort of $hit :-D
Some of the people on the 4H thread show a paucity of intelligent thought.
The day started on a tense note with a overly large amount of BS about some of the computers in the warehouse office. After all that, though, my brother decides to let off some steam by blasting this from his computer. Dancing quickly followed.
Hahaha! The best! Hey do you have any Soulhat or Jacko-Pierce?
I think I need to go on a troll hunt, I just found something out that is making my blood BOIL and need some targets.
here vegan vegan vegan....
Who is "Stir the pot"?
just checked out the 4H...wow it doesnt take them long to lose the point of the post, does it? let's see if my post gets any responses... :)
Greetings, chums! I've lost my shadow for the afternoon. I'm so lonely. :(
ya want me to hook you up with Peter Pan? he found his... he might be able to help you. :)
Hello everyone! A bit of good news – Found out from HP that my laptop is on its way back. Thank you, techno-geeks!
Here's hoping that the trolls come out to play, today... I could use a good laugh.
That is great news on the HP...I think you dodged a pretty major bullet.
And if you want to see troll baiting, head over to the 4H thread. Absolute nuclear over there.
Yeah, I don't think that I will ever buy a computer from anywhere but Costco, ever again... There customer service was fantastic, and they extend the manufacturer's warranty by a year. Not bad, not bad.
"Their" not "There..." *facepalm*
The 4H thread is ok – not super hot. There aren't too many vegans, just a lot of people defending 4H against those who don't like it. I'm trying to stir the pot though.
Yeah on the laptop – sucks to be without.
When did so many angry people start posting on Eatocracy blogs? Sheesh. 11 o'clock post full of people I'd like to repeatedly hit with heavy mining equipment. Lighten up, yeah?
"Light What?"
Yeah. Just responded to myself there.
I'm angry. Because I don't have pizza. Angry and sad.
There is another full sheet pizza here in my cube – come and get it.
Hah. While reading the 4-H thread, I notice one of the paid links under the article was "Woman dies after Cow attacks her – Huffington Post."
Delicious, delicious coincidence there.
Checking in for my daily dose of points from QOE. Gotta fly off to lunch (soooo not having crabs today). Got boatloads of part numbers to pull this afternoon. whee. ;)
Hugs to all & Happy Thursday!!
Hello chums. I see we're testing the moderators again today.
The Norfolk jokes? I am sure Kat has heard worse...
Looks like the 4H thread is lighting up...This should be good.
And speaking of good, the Robin Meade banner is up again. Yowza!
I saw the 4H thread starting to explode... at the same time some of my friends on twitter started discussing the tastiness of venison.
I left a little contribution there as well.
Really, people will create drama anywhere.
Lighting up is an understatement, 4th of july style fireworks is even an understatement.
Had a crush on Robin Meade for a long time. Not too skinny, not tubby, nice teeth, optimist, DLS lips, etc.
"Lighting Up"?
Shall we?
Welcome back Bro! How you been? How is NGF and brood?
You are right about Robin, though I have also thought Karen Mcguinnes is a class act. Also old school, as I remember watching her in the 80s.
A man fell asleep on the beach under the noon day sun and suffered a severe sunburn to his legs. He was taken to the hospital where his skin had turned bright red, was painful and had started to blister. Anything that touched his legs caused agony. The doctor prescribed continued intravenous feedings of water and electrolytes, a mild sedative and Viagra. Rather astounded, the nurse inquired, "What good will Viagra do him in his condition?" The doctor replied, "It will keep the sheet off his legs."
Ding Ding Ding... we have a winner!
you mean ding ding DONG, right?? GRIN
I had a sunburn like that when I was a kid... blisters over 50% of my body. Was sent home from the ER with medicated bandages, salves, and not much else.
Good morning all. I'm one of the lucky ones I guess. No sleepless nights for me. Then again, I'm on a neuro blocker, and allergy meds that knock me out – to the point where I can't wake up in the morning.
Hope everyone is having a good day so far. Pizza for lunch – with assorted soda, and warm cookies. It's all in my cube – help your selves.
oooooooo pizza!! i havent had pizza in AGES!!! thanks!!
Truth – i can relate. i've had insomnia all week, and it just plain sucks. dont know why... i've been busy...had good days, even better drives into and home from work. it just doesnt make sense!! argh!! i need a good caffeine substitute for diet coke...coffee's out... and starbucks is too far away for iced coffee. what say you folks???
Excedrin.
really??? i could do that!! and it'd get rid of any headache too!! thanks!
Hot chocolate?
lol!! if it was winter i'd say YES!! maybe i can get an iced chocolate..wait...that's pretty much what my version of iced coffee is. :)
I have never tried to caffeineit myself with anything other than the daily gallon of coffee, but judging by the volume of red bulls I see around it might just work.
I can vouch for the red bull. One of those will wake you up. Make sure to chug it though...cause they really do taste like crap.
RED BULL!
*shudder* red bull... *shudder* i had a bad experience with red bull and vodka once..long ago... the smell of it now makes me nauseous. those energy drinks make me crazy.... i cant stop bouncing around and my hands shake. but man would that be convenient!!
If you want a kick of energy, kick the caffeine and get some vitamin B complex. Take a couple in the morning and you are good to go. A 5 hour energy shot is pretty much the same but has some caffeine in it.
As far as "natural" energy, this is the stuff to use.
i'm running to the store at lunch and i'll pick some up. thanks!! i'm trying to get rid of drinking the diet coke, but i've had to revert to it on days like today...and i really dont want to start it back up again. thanks for the info!! i appreciate it!
I think we had the same experience...when the guy next to me opens his morning red bull i have to leave the office. All thanks to Spring Break and a (stupid) bartender
Monster Java – It kicks butt! If you aren't used to a lot of 'juice' to get you going, you might get the shakes, but I can drink 2 or 3 and just be a little jittery, but not too bad.
Good morning from sunny and not as hot So. Cal today! The hubs is off playing tennis (he has a schedule you know), while I sit here sipping water for 15 more minutes before my cut-off, then off to the doc at 10:30 for a big ole shot of steroids. Hmmm, will I get some muscles out of this?? LOL
Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta choke a stooge?
Morning all! Not awake yet, but it must be a good day, its my Friday!
Today is my Friday too! But only for this week. Got a golf tourney tomorrow...can't wait :)
We talking 4 person scramble with endless beer refills from the beer cart gurl, or serious tourny here?
The first. Lots of drinking and driving....golf carts at least.
Ahhh, good times!
haha ours is Monday :-)
Ok, here's a cute story to start the day. I get home last night and noticed a squirrel hanging out on the top rail of my patio. He was looking down into the patio quite intently. I didn't think anything of it. So I changed clothes, put on some news and watched tv for a while, but eventually noticed what the squirrel was staring at. It turned out tha a baby squirrel had jumped down into the patio, which is fully enclosed and could not get out. I called animal control, who was closed for the day. I thought about my options,and wished I had a pellet rifle, as I don't think my HOA (not to mention the neighbors) would appreciate my using a shotgun. Then it hit me – I have a perfectly good cat who lives for this sort of thing. Ten minutes later, we have one less squirrel in the world and one highly adrenalized cat, who just earned his keep. I thought about dressing it out and trying the "give squirrel a whirl" recipe, but it was just a young'un, without much meat.
Perfect! I do a similar thing anytime I trap mice in the house, to the garage with them, the garage cat loves a slow snack.
What? You didn't fry up the "Nuts"? I hate HOA's....There are only 2 streets in my whole section of Old Katy with no HOA and I live on one of them. Take that corporate America.
my first thought is: poor baby squirrel!! then my instincts kick in and good for the cat for ridding you of a tree rat!! too bad i couldnt lend you my dogs for a bit..they'd def have a good time with it. since the mother's day massacre i havent seen a single squirrel in my yard...and the birds are getting scarce too...
I was just going to hang a blanket over to see if he would figure out how to get out, but Bride didn't want a blanket getting chewed up. I also did not want the critter climbing into the dryer vent and potentially dying inside. I think this was the best solution for all parties involved (except of course, the squirrel)
Good morning all! I'm not going into work until 12noon today. The big, big boss lady is not a fan of paying overtime so I can't work the 12 hour shift that I was supposed to today. I'll also have a shadow this afternoon and only one computer to share between the two of us so I may not be on much. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!! SWAK!!
Well, a relaxing morning should be a great thing!
Good morning everyone!
Good morning all. At work today trying to catch up on everything. Yesterday was a "good" day, he was awake and coherent almost the entire day :-) Also looks like the new pain medications are doing their job as are the new nausea medications.
Hope to have some new recipes up on the blog soon, including some great dishes for when company is coming over.
That is Great News,stay strong young lady.
*hugs* Good to hear about the good day.
A brief hello crew from Norfolk, VA.
Good Morning Bro,When 'ya getting home?
Back on Saturday. Have I missed anything on here in the past few days?
Do Poop Burgers count? HA! It's actually been pretty quiet,no major trolls but it's not the weekend yet.
Hey SirB, were you able to check out the Freemason Abbey?
No Freemason Abbey yet, but if you like hammering crabs, we hit up a place called Bubba's that were Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmm, damn GOOOD!!!!!!
What's the difference between hammering crabs and itchy crabs? My gyno wants to know.
I think PeeWee probably has some experience putting the hammer down on a case of crabs. Ha! Ha! I crack myself up!
Hammering crabs is eating blue crabs and drinking cold beer. Itchy crabs means you need to stop visitng whore island every weekend.
Off to work, enjoy this: http://tinypic.com/r/153nuys/7
I have a very important question for you. Do you pronounce Norfolk, nor-fuk or nor-folk?
The first way. Used in a sentence, "I was so tired that I wanted to niether talk Norfolk."
That sentence should never come out of a guys mouth :)
My girlfriend was brooding, so she wanted to niether talk Norfolk.
That makes more sense now.
LOL! That was you when you pulled your spuds out of your garden, right? "My name is Potato!"
Good morning all!
A sunny and warm day on tap in the MHC...Coffee is on and we have some homemade bread in back. Enjoy!
Damned insomnia again.
Here's a few folks that I am VERY glad to NOT be:
Lindsey Lohan (Hollywood stooge)
Barack Obama (Liberal Stooge)
OJ Simpson (Murderer Stooge)
Anthony Weiner (Idiot Stooge)
Vapor (Troll Stooge)
And did I mention, I HATE insomnia...
Good morning Truth. I know the insomnia thing is a bi tch. Here's a few folks that I am very glad to not be:
Latoya Jackson (Stupid stooge)
Senator Craig (Mens bathroom stooge)
SirBiddle (Triple D Playground DC stooge)
Joy Behar (Shrill stooge)
Justin Beiber (No talent no puberty (but very rich) stooge)
Good Morning my Friends–I'm brain dead this morning on stooges. Mo' Coffee please! Jerv,What was the prognosis on the Car? Truth,Sorry about the can't sleep thing.
Morning my friend. Having the radiator, waterpumg and a few other things done for 2K. I'd rather do that than spend 6K a year for 4 to 5 years on another vehicle. Did you get rain in TX?
I concur on the preventative maintenance–Gonna replace the A/C compressor on Big Blue this weekend. Katy got almost 2 inches of rain yesterday and scattered showers this morning. Why do these DumbAzzes always speed up in the rain and drive without their headlights on when it rains? It's nice to be home tho.
I know dude, they do the same sh it here too. I even explained it to a few folks one time. The reason you turn your lights on in the rain is so other people can see you, not so you can see. Defensive driving, get it?. "But I can see so why do I need to turn on my lights?" Dumb, dumber and dumbest. Well, anyway glad you got rain and are home.
Checking out, gotta go to work.
Oh, by the way, on yesterdays Klatsch, AuroraDawn was asking for BBQ advice. That is definitely your purview.
10-4 Lil' Buddy,don't work too hard today.
Insomnia is my second middle name. You can actually complete a whole season of baseball on the PS3 in one night! Who knew?
