The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

A lot of mileage on this thread! Lots of fun banter last night, I actually couldn’t keep up with it all!!

But that’s what makes a fun neighborhood bar!

Off to buy a new lawnmower. Rototill to expand the punkin patch and plant a bunch of sunflower seedlings before we have company around 5.

I’ll read your wacky hijynx tonite!

Catch yaz all later!!
Did you have fun this evening? 🥰🥰
 
You know…in NZ…they think YOU have a sexy accent! 🤣

OK sports fans…you know what day it is? Yes, we covered the official meaning for us Yanks, but do you know what 2 Day is? Only the greatest day of RACING ever! Formula One in Monaco (the crown jewel of that circuit), Indy 500 in…Indy, and the whatever they’re calling the NASCAR race now n Charlotte.

So your Morning Zen will be a little different today…a picture of my Yacht parked at the race…can you see me? 🤣

I see you, HDH! I'm soooo disappointed you didn't invite me this year! 😫😅

I saw a Formula One race in Monza, Italy in the 70s. 🏎🏁
 
So far so d, ma'am, and Happy Weekend to you, too.


I pulled out Wonder67's s'ghetti sauce recipe and the Desire to Tune that has always liked in my head. So, crushed tomatoes. I made the bestest sauce ever when I used Romas that I had grown myself. That's not happening this year, but I discovered that Contadina cans Roma maters, so I scored a bunch. It doubled the cost of that ingredient, but it sure as Hell tastes like I had a hankerin' for and that's all that matters. I use more garlic and onions, and I'm tossing in 2 pounds of mild Italian sausage. I weaseled out on the spices and just used Italian seasoning, but I used a lot of it. It''s be ready in 8 hours because it's getting the very slow cook.
😋 😋 😋
 
We’ll let it marinate for a day, let the gals get some input and we’ll brainstorm ideas about how to do it…

I’m going to go find PhotoGirls thread and post it here…she formatted it in a Recipe book style somehow, so we’ll get our smart gals/guys on it…I do NOT include myself in that smart set! 🤣
Maybe invite her here?

I was wondering if the thread could be formatted to pull out the kind of recipe one was wanting. I am definitely not one of those who can do that, however. We must have SOME geniuses here! 🤣🤣
 
OK…I found PhotoGirls recipe and drink thread here.

Check out how she formatted the recipes! 😮. Very cool. I’m positive I had contributed but couldn’t find my entry. B2 has something on there I think.

I’ll send her a PM and ask how she did that…I assume it’s as easy as just taking it to a Word doc and using a template? Anyhow….I think it would be a good addition to our little community as we seem to have a fair amount of good cooks hanging around this Cafe/Pub/All night greasy spoon!
Maybe we should just contribute to her thread. Seems she has it figured out. And wants to create a Lit cookbook!
 
The thread had been bumping along but I had an issue with an image I posted in a different thread (I think it was a rainbow photo of the dog park 🤣🤣) and all almost all my photos were removed. I thought I had replaced everyone’s recipes but I may have missed yours. I will look through my recipes and PM’s to see what I can find out.
Thanks for saying something. My goal is that all recipes submitted should be posted.

I started it with @cascadiabound and then other bits of Lit and life took over. Cas and I wanted an aesthetic and easy to search thread. I droppped them all a little.

@sallysparrow23 has been contributing with her bread recipes and others have been posting too.
It would be great to really get it going again. What we did before is folks pm’d me their recipe and a photo and I made a card for it.
If that works I could keep doing it. Let me know if y'all are interested or if you just want to do the same thing here I just used a canva template that I modified. 😃
Excellent work, @Photog1rl! 🥰🥰
 
No. I’m not having any issues. Honestly, I did my best to fix the thread and then was a little disheartened about it and then life/Lit went other directions and I didn’t give it the love it deserved. Thank you for asking though 💕

Any and all recipes. Our goal was ones you have tried and have insight into. What are your go to recipes. We broke it down by type of food and I think we started a key for if it easy or more advanced? But any input is great. Does it always work or is it finicky? What tweaks have you tried? Things like that.
I often create recipes. I always take pictures of my creations. Do you want the pics? Or just the recipe?
 
Same boat today as you were last week @Oldermom935…

Minding my own business planting punkins and tomatoes in the garden when I heard a big craaaaaaack. Then a boom of an electrical transformer.

Went running up the street and saw all the lines down. No power. luckily we have a generator.

This’ll take a few days… 😬 it’s JCP&L after all.

The fun never ends! 😂
Glad you have a generator! Lucky it didn't cause a fire! 😱😱
 
Oh dear Lili I think I might have touched your friends nerve so as a gentleman I apologise. As for you, rather than your friend, I never saw you as a girl who wasn’t brought up right. I saw your post saying your parents both served . Experience has just taught me that……oh sorry can’t say. Gentlemen never kiss and tell!

Do tell your friend my preferences don’t mean I exclude they are just, well preferences!

(He throws down the shovel and stops digging!)😂😂
My "friend" accepts your apology, G! 🤣🤣🤣😘
 
Boo! Drive bye hello to y'all
Hey, Kathy! Hope you're having a good night!!
Mine's almost done. 🥱 Tired!
I'm preparing for a very dangerous storm that effect us by 12 to 1 am
I'm just above Dayton, Ohio (Tipp City, Ohio)

Be safe, RJ!! Is this normal for your area and this time of year? Seems like... a lot!

There are storms predicted for all morning tomorrow and then pop-up showers off/on all afternoon. Nothing scary or intense for me - just a wet blanket for the whole dang day.
