Welcome Friends, foes and associates to the completely remodeled Free Republic...
Smoker's Lounge
Here you will find a comfy place to smoke, drink, joke or whatever. We always have a great time, so sit back, relax and...
My hubby is grill challenged-actually he's cooking challenged, period. He can tend to ribs/chops on the grill by basting them with sauce, turning them, etc, but he can't cook a meal by himself and he knows nothing about herbs and spices-the only seasonings he knows about are salt and pepper. He can't cook a meal and have it taste like something you'd want to eat. That, cleaning and laundry are the only areas in which he is challenged, however-he's excellent at everything else from fixing cars to building furniture and repairing plumbing.
EXCUSE ME...........I'm a regular - I walk in and I expect to just get it.................
Can you belive it? - the little one "graduates" from kindergarten on Tuesday.
We won't know for a couple of weeks what grade she will be in come September - there has been some undercurrects that it will be 2nd not 1st.........YIKES!!!
Like you don't know?????
Hey - 24 inches of snow, heck even 12 inches will give some becuase of the wind in this region............!!!
I'm just cheap - if I've got leftovers, I'm gonna use them up before they go bad!!!!
I love pot roast, but I don't want to heat up the kitchen that much.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to the smart munchkin (and her exemplary parents)...
LOL!!!!
I was just kiding with you - I'm lucky, my hubby is challenged in very few areas around the house or kitchen - and I'm the one that is grill challenged.................last time I tried to light it I lost the hair on my arms, my eyebrows and most of my eyelashes - I stay away from it.

Use the crockpot - it's the only way I do a pot roast!!!
Put it together the night before and turn it on low in the morning.
I love doing that in the summer when the weather is dreary, even though it's warm.
Since you and hubby enjoy priest jokes, here's another.
Two Priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation.
They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a store and bought shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.
The next morning, they went to the beach, dressed in their "tourist" garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a "drop dead gorgeous" blonde in a thong bikini came walking straight towards them.
They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them, she smiled and said "good morning, Father, good morning, Father," nodding and addressing each of them individually, then passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?
So the next day, they went back to the store & bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them.
Once again the two priests settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a string bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she nodded at each of them, said "good morning, Father" and started to walk away.
One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said.......
"Just a minute young lady."
Yes," she replied. "We are priests, and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did you know we are priests dressed as we are?"
The blonde turned around and replied, "Father, it's me, Sister Angela."
thank you, my FRiend......
I've also done a number of pot roasts in the fireplace. I use a cast iron dutch oven. It works like a charm, but you have to keep a close eye on it in order not to overcook the meat.
Thanks for the neat website-I bookmarked it-I bake my own bread, too...
I'm laughing over the hot pepper heat of my dinner.............
Thinking about it, you could use a cast iron dutch oven outdoors in a fire pit, too. Using nothing but hickory and mesquite for the coals: YUMMERS!
They have all kinds of cool stuff there. I wish I could afford ALL of it. Well, maybe not all, but a sizeable chunk of it.
This one should bet you grinning.
A husband walks into Frederick's of Hollywood to purchase some sheer lingerie for his wife.
He is shown several possibilities that range from $250 to $500 in price, the more sheer, the higher the price.
He opts for the most sheer item, pays the $500 and takes the lingerie home.
He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on and model it for him.
Upstairs, the wife thinks, "I have an idea. It's so sheer that it might as well be nothing. I'll not put it on, do the modeling naked and return it to the store tomorrow and get a $500 refund for myself".
So she appears naked on the balcony and strikes a pose.
The husband says, "Good Lord! You'd think that for $500, they'd at least iron it!"
Funeral Services are pending.
Alas - no fireplace - just a woodstove.........
The reason I like the pot roast in the crock pot is that hubby is not fond of pot roast (his mother was lousy at making it) he never says no if I suggest I'm going to do it that way........I'm not going to mess up a good thing!!!!
And besides, I don't have to pay a bit of attention to it!!!!!!
