Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ms. Feather, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today..... Partly sunny. Highs in the lower 50s. Southeast winds around 5 mph...becoming west this afternoon. ~ Tonight.... Mostly cloudy in the evening...then becoming partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like just the right thread to post some recipes. I'll go shopping to see what I can find.

But, right now, it's time for me to make my rounds. I've got reports to get to and need to say my howdy's first. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM (more allies)

Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, & Lithuania

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

A man who thinks he's George Washington has been seeing a psychiatrist.He finishes up one session by telling him, "Tomorrow, we'll cross the Delaware and surprise them when they least expect it."

As soon as he's gone, the psychiatrist picks up the phone and says, 
"King George, this is Benedict Arnold. I have the plans."

Good Morning Canteen FReepers!

Good morning Troops, FRiends, and fellow canteeners!
I've got a plate full today so I won't be in much but I sure hope everyone has a GRAND day!

Interesting Thread Soaring Feather - Thanks!
The worse food I ever had was while stationed at Eglin. The chow hall for the 33rd TFW was "contracted" out. We believed that it would sustain life, but we are not sure. Fortunately getting slopped there was seldom necessary.

The finest I ever had was while TDY to Key West Naval Station. The food there would rival any upper class restaurant around. They had REAL MILITARY chefs there.

Now here's a MOS that gets little attention but is staffed with excellent people. I found out via the VN pipeline and although I had high test scores they put me in food service. I viewed it as permanent KP and fought it and tried for a transfer for 18 months. I then accepted it and moved on and looking back there were many occupational benefit's and many quality people and excellent supervisors. Although I wanted to be elsewhere I had it made and didn't know it. It did remove the warrior attitude I went in with though.
Best to all food service specialists,

Military Chef ping.

Frank: Inchon, Korea, 1950. I was the best cook Uncle Sam ever saw, slinging hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of prime Texas steer. At least it once was prime. The Use date was three weeks past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right spices, cooked it long enough...

Kramer: What happened?

Frank: I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men to the latrines that night. They were just boys.

Kramer: Frank, you were a boy too. And it was war. It was a crazy time for everyone.

Frank: Tell that to Bobby Colby. All that kid wanted to do was go home. Well he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour flight home!
