First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway - Thread 2

Donate to FR ^

[Mo1]

The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.

The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.

P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.

Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

i'm so sorry to hear that. pets become so much a part of your family... condolences.

anything meatlike goes to our dogs. anything fishlike goes to the cats. i've never cooked canned clams... but gabz' recipe looks like a project for me and my girl (she needs to cook us something for a girl scout patch... and we have a fryer). hmmm.

a little supervision, a little taste testing. a little more taste testing.

[Gabz]

I did them in the deep fryer.

The recipe says to put 5 inches of oil in a Dutch oven and drop them in when oil is hot, for 5 minutes or until golden.

I don't eat fried oysters, but hubby does, so in the past he has taken my raw oysters and fried them up for sandwiches for work. He's been having a blast this week laughing about his clam sandwiches. They are just as good cold as right out of the fryer.

I don't do much fried foods, but I've got to tell you I will being doing these again and again. Set them on some paper towels for a minute orso - and that's it - they are not greasy at all - I was amazed. And I didn't use any kind of fancy oil. Just plain old supermarket brand vegetable oil.

[Gabz]

I'm sorry you lost your alexander. Losing a pet is always hard.

All I can say about the story of acquiring him.......


BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

[justshe]

I married a Catholic, 33 years ago, who came with an edict that I would NEVER cook tuna casserole, OR mac and cheese, until death do us part....lol.

The no-meat on Fridays obviously left a lasting impression on him.

[Gabz]

It was MOST excellent.

I couldn't believe that leftovers weren't all soggy or gooey. If anything they tasted better the next day. and again today when I threw the last few of them on the cookie sheet with the fish sticks that were tonite's dinner!!!

I was really amazed and impressed with the recipe.
