[SHOOTER13]

Just made a quick salad of Iceberg & Romaine Lettuce, Cherry Tomatoes from the Wife's Garden, Red Onion, and Sour Dough Croutons...with Sea Salt, Fresh Cracked Pepper, and Olive Oil & Red Vinegar Dressing.

...it was too DAMN HOT to cook !!

...and a few Sam Adams Summer Ales !!

[Dutchboy]

Neighbor did the cookout/barbecue thing with the usual food offerings, ribs, chicken, dogs & hamburgers.

I found a nice shady spot and sipped on Tequila & Coronas while listening to all the trash talk!

Atta Boy Dutch...!!

[Dutchboy]

Since I didn't feel like cooking yesterday, I went to the local ShopRite and got some of their fried chicken.

I made some rice sides & mixed veggies to go with it.

 

[greg_r]

I had a big ole' plate of perch.

 

[SHOOTER13]

Roasted Turkey Club on Wheat Toast with Mayo...and a Sweet Tea.

[SHOOTER13]

[Dutchboy]

Had a fried Spam, lettuce & tomato sandwich with Utz chips:

 

[SHOOTER13]

Fried Spam...a true Americana delicacy.

Check out all the flavors it came in:

Speaking of canned meats...do you remember Underwood Deviled Ham !?

.

 

[Dutchboy]

Heavens yes my friend. Growing up in Philly, I remember all the Devil Ham commercials, especially in the 60's.

I use to spread it on crackers as a snack. I don't think I've had it since!

 

[SHOOTER13]

My Mother would pack it in my grade school lunches sometimes...

but, my favorite lunch time sandwich was always Skippy and Welch's Grape Jelly.

My least favorite was baloney & cheese...which would basically melt in those hot class room "cloak rooms" and taste like I imagine ass would taste like !! :vomit:

If that was packed for my lunch that day...I'd toss it and go hungry rather than eat it !!

LMAO:ROLF: I remember eating those semi melted/hot baloney & cheese sandwiches that we kept in our cartoon character lunch boxes! Heck back then grammar schools didn't have A/C, they just opened the windows!

But back then we didn't seem to mind!

 

[Dutchboy]

Good ole PB & J's, I ate so damn many of them as a kid that by the time I was in Jr. high, I hated them!

This was also one of my favorites growing up in Philly:

I still like them, just not as often, lol.

 

[SHOOTER13]

Yet another delicacy...

Chicken of the Sea White Albacore Tuna packed in OIL...

.

 

[Dutchboy]

Speaking of tuna. I'm sure you remember "Three Diamond Tuna" & that jingle they use to play back in the 60's.

One of my good friends is heir to the Three Diamond Company, & is also from the Philly area who just happened to graduate from " Lasalle College High School", I think in 71. Remember that school?

 

[SHOOTER13]

Yes sir... !!

 

[SHOOTER13]

Linguini & Meatballs in a Chunky Red Pepper Gravy with Parmesan Cheese...and a Cucumber and Cherry Tomato Salad.

.

 

[Dutchboy]

Polished off the last of the fried chicken, rice sides & mixed veggies:

 

[Dutchboy]

Hey buddy, I neglected to mention that I learned something from you yesterday!

When you made reference to the lunch boxes in the"Cloak Rooms" back in grammar school, I learned something.

I always thought they were called "Coat Rooms", because that's where we hung our coats and stuff. But heck, what would I know? I was just a dumb city kid in grade school!

Guess your never too old to learn something, eh!

 

[SHOOTER13]

Our Saint Matthew's RC Nuns called them Cloak Rooms...because they did wear "cloaks" with their habit...not coats.

http://stmatthewmayfair.org/

The 'lay' teachers called them Coat rooms.

Either way it stuck... as it was beat into me !!

A yard stick at a time...

{ Welcome to my Nightmare } :hit head:

.

 

[Dutchboy]

LMAO Buddy!!!

Oh yeah, we forgot to mention that the yard sticks & rulers were also used on the hands inside those rooms!

 

[SHOOTER13]

And they had Boxer & Wrestler names...

Names like Sister Lucia Left Hook... Sister Candice Choke Ya Out...and Sister Paula the Puncher...Sister Salina the Slasher...Sister Mary Mangle You !!

It's a wonder I lived through that prison yard arena...



.

 

[Dutchboy]

Those experiences are long gone, forbidden these days & never to return, however those same experiences are also what made us better persons my friend!

 

[SHOOTER13]

Long gone for you maybe...

It's still the reason I pack a pistol.



.

 

[Dutchboy]

OK buddy, ya lost me on that one?

I was making reference to the discipline with yard sticks & rulers we got back in grammar school as kids!

Unheard of today and i'm not sure if I can make a correlation between that and my love for guns!

 

[SHOOTER13]

The Nuns...I started packin' iron for protection from them... Just joking my friend...hence the "smiley"

Speaking of Dinner...it's THAT time !!

Catch Ya Later...!!
