Cheese Curds Are a Hit with the Crew!



First, let me say that I am happy that everyone is safe.... and keeping their spirits up!!! I hope the rain stops and the water recedes VERY soon!!!!




Well faire was warm but enjoyable.....we did some shopping, some drinking and hanging out. Since it was a light turn out at faire, the crew decided it was time to start the after hours party..... so we set sail for me home port..... We BBQd some of the best meat around and prepared the sides.... while we were waiting, I brought out a bowl full of garlic flavored cheese curds. As I offered one to each crew member, I was asked, "What are those?" "CHEESE CURDS?" "What the *beep* are those?" "You want me to eat what?" "Where do they come from?" How are they made?" I simply smiled and said, "They are garlic flavored cheese curds, they taste great. Try one! And they squeak too!" As they each took one cautiously, smelling them and licking them (wow, they acted like they were poisoned! LOL) they finally got the courage to eat them. Laughter and smiles ensued..... and some squealing, "Mine squeaked!" LMAO!!! It was quite entertaining! I set the bowl down and explained the story of how I was introduced to them by my friends in WI. When I turned around to get one for myself... those buggers!!!! They had eaten them all!!!! POOF!!! The cheese curds were GONE!!!! PIRATES!!!!! LOL..... needless to say, they were a HUGE hit and now the crew is craving the curds......


Here are some of the pics from the evening......


OH NO!!!! Someone has my arms!!! =0P

photoshopped the background away and here ya go!

We finally called it a night about 3:30 am.... those who stayed overnight were up by 8 am. We had a nice relaxing Sunday just chatting and munching on leftovers....

Well thats pretty much it.... off to bed I go..... chat with you all soon!

Take care of you,

Minxie

HAPPY 45TH BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!!!!

~Minxie~ said...

Honestly Vicky, I dont know where JD is.... but I dont think he is in WI today..... funny thing about them sources..... they arent always accurate. ;)

~Minxie~ said...

Ha ha ha Jack... your bathtub isnt big enough to sail a ship of the size for us pirates to sail on.... but good try!!!! No pirate ducks allowed! ;)

-Sir Jack said...

That's one step for man...
Two steps for a cheeky monkey
*toasts the crowd*

Lotus said...

Ok, Sir Jack, I've got to bed for the night. Answer my question please. Are we meeting in Waukesha, dearie?

I think I've been to Waukesha for training. What a ROCKIN' town! What ever happens in Waukesha stays in Waukesha.

Blaznfire911 said...

LOl Minx I know! If I had 'sources" I would have to yell at them!

Sir Jack - it would be oh so nice of you to tell us who ya are!

If you're not associated with PE....then whats the harm? I remember that question being asked before, and you said it would put you in too much "peril"....why would it if your not working on the PE film....hmmmmmmmm

As I said....please tell us who you are, or where you are....my minds a turning!

vicky

~Minxie~ said...

Ok everyone.... its getting late on your end of the world and soon everyone will be dropping like flies.... so if you have a question, give it up now..... cuz it usually takes us a while to get an answer out of ol Sir Jack!

Blaznfire911 said...

LOL Lotus!

that's what I always say!

jack - If you live in Waukesha....maybe we know each other LOL

vicky

Blaznfire911 said...

My question then...

Do you live in Waukesha, or the CLOSE surrounding area?

Vicky

Anonymous said...

It's been fun trying to keep up with you, especially while drying my basement.

It was a little scary to see the water approaching up the driveway in the front and from the neighborhood drainage ditch from the back & side. We were very lucky compared to others. Fix window wells is now on the honey do list.

I hope that the water stays away from everyone else - except you Sir Jack for when you need to sail away.

Cathy

Lotus said...

Blazn, I wish I'd met you on my Waukesha adventure! What a bloody good time we could have 'ad!

Blaznfire911 said...

Hi Cathy!

This flooding is no fun for anyone, but I do like to pop in here and get a good laugh with all the hijinx!!

Take care and be safe!

Vicky

Blaznfire911 said...

I bet we could have Lotus!

Waukesha is not a bad town at all. I love it here!

Maybe you could pop down again one of these days!

Vicky

-Sir Jack said...

Aye Blazn, my mind's a turrrnnning too. I'm running out of rum and me eyes are getting bleary from all the black and white, white and black, blue and white, and orange. The colors are a drippin down my screen. I'm trippin down me screen.

Lotus, yes let's meet in Waukeshau...Waukeesha Mountain, Waukeesha USA. Ho. that's gonna hurt in the morning.

~Minxie~ said...

Cathy.... thanks to lurking with us.... :)

Glad you are ok..... hoping the water stays away from you!!!!

Lotus said...

Sir Jack, can blazn join us? A threesome in Waukesha!

-Sir Jack said...

See you Cathy love, stay dry me hearty!! *waves*

Blaznfire911 said...

LMAO Lotus!

I have nothing to say to that post...speechless....but a good idea! LOL

Lotus said...

Good night all! I'm off to take a little broom ride over Waukesha and maybe spot Sir Jack spankin' his monkey. See you all tomorrow.

Blaznfire911 said...

So Jack.....tis true you live in Waukesha then?

Blaznfire911 said...

LOL Lotus!

vicky

~Minxie~ said...

HUZZAH!!! We have a location for ol Jack!!!!!!

Did it hurt love? Are you ok? Perhaps you, Lotus and Vicky could meet in Waukeshau and party all night long! :D

Osh said...

Jack, first you call me a monkey and now you call Lotus a ho.

You really are a caution.

-Sir Jack said...

Sure Lotus, the more the merrier. I'm sure me crew will want to be meeting you all...
*gets dizzy, wobbles, falls, passes out*

Blaznfire911 said...

LMAO Osh!

So Jack...is it true???

If you do live in waukesha...maybe I know you!

vicky

Lotus said...

Geez, blazn, I hope he's NOT your boss! :0

Blaznfire911 said...

LMAO I wonder....hmmmmmmm

Osh said...

update from Rachel about Michelle in C-bus...
*crying*

Things are not good. She got her valuables out of the house, including the cats today and is waiting for the dam to break. If it does, she is going to not have a home. She is really down so any hugs and love you can send her way, would probably be appreciated. E-biz's hubby won't evacuate so I hope they are doing ok. Michelle talked to her and said that she is in shock also.

Sad, sad, sad.

Lotus said...

Now I don't want to leave, until I get a straight YES from my lord, Sir Jack!

Blaznfire911 said...

Oh no that's terrible Osh!!!!!

My thoughts are with her!!

vicky

-Sir Jack said...

Whha, whaa, waukeship? Wauketon? Wwasservillianton? Oooh what was the name of the town we should party in?
Weird name. That's about all I can remember. Lootuuus.

Blaznfire911 said...

So do you live in Waukesha or not....maybe he is trying to tell you that he lives in Wausaw lotus!

-Sir Jack said...

So sorry for you Michelle, my deepest sympathies love!!

~Minxie~ said...

Osh..... VERY sad!!!! I hope the dam holds up!!! Which dam are the worried about? If you speak to her or Rachel.... please give her my best!!!!! Keeping me fingers crossed and sending some positive energy her way!!!

Lotus said...

Can't live in Wausau, I already asked him if he lived on Lake Wausau. He said no.

cheeky monkey said...

walk a shaw

Lotus said...

Michelle, I will be praying for you.

Blaznfire911 said...

Well then it must be Waukesha!!

Since that is where I live.....I must get to the bottom of this!! LOL

JAck - is it possible that we know each other, and you don't want to say LOL

~Minxie~ said...

Hey if you all are gonna be having a threesome..... I want to see pics!! *wicked smile*

-Sir Jack said...

Uuuuhh. To answer that one straight to the point-I do not live in Waukesha. But it sounds like a great place to plillage, plunder and party!

~Minxie~ said...

He still hasnt answered my question about the body of water...... so Jack...... answer please!

Blaznfire911 said...

Have a good night all!

cheeky monkey said...

*pouts*
i just lets out ofs my cage and now everybodys leaves?

-Sir Jack said...

You've got looong weekends were you come from Lotus. *smiles*

laura said...

hi guys,
Very stressful day in Columbus the Crawfish river is rising my aunt lives down on the river and her basement is full of water they just can't keep up
they are worried about Fall River Dam up higher than c-bus.
They are also worried about the WI river too if too many of the dam's break it could be bad...
Spme people in columbus got evacuated by boat this morning off of River Road- this is part of where the Crawfish River flows.National guard is there also helping out...Say lots of prayers and as far as I know everyone is safe in c-bus and not injuries yet

~Minxie~ said...

Good night Lotus.... sleep well and stay dry.....

Thanks for the fun!!! and the questions!

laura said...

are we any further on the Jack mystery....????

~Minxie~ said...

Laura..... SOOOOOOO glad to hear from you.... I was worried about you. Sorry for your Aunt! They are safe though right?

It seems to just be a chain reaction effect... one dam fails and puts more pressure on others.....

~Minxie~ said...

Well, we found out Jack is lives in WI, we thought Waukeshau, but now he is saying no..... Jack is about 1 mile from a body of water big enough to sail his ship on.....and he has nothing to do with the PE filming so Vicky's idea is shot full of canon ball holes!
I think thats all we have for now...

laura said...

so far no notice of them evacuating...columbus is just a sight
I work in town and the park behind us was flooded it is just amazing in all my years I have never seen anything like this
p.s. I LOVE THE HAT!!!!

~Minxie~ said...

Thanks Laura....*blushes*

In Columbus.... is it flooded as well... like where they were filming? I know that Jenny and Josh had to get out and the parking lot where base camp was is under water.... how about the businesses in town?

~Minxie~ said...

Cheeky.... sorry .... but everyone hits the off switch about 9pm (Cali time) around here..... Maybe your keepers can let you out earlier tomorrow night....

laura said...

The downtown is up higher from where the flooding is, you would be standing down the street to watch the last time they were there filming down By jenny and josh's house.

~Minxie~ said...

Jack love... you still here or did you head down to your quarters for the night?

laura said...

that is where the flooding is(by jenny's and josh's house) (SORRY)
tired brain here looong day

laura said...

Did I scare him away?

-Sir Jack said...

Sigh. I think me work is done for the evening. I wish all me dearies a safe and dry night.
G'night Loves

~Minxie~ said...

Laura~ Got cha! Glad to hear the businesses are ok. Wish there was better news for the everyone else.

My thoughts, prayers and well wishes are with everyone who is being affected in any way!!!!! My heart just aches for everyone......

laura said...
