Damn, I screwed up my reply...

I'll be back with pics.

Lainey

Ok, second attempt.

Thanks for coming. We appreciate you guys being food tasters before we invite the family over for meat pie.

Here are some pics.



Introduced a new guy, Bruce/The Toon into the madness.





Bruce figured out a way to get some cookies and leave Bass with less than the full amount. Bring Lainey some flowers.



Food tasters (Sorry Lynda, your pic was not "fit to print." )











This Tshirt says a lot about our crew:




Best plate yet!



Finished!



Thanks for coming.

Bruce, I appreciate the flowers. Nice thought. Too bad for Steve.

What a great time I had meeting everyone. All of you made me feel right at home, and you folks are just plain fun! Even Bass. And while I will heartily second his and list, I need some time to figure out which was more disconcerting . . . the slalom course on the way down, or the avoidance maneuvers I had to perform on the way back to duck his cigarette butts flying at me at 80 MPH!

Lainey & Rick, thanks so much for your hospitality.

Hope to see you all again soon!

Bass

too funny bruce

now bill about that aupair!!

Great time and great food. Lainey, please ask Rick to post the recipe for meat pie. It was way better than Shepherd's pie. Also, please post the recipe for the scallops...and the rice...and the chocolate thing in a bowl.

Rick and Glenn, good pool games. Sorry to bore you with talk about the site.

BTW Glenn, no problems. That strange maneuver had to do with an internal navigation problem in my car and had nothing to do with you.

Good to meet you Bruce. Welcome aboard. Steve has been shooting butts and people for years. You should feel honored.

Steve, the 20 y/o Aupair might find you a bit...Vintage.

Did I miss something here ????

Lainey

Sorry, buddy. Didn't think you'd drive two hours for meat pie.

Lainey

OK you asked for recipes.

First: The rice. Go to your local Chinese restaurant and ask for an order of Shrimp fried rice.

Meat Pie:

Makes two pies

2 ready made pie crusts (in the dairy section)
2 1/2 pounds ground beet
small onion chopped fine
3 beef boullion cubes in one cup boiling water
1 3/4 Cups Ritz cracker crumbs
1/4 tsp. allspice
pepper to taste

Saute onions in a little oil, add ground beef, cook until brown. Drain ground beef. Add water with boullion cubes cook 1/2 hours. Add crackers and season to taste.

Add filling to pipe crusts, slit the top of the crust, bake at 350 degrees for 3/4 to 1 hour

Easy!

I'll come back later with scallop recipe. That one is mostly in my head. You could be in trouble.

Lainey

Hey Bass,

No thumb up for veggie lasagna?

Too much of a shock to your system was it?

No problem, it's not for everyone.

And no belated allowed.

OK, folks can copy and paste the scallop recipe if they want. This recipe is mostly a dash of this and that, but here's what I used yesterday. Can be used for fish or scallops.

2 lbs. scallops
1 1/2- 1 3/4 cups Ritz cracker crumbs
1/4 cup vegtable oil
2 tablespoons of cooking sherry (I used red)
couple of shakes of Worcestershire sauce
couple shakes of Grated Parmesean cheese
onion powder to taste
pepper to taste

Mix ingredients until cracker crumbs are moist. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water or so. You want the stuffing to kind of "crumble" not too moist.

Spray a pan with "Pam" place fish or scallops in the pan and put the cracker crumb stuffing on top. (You can put a little lemon juice over the top, but not enough to make it too moist). Cover and bake at 350 Degrees about 50 minutes.

You can also add a bit of crabmeat to the stuffing for a good flavor.
