Hi Kathy. Are you sure it was its shadow and not Jack's?

Yeah, Kris talked about the potluck last week. On Bill Murray Weekend here in HV.
*Slices eggs while Uncle D takes care of the onions for our salad.

Sal Minella: I don' know, but ya' look awful sharp. ;D

Link Hogthrob: No. I see grey.

Annie Sue: *giggle* ^.^

Sal Minella: Oooh... O:3 *picking Johnny's hair*

Johnny Fiama: *shoos Sal* 'Ey. Stop that. Linda!

Linda Mezzo: Honey... ? What's wrong?

Johnny Fiama: Be honest with me, doll-face... I'm not agin'... am I?

Linda Mezzo: Honey... you look dashing no matter what. C'mere. *kisses Johnny on the cheek* <3 ;*

Hi Kathy. Are you sure it was its shadow and not Jack's?

Yeah, Kris talked about the potluck last week. On Bill Murray Weekend here in HV.

Yep..it was Puxatawney Phil's shadow.
Uncle D..here's a little help for you about the onions so you don't get teary eyed while preparing them. Do it under the cold water.

 

[The Count]

Hmm, thought he and Jack had this deal where the shadow would show up, even when there's no sun out to cast a shadow for six more weeks of winter.
UD: Cold water? Hmm, I heard you should put them in the freezer for up to half an hour before working with them. Oh well, thanks for the tip.
*Ed rips up a full head of cabbage's leaves for the salad's first layer.
Decided to substitute lettuce for cabbage to give it a crunch.
*UD adds the onions, followed by green peas.
*Ed hands him the taziki instead of mayo, since that's what mom uses for all her salads now.
*Next come the eggs, meaty bacon pieces, and snowing of parmesan cheese.
*Ed puts the bowl in the fridge to let it sit.

While washing up... Now if I could find a group of ten little monsters to add, we'd have that and the suit of bats finished off.

Interesting salad...I don't eat eggs so I'll have to pass...but I'm sure my roomies will love it.

Rhonda: Oh heck yeah. So what are YOU making?

Hmm...I think I'll put together some empanaditas, but I'll need help. They're easiest to make assembly-line style. If I make the sauce, would you guys help with the dough and filling the little pies?

Rhonda: Do I get to taste-test each batch? Then sure.

Uh...I can reheat things...and make coffee...

Trust me, Newsie, the dough is the easy part. Get up here and start mixing. Then you knead, let it rise, knead again...

That sounds terribly kneady.

Cute. Cute joke. A plaid apron??

Well, uh, I don't want to get stains on my dress shirt...I do have the news to read tonight, you know...

Er, you mean empanadillas? When Mom makes them, she usually fills one batch with pizza stuffings (tomato sauce, actual string-grade mozzarella, and pieces of chorizo) and a second batch which she constantly tries to recreate a version from her youth made with guava paste fruit filling.

Seven-Layer Salad's been a signature of my family's as far back as I can remember.
UD: Hexcuse me, I need to check on the fries. *Goes to see if they've finished oven baking with some of the chopped onions and bacon left over after fixing the salad.

Kelly (is in Angie's bathroom)

Cotterpin (to Wrench): Ugh. How many hours has it been?

Wrench (looks at watch): Three. *pauses* Cotterpin? I'm confused.

Cotterpin: Okay.

Wrench: If it's called car sickness, why is it the driver, not the car, who's sick?

Cotterpin: Humans are just weird that way. They get a bit confused when it comes to vehicles. It's like they become the vehicle or something. It's very metaphysical for humans to get behind a wheel and press pedals.

Wrench: Ah.

Kelly (comes out all pale-looking): Angie? I, uh, I'm gonna take a raincheck. Too much driving --.

Cotterpin: -- too much barbecue --.

Kelly: -- and I think I need more time. I need the blood to come back to my face. *gets dizzy and sits down*

 

[LinkiePie<3]

Angie: Aw, Kelly... may I get you somethin'? A glass of water?

Link Hogthrob: *groans* ... is the Little Boy's room available... ? I... really need to go!

Angie: Yes, Link. -_-

Link Hogthrob: *fleets to the bathroom* Ah. Thanks!

Angie: I'll give you room service 'till you feel better, Kelly. <3

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (drinks the glass of water): Whew. I dunno WHAT that was....

Cotterpin: Freebies? Score!

Wrench: Cotterpin, we live in Doozer Dome. We don't use money.

Cotterpin: Outer Space has waaaaay cooler stuff. There are only so many varieties of pellets a Doozer Dame can take, y'know.

Wrench (nods in amazement): I see.

Kelly (lies on the couch): Thanks, Angie. I'm feeling better, actually. Must've been something I ate this morning.

 

[LinkiePie<3]

Angie: Glad you're feeling better, Kelly.

Link Hogthrob: ... any plans for tonight... ?
