sounds more like some good old fashioned terrorist enabling to me.

Just had a bowl of Breyer's vanilla ice cream with chocolate Magic Shell. Yep, that's right. Magic Shell.20 years later, that stuff is still awesome.

Yeah, but Breyer's tastes like chalk.

:( Worst texture of any ice cream out there. It's supposed to be creamy, not gritty.

It was what we had in the freezer. Am certainly open to suggestions.

How was everyone's weekend? Me? Oh, I did some yardwork, looked at porn, signed up an account at Match.com, did laundry, looked at more porn, oh and I also thwarted a possible terrorist attack which probably saved the lives of thousands Americans. You're welcome.I'll expand on the terrorist attack because it's probably not entirely true. Thanks to the gift of divorce, I've been working a 2nd job on weekends driving a shuttle van to and from the airport for limousine company. I hate it, but I need the cash. So last night, I swing thru the airport and pick up a few people going to different hotels and as I'm ready to leave the airport, I see a guy running up to the van waving his hands at me. So I stop and get out to open the door for him and take his luggage, the guy seemed to be middle eastern. All he had was a small plastic bag (like a grocery bag) and he told me that was it, no other luggage. My first thought was good, less work for me to do. So he gets on the van and exchanges "hello's" with the other passengers. Seemed like a nice guy, definitely had an accent but his english wasn't too bad. After a couple minutes of driving, it gets very silent in the van and no one is talking. For some reason it drives me nuts when no is talking. So I was trying to come up with anything that would get everyone talking, I brought the weather and how their flights were. Everyone said their flights were fine and that they'd probably be here for about a week on business. The middle eastern guy says he flew in from India and that he will be here for 2 weeks. Now we have awkward silence again. So I look at the middle eastern guy and I thought it was odd that he would be here for 2 weeks and not have any luggage. So in an effort to create conversation (figuring the airline lost his luggage) I said to him "so you're here for 2 weeks and you don't have any luggage?" I couldn't understand what his reply was but he laughed and the guy next to him laughed. Then he said to me, "yeah that would be weird to be here for 2 weeks with no clothes" so I joked that we could stop at a Mall for him if he wanted, which drew polite laughter for everyone. So the middle eastern guy gets dropped off first and then the guy that was sitting next to him says to me "wow, that was like a movie scene the way you asked him about his luggage" Which I didn't fully understand at first. Then he told the other passengers how he saw a documentary about terrorists and how terrorist/suicide bombers will arrive with in the US with no luggage because they dont' want any kind of evidence to link them to anything and they know they will die during their attack anyways, so they don't need extra clothes. He said he could tell that the middle eastern guy was nervous when I asked about his luggage. Now, I wish I could claim that I knew about this terrorism crime fighting and that was the reason why I asked him about his luggage, but honestly, I was just trying to break the silence and thought his luggage got lost by the airline. I never thought the guy was terrorist. But you can bet your butt I told those passengers that "yep, I been doing this a long time and I know how to spot the bad guys". So sleep well America... Gadzooks is watching out for you!!!!

I'm not following how you thwarted anything. Do you think because they chatty cathy shuttle driver asked him a question that made him nervous, he called off the whole plot?BTW, I hate when cab drivers/shuttle drivers, etc feel the need to make small talk. Just get me where I'm going Jeeves, if I want to talk to you, I'll strike up the conversation.

[General Malaise]

Here's an example of why I'm dumber than the rest of you.

On Saturday, I purchased 1/2 pound of fresh Dungeness Crab from the Farmers Market while my wife was off looking for onions, corn and potatoes to throw into the crawfish boil we planned for that night with my sister and her family. Despite being a vegetarian, my wife LOVES fresh crab and would eat it every day right out of the shell if money were no option and she didn't care about her health. So while she was off searching for produce life-rafts for the mudbugs on their quick journey to heaven, I bought the crab meat and surprised her with it upon her return. She was, predictably, very excited and we planned to center our childless Sunday night dinner around the delicious meat.

Sunday comes and after dropping the boys off to their mom, we headed to the Clackamas River with two camping chairs, two books, snacks and a cooler full of ice cold beer. It was a glorious day on the river, watching bikini clad gals raft past us for hours, sipping cold nectar and reading. As we packed up, our thoughts turned to the crab meat and just what we'd do with it that night for dinner. I told her - "FEAR NOT! LEAVE THIS TO ME" - and made our way back home with the cool confidence of Chef Ramsey.

Now my wife is half Italian (the good half) and was making pasta before she could walk. She makes the majority of our food, but once in a while, I feel the need to take the reins and treat her to night of relaxation. Now I'm no Mr. Krista, but I can hold my own in the kitchen and have gotten much much much better since I divorced. When we got home, I began to think of ideas for how to cook the crab and after about 2 seconds of thought realized that I really didn't have anything more than dip fresh crab meat into cocktail sauce and enjoy. I wanted to do better than that and so I did what any red blooded male looking to get laid would do - I went to the internet.

Yes, friends, I turned to the Google and when I did, I found something that both intrigued my mind and enticed my stomach. What I stumbled upon looked like something out of the pages of a Shuke wet dream - The Crab Pretzel. That's right, it's a crab mixture topped over a large soft pretzle covered with shredded cheese and baked to perfection. I told her about my idea and she was game for it, though to be fair, we had just finished a joint and perhaps her appetite and excitement for crab deflected the fact that one of the main ingredients in this dish is one that both us generally disdain and try to avoid - Mayonnaise. Yuck. As a stand alone, I think it's gross and don't know why it's so popular. But I can tolerate it if it's in something and thought - foolishly - that the rest of the ingredients (chopped onions, minced garlic, Tabasco, cream cheese, horseradish, pepper, Old Bay) would mellow out the taste of mayo. Boy, was I wrong.

Now, these weren't bad. In fact, I ate 2 LARGE pretzels, covered in sharp cheddar cheese with big lumps of crab meat and enough seasoning to make it interesting. But the mayo was sooooooooooooooooooooooo heavy and I could tell my poor wife was disappointed. She was kind and nice and ate most of hers, but considering she would have preferred to eat it plain, I could tell she was bummed that her crab had been overly mayonnaised.

So the moral is, if the first ingredient of a dish you find on Google is one you despise, it's probably not going to turn out so well. Most people....they probably understand that. Not me, though. I had to learn the hard way. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a hot stove to put my hand on.

sounds like your Sunday night was about as good as mine...girlfriend decided that last night would be perfect to "self-clean" the oven. First day in NYC in 2 months cool enough to open the windows, so she took the chance to self- clean the oven for the first time (despite my protestations). Half our in, she's freaking out because it was too hot in the kitchen. 45 minutes in she bails on watching it and tells me to(great). Another half our later, the smells so bad I turn it off after the apartment neighbors complain. At least I have a half cleaned oven to put my head in.

I hit a golf ball into a moving car this weekend. I am confident that it will forever be the greatest shot I ever hit. Right in the backseat of some young dude's Sentra while he had his radio blaring. He never even stopped. It was a beautiful sight.

There's a course I play out in the sticks where the rednecks think it's funny to blare the car(truck) horn as they pass by 3 holes along the road. I've never been able to time it right, but this post gives me hope to continue trying. I always tee an extra ball up on the side of the 2 applicable tee boxes while we are teeing off for the one day I make a successful strike. Yes, if you hear a crazy story ending with a guy getting shot at a local golf course near Birmingham, AL, it's probably going to be me.

As an Italian, she should have smacked you upside the head for putting cheese on shellfish.

I can't get on board with most of these creamy seafood salad types of things. I feel that if it's the quality of seafood that you need to smother in mayo or other condiments, it's not anything I really want to eat.

I want to be clear that my shot was in no way intentional. I was about 35 yards from the pin and was trying to blast out of a trap. I either caught it clean and/or bladed it and it went about 85 yards in the air. The best part was when I hit it, there was no car in sight. About when the ball reached its apex, the little booming Sentra came around the bend, and as the ball started its decline, my brother said, "is that gonna hit that..." BONK!

I don't think I'd ever boil crabs in a crab boil if I was making a recipe like the one you described. Boiling crabs = eat out of the shell. Stuffed crab, crab cakes, etc. = lump crabmeat from a can.

I don't know if I'd try it on a pretzel, but crabmeat stuffing is pretty easy to make, has no mayo, and is very tasty.

This is what I do for stuffed grouper (looked up another recipe online to get an idea on amounts for ingredients which I usually don't measure):

Pound of crab meat

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup celery chopped

1 cup green pepper chopped

Garlic clove, chopped (I usually do more)

butter (recipe I used for amounts said, "1 cup," but I use more)

bread crumbs

2-4 eggs

Parsley chopped

Lump crabmeat is already cooked (I assume all of it anyway, but read to be sure). Saute the veggies in the butter until onions just start to turn translucent, but throw the garlic in a little towards the end. Fold all ingredients in a large bowl. WALA I guess at this point, you'd put the stuffing on top of the pretzel to heat in the oven.

I think I usually just do 1 part each on onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cajuns call this the "trinity."

I also spice it up A LOT more than just adding pepper. Cayenne, Tony Chachere's, Old Bay, Cavenders... any of these would work great as would many spices/mixtures from Penzey's if you have one of those nearby. Turkish seasoning from there is my new "go to" at the moment as I've been putting it on everything.

One more thing. I use bread crumbs out of a can, but you can make your own, softer bread crumbs by crushing up regular croutons and adding it to the sauted veggies at the end, softening them up. Prolly need more butter there and why I mentioned "more" earlier.

Ugh... I had blocked that out. Shtick would have been HUGE at Melly's country club. Sorry.

I should have broken that paragraph up a little better for my Alabama friends. One of the vendors at the market was selling crawfish he pulled out of the Columbia River. As it was getting close to the end of the day (meaning these guys are willing to deal) I made him an offer for all the crawfish he had (which was about 20 or so) and got a great deal. Of course, the kids who were playing with them weren't too happy with the white haired man who was about to kill their new toys, but so be it. I bought the crab separately and for another night.

The crawfish turned out fantastic. Brought a bunch of beer and Old Bay to a boil, tossed in the corn, onions, potatoes and some habenero sausage. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Gotcha. Don't worry about the kids. They can't be scarred nearly as much as the ones in this story:

Roommate in college had a 13' burmese python. We always struggled to find food because large rabbits were $10 and smaller bunnies were $20. It took 2 bunnies to feed the snake correctly and 4 times as much in cost as 1 large rabbit. I'm not sure if there's an actual, technical difference between bunnies and rabbits, but that's how we would differentiate in conversation. Anyway, one week we learned that the flea market fairly close to the college regularly had what we wanted: large rabbits for $10. One Saturday, we made our way over there, purchased a large rabbit, and as my friend handed the woman the $10, I heard her ask, "So, do you have a place to keep him set-up?" or some similar question which would imply this thing would be alive longer than the travel time home... and also because she had nice rabbit pens for sale in the booth next door. Instead of lying to the woman and giving us a couple of months of buying rabbits before she figured it out, my buddy says, "Nah, we're just going to feed it to the snake." Kids crying, the fat woman screaming at us... we pretty much ran to the truck and never dared attempting it again. Imagine two 21 year old college aged dudes running through a flea market with a fat woman in a mumu dress yelling at the top of her lungs while she waddled in pursuit, one of the guys carrying a 15 pound rabbit in a mesh box, and the other one trying to slow down her 5 kids in hot pursuit, tears streaming down their faces. It was quite a day.

The guy who told us about it was none too happy either as she finally figured out his intentions as well.

Me too. At first, I felt like I have been missing out on this incredible food item my entire life. But then I wondered what kind of whacked out plastic technology they used to make it feeze in seconds. And I have decided that it prolly causes SuperAIDSCancer so I think I'll pass on trying it.

BTW, I always get Breyers and Dreyers mixed up? Which one is teh suck?

Have you never had a dip cone from DQ???? Oh my god...those are pure heaven, I don't care what they put in them to harden the chocolate. It could be lead for all I care.

Sadly, no. I was raised by communist muslims and only recently discovered delicious mayonnaise lettuce wraps.

Please validate everything I know to be true and tell me this is simply mayo smeared on lettuce.

I hit a golf ball into a moving car this weekend. I am confident that it will forever be the greatest shot I ever hit. Right in the backseat of some young dude's Sentra while he had his radio blaring. He never even stopped. It was a beautiful sight.

There's a course I play out in the sticks where the rednecks think it's funny to blare the car(truck) horn as they pass by 3 holes along the road. I've never been able to time it right, but this post gives me hope to continue trying. I always tee an extra ball up on the side of the 2 applicable tee boxes while we are teeing off for the one day I make a successful strike. Yes, if you hear a crazy story ending with a guy getting shot at a local golf course near Birmingham, AL, it's probably going to be me.

If I had to guess I would say oak mountain state park. On the par 5 fourth hole, I sliced my second shot badly and hit an oncoming van. Luckily it hit the grill and not the windshield. Scared me as I thought he was going to lose control. He never did stop though (it was a crappy looking work van)

Here's an example of why I'm dumber than the rest of you.

I purchased 1/2 pound of fresh Dungeness Crab to throw into the crawfish boil

I'm going to read further, but I believe your problem started here.

I should have broken that paragraph up a little better for my Alabama friends. One of the vendors at the market was selling crawfish he pulled out of the Columbia River. As it was getting close to the end of the day (meaning these guys are willing to deal) I made him an offer for all the crawfish he had (which was about 20 or so) and got a great deal. Of course, the kids who were playing with them weren't too happy with the white haired man who was about to kill their new toys, but so be it. I bought the crab separately and for another night.

The crawfish turned out fantastic. Brought a bunch of beer and Old Bay to a boil, tossed in the corn, onions, potatoes and some habenero sausage. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Gotcha. Don't worry about the kids. They can't be scarred nearly as much as the ones in this story:

Roommate in college had a 13' burmese python. We always struggled to find food because large rabbits were $10 and smaller bunnies were $20. It took 2 bunnies to feed the snake correctly and 4 times as much in cost as 1 large rabbit. I'm not sure if there's an actual, technical difference between bunnies and rabbits, but that's how we would differentiate in conversation. Anyway, one week we learned that the flea market fairly close to the college regularly had what we wanted: large rabbits for $10. One Saturday, we made our way over there, purchased a large rabbit, and as my friend handed the woman the $10, I heard her ask, "So, do you have a place to keep him set-up?" or some similar question which would imply this thing would be alive longer than the travel time home... and also because she had nice rabbit pens for sale in the booth next door. Instead of lying to the woman and giving us a couple of months of buying rabbits before she figured it out, my buddy says, "Nah, we're just going to feed it to the snake." Kids crying, the fat woman screaming at us... we pretty much ran to the truck and never dared attempting it again. Imagine two 21 year old college aged dudes running through a flea market with a fat woman in a mumu dress yelling at the top of her lungs while she waddled in pursuit, one of the guys carrying a 15 pound rabbit in a mesh box, and the other one trying to slow down her 5 kids in hot pursuit, tears streaming down their faces. It was quite a day.

The guy who told us about it was none too happy either as she finally figured out his intentions as well.

lolI don't want to look like a weirdo. I'll just go with the muumuu.

Alpine Bay. Not exactly Birmingham, but my dad lives out there and I play it regularly.

I would pay non-matinee movie price fare to have witnessed this live.

I wish Mrs. JTG gave out awards. She just call me a drunk.

As an Italian, she should have smacked you upside the head for putting cheese on shellfish.I can't get on board with most of these creamy seafood salad types of things. I feel that if it's the quality of seafood that you need to smother in mayo or other condiments, it's not anything I really want to eat.

I once had a crab meat club melt with cheese and bacon that is among the top 5 sandwiches I've ever eaten.

BTW, on Friday, a buddy of mine asked me to go to the casino with him Saturday night but I declined. My head still hurt and I didn't feel like drinking. Mrs. SLB says she "heard" about it and was shocked I didn't want to go. Meh.

Saturday rolls around and her and the boys need to leave for a couple of hours for a surprise for me. I wasn't sure if them leaving was the surprise or if the boys getting their picture taken was the surprise.

Of course Cal cracked immediately upon arriving home.

Me: Where were you?

Cal: It's a surprise.

Me: You sure are dressed nicely.

Cal: That was for the pictures.

Me: Pardon?

Cal: You didn't hear anything.

Me: I thought I heard..

Cal: You didn't hear anything.

Me: Alright.

Then Mrs. SLB says that was only part of my gift.

I'm so ####ed.
