BilliesDarlin

I thank ye both, for the fine birthday greetings... a fine day it was... still a celebratin', don'tcha know!

Aye! so ye see the dilemma i'm havin here, wonderin what a darlin's to do campin with him again... but down at PiP this time, mind ye! will he only b'spoonin me?! altho, i must say ~ he's the one here bein spooned! remember...tis KEY WEST..... ... .... That is the the other end of Duval Street. so ye sayin then that that's where i should be lookin for me billie if he comes up missin from camp?!

and ME fyne scarlett scarf wrapped about his fyne head... helpin him to keep dreamin about his darlin!

oo... billie ~ i would say ye just got served!

is that our own 'Nick' on the left, walking away from the camera?! way t'make us proud, maddogge! Well spotted!! Tis indeed our Nick and Finn be on the Dogge's other side. They had just finished firing and were retiring to the rear to reload. The tall chap in the black cocked hat dead center is Maddogge's newest recruit...Gnat... As usual the crewe did an excellent job both here in Beaufort and at Pike. My hat is off to ye all. Splendid!! (i live for details, don'tcha know! ) and not bad for gnat's premier--somethin' t'take home & make his parents proud, i'm sure! (gnat...what a great name, btw! do we want t'know how he came upon it?!)

uuuuummmm, yes brig, i'm a "wee bit" (pun intended on "wee") disturbed by billie's smilin' as uuummm, i know personally what brings him to smile as such when he's been in me company... unfortunately, i arrived late on the scene & didn't witness what happened just prior to the picture being taken... no tellin' how long they'd all been on the blanket together...

i wanna be 1st in line next time for the coffee ground reading...watched it, but didn't get t'sip it! arabic, if you pleeeease..?

Aye! so THIS explains why billie had no energy for me the last night & went to bed early!

LOVED 'EM, Patrick!! I'm thinkin ye should be workin on a pyrate perpetual desk calendar. I laughed me *ss off readin 'em and couldn't wait till the next one! (if yer not already published) Course, i am drinkin a margarita as i speak this, but truly, i think yer onta somethin here! :angry:

Animal, that sounds fantastic! Has a feast like anything of this sort been carried out at PiP? I cannot imagine much that would be more fitting! I, too, have been fortunate to partake in meal of slow-roasted pig... It was while living for a summer in the mountain range on Cebu island, Philippines. Even watched the locals slit the throat & drain him, etc. He was cooked w/fish & tropical fruits...a delicious & aromatic meal! What would be different this time is the mandatory imbibing!! Count me in!! I'd be happy to bring the ferns & palm leaves!

You're most welcome! From what I can see, even tho I own a couple cast iron dutch ovens; one w/legs even, neither of mine has a lid that would hold coals on it very well--they're both somewhat sloped. Coals on top appear to be important for even & timely cooking. I have seen other dutch ovens that actually have a flat lid & probably a 1" rim around the edge to keep the coals on. Guess I'll be looking for either another oven, or extra lids as my ovens are 2 different sizes. Anyone have other suggestions for this?
