Patrick Hand Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hey Patrick...were that yer tree posted on noquarter? Me youngun's saw it an want to do sumptin similar next year! Yah..... that was mine..... I spray painted it black.... got a bunch of gold coins and drilled holes through them to hang them... and made sugar skulls. I did a web search for the Mexican Day of the Dead, but didn't have the ingreadeants that were listed, so I experimented..... whiped an egg white, and mixed it with sugar.... made a (sticky) clay like mess that I molded into skulls... they dried hard by the next day.... On New Years Eve, I took the tree outside (after taking everything except the flag off the tree) and attempted to set it on fire.....(no problem with fire hazard.... there was about two feet of snow on the ground...) I had fun trying to light the tree... my neighbors must realy be wondering about me..... but it just wouldn't "catch" If I do it again next year.... I'll use more run (in me) and some gas (on the tree...) get that sucker realy blazing....... figure its a fitting end for a pyrate tree.......

Patrick Hand Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 looks around fer Patrick....Hey how's the rum bread coming? I'm starved! Right now I'm just drinkin the rum and eating the bread..... but I might try it this afternoon when I make another loaf..... A RECIPE Put a good sized dollop of oil In a hot frying pan ... take about two handfulls of the broken tortilla chips from the bottem of the bag and crunch them into little bits, put them in the frying pan and stur them so they kinda soak up most of the oil.... Now scramble two or three eggs in the frying pan with the tortilla chip bits..... Crunchie scrambled eggs...... (I like it with catsup and hot sauce on top.... but that is purly optional....)

I had alla th' ingreadents in the machine...... looked at th' rum..... looked at the ingreadents...... figured.... awh Heck....

Duchess Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I made Guiness pretzels once. They were...a little...solid. I think that is the best description. the Duchess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 They were...a little...solid. Hummmm.... sounds kinda like hardtack......... OH yah..... To make edable hardtack..... About 3 cups of flour some salt..... about 2 tablespoons.... about 3 tablespoons oil (this make them edable) enough water to make a thick claylike dough..... sprinkle flour on th' table..... and roll the dough out to about 1/2" thick.... cut into about 3" x 3" squaires then using a nail... poke a buncha holes in them.... then bake (I think it was about 350.......) untill ........ well hard..... A variation that's even better (I call them Sea buscuits)....... instead of the 3 cups of flour... use about 1 1/2 cups flour, and 1 1/2 cups oatmeal ..... and add about 3 to 4 tablespoons of sugar.... (some molassis makes them even better..... ) and instead of cutting into squairs.... cut out with a cup (or a biscuit cutter if you have one) Make a small batch the first time to see if you like (or can eat them) ..... then make a HUGE batch so they are handy whenever you go a pyratin' ...... they realy do last forever..... I found half of one in my jacket pocket...... and it was still as edable as ever (of course that IS open to some debate........ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
