Sandwich Party

This is really not my fault. I can't help it if I'm surrounded with wonderful cooks who like to get together so I can enjoy marvelous food every Monday. Nor can I help it that it's the holiday season, and lots more wonderful things will be coming my way. And I really can't help it that JAG and Elsa decided to throw an on-line sandwich party this weekend.

I really intended to go get ingredients and put together something, but after seeing the chip butty and ham-and-mac-and-cheese, not to mention other wonderful concoctions, I realized I was outclassed and so opted out in favor of a local delicacy.

Hungry Hillbilly Sub Sandwich

This is a Hungry Hillbilly. Made with care by Charley so I could take the perfect photo, this stately sandwich is comprised of turkey, ham, American cheese (of course),bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. I usually skip the tomato, except for when they are in season locally, and I generally have the lovely girls at Poor Farmer's Market, where this sandwich is created, add onion. This sandwich is probably better heated, but I like it fine cold.

Perfect meal

There is some debate among the natives as to the perfect accompaniment to a Hungry Hillbilly. I generally go for Lay's Sour Cream and Onion potato chips, while others prefer BBQ or even Salt and Vinegar. Today I chose Frito's Original Corn chips, because Dad had some last night and I've been wanting them ever since. Liquid refreshment is also varied, with everything from Bud Light (but not at the store), white or red wine and bottled water enjoyed with the sub. Carbonation is generally preferred; I like a good old Diet Dr. Pepper. And I have to read my current book while I'm enjoying my meal.

So now I'm going to go enjoy my sandwich, since blogging the same has taken longer than eating it will!

For good or ill, the BITWRATHPLOOB has just been added to the mysteries of Meadows of Dan. My landlord has already noticed the magnet....

Playing with Choking Hazards

Supplicant rabbit threatened by aggressive cockatoo

Trouble in tiny Paradise (on top of my computer, usually) as new cockatoo tries to take over the camel herd from the oogle and rabbit shepherds.

(delightful gift from JAG, sent by way of her terrific Dad, along with another camel! Many thanks!)

What's Your Sign?

New Sign!
I love my sign!

(And yes, I know the sign painter didn't use the preferred spelling of "Collectibles". But he's over six feet tall and covered with tattoos. If he says Collectables it's fine by me.)

Choking Hazards

JAG started a new photo group at Flickr, all about "Completely irresistible and irresponsible small things - mostly toys - that children (and dogs, and even the occasional adult) would be unable to keep from putting in their mouths. Look at this as a sort of public service announcement." Who doesn't love small things, but these folks are obsessed with them. Don't miss the discussions in the comments and the notes on the photos!

And I don't even know what this is about, but go on over, 'cause it's going to be something, I think, and you want to be a part of it!

Edited May 17 PM to add:

I just realized that Memorial Day weekend is coming up, and so is the Hit and Miss in the Mountains Festival here in Meadows of Dan. Y'all come out and see us!

And also check in at the Lonesome River Band web site. They have some awesome videos on the site from their recent show in Canada!
