Comments: Oh Venison...Sharon, my GF would bring home a deer every year and we always got some.. The venison roast was oh so good...!
Comments: I remember watching my dad skin a squirrel and mother making stew (which I did not eat). Also, when visiting cousins in East Texas, my aunts always wrung the chicken's necks. I learned how to cut up a chicken by watching them. I ate domestic rabbit while in Germany back in '69 and it was considered a delicacy. It was good, but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't known what it was. I use to enjoy venison chili but don't have many friends that deer hunt any more.
Comments: Wow....! What an 'exhortation' Sam... Get that 'patented'...! Charlotte...what happened..? Don't know.. ***I missed Tom's 'Boomer' thing, again..That's the 2nd time they've run that thing.. Well, I've kinda got the facts, the history down... since I've lived it..Maybe they'll run it again..  Probably will, they run everything else..10,000..times..
Comments: Apparently Doctor's offices and health insurance companies are getting inundated with calls from people wondering where they sign up for free health care. In perfect Pavlovian lockstep, just the mere mention of entitlements will generate more motion than those people looking for another "freebie" are used to. That'll probably lead to more stress, more heart attacks, certainly more anxiety. Everyone just be quiet and don't tell them they have Medicaid right now. Expending a little energy looking for a new entitlement will mean that the couch in front of the TV will last a little longer, until we get the free furniture issues worked out. Anyone got a spare possum or squirrel they could donate?
Comments: What happened? Oh my!!!
Comments: Ginger, Tom Brokaw did a special on the Boomers tonight. The WWll generation is considered by some to be the Greatest Generation followed by our generation. I thought former President Bill Clinton made some good points by stating some of our generation's accomplishments. We were the richest, most educated generation in history. We tried to make the world a better place and we had such high expectations for ourselves. We all loved our country and wanted what was best for America. I sometimes wonder what happened to all those well-meaning people.
Comments: Oh...so many 'chicken' memories...and a few hogs, too. We're a passing 'breed' aren't we...? Not many of the younger generations..have seen chickens run around the yard without heads.. They say our generation has seen a lot... I think so... 
Comments: Barry, some of my first memories involve my grandparents' farm in Town Creek, Alabama. Granny asked me which chicken I liked, and I told her the pretty little speckled one. What a surprise to see this little bitty woman grab that hen by the neck and spin her around a time or two. I was three or four, and I was devastated. I was warned to keep out of the hog pen, but I stuck my foot through the fence and a boar grabbed my shoe. Had to ride the train back to Texas with one shoe, hearing all the way, "Did you learn anything from that?" Hmmm....no, not really.
Comments: Ah, fond memories. My mother raised chickens when I was a kid. Even though I went to SOC, we lived in Fruitdale and my parents enjoyed the back to nature lifestyle. Once a year, we would have a chicken killing day. My Mom would cut their heads off with a hatchet (she was very squeamish and had a hard time doing it). Her mother, who lived with us would pick them up by the head and pop their head off. There were chickens running all around the yard with no head. My Mom sold eggs to make some money. We also raised pigs and bovines. I know this is hard to picture, but Suzanne Darnell (cousin) and I would get in the pig pen and always got in trouble. The pig pen was off limits because they were a tad mean. Thanks for bringing the fond memories back to life! We're stii trying to catch our squirrel to take her to the vet.
Comments: Hi, Charles Richey. Nice to see you here. Please come back often.
Comments: I had a tutor' student in wonderful scenic Frayser, where the drivebys can be daily occurrences. I'm finished with that job but the student's GM served me some rabbit before I left..The last time I had rabbit, I was about 4 and it was the 'Harrod' side of my family that went hunting and fishing a lot.. The rabbit was okay...I would refuse squirrel unless I was starving... I did meet a man, (can't remember whether it was Nashville or Austin), that enjoyed killing cats with his truck, gun, etc..He was not a friend and I don't think he ate them...he was just mean as a snake...! There are those people...out there..in any state that are like that...I try to stay away from them.. I've only cleaned one fish when my little son caught it at a Tn State Park, one Thanksgiving.. I stood by my GM in North Oak Cliff when I was 3-4 yrs old and watched her 'ring' the chicken's neck then clean the feathers, dress the chicken (for dinner) etc. No Roadkill...but the phrase 'acting like a chicken with it's head cut off'...comes to mind.. Oh my gosh...this is disgusting..It's beginning to sound like that 62 site..!  (Aren't you glad I shared..? It's Sam's fault...)
Comments: Whew! Got past that email address issue. Now let me clear out all those spams that came as a result of posting here. Hummm, maybe I would have gotten them anyway. I'll never know. Oh well. Just tuning in to the Julia Childs Road Kill Cooking Hour. Somehow the theme song from "Deliverance" comes to mind every time I get on here. Ginger, surely you've got some little delicacy to add. You're in Tennessee, for heaven's sake. Or Charlotte, down there in the south Texas pastures, or is that Steamboat, or New York? Gotta have some good road kill recipes in New York City. This is good stuff, and thank goodness we're back to the Women's Forum. Holy cow, what am I doing here. Bye!
Comments: When we moved from our house in Garland years ago, we sold the house to a retired cooking teacher. I just knew she would whip up all manner of lovely dishes in my kitchen. One day I went there to retrieve some mail from her, and saw a big pot simmering on the range. She said her son Waldo had shot some squirrels in the yard, and she was making squirrel stew. I declined her invitation to join her and Waldo for dinner.
Comments: Hi, Charles Richey. Great to see you here posting! Why don't you and James Potter and wives join us for our luncheon on May 1st? Go to the events page and you can get all the information. It would be great having ya'll join us. It is a hugh group of SOCietes. Lots of different classes this time.
Comments: Speaking of road kill. Someone ran over a opossum about a block from our house this morning. Then, we were driving down Creekmere which has a creek on one side of the road and we saw a rather skinny raccoon iimping along. I told my husband our neighborhood isn't very kind to wild life. I like to see these animals, but some people try to kill them with their cars which is so mean. Maybe, the coyotes will go after them.
Comments: The only 'questionable' messages that I get are from FB... There's some people that I haven't met that come up..There's some 'young people' that I haven't met that come up as 'friend suggestions'. There are 'psychics' that send me messages..I'm not shopping for psychics...I don't need to do that..I know some in Memphis that advertise as 'psychics'..if I really wanted to pay money for that and I don't.. Those 'unknown' people that send messages on FB, can't get my email address, either.. I have emailed people from the Adamson 63 site and it doesn't give out emails, either... If they choose to email me and give their address, well that's fine..I do the same.. I think we are basically 'safe' on this site..other than people being entertained by what we say... G... 
Comments: JS: I don't have any recipes, but I have a trap out to catch our squirrel so we can take her to a rehabilitator. If I catch a possum, racoon, or even better yet, a skunk, I will ship it to you and you can have it for dinner. So keep an eye out for a shipment from me. Kindest regards......
Comments:  Whew. Thank you, Sandy. You have all this figured out, you little Lancaster Road Scholar, you!
Comments: Lynell & the rest of the '63 poster. I can speak from experience, as I have used this same GB on our '66 site for more than 3 yrs. If you put your em add here, rest assured, no can see it or obtain your actual em add!! When someone clicks on your Blue Email icon it brings up an email form so an em can be sent to you. But in no way does it reveal your add. If you get an email from anyone (scam or otherwise) simply delete it or block it. The only way they can send you another em is by going back to the GB & using the icon, unless you reply to their email. . . then they will have it. But if you reply to a scam or unwanted email, well . . . maybe you shouldn't be using em as you don't quiet have the concept!  This GB is one of the safest I've seen and never have any of us recvd any scam emails, unless of course you count Southworth's emails! If you have any doubt, try it. Click on anyone's email and see what you get. Just thought I'd give you some piece of mind as this GB is always fun to read.
Comments: Hello everyone it has been along time
Comments: A poster here received a scam e-mail. Their e-mail address was apparently obtained from this guestbook. Please note that adding your e-mail address in order to post is now optional.
Comments: You guys are beginning to sound like a Men's Forum...That's what Sam calls this site when the women are holding long, long conversations..The Women's Forum.. I don't think I would eat Squirrel.. John's just trying to 'rattle your brains' with these Squirrel Recipes..Barry ( I forgot how to spell your name..?). Probably this Lent 'thing' did something for John.. Take awhile to assess the situation..Observe how he 'acts' on this website..See if it makes a difference. Of course, JS would say to me that I needed to do something for Lent..I did sing a 'bunch' of songs in the Chancel Choir for Lent.. They even made us sing the Hallelujah Chorus for the Benediction, Sunday Morning.. Okay...Sam...continue on with the Men's Forum 'thingy'... ! Soldier On..as they say.....
Comments: Was little Johnny gone?
Comments: Sam: Johnny has definitely been spending too much time with Farouk. They're trying to put the final touches on the neon lights they installed under their cars and trying to get the pinstripes to match. The proportions are all off when one car is a Miata and the other is a Town Car.
Comments: Barry, that was thoughtful of Johnny. He has a sort of Beverly Hillbillie's approach to road kill. Never know where your next meal is coming from. We just refer to them here as pesky tree rats. (I'll keep an eye out for some possums Cuz)
Comments: What? Southworth's back? Just to show you what kind of person he really is-I still can't believe he did this. For those of you following posts last week, you remember that I was asking about taking care of our injured squirrel. Well, little Johnny, concerned and supportive as always, e-mailed me some recipes for cooking squirrel! This is our almost faithful pet that we have fed in our laps for over a year. We've watched her offspring reach adulthood and Johnny wants us to have her for dinner?! I don't know what to say....................
Comments: Good thing you put on your last name, Cousin Johnny. Otherwise, "John" plus "The Woodlands" would not have been enough to identify you, and you would be classified as an anon and a threat to internet security......Here I've been telling your adoring fans how the time away has helped clear your mind and sharpen your wit............and you've done nothing with it, not even timely tax filing, let alone stand up against the tyranny. Probably you and Farouk have just been cruising The Woodlands testing hair products, or something. Geez!
Comments: Well, I turned my computer...back on..after reading for a couple of hours.. It's U is For Undertow...Sue Grafton Kinsey Milhone is my 'whatever/ alter ego.'. the PI... She likes Pickle and Cheese Sandwiches. She also likes Pickle and Peanut Butter Sandwiches.. I like Pickle and Cheese Sandwiches too...Not the other..I'll take my peanut butter with jam or honey, thank you... John is back...!!! Yay...!! John's alter ego is Walter Mitty... All you former Junior High people remember him, don't you.. I'm so glad John is back..I'm sorry about the taxes.. What can I say...? It's April..Well, John, just make yourself at home.. Start talking..as Kinky Friedman says to his phone... Actually, I'm logging back off again...Over and Out...SOCites.. See you later.. 
Comments: Well, Ginger, I have returned from my 46 day Lent-related sabatical. It was my plan to accomplish great things with the time I was no longer spending on Facebook and the SOC Guestbooks. Am I a better man for it all? As it worked out, my typical day consisted of one hour of doing chores or running errands; and the usual seven hours of self-loathing for procrastinating on the income taxes and completion of the 2010 Census form. Still, it is good to be back. Tomorrow TurboTax awaits me. Again.
Comments: couturiere..is the feminine form of couturier...I can't find couther...I've used 'uncouth' all my life..What origin is the root 'couth' from.. Pardon my dangling participle..however it does work to use 'danglings'.....! Haaaaaaaaa! (Charlotte' language) (Watch for JS' sitings...soon..! Be very scared...or not..) |
