Dinner is served

We have been enjoying the "Skinny Girl" Margarita as a pre-dinner cocktail.

And does a skinny girl always need?

A nice sausage.

chickelit said...: That's a very interesting candle.

Details please!; June 2, 2011 at 6:55 PM
chickelit said...: Looks like someone prefers putting sausage in buns and the other likes to mix them up with the "veggies"

The bun lover also quaffs faster. I'm guessing that's you?; June 2, 2011 at 6:58 PM
chickelit said...: You can tell a lot about a person from how they relish their sausage.; June 2, 2011 at 7:00 PM
Trooper York said...: Yes I like to put my sausage between a nice pair of buns.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!; June 2, 2011 at 7:04 PM
Trooper York said...: That is a citronella candle that helps repel mosquitos.

One of the reasons we haven't been out in the yard is the wife hates getting bitten by mosquitos. We used to have tons of citronella candles...in buckets....with liguid in a metal conatiner with a wick....regular candles...all kinds of stuff.

I planted some natural sources of citronella and am waiting on some citronella scented geranium which I am going to put all over the garden.

The way the candle works is you pull the wick throught the slot and it burns down and eventually goes out so you don't waste it. It's pretty cool.; June 2, 2011 at 7:09 PM
chickelit said...: Does the glass come with? It seems like the anti-mosquito effect would be more effective if the citronella vapor spread out evenly instead of getting shunted upwards through the glass chimney.; June 2, 2011 at 7:23 PM
chickelit said...: What mosquitoes really, really hate is smoke, so keep up the cigar action.; June 2, 2011 at 7:24 PM
Trooper York said...: Yes it comes with the glass but the idea is to permeate the area with the order. So of what happens when Garage is eating a road kill sandwich.; June 2, 2011 at 7:29 PM
Trooper York said...: The cigars work best but that is an after dinner thing. And it doesn't work too well when we are having coffee first thing in the morning.; June 2, 2011 at 7:30 PM
Trooper York said...: If only farting worked I could have it covered.; June 2, 2011 at 7:30 PM
chickelit said...: Mosquitoes are also attracted to CO2 so the more you talk the more they'll hit on you.; June 2, 2011 at 7:34 PM
chickelit said...: You're forever talking about what the gardener and his lady friend do on the porch at the cottage. I wonder if they ever have to curtail things because of mosquitoes.; June 2, 2011 at 7:36 PM
Trooper York said...: I bet they do. Cause you one of them could fly in there and be buzzing around and stuff. How annoying would that be.

Hey that inspires a "Tales of Amy's Garden" bit. Good going.; June 2, 2011 at 7:37 PM
MamaM said...: Chickenlittle got here first and took most of the good stuff.; June 2, 2011 at 7:51 PM
chickelit said...: Chickenlittle got here first and took most of the good stuff.

Aww, I'll shut up for a while.; June 2, 2011 at 7:56 PM
blake said...: I'm glad you guys are taking opportunities to rest. You work like dogs.

That's a big effin' deal.

I plan to quit my job and live off the suckers like you.; June 2, 2011 at 8:04 PM
ricpic said...: In Brooklyn
You walk down the hot street
And when you get to the end of the hot street
There's another hot street to walk down.
Little do you know that hidden out of sight
Are backyards: hundreds and hundreds of
Hidden sunken sanctuaries of shade
Where hundreds of bare arms are
Raising the beautiful glass of guinea red aloft
And dreamily looking through the ruby globe
At the sun receiving walls of stucco and brick and clapboard
That rise above their blissfully sunken havens of shade
And knowing at that moment that
All Is Good.; June 3, 2011 at 4:10 PM
ricpic said...: That rise above those...; June 3, 2011 at 4:16 PM
ricpic said...: You're right, bare arms can't look. So much for inspiration. ;^(; June 3, 2011 at 4:33 PM
deborah said...: Very nice, ricpic. That really captures it.

Mosquitoes in Brooklyn? Who'da thunk it?; June 3, 2011 at 9:43 PM
