Harry seems to be gone and with him not posting political BS, I dont
feel I should counter his nonsense with mine. This goes for all of us
I hope. So, Truce?
I will not post any more political BS if y'all dont. B'sides, it's
getting boring. It is mid-summer, somebody must be boating.

I went boating for a few hours hours today, beginning at 8:30. Just for
grins, I timed driving to the ramp, uncovering the boat, launching and
parking. 30 minutes. Got back around 1:30. Caught a half-dozen feeeeesh,
kept two. Bought a half-dozen #1 blue crabs from a commercial fisherman,
and we had them tonight, along with fresh corn, tomato and cucumber from
one of the local side of the road growers around here. Cleaned the fish,
will cook them tomorrow.

Pssssst. "Harry" is not gone.

Based on your record pace, "our" plan was to let you drive yourself
into the ground while we tag teamed.

Why not sit back and let us take over for a while. You can daydream
about next year's sojourn to Cheneyville. Maybe by then he'll be
facing prosecution for dereliction of duty.

I am thinking about going scalloping but would rather wait till
August to give em time to grow. Might go fishing sooner but wife will
be recovering and being able to go into the water is simply a matter
of survival in this heat and she cannot during recovery.

So, yeah, truce. Lets talk about boats. A hell of a lot more interesting

Take two aluminum throw away baking pans and fill the bottom one half
way with dry pine needles.

Put shell fish on the needles and punch holes in the top and bottom of
the pan.

Put directly over a charcaol fire (gas works too). Expect many of the
pine needles to burn during the cooking process.

After the shell fish opens, let it cook for a short while and then
serve and eat.

The shellfish takes on a most unique smokey taste that is wonderful.

I don't like clams, but I've done a lobster this way after par
boiling.

I've also had a variation of this with slightly moist pine needles.

Cracker Barrel used to have a baked potato coated in pine resin. Lots
of people liked it, so I ordered it.

I will say that it was good, different and well.... good.

the waitress came by and said , how was your potato? I said, it was
really good but the skin was a bit tough, but I finally got it.

She said "Sir!You're not supposed to eat the skin!"


I have noticed that they've taken it off their menu. Probably got

Cracker Barrel...our alternative to Waffle House when rolling down I-95...

There's so much really bad food offered at the "just off the Interstate"
restaurants, it's really nice to come across a Cracker Barrel at dinner
time.

Many years ago, soon after you crossed into South Carolina (I think it
was SC) heading south, there was an enclave of shops and restaurants on
the east side of the highway, the biggest being a well-advertised place
that sold cigars. I don't remember the name of that enterprise. Anyway,
there was a Nathan's hot dog restaurant there, serving up real deal
Kosher dogs with all the trimmings, hand-made french fries, and high
quality, icy cold lemonade. We probably stopped there a half dozen times
in our various trips to north Florida and back. Alas, I noticed a few
years ago it was gone, replaced by some bloody awful fast food chain.

If you want to find a microcosm of "what is wrong with America," look at
the just terrible food available along the interstates. There are a
couple of exceptions, such as Waffle House and Cracker Barrel, but
generally...what's offered is just the worst of the worst.

Probably more to do with cheap, fast food and consistency than
anything else. Franchising those qualities drove the rest out.
Cracker Barrel and Waffle house don't fit the fast food mold, but
have the consistency.
That Nathans was an exceptional stop.
Imagine going through the Carolinas before franchising, and eating
hit or miss. Without local knowledge you don't know what crap
you'll be fed.
That's why we always brought a cooler and made up our own food
back in the day.

If you want to find a microcosm of "what is wrong with America," look at
the just terrible food available along the interstates. There are a
couple of exceptions, such as Waffle House and Cracker Barrel, but
generally...what's offered is just the worst of the worst.

Probably more to do with cheap, fast food and consistency than
anything else. Franchising those qualities drove the rest out.
Cracker Barrel and Waffle house don't fit the fast food mold, but
have the consistency.
That Nathans was an exceptional stop.
Imagine going through the Carolinas before franchising, and eating
hit or miss. Without local knowledge you don't know what crap
you'll be fed.
That's why we always brought a cooler and made up our own food
back in the day.

We still do. We pace our trips, leaving before dawn so that we get to a
Waffle House in two or three hours for breakfast, then we cooler-dive
for lunch, and hit a Cracker Barrel for dinner. Pretty mundane, I
suppose, but it's worthwhile being very careful when eating on a long trip.

I often wondered what happened to that Nathan's. Every time we stopped
there, it was jammed. The chain is still around.

In the Carolinas...I try to imagine we've already driven through
them whenever we're driving the interstate in them. I like the OBX and
the South Carolina coastal areas, but the areas along the interstates
are just locales I wish we could "hop" over when driving. That's
probably why these days we mostly hop on an airline flight when heading
to Florida.

I went out Saturday and had a blast with the niece and great-nephews.
I plan on going several times more this years if fuel stays low.
What?

You have your own business - just charge it off. :)
Went float tubing Saturday. Does that count?

Do you own your own business? :)

In order to agree to a truce, one must be a participant in the conflict. I
don't fit that, but have to admit I have made comments.

So, yeah, truce. Lets talk about boats. A hell of a lot more interesting
and a lot more fun. And seeing as a lot of us may be living on our boats
soon, we need to start a recipe file, too.

Take two aluminum throw away baking pans and fill the bottom one half
way with dry pine needles.

Put shell fish on the needles and punch holes in the top and bottom of
the pan.

Put directly over a charcaol fire (gas works too). Expect many of the
pine needles to burn during the cooking process.

After the shell fish opens, let it cook for a short while and then
serve and eat.

The shellfish takes on a most unique smokey taste that is wonderful.

I don't like clams, but I've done a lobster this way after par
boiling.

I've also had a variation of this with slightly moist pine needles.

Why Pine needles? Taste? Could you use Apple or Hickory? Hey Loogie!
What do you say bud? Can I do it???

Yes, absolutely! You can buy cedar planks that work very well too. I use
hickory chips, and oysters doing it pretty much like Tom said.

Wife has her surgery tomorrow and prob a 1 month recovery during which
no swimming. She says she wants to go scalloping but that involves
swimming. She says she can wade or will stay on the boat and read. I
think getting in the water to cool off (even in the bath water temp of
the Gulf) is necessary so am not sure how scalloping will go.

My wife, being a true southern belle, likes greens and is always trying
to get me to try them...again. She always orders greens when they are
available at Cracker Barrel. It's an acquired taste, I think. I don't
like them.
