Pre-Dig Gig, Rehash Bash and other Cooler events

A Ballpark Frank? That grows plump when'ya cook'um?

I'll take one! Make mine a dark crunchy Coney wid jeez! :smile:

Oh. And I' like my bun buttered and then toasted.

Thank you!

I recognize you have been doing prizes since 2007. Happy?

There is more I could say, but I don't feel bolestering is warrented now. You should have taken that private, Mike. It was one person's comment and you should have taken your initial feelings to the source. Then posting you will not be doing prizes hence forth.

GREEN...

I just got off the phone with Los Barrios.

lalalalala! :smile:

kk, go out to Shoot the Breeze.

Click on Cooler Crew Refugee Camp. See that up at the top (or bottom) of this thread?

Then go into where we just talk about whatever, Shoot The Breeze.

Otay?

Okay, sorry.

Sorry Mike - I didn't know. I just knew how much work you were doing this year and wanted to recognize is all. Thanks for doing the work that you've done for as long as you've done it!

Far as I know KT hasn't died but since she hasn't been around I wanted to help out.

Can a girl in Texas get a BUTTON? I would wear it proudly, here in San Antonio (please, don't say "San Antone")

I was going to ask, "what do I have to do..." but was afraid of your answers! LOL.

Can anyone send a button to me? I already love ya, but I'd love ya more!

I say SanAntone all the time....

<---------------running, ducking and hiding

There went your sauce............. :crying:

I know you had good intentions Redbear. Green is right, I should not have posted that. It came across badly.

My decision to pass the torch is something I decided on last year and have been planning on this being my last year since. It had nothing to do with what you said.

And just to be clear, there are a lot of others, expecially Me2, that have contributed prizes as well in the last few years. AW has been hooking us up yearly with the lodge and this year Newell as well.

I really do appreciate you and Lilslim helping out this year. Should be a great time!

I hope I'm not causing any rifts here.

And KT is doing just fine... She's on face book.

Ah, Mikey, you are a good man. Sadly all your kudus are never given to you so you know about them.

I had lunch today with a dear friend and it just so happens I brought you into the conversation. I said that one of the things I miss most about not attending The Re-Hash Bash -not that I don't miss the friends and laughs and good times - was missing Mikey's tricks and deeds and prizes and games. I said this but two hours before I read your post.

And you'll miss it again.

You are more brave than you think.

Good night.

Thats nice of you to say Green. Thanks!

You are quite welcome, sir. Very welcome. :smile:

(((Mikey)))

Egram me with your address and I'll save one for ya.

just for the record, mmm, my wife and I know where our root beer comes from.

Just thought I'd stop and mention I have lots of plastic forks and knifes, (no spoons), some napkins but probably not enough and the 48 paper plates that won't be enough either. Hopefully others can bring some.

I have my food ready too.

And KT is just fine.

Mikey - I hope I've told you in the past how much I appreciate your work, but if I haven't shame on me. You have done a super job.

And thanks Ares for taking care of KK's button.

I won't be able to make it...I've got to work :frown: last day of the month and all...

That's not fair! I don't like it when people can't join us. :sad:

I have monday off from work??? week 2 late imho...

Sounds like a day too late...so what's a week too late?

I can bring a crock pot full of hot chocolate (i.e. 'Snowman Soup') and a bottle of 'adult' flavoring to go with it. :wink:

We've got a plastic shoebox tote full of misc plastic silverware leftover from my parents' reunion last summer - it's mostly forks but there's knives and spoons too.

could have been out hunting..

Oh. Duh! I should have followed that clue.

Next year we need to reserve a pair of tables for the VCR. only 200 bucks a piece and you get ten tickets.

VCR? I feel like I'm not solving these clues very well.

Due to HUGE problems in getting any sleep today I don't think I'll be able to make it to the RHB tomorrow I need sleep really bad. UGH I hate it when I can't sleep.

Vvd. The iPhone corrected my spelling to VCR

So wonderful to see everyone today! Always good food, good company, and the prizes were super - although I ended up with one of the losing tickets. :wink:

Who brought those green pepper, cream cheese bacon things? I want the recipe! Those were super!!

And Eags - it was wonderful seeing you again. I'm so glad you made it down in time for the rehash.

I had a great time today! I'm always reminded of how much I really love this group during the rehash bash. Tryge and Steph did a great job with the prizes! And thanks to Terry Knapp, Ken Ng (diggerous Rex), Jesse Annibus (MrMed Hunter), Steve Worthman (Map Guy), and everyone one else that donated prizes this year or in the past. The generous contributions were enough to pay for the building. Thanks to everyone that came out. It was nice to see a lot of new people this year!

Oh! Would you look at that! Great turn out! Tell me all about it! Terry, that recipe you want sounds devine - pass it along ig you get it, please?

Mikey, tell all about what you did and all that, would'ja? I just love that part so much.

Tell me all about the food!

Cooler!

I can post some pics for you Green.

Allison, I have been meaning to thank you again for the 1998 Sponsor plaque (sp!) That I think Me2 was kind enuff to donate one year. You had won it and didn't want it and you gave it to me.

Thank you so much. It hangs in my livingroom. It really means a lot to me.

Thanks, Me2, for donating it.

Oh, Mikey!!!!!!!! My phone won't let me see them!!!!!! :crying:

But thanks! I'm sure many others will enjoy that.

Tell me about all the tricks you pulled out of your hat. You know, the cool stuff you do - like the year you had a monkey as a prize? You know, all the ideas and neat stuff.

Green:

Slim and I did the trick gifts, inspired by the clues:

1) Bodacious bounty - bounty paper towels

2) bleepin' heathen - mouthwash, for a dirty mouth

2) elizabathean airs - tiara and sceptre

3) Hot porsuit - kid's police kit, gun, badge, holster, notebook

4) Code By Morse - S.O.S. Brillo Pads, to scrape your eyes out with disbelief at another como hunt

5) Westerly Tack up from the Stack - A westerly stack. Two pringles cans (BBQ flavored, for that western taste) taped together with a compass on top)

6) Down the main drag - neon pink wig, red lipstick and nail extensions. (For those at home, Camo Dan won this prize and was a super good sport.)

7) Escape your troubles where the water bubbles - Mr. Bubble bubble bath

:ooh: To find the seed, energy you'll need - full throttle energy drink

:ooh: stored in 1 of 15 - 1:15 brand Oats - "when it's 1:15 in the morning and you just can't line up a landmark"

9)Hopping pad to pad like amphibians in '52 - Carnuba Turtle Wax pad and wax

10) Stonehenge crubmled down - mini stonehenge

10a) angel hair pasta - "thin noodle"

10b) whole grain low carb pasta "smart noodles"

For security's sake because of all of the negative posts that Rob and Jake have been getting we also gave them special Ankle protection that had extra padding (weight), was GPS enabled, so we would be able to find them at any time, was blaze orange, so we would be able to locate them at any time, and had bells tied to them so that we could hear them at any time. Because it's all about safety. :sillygrin:

Mikey did a lot of T-shirts, buttons, books, and even a new parka! And to combat the ankle weights, which were a joke, Mikey did give both Rob and Jake a "Golden Pick" award of a new pickaxe that was painted gold and a really neat plaque to go along with it.

Sounds and looks like a great time was had by all...

So sorry I didn't make it. I didn't arrive back at my car until 1pm today and would have not arrived in time... Always next year!

Hope to see some of you around this summer!

Oh, god.

This is what I was looking for. Bear, thank you!

Woot, woot, woot!!!

GREAT thinking and prizes! LOL!

love Mikey's Golden Pick idea. I treasure my golden shovel from BC.

What Cooler fun!!!!!!!!

Mikey - you were beyond generous today. Thanks for everything.

well said, md. same goes for bear and slim too.

It was a great time today :smile: Lots of coolers!!! Hey Ares.. check out my fb status :pbpt: hahahahahahah

Looks like y'all had a great time. Sad to have missed it.

Until next year...

Cheers!

We did! Wish you could have been here :smile:

Can someone tell me about the green pepper/cream cheese/bacon thighys Terry was talking about?

Were they jalapenos? Was the bacon wrapped around the pepper or incorporated into the cream cheese?

I'm finding recipes for stuffed jalapenos with bacon wrapped around them but have yet to find anything using green bell peppers.

If anyone likes hot stuff, habanaros stuffed with peanut butter are fabulous!

I've always called the jalapeno stuffed ones...buffalo turds...

the habanaro's one stuff...are called dragon turds..

they are even better when smoked on a charcoal grill

So, you're a member of The Ring of Fire Club? LOL!

I am a card carrying member of the Chile-Heads, #2156.

I bet they are better grilled as that brings out the sugar in the peppers. I've had chocolate dipped habs, too, but I like them better stuffed with peanut butter. I don't even know if the Chile-Heads are still around, but back in then 90s those of us here in the TCs would get together 1-2 X/year and cook out at a park or someone's house and we'd all mke the recipies we thought up. Fun times. That's where I leaened about the stuffed habs.

The "Fire King Lily Pad Poppers" were ours.

1 8oz pkg. Cream Cheese

1 Cup Shredded Cheese

1 lb Bacon

12 Jalapeno peppers

Cook the bacon.

Mix cream cheese , 1/2 the shredded cheese and 4 crumpled pieces of bacon in small bowl

Wash Jalapeno's , cut end off, split in half and remove inside & seeds (w-spoon)

Fill Jalapeno's with cream cheese mix,place them on baking pan(cookie sheet), sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top and place in oven for 10 minutes on 450.Take out and top with bacon slices.

Thats off the top of my head - simple.

We had a blast

It was Cooler seeing everyone

Marley King

ps

(I am sure Artemis has more to say)

Thank you! I'm going to be making these in the next day or two. I'm a sucker for 'whore's ovaries' and love to make a meal of them.

I think I will pre-cook to a softened state 12 of the bacon slices, mixing the rest in the cream cheese, and wrap the jalapenos.

I could also see these baked in some kind'a salsa stuff, topped with cheese.

Nummy!!!! Thanks, you kids! (((Arty & Marley)))
