My Chili Debut in Lanco went over like a lead balloon...I am now looking for a Beef Stew Crock Pot Recipe

Go over like a lead balloon

Meaning

Fail completely and be considered a flop by the public.

For 2 Months I have heard what sounds like a "gun shot"!

I got TJ on the back porch tonight & had him listen...The sound is constant...it occurs @ all hours of the day! Timothy explained,

• The Lancaster Mall, which is @ least 4 miles away, has a roof like The Super Dome
• The roof is warm & cloth like
• Birds like to perch on the warm, cloth roof
• Birds on the roof cause damage...thus...

The Mall fires off "gun shot" sounds 24 hours a day to keep the Birds away!

• I also realized that I have not seen ONE Pigeon since I moved here

PS...hat tip to Sis

I played Golf today & made myself the worst meal ever made!

I grilled chicken & while it was grilling I noticed that the package said "Sell by 12/19/2011" That turned me off to the chicken...I know someone that recently suffered with "chickanella" poisoning...

• I then peeled carrots, microwaved a potato and added them together with cole-slaw in my New electric frying pan...UGH!

Finally, I made some Success Rice...

• I ate the Rice, tossed the Chicken, put the carrot/potato & cole slaw skillet mess on "stand-by" and am currently enjoying a ...

High-ball!

• Merry Christmas Everybody!

So...TJ, GeraldPea & Paddy are sitting around the kitchen table & Paddy asks...

..."at what age do your fingers begin to swell?"

• TJ & I looked at our hands, looked at Paddy & he ran from the Kitchen...

Paddy later admitted that he may have "put his foo, er, hand in his mouth" with that comment...

How do you convince a Squirrel to gather nuts when the Squirrel is nuts?

If you were taken out to dinner tomorrow night...anywhere you want to go...and anything you want to eat...

Where would you go...and what would you order???

Happy Birthday Cooker !!!

Someone called me to tell me something I did not know...Bill Conlin is a Perv!

So sad, this stuff. What is wrong with Men?

• The unmentioned caller was "cackling" that The Blog was "scooped"!

The "Christmas Cat" Sends a Holiday Message...

This timeless Christmas classic captures the Christmas Cat taking his holiday message to the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. As only the Cat can do, he delivers his music in his own special way, and always attracts a crowd. Hey, it's Christmas week - enjoy!

Jason & Courtney (aka as Coco) were here today...

...with Christmas Gifts with a Flyer theme...!

WE had the Pea Saturday Matinee today & it was a success...Popcorn, juice, cookies, candy canes & 2 movies...

..."The Search for Santa Paws" (a Disney Movie) was really not good. Don't waste your good reputation on it...

GeraldPea's version of a Christmas Classic

There will be a full video version of this performance but I felt the need to get this recording out for all fans of GeraldPea. This was recorded at his new Lancaster studio on a recent Sunday afternoon. A friend of Paddy's provides the violin solo. Merry Christmas to all.

We have the Videos for The Pea Pad Christmas Matinee!

Starts at Noon...ends at 5 PM! We have Popcorn...100% Juice....Cookies...Apple Sauce & more...

• Both Films are Rated "ND"..."No Diapers"
• Unless of course, Accompanied by your Personal Diaper Changer...

Hope to see you Here!

So I'm on a visit this week to A&P's. Chatting around the kitchen table & Alyce leaves the room...

...returns and tells me to put my head back. She then proceeds to "clip" my eyebrows while the P of A&P continues with our conversation...

• Maureen tells me it was not a violation of my personal space cause Wives & Sisters are allowed to do that...

Is that True?

"building a song" is what the Sunday Videographer is calling His Video. At first I thought, WTF!@#$%^&, after further review...I Love It!

I am experimenting with Photo stuff & I came up with this one...

...meanwhile, we had a Jam Session @ The Peas Pad on Sunday. Eddie showed up w/ his "New" Sound Studio Gear & as Luck would have it...Paddy just happened to have a few of his friends here that "Could Play"! We had guitars, harmony, violins, mandolins, mannaquins & all other kinds of things going on...The "Music People" had a Ball!

My Grand-kids wish you all a Merry Christmas...!

Six...Five...and Three...

Stool samples & Salmonella Poisoning...Jason was sick for almost two weeks & after various Tests, they determined that...

...he has Salmonella poisoning! Now the Dept of Health is looking to Interview him...!

PEA is for sPorts...No QB in the NFL, from now on, will make it to the NFL Hall of Fame...

...Unless he Wins a Super Bowl...

• Last QB inducted without a Super Bowl Ring was Warren Moon...2006...

By the same token...just because you were the Winning QB in the Super Bowl does not mean you are a Hall of Famer...(think Trent Dilfer).

I have been in search of a simple Winter Vest. There are no Dick's in Lancaster County.

The Sporting Goods Stores I have visited in my search for a Simple Winter Vest are offering me Ski Vests that go down to nearly mid-thigh and cost $129.00! And! The "doubleXXL" is too tight! It is not a priority or a "must have" I was just perusing the Sporting Goods stores & neither of them matched the quality of Dick's!

Social Networks...

I do Facebook. Kelly told me, "you wanna see photos of the Kids you need to do Facebook". I admit, I don't know the intricacies, but I do see a lot of stuff there. From my ACHE people, Nieces, Family...Sons & their friends...& friends of all the other friends...Plus friends of theirs that would not want to hear from me & would wonder who I am.

• I sometimes respond or make a Post

My question is...How come I see no other Father, Mother, Aunt or Uncle posting anything on Facebook? That is, anyone over 60?

• This is not just about McKendry's, it's about In-Laws, Cousins, Uncle/Aunt In-Laws...Grandmoms & Grandpops...

I just Wonder am I , being over 60, being a Jerk when I respond or Post something on Facebook?

• LOL!

That is not a question you need to respond to...I cannot believe how long this Post is allowing me to g

Pea is for POLITICS! Remember 3 or more years ago when we had to watch The Rod Blgojevich Saga? Well, Rod finally got his judgement today...

Blagojevich Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison for Corruption

"The wheels of Justice move slowly...but they do keep on moving"....

On Facebook Kelly posted that she made a salad w/ Kale...I never heard of Kale til I read that Chick-fil-A was suing a Vermont T-shirt maker

Kale

You know how you sometimes reach for a big juicy piece ofchicken but accidentally pick up a piece of kale instead?

OK, it hasn't really happened to us either. But "likely" confusion between kale and chicken seems to be at the heart of a dispute between Atlanta-based fast-food chain Chick-fil-A and a Vermont man who makes T-shirts that say "Eat More Kale."

Remember when we went to the Felton? You guys had 10cents...I had 25cents...never told you all that I was given more than you guys...It was to cover for you in case you over-spent...
