Deep South Meet

[Piglet822]

Bret, I believe Beth is picking me up at the airport, we'll stop on the way to your place. Just let me know how much of what to pick up.
If noone has a preference it'll be Pepsi products

Bret a rum sauce always comes out great with "FRESH" rum. Do you like the buttery- sugar kind or pudding kind?
I must be hungry.... and yes, I won't let Jeanne buy Pepsi What is this BYOC?

[MickeysGirl]

Pepsi... what the heck is that stuff?

Bret, can we be totally picky and can we have a two liter of Cherry Coke Zero, please?

And hate to say it, I can acquire Rum, but know nothing about rum sauce. Sorry!

I had Rob get the buns on the way home tonight. You'll be happy to know that I'm training my Floridian well, he bought Bunny Bread Hamburger Buns!!

Ok, I'm not from NYC, I'm from Rockland County which is 32 miles NW of the city. But, maybe Pepsi is a north thing. I drink it because it's the only thing I've been drinking since I was a lovestruck teenager of 16 years of age who had a crush on the guy that delivered Pepsi to my high school

Hey Bret, since you are planning to wear your Speedo I figure I will bring my thong bikini and we can take a picture for Intercot.

3/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 c. water
2 tsp. rum flavoring
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. butter
Combine first 4 ingredients; cook, then add last 2 ingredients. Pour over baked bread pudding.
If you don't have cornstarch you can beat an egg in the sugar to thicken it but beat the egg in before cooking it. The longer you cook the rum the less potent it will be
Emmm. Bunny Bread is there any other kind?

So today is your big day! Have a great time all you deep-south people!

[SgtTigger]

Well, it is Sunday at 5:30 and the meet is officially over............

The last folks just left Beth and Jeanne..... Sherrie and I had a great time.

Thanks to everyone who came....... to those who did not come you must make the next Deep South Meet.............. Come on it lasted almost 2 full days...... We had BBQ and talked and cut up and then today we went to eat lunch in the French Quarter and walked and walked to get to Pat O Briens...... then we went off our separate ways........ that was the sad part.... Jeanie and Beth came back to the house to get there stuff and then they were off too.........
I cant wait till the next one..... lets get planning......

Oh yea no fires...............

[Donalds Duckie]

I am SO sad that I had to miss this Deep South meet but I'm certainly hoping that y'all plan another one soon! I thought of y'all throughout the weekend knowing y'all were having a truly magical time.

So, when does the planning for Deep South Meet II begin?

[Dr_Nigel_C]

Yup, Deep South Meet I (tm) was a blast!!!



We really had an awesome time, and it was great to see Bret and Sherrie again -- their hospitality is second-to-none.

For Jamie, Nigel Jr. and I, the plan was to arrive early to the meet and help out. Unfortunately, we mis-judged the amount of time it would take to get there, and ended up about a half-hour late. :-(

But, we had an awesome time hanging out with everyone. Food was great -- Bret sure does know how to use that grill!! We sat around for hours, just talking and laughing, sharing stories etc. Nigel Jr. and I even hit the pool for a bit -- it was a very hot day!!

Jamie and I had a family party to go to later that evening -- an 80th birthday bash that we were going to dress up for. Well, due to a "Wardrobe Malfunction" (i.e.: I left some of her clothes back in Florida ), we decided to skip the party and keep hanging out with the gang!

So...Bret and Sherrie were kind enough to put us up for the night. We're just lucky there was enough room since Jeanne and Beth were already staying the night there.

After a good night's sleep, we got up, rustled up some breakfast, and hung out some more.

As Bret mentioned, we headed to the French Quarter to eat lunch, then walked around and found Pat O'Briens and made sure to have a Hurricane to drink.

Yup, heading out was sad, but we know we'll see everyone again soon!

[MsMin]

Thanks Bret and Sherrie for hosting the event. It was wonderful.
Jamie, Rob and Nigel jr So glad you made it home safe and it was great meeting you. Jamie didn't you say something about a recipe???
Angel and Bobby- hope you had a wonderful time in the FQ and Angel take care of that new knee. emmm I'm still thinking about that chocolate cake As always great to see you both again and Happy Birthday Bobby.
Jeanne, I promise you will never hear me complaining about a DME arriving late at the airport I'm so glad I got to meet you- it was great fun.
To all who couldn't make it- missed you and we do plan to do it again. Sorry you couldn't make it, especially Monica who was in the hospital

Oh Angel when are you going to post those pics of Bret in his Speedo......

[Here we go again...]

Yep, we agree, the meet was a hit!
I really enjoyed meeting Jamie and Rob. It is very strange just how much all of us are alike... I think Bret attracts some pretty strange women... and I mean strange in a good way. At times it was like looking in a mirror when I was talking to Jamie. She is me 10 years ago... and it only gets worse. I told her that when she grows up she will be just like me.
Even worse.... Rob remindes me of bobby about 15 years ago.

Beth did a great job of keeping Bret in his place. Just when he would say something a little annoying, Beth seemed to have the perfect answer that would shut him down. I almost fell off the sofa laughing one time. I loved it!! I wish I had the quick comebacks that you do Beth!

The food was wonderful. I have not seen Bobby scarf down some BarBQue that fast in a long time. I was a little disappointed that Beth did not get some FRESH garlic on those burgers for me though. Bret did do an amazing job on the food and Sherrie worked hard to make sure everything else was put together.


We had lots of fish eyes for Jeanne. I could tell by the look on her face how happy she was. We need to make sure she gets the fish eye pudding in October!

Bobby even had a wonderful time. He is always a little leary about meeting the strange people of Intercot. Well, he had no problen fitting in. And you Jeanne.... you were killing him. Every word that came out of your mouth had him rolling. I think that if we can come up with the funds to go on October we will be there. We have to get some bills paid off first. He wants to go spend some more time with you.... he thinks he found someone that can keep me in my place. Yeah right.

Anyway, We had a wonderful time. Bret and Sherrie, you will be happy to know that I did not steal anything from the house. If you are missing anything, call Jeannie. She had her eye on that mug all day.

Sorry we did not get back to the Quarter, Bobby was watching golf and I went back to the casino. I won... I Won!!

Let's do this again real soon. It was so much fun. We have to plan ahead of time to make sure everyone stays somewhere close to each other. I was ready to go back to your house and share a sleeping bag with someone. Maybe the next one should be in Florida!!!

[MickeysGirl]

What a great time!!!

Yes, we most certainly have to do it again. It was a pleasure meeting Beth, Angel and Bobby. It's been a long time since I've laughed that hard! What a treat!!

Jamie didn't you say something about a recipe???

Beth, which recipe was I talking about? Please refresh my memory.

I can't wait till the next meet. I could sit here and go on and on, but everyone else has done such a great job summing it up! Thanks to Bret and Sherrie for hosting and taking our sorry butts in for the night! and thanks to everyone else for making the trip. Truly a wonderful experience!

Hugs to you all and here's to who couldn't make it. We missed you!!

[MsMin]

What a great time!!!
Beth, which recipe was I talking about? Please refresh my memory.

It's a secret, the chocolate cookies I'm still hiding in my overnite bag that I don't want anyone to find

[MickeysGirl]

Oh... THAT recipe!

hehehehehe I'll make sure I get it to ya!

I just have to either find it on the home computer or rewrite it out in layman's terms. The recipe isn't exactly the way I make it.

I'm so glad you liked them! We have one left. I decided to leave it for Rob after I ate the others this morning.

[Piglet822]

We had lots of fish eyes for Jeanne. I could tell by the look on her face how happy she was.

It wasn't the fish eyes that had me smiling like that. It was the great weekend I spent with some really good friends and the new boyfriend I left back home You know, the one whose picture got passed around as soon as someone new entered the room?

If you are missing anything, call Jeannie. She had her eye on that mug all day.

I'm innocent. Totally and completely innocent

And you Jeanne.... you were killing him. Every word that came out of your mouth had him rolling.

It wasn't that, he just wanted the cookies I was bribing him with. Hehehehe.


I had a great time, I want to jump in and thank Bret and Sherrie for their hospitality. There will definitely be a sequel to this meet

I'll be home tomorrow (I'm at DBF's house right now) and will download and post some photos.

[SgtTigger]

Sherrie and I are so glad the meet was a success........ thanks to everyone who came again.....


We are glad everyone made it home safe and sound........

We even had leftovers tonight....

Oh yea my cat misses everyone........ I bet rob does not miss her........

[Here we go again...]

Oh yea my cat misses everyone........ I bet rob does not miss her........

What did Rob do to the cat? I know that poor sweet little cat could not possibly do anything to Rob.
