Aaaah good ol' Jeff Foxworthy,

- grass is growing in your baggage compartment.
- everyone of your flight is a violation of FAR 91.13.

Hahah mooi he.. En nog waar ook voor een deel!!! t-shirts zijn te koop voor 10 bucks at your local FBO
 
Mountain Oysters...... buiten Colorado denkt iedereen inderdaad dat het seafood is....
Colorado: in april parkeer je een vliegtuigje in Boulder en de volgende morgen heb je enkele tientallen extra passagiers (motvlinders)
 
He Metro...kun je mij aub de nieuwe profiles van FedEX even mailen?? Wil me goed voorbereiden op de grondschool daar..haha
 
Hired ? good for you buddy.... Of nog aan het hopen op het al oude gerucht dat ze jullie overnemn?? zou mooi zijn.. Maar dat gerucht is ouder als ik.

Kennis van me daar (2e jaar MD11 F/O) nam vorige maand 22K (geen geintje) mee naar huis, na 25 dagen on the road te zijn geweest....

Metro ben jij op Boulder geweest?? grappig zeg... Ben daar ooit eens geweest met een C172 in het midden van de nacht.. Baanverlichting viel uit toen ik op zo'n 500' agl hing.

Leuk (studenten) stadje trouwens wel Boulder... (CU)
 
@ FD,

Ome Art heeft ze wel eens gegeten, in Montana, welliswaar na overvloedig alcohol gebruik, maar toch, droom er nog wel eens van na een copieuze maaltijd. Geen aanrader.

Maar voor de die hards is hier het recept.

Rocky Mountain Oysters

2 pounds calf testicles*
2 cups beer
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup yellow cornmea1
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil**
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

* Be sure to ask your butcher for calf testicles, not bull testicles. Calf testicles are the size of a walnut and are much more tender than the larger bull testicles.

** Use enough vegetable oil to fill your frying container halfway to the top (to allow for bubbling up and splattering) and to completely cover calf testicles while frying.

With a very sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each testicle. Remove the skin (you can remove the skin easily if the testicles are frozen, then peel while thawing). Slice each testicle into approximately ¼- to ½- inch-thick ovals. Place slices in a large pan or blow with enough beer to cover them; cover and let sit 2 hours.

In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Remove testicles from beer; drain and dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture. In a large, deep pot, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Deep fry 3 minutes or until golden brown (will rise to the surface when done). Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite hot pepper sauce.

Smakelijk,
Art
 
fried chicken..... ik heb ze nooit gegeten

Longdart: je weet dat ik geen fedex profiles heb. Als je daar wordt aangenomen kun je een recommendatie voor mij invullen...

FD, yep, 2 dagen Boulder, een week in Col. Springs / Monument. In een Apache-geronimo van Wash. DC naar San Fransisco in 1992 (geloof ik, het was een paar maanden na de beruchte aardbeving in san Fran)
 
Fried chicken?

Mijn herinnering is meer zoiets als fried shrimps, toch een sea food smaakje.
On the other hand, alles wat fried is word moeilijk herkenbaar.
Het was ook niet zozeer de smaak, dat viel wel mee, het probleem zat meer tussen de oren.

Anyway, iemand wel eens Drunken Shrimps gegeten ? Nou, dat is lekker.

Cheers
Art
 
Nog geen bezopen garnalen gehad, wel Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, gekookt in Heineken en kruiden. Heerlijk! Deze werden gevangen en klaargemaakt door een Nederlander die in MD woonde en in DE een garage voor Duitse auto's had
