<p>I just want ya'll to know how badly that test thing back-fired on me. I scored a 4! LOL Should not be a shocker to Boss & Bill! Didn't take too much time to read the questions through & it bit me in my behind. I was distracted by pork chops! </p>

<p>OK. I admit it. I am too blonde to play with the smart people. Can I take it back? Nobody else is required to take the quiz. I'm changing the game plan. You can just read "down" when I post my 1000 post. :)</p>

<p>As to the BBQ, it is indeed vinegar & mustard based. They call it BBQ, but I call it smoked meat with some sauce over it. Yankees know BBQ. Its simmered all day in a red tomato based BBQ sauce. YUM. Now the slaw, thats a nuther story. Ever had a slaw dog? Oh boy, now thats good eats! A 4. I'm still a little miffed..... Please someone tell me that they scored a 2!!</p>

22

<p>Jamzmom is only 18 away from 1000 as I post this! Be ready for a virtual celebration! She could do it on a long night with lots of Merlot & chocolate! She may beat my Valentine's Day bet if Boss (at 700) gets her going!</p>

23

<p>The flu meds may be a big help, too. ;)</p>

24

<p>Here's a good one...she keeps calling bubble wrap "bubble tape." HA that's gum where I come from...shoot back JM!</p>

25

<p>And some folks call soda - "pop!" ;)</p>

26

<p>of course a soda is really a POP! Everybody in Colorado knows that... But while in college in Boston - it's really called a tonic! So now I'm thinking of making a Frappett (don't know the spelling you beantowners) just the word... or a fribble from friendly's. Just a note- I got lucky and scored a ten for eleven on that test. :))</p>

27

<p>It just frappe...</p>

<p>Also the various names for meatball sandwiches...subs, grinders, hoagies, wedges(no jm not wedgies)...</p>

28

<p>well in Colorado we call them "meatball sandwiches"</p>

29

<p>A little early for happy hour isn't it guys? Its "sammich" no matter what kind it is. Hey, I was thinkin'. You know that test I failed here? Well, I scored the highest out of all ya'll on that Dixie test. Just remember that. I'm more Dixie than any of ya!
Carry on ~</p>

30

<p>I did well on that dixie test too- and I am a born-and-bred New Yorker...wonder what that says- maybe you are more yankee than you think! ;)</p>

31

<p>Uh oh Navy2010 is catching up with me...shouldn't you be planning that massive gala you have planned for r-day at Annapolis? I heard the guest list is nearing the 200 mark.</p>

32

<p>Boss- Ha! Good memory recall! It's still 26 and holding steady- although might go to 27 if the new girl on the block is still in the picture (btw- she is from your neck of the woods- stratford I think?) You can always join us and get us back to even numbers again! Did I tell you we qualified for our own "tour" of the yard? We even get a "bus" pass if we want one....too funny! (oh- and we got a group discount!;) ) So now I'm thinking about getting big buttons made with the kid's photo on it that we can all wear as official members of the "Torpedo Fan Club"...will save one for ya! (he does not row, so there is no conflict of interest!!!)</p>

<p>All I know is that the torpedo better get his mind off girls and back into his Calc book or else there will be trouble!</p>

33

<p>Ahem.... just a little reminder that my bet on JM was the 1k post by 2/13...</p>

<p>so are the "Price is Right" rules in effect...winner is the closest without going over?</p>

34

<p>LOL The 13th you say? Hee Hee Hee.....
Hey, you guys are under a blizzard warning up there. Is Jamz going to die? It's his first ever blizzard. His Dad just sent him an email with the report just so he could see what one looks like. Dad is grinning.</p>

35

<p>Yes JM a big nor'easter on the way...CGA has a formal scheduled for tomorrow night...hopefully it won't get snowed out.</p>

36

<p>JM: Your Score: 11 out of 11
Your Rating: Only 3 people have ever scored this high </p>

<p>must be a mistake!</p>

37

<p>JM: yes, blizzard warnings up- but there is still a chance it will blow further north and west of the city (blow hard on the count of 3!)</p>

<p>Not to worry- Jamz will be just fine- they now have shovels at KP! ;)</p>

38

<p>You can't talk about BBQ with out talking about Kansas City BBQ. The American Royal BBQ invitational and open contest is amazing. By the way, that Moses/Noah thing tripped me up.</p>

39

<p>In Pa., the Phila. region: a 'hoagie' is usually Italian meats, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, oregano, oil and vinegar on a long roll (with or without onions).
There are variations on a hoagie, such as an American hoagie, substituting ham & Amer. cheese, or a tuna hoagie, etc.</p>

<p>A grinder is the above, heated ....</p>

<p>A meatball sandwich is a meatball sandwich...</p>

<p>Never heard of a wedgie, is that a wrap?</p>

<p>I grew up in central Pa., where a hoagie is called a submarine.</p>

<p>But nothing beats a genuine Philly Cheese Steak, especially dripping in fried onions...and no it is not served with Swiss cheese and Grey Poupon as orderd by Sen. Kerry while he was campaigning in Philadelphia; I might add, much to the amusement of the locals !:)</p>

<p>Growing up in Jersey - we called them heroes or sometimes submarines. The oil, vinegar and spices made it. Now down in DC, there are no decent ones - problem is also with the lack of proper bread. Jersey Mike franchises are the closest substitute. </p>

<p>Prayerful mom - I pray we don't get started on politicians and food! Never pretty - for the locals or pols!</p>
