OK, so not exactly a party. More like a BBQ. Only better. Nobody has to chase dustballs from the house, scrub toilets, cut grass, pull out lawn chairs, make a bunch of food, or even get out of your jammies if you don't want to. It's a virtual Labor Day blogfest cook-out, hosted by Karen at
Coming Down the Mountain: A Writer's Blog
Pop on over to her blog and tell everybody what you're gonna bring. Me, I'm bringing a mess of steamed crabs and a chocolate rum cake. (Decadent!)
The purpose of this shindig is to meet some other bloggers. It's a social. A lovely tea, if you will. Only you can drink whatever the heck you want to drink. Check out some of the blogs of the other party animals you'll meet at Karen's place, and maybe some of them will check yours. It's an opportunity to pick up another follower or two. And to have some fun. Minus the need to clean up a bunch of post-party trash.
See ya there!
Hi! I've stopped by after your comment on my Bang Out the Prose blog. I've brought cocktail sauce to go with your steamed crabs, if you like. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHi, Suz. Thank you, ma'am. The cocktail sauce sounds good for steamed shrimp . . . maybe I'd better throw some of them on the stove, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kind of party. I think I'll cook up a mess of ribs.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan. I heard there was cake!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you via the BBQ. Great idea on Karen's part. :)
Looking forward to reading more of your blog.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll head on over. With a pot of virtual bbq beans.
ReplyDeleteHi, Delores. Sounds good! That's what we're having in the "real world" today.
ReplyDeleteHi, L.G. Yeah, one can never have too much cake, can one? Thanks for stopping by. Good to meet you, and ditto, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your blog, too.
Hi, Anne. It's a fun easy way to meet some other bloggers. Those beans sound good. I must be ready for lunch . . .
Love steamed crabs and your blog! Thanks so much for stopping by and for following! Looking forward to following you, too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Karen. Thank you so much for relaying the message, dear lady.
ReplyDeleteHi, Hilary. Sorry for the problems posting a comment. Blogger can be a difficult pain in the derriere at time, but I appreciate you sticking with it and passing a comment through Karen. I hope it plays nice with you in the future.
Hi, Marguerite. Great. The crabs are hot and the beer is cold. (Not really. I don't like beer, but it SOUNDS good.)
Steamed crabs sound great, and I love your blog. Thanks for stopping by mine :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Claire. Thank you, ma'am. Welcome aboard!
ReplyDeleteHi, Susan, I'm dropping in from Karen's BBQ, via a blog where you commented ahead of me. I was rolling the mouse out when I somehow clicked onto your site. Happy I did. You've got a really blog going here. (Love the title!) I'm happy to be your latest follower.
ReplyDeleteYay for parties! I just had steak and corn on the cob. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at chocolate rum cake. :)
ReplyDeleteNice connecting with you today, Susan!
Can't resist the steamed crabs! Popping over from Karen G's.
ReplyDeleteIncidently, I enjoyed your Conneticut post also :) Lovely pictures and stories. What a great place you live in.
.......dhole
I was out last night at a HUGE party, so I think I'll stay home. However, I'll send over some fresh figs, some late peaches, and a crate of local Vino. Have fun..... now where's my aspirins?
ReplyDeletefollowed u over from karen's bbq... brought whiskey and steak! enjoy! and great blog--following!
ReplyDeleteSteamed crabs?!? Oh my goodness, yes please! Stopping by for the BBQ to say hello and follow your blog. Love the smiley face balloon picture~ it matches your bio (optimism). Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSusan, Thanks for the shout out and the link love! Hope you are enjoying the BBQ! I gotta get me some of your crab befor its all gone.
ReplyDeleteHow about I bring some escargot. After all the rain we have gotten, I can pick quite a few of them out of my gardens. Fried or baked?
ReplyDeleteHi, All. Thanks so much for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteKittie- Whether ya found me by mistake or found me on purpose, I'm glad you're here. Welcome aboard.
Donna- Better get some watermelon to top it off!
Liz- What's not to love about chocolate rum cake? Good to meet you.
Donna- Welcome aboard, ma'am. Yeah, steamed crabs are one of our favorite indulgences. Glad you liked the CT post, but it isn't "my" state. We hail from MD, but moved to GA in '71. I've been highlighting one state each Friday . . . in alphabetical order. Started out as a way to make fun of some of the cockamamie laws still on the books, but it's taken on a life of its own. Fun, though!
Cro- Not a huge fan of figs, but peaches and wine ... all RIGHT!
Jeremy- Thank you, sir. Welcome aboard.
Jess- Ah, another crab lover! Welcome. Hope your hubby's birthday party is a huge success.
Karen- My pleasure, ma'am. And thank you for hosting the fun.
Starting Over- Ummmmm, thanks, but I'd rather eat the wet grass. Have a great weekend.
Hi Susan! Thanks for coming by my blog, I'm stopping in to grab some of that decadent chocolate cake, yum! So glad to meet you, and I'm looking forward to following. Love the title of your blog and the Mrs. Potato Head! :)
ReplyDeleteHi-ya, Julie. My pleasure, and thanks for returning the call. Glad you like the weirdo title. (kinda suits me!)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! I've come from Karen's BBQ and wanted to visit your blog and say hello! Love your attitude and wow...you look too young to be a grandma! :) So great to meet you. I'll be back soon for another visit!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the BBQ and meeting so many new bloggy friends. Look forward to reading lots more "fun" facts in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi, Betsy. Thank you so much for stopping by, dear lady. (pssst, I've always looked younger than my age, but there's a painting of me that looks a hundred and fifty.) I'll be visiting your blog in a little bit.
ReplyDeleteHi, Liza. Yeah, this has been fun, even if my husband has been teasing me over it. (He doesn't get the point of blogging, let alone a "virtual BBQ" ... that's an engineer for ya! )Great to meetcha.
