Well we didn’t get as much snow as others but made the most of it with some sledding and fun with ice.

Its been a long time since I posted and I really need to update this site with some new tools.  I am trying out one at the moment using Live Writer to update my articles.  In theory I should be able to add pictures and such much easier with this.

Testing Red Text!

Cocktail sauce is the standard condiment for all seafood.  A very basic recipe but I found I needed to add it to my site to go along with my Frogmore Stew recipe.

Ingredients:
Ketchup (about a quarter of a bottle)
Horseradish Sauce (found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store usually near the cheese. 2-4 Tablespoons)
Worchester Sauce (1 teaspoon)
Lemon Juice (1 teaspoon)

Now this is a very subjective recipe in that many people like their sauce different ways.  I personally like a hot/spicy version.  This is all controlled by the amount of horseradish sauce.

Take a small salad bowl and fill half way with your ketchup.  Now take 2 table spoons of horseradish sauce and mix in the ketchup.  Add one tea spoon of Worchester sauce and a about the same of lemon juice.  Stir and serve.  Add more or less horseradish for desired heat.  I probably would use 3-4 table spoons in a small bowl.

Also, try and make this 20 minutes before serving and let stand at room temperature.  This seems to make the taste more bold.   Do not refrigerate the sauce as the cold sauce is not good on your seafood.

Well, I have been working on a Google Map version of the maps of Matt Edwards'.  I got a first draft up tonight here.  I am still adding the ME's in there.  Also, I am going to have to go back pre #58 and look up where people were from to re map it since you can get fairly precise in Google Maps.

Well, we are up to triple digits!

Today ME from Minneapolis, Minnesota brought us to 100.

I just realized that many people that stop by this site are probably wondering if I am color blind.  :)  But the orange and purple does have some significance... they are the school colors of Clemson University where I went to school and got a BS in Biological Sciences.  I am a big fan of their football (american style) team the Clemson Tigers.  If you get a chance check out some of the history of Death Valley (the stadium where they play) it is pretty interesting.  It is one of the loudest stadiums in the world when its filled on Saturday afternoons.  Another interesting fact is that the Tigers make one of the most unique entrances in college football or as a famous sports caster tagged it "the most exciting 25 secs in college football."  You can read more about it at Wikipedia.

Also, check out Clesmon's site to see what its all about.

Man I can't believe it one away from 100!

Had Matt Edwards from Winnipeg, Canada email me yesterday.  Hes' #99.
