Sigh me up for reservations

No man is a failure who is enjoying life.

I didn’t know Santa peddled beer in the off season!

Have never met a Santa that is 6’04" and drinks beer and has a hot Mrs. Santa that could out fish and out drink most folks.

two lumps of coal for you.

You know something Len, when I was growing up Santa was about 6’3" I think his older brother was 6’4". My mother was a very attractive woman and was where I learned to fish when I was about 4 or 5 years old. If I learned my mother had ever consumed anything with alcohol in it, with the exception of cough syrup, I would be surprised.

Us southern country boy figure everybody’s legs are the same length, they run from the ground to your butt.

Looking for a seafood soup or something with a temperature I have done gumbo lots of times.
Have scallops,shrimp,squid,scallops, and octopus in freezer.

Any recipe for these ingredients would be appreciated.

This recipe looks killer.
