Fifty Plus (50+) - Pirate Party Room

Go away. I'm trying to clean the place up for the 19th. You're tracking in dirt, and I just washed the floors.

Just getting the music ready.

Now to prepare the food:


Hard Tack Recipe
2 cups of flour
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
6 pinches of salt
1 tablespoon of shortening (optional)

Mix all the ingredients into a batter and press onto a cookie sheet to a thickness of ½ inch.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (205°C) for one hour.
Remove from oven, cut dough into 3-inch squares, and punch four rows of holes, four holes per row into the dough (a fork works nicely).
Flip the crackers and return to the oven for another half hour.

Some recipes also recommend a second baking at 250°F (120°C) to thoroughly dry out the bread.



"Bone Soup"
Life at Sea was difficult so "Pirate Bone Soup" was made from anything and everything from animal bones, fish bones to even bone and flesh from rats that were living aboard the ships when rations were low. In the Caribbean, they also caught turtle for fresh meat which was sometimes added to soups.

Here's what you need
A pot full of any kind of bones will do (beef, chicken, pork)
A miscellaneous mix would be great.
Add your favorite vegetables and potatoes.
You know.... just cook up your favorite pot of soup but make absolutely sure its packed full of bones.
Add your favorite herbs and spices.
Most Important!!!!! The magical ingredient is VINEGAR! You must add some vinegar to the pot of soup in order to force the calcium in the bones to dissolve from the bones into the soup juice.
Just 1 pint of soup can give you as much as 1,000 milligrams of calcium. Wow!
Now let the bones stew for 4 hours or even longer.
Make sure all the meat has either fell off the bones or just starting to fall off the bone before you serve.
Bones had tons of flavor to all recipes!


Salmagundi

1 part salted, pickled beef or pork.
1 part fresh goat, dog, rat, cat or seabird.
1 part pickled vegetables, eggs, anchovies.
1 part grapes, crabapples, fresh fish, breadfruit "spagetti" and black banana mush.

Add tons of garlic, sugar, honey, salt, vinegar, oil, wine, cinnamon to taste. Serve hot from the cauldron. Garnish with musty croutons and wilted greens.

Um, no offense, S, but ewwww! I think I'll eat before I arrive. Darned pickled pig's feet are hard to digest.

Thanks just the same. 'Preciate the clean room and ambiance. Hope you have something to counteract the stench that some of these unwashed scabbies will bring with them.

>clears throat, adjusts vocal chords to "gravel" setting<

I'm hongry for grits, cornpone, taters stewed with ramps, and johnny cakes.

Is this here the right room?

Red Rider, maybe we could light some citronella in the yaarrrrrrd.

Tom, I don't know! That sounds more like the "Southern Gentleman" room down the hall.

This is either madness or brilliance.....its remarkable how often those two shreds coincide...

This could replace my daily calcium supplements:thumb:

Concerned about dirt!? Wait until the parrots arrive!

Hope you have something to counteract the stench that some of these unwashed scabbies will bring with them.

>clears throat, adjusts vocal chords to "gravel" setting<

Red Rider, I think the grog will help with the smell, and the gravel!

I could use some single-malt grog.

This is either madness or brilliance.....its remarkable how often those two shreds coincide...

It's both - I love it!

Arrrrrrr. We'll turn ye inter a swabbie yet!

I don't have enough parking for everyone, so....

Get yourself a pirate name! (http://gangstaname.com/pirate_name.php)

Mine is Fartin' Wallace Dread

It's that time of the year again!

September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/)

Or, according to Pirate Speak Translator (http://www.talklikeapirateday.com/translate/)

Aye, tis' that time o' the year again Ye'll ne'er get me buried booty!

Ahoy, September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, shiver me timbers!

A sailor meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns telling about their adventures on the seas. The sailor notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook and an eye patch.

The sailor asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate replies: "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."

"Wow!" said the sailor. "What about the hook?"

"Well," replied the pirate, "we were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."

"Incredible!" said the sailor. "And how did you get the eye patch?"

"A seagull-dropping fell into my eye," replied the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a seagull-dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.

"Well," said the pirate,"it was my first day with the hook..."

Now, scoot, mateys. I have dogs and have to swab their poop decks...I mean, exercise areas.

Are the dogs ready for the party?

Are the dogs ready for the party?

They got into the bone soup, so I have to revise the menu.

HEY! Y'know what would be fun?

We should go on a raid. We should go over to, say, SSFG and just commandeer the board! Just like real pirates do! We could board her, drink all her rum, and then begone!

I hereby christen this party room "Port Royal".

A very interesting history for the city that "sank"

I hereby christen this party room "Port Royal".

Better than Port Apoti.

Better than Port Apoti.

Arrrrrr! :D

Starting to get crowded in here!

Before you attend, you should go here and get your "Pirate Name"

http://www.piratequiz.com/

Stand aside for Dirty Jack Kidd, or you'll need your red shirt. Or maybe your brown pants.

Seriously! We should go hoist the jolly roger in a different forum and claim it for the day. Foo would be most appropriate, but the roadies have given us some grief in the past year. SSFG would be the most fun, because it would be something they would do.

I've tried a couple sites for my pirate name and can't decide which one to use....

Munchkin Lucy Hagger

Iron Ethel Cash

Cap'n Jen Jailbait

Cap'n Jen Jailbait doesn't sound quite like 50+ Bev??? In fact, it doesn't even sound like it came from a "pirate" website...:)

It seems that I am Captain Davy Bonney, who is a bit off of his rocker.

Ahoy, my name is Grey Beard.
The mar mention o' my ship's name, The Golden Jewel strikes fear int' the
hearts o' all MUP'ers all o'er the globe. Arrr, she's sleek and fast with a
shallow keel and a ruthless crew. Yep, not a sin'le Ruth among them.
Aye, me parrot concurs.

Brrin', brrin' get out o' my way. Gar.

I hope it was a "pirate" website:o

It was the one deraltekluge had in his post.

Pirate Darby the Dagger here. Ahoy, fortunately Me don't teach tomorrow. Gar, Where can I find a bottle o'rum? Or better yet, whisky. Me hate rum.

Oh, no. I got "Talk Like a Pirate Day" mixed up with "Annual Pie Ride". I'm doing them both tomorrow, It will be "The Annual Ride Like a Pie-rate Day" for me.

Due to my love of France- Capn- "Pont Le Veque" reporting. And if any of you know Normandy- You will realise that I am the "Big Cheese"

But Sacrilidge-Whisky on board ship? Has to be Pussers* Rum Or Cognac

* Pussers--- Any thing that is service issue and if you have ever had Genuine Navy Rum- You would not drink anything else on board ship.

And going back to the days when it was unsafe to drink the water onboard ship- British naval ratings used to have an issue of beer every day. And at around 8 pints a day- it was surprising the England once ruled the waves.

I tried the site from deraltekluge but "Stuttering Bill Smyth" didn't do it for me.

The site I posted came up with "Captain Sam Read"

Neither one seemed comfortable with Maddmaxx as a starting point.......:)

As for the English Navy ruling the waves............that was when (as all american sailors would know) the chief competition was the French or the Spaniards....:innocent:

Going by the inference- We have a saying over here- "Go tell it to the Marines"

If the Marines believe it- It must be true- :innocent::innocent: But it must be the Royal Marines and it must be a serving one. Bit hard to find at present as they are all in Afghanistan and Iraq- Helping Out the Americans.

Arr...ye bilge rats, you be swabbin' the deck an' scrapin' barnacles or me name ain't Mad Roger Flint!

Dirty Tom Bonney, here, mateys. I'm thinking of going by "OCR Tom Bonney" tho.

The other site came up with "Semi-evil Tom Read".

I be Eel Skin Madeline. I likes it much. Eel skin is verrrrry soft.

all these pirate seemin' names here abouts.... just call me squidge... quietly.... and not often.

Red Rider, maybe we could light some citronella in the yaarrrrrrd.

Tom, I don't know! That sounds more like the "Southern Gentleman" room down the hall.

Did someone say "Southern Gentleman"?

Let me hold the door open for them! Or I'll buy the whiskey. Whichever they prefer?

Dirty Jack Kidd has a serious question for the rest of the room. Is it OK for me and the rest of the pirates and crew to like a glass or two of a good Chardonnay or is like pusser's rum mandatory? Cause if pusser's is mandatory, I smell mutiny on the bounding main. I mean I like that the name sounds dirty and all that, but come on. Chardonnay is better. Right men?

I'm hongry for grits, cornpone, taters stewed with ramps, and johnny cakes.

Is this here the right room?

That's what's cooking in Granny's kitchen, right down the hall in the Beverly Hillbillies Party Room. Don't forget your pot passer. I hear Virginia Baked Possum is the special tomorrow.

The Code is more of what you call guidelines than actual rules, welcome to Port Royal Mr. Terrierman...:D

I can't believe no-one's done this yet ...

... but why are we called pirates?

Because we arrrrrrrhhhh!!!
