Lake Erie Perch for the win!

Erie Perch!

I was born in PA .. I guess we use to go to Erie for vacations... That's what I have been told .. I was tiny...

The one part I do remember was these 2 big women sitting right at the water line with (i think) bamboo poles no reels...

They just kept whooping the lines into the water and yanking fish out in a heartbeat .. maybe bluegill!

I still can see them in my mind I was 3 or 4

Champaign tops my list, though gin and soda (don't like tonic) with a twist of lemon is tasty.

I still haven't ever liked any sort of diet soda. I don't drink soda often, but when I do, I certainly go for the real stuff. Maybe I'll get some root beer this weekend.

You guys are smart and probably would have figured it out, but I realized that I did not clarify: after the pork is done cooking, you do not use the liquid that it cooked in. Discard it.

And good luck to Peter, Murph, and whoever else tries this. Let me know how it goes!

Not sure if he is but if you wait a minute, Micah probably will say it. I think it is his "Phrase of the Week".

Micah doesn't have phrases of the week, he has paragraphs of the week.

THat is why his series of "You Bastard" posts were so distinctive.

But ultimately derivative.
