Nice bike Patty!! Have fun wearing it out!!
Meet "Scarlett"
- Thread starter Peppermint
- Start date
Very nice, Patty!! I'm looking forward to seeing Miss Scarlett the Suzucati Moto Mint 650. Sweet motor. A little different ride than the Vulcan, but you're gonna do just fine, and I really think you'll like it for many miles to come.

Why thank you kindly, Mr. Cooper! I have a feeling Miss Scarlett'd turn some heads in Lubbock...
Different ride indeed! I believe the expression "You had me at hello" applies to how I felt about this bike immediately after the test ride!!
You'll have to take her for a spin and tell me what you think!
Yes, most people ride those potato bikes and something fast and red would make for alot of 'what was that.'
Congratulations on your new ride Patty. I'm partial to the sweet retro look of my Boulevard, but your Scarlett is a real attention-getter.
I hope you have many, many happy kms riding down the road with her.
Bien fait! :clap2:

Merci, Abby! I'll try to do her justice.
And I agree about your Boulevard - I love the lines of that bike too!

Icecream? For breakfast?!? I haven't done that...Oh never fear, Dean, I'll be down to harass you all one of these days! Maybe we can all go out for ice cream for breakfast!!
...because it's just wrong - no, can't say that with a guilt-free conscience
...because that isn't part of the Canadian Food Guide - as if that has stopped me before! Have you seen my physique?!?
...ever - no, can't say that as there were too many witnesses
...frequently - I can get away with that
...since September - the most accurate word one yet
...since September 2010 - even more accurate
And it was really, really, REALLY good icecream! Might even be worth a trip back there someday
But don't worry, if you are in the area I know a superb icecream place not too far away.

How else can you have pie ? la mode?

A very good question! But in the particular case in question, it was a matter of icecream immediately following a breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Perhaps there is a linguist who knows the proper term - English or French - for that particular combination?!?

Hmmm. I'm not sure what the proper word for it would be in English (other than heart-attack-on-a-plate) or French (quoi?? Pas de poutine avec ?a??), but I do believe it was originally made famous by the Roman emperor, Porcus Maximus!!
And it really was delicious ice cream..."pumpkin spice," wasn't it?

Ambrosia, food of the gods.
This does raise some interesting questions:
Are the pancakes made with buttermilk and garnished with fresh berries? What grade is the maple syrup?
Is the bacon belly or back, and if back, peameal or plain?
Are the eggs scrambled, over easy, sunny side, poached, hard boiled...?
Is the pie spice pumpkin, apple, cherry, blueberry....?
Is the ice cream vanilla? Probably, but made with eggs or without?
When do we eat?

Aww, ta much, Houndy!

I had to look up that word but it made me smile when I did! Definitely appropriate.
Porcus Maximus is one of my favourite guys! Don't think he had a chance in the gladiator ring but he enjoyed himself around the dinner tableHmmm.

And, for the record, pumpkin spice was the flavour. Of the first scoop! There was a decadent chocolate carmel crackle scoop that chased down that one...
I did feel on top of the world as I was enjoying every single tasty calorie
And now to answer the interrogation:
The pancakes were hot, fluffy, and tasty. Don't recall if they were buttermilk. The syrop was definitely ungraded, and not on par with Quebec's finest nectar.
The bacon was crispy belly bacon (it's SO much healthier when it is crispy!)
The eggs were scrambled.
There was no pie, it was an icrecream flavour that was pumpkin spice.
And I can't answer the last question because I don't know when I'll be back to that fabulous dinner!

Congratulations! I can here the excitement in your voice! Nothing like a new toy and the anticipation it brings while waiting for that first date together.
I have a request. Can we get a picture of you in a Mountie hat and a bottle of your favorite scotch standing in front of your new ride? :yes:
