What are you eating and drinking as you watch the Convention?

[malaise]

By the way I hope Dems don't change a damned thing about the stage

[emulatorloo]

1. Coffee wine scotch depending on the time of day

[malaise]

11. No strong drinks for me

It's too hot. Almost frozen iced cold coconut water or blended fruit

Mostly nuts, fried chick peas & fruits (tangerines, pineapple and local peaches), chocolate for late night
Monday night I actually made chicken cheese burgers (damn they were good).

[emulatorloo]

13. Sounds delicious! Grilling burgers tonight!

[malaise]

24. Enjoy

[Throd]

2. Steel Reserve 211

cheap malt liquor

[msongs]

3. cArrots at the moment. turned the sound off for the religious propaganda. is the DNC only for

christians. seems like it

[malaise]

12. Have to agree - I mute all of them

regardless of denomination and just like here it's the endless christian version of the BS.

[emulatorloo]

16. Muslim gave the invocation yesterday

Wingnut heads must have exploded.

I don't mind the religious stuff personally.

[pinboy3niner]

4. Coffee'd out, so I opened a beer

And I'm slow-cooking some smoked bacon for a BLT.

[malaise]

33. Enjoy

[jmg257]

5. Why - What have you heard about the stage? The company I work for built most

of it and our system automates the lectern lift and the periactoids behind.
I thought it looked really good!


Anyway, Jax Cheese Doodles the last 2 nights (& Fat Tire beer)

[emulatorloo]

18. GOP liars claiming there are no flags. (Even though there are flags)

[jmg257]

22. Ah thanks!! nt

[malaise]

39. Your stage is lovely

[pinboy3niner]

46. +1

As an aside, I once worked for Jim King, the guy who was called back from retirement to stage-manage the 2004 Democratic Convention. A great Dem, who started as an advance man for JFK. Jimmy Carter later named him head of OPM, then Chairman of NTSB.

While I was working as a volunteer for John Kerry in Ohio, a friend of Kerry's told me that every advance person in the party at that time had been trained by Jim King.

[pinboy3niner]

45. Not to mention the military Color Guard doing the flag presentation at each day's opening

Followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. How un-American can you get?

[femmocrat]

30. Great job! Very classy.

I really like the changing backgrounds behind the speakers.

And it doesn't look like a giant toilet like the RNC!

[jmg257]

47. Ha thanks! We did a moving wall for them - and they only used it once.

[malaise]

34. Sorry - the decorations - Don the Con was pushing the line

that Dems are unpatriotic unless they fill up the place with flags and flag pins. Apparently that is patriotism

[Scurrilous]

6. Jalepeno Pretzel Pieces and milk.

Yeah.. I'll gain some weight.

[jmg257]

7. Snyders are so damn tasty - I like the garlic ones! nt

[Cirque du So-What]

17. And sooo crunchy!

They're addictive, I tell ya!

[procon]

19. Maple - Bacon! Hard to find, but I'd snort the last bit of crumbs. nt

[emulatorloo]

20. Got a couple bags of the Snyder gluten free honey mustard here

Did you know the gluten free ones don't make you fat? At least that's the lie I keep telling myself lol.

[malaise]

23. ROFL

We exercise and watch what we eat but I can tell you I have never gone looking for gluten free anything.

On the other hand my best friend from childhood only eats gluten free because of her health issues.

I'm lucky - I'm not allergic to anything

[malaise]

21. Anything with pepper is good

I think you'd like Masala roasted peanuts - you cant stop eating them.

[HipChick]

8. Saltfish and dumplings...

Have to slow down on the beer though, as I will not make it till Obama..

[malaise]

14. Damn that sounds good

Coconut milk in there?

[Phentex]

[malaise]

15. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

sounds delish

[demmiblue]

10. They did. n/t

[procon]

25. The free range grazing lamp is on.

Freshly made guacamole and pico de gallo, tons of tortilla chips, hot and cheesy quesadillas, Margaritas, and ginger sun tea. Still thinking about what sweet treats for later.

[malaise]

27. Sounds great

Would enjoy

[Siwsan]

26. Lots and lots of ice tea and popsicles

It is H-O-T, H-O-T, H-O-T in Flint, Michigan today.

[malaise]

28. Same here

in Kingston. There's a breeze so it's not unbearable.

[redstatebluegirl]

29. Last week was 14 year old scotch that was a gift from a friend.

This week white wine, I don't need to be completely wasted to watch our convention.

[malaise]
