The Kaptain checking in....

oh and umm, Adam, if i can't manage to keep blueberries safe enough during an 8 hour flight, how will i keep lobsters fresh for 2, 650 miles of driving? 

Easy... buckle a fish tank into the front seat, and try not to bond with them too much on the long drive. 

 

[Maineahhh]

yeah, that would be a sight, uh Hope?? HA!!

Okay Sarah, if you want to do Blueberries this year how about freezing them and using them as ice packs in the cooler!

Auntie Hope  

haha, yeah, wouldn't want to make the same mistake as last year . . . although I got a nice pair of purple died pants out of the deal (however, not sure Continental airlines enjoyed my choice of seat color for their new upholstery).

they'll keep for weeks packed in ice. just don't ask them to share the driving.

[Maineahhh]

that just sounds weird to me. we usually don't eat lobsters unless they were alive when cooked (awwww, man that's sad). And uh, sorry everyone, but this broke grad student soon to be real worlder can't afford lobsters for all you hungry people!

Although not much rivals Maine blueberries I may actually have just the thing! A foodie pal included some canned (well, jarred) blueberries in our christmas gift package. I've been thinking of some sort of dessert topping but they'd be marvelous as a glaze for lamb. Say the Kaptain and they're packed in our gear.

love, kym

Oooooh... that sounds delicous Kym.  You bring the berries and I'll smoke the lamb!

P.S.  Yessssss Anne... I did promise Hippie Jerry and others that I'd take it easy on everybody this year at the TBF regarding the amount of gear I show-up with and ask help with.  I've made a personal promise not to tow the trailer... but someone else can! 

P.P.S.  Sarah - Erndog wants to drive the Love Bus from the East Coast out to Telluride this summer.  He has a big 12-volt cooler that will keep those lobsters alive... hint hint wink wink.

Since Sarah is a poor grad student BUT those lobsters would be mighty fine- how about we establish a "lobster fund"?
And, honestly, I think they would do just fine in an aquarium strapped to the front seat...LOL

and you have given me some ideas..LOL.. We may go to Maine at the end of our summer road trip so boys and I will be driving back from there- I may pack the aquarium..... I would never have thought of this wonderful idea without all of you.....
