Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

The funny part is the red icing (imitating the tomato slices) turned Elgin's lips pink.
I looked like he was wearing lipstick! ...........or maybe he was

Maybe John could attach a photo of him after he ate the cake

He got the burger cake from Price Chopper.

Did Elgin wear a Heinz shirt on purpose or was that just a coincidence?

Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

My supervisor at work buys everyone a cake from a local supermarket on their birthday. Based upon numerous past experiences, I have convinced them all that red icing is perhaps one of the nastiest-tasting things on the face of the planet. We believe it has something to do with the red colored dye leaving a bitter, chemical aftertaste. Our group has banned red-icing birthday cakes from now to eternity. I was just curious if Connecticut cakes sporting red icing displayed any similar taste nastiness?

Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

Actually.. lol I bought the Heinz shirt cause everyone makes fun of me for my love of Heinz Ketchup on Eggs. Why? I don't know. I'm sure I'm not alone on this one.

Anyways, I found that shirt at Kohl's, and had to get it.

It was kind of planned.. since I bought the cake (2 of them actually) that day and I had the Ketchup shirt on when I bought them.

It was quite amusing.


And, thanks for uploading the icing pic John.
I look like a Geisha Girl. lol I think I need a tan. I'm so pasty.. blah!

1. Nope, you're definitely not the only one. I never understood what was so wrong with putting ketchup on eggs (or mac and cheese, for that matter).

2. Now...That's a scary thought. *shudders*

So how are the Burger cakes elgin? I have always wanted to pick one up at work but haven't had a good enough reason to yet...

Also, I too have ketchup on my scrambled eggs... It's good

Edit: The second picture is so much better than the first!

Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

Having ketchup on your eggs is one thing, but Elgin has KETCHUP on his eggs. Sometimes I think there aren't even any eggs under all of that ketchup. I buy the huge size ketchup at COSTCO now so I have enough for Elgin.

You sure that was ketchup Jill? I thought that was the lipstick he stole from Laura (He likes to take stuff from the Canadians). =)

Uh oh, I don't like how that sounded Fin. I already admitted I look like a Geisha Girl in that cake frosting "lipstick" picture. What more harm or craziness can come from that pic?? LOL

A grinder is like a sub, but it's toasted and is usually larger.
I think grinder I think this

Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

My uncle eats ketchup on just about everything, including chicken noodle soup, popcorn, fried rice, cabbage... and so on. I used to hate the taste of eggs and the only way I would eat them was when they were smothered with either cheese or ketchup...

Well... at least the icing matches your shirt... so if you do decide to become a Geisha, you'll at least have a head start in your color coordination skills...

A little birdie has told me that IRI will be looking for items to auction off for next year.
Who knows, those pics may fetch more money than the stained glass window!

In New Jersey we referred to them as "heros".

I have never understood why they call them "grinders" up here.
I have yet to successfully sharpen my lawnmower blade with a ham and cheese grinder or even mount a wire wheel to one!

Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

I don't know about my pic fetching more than the stained glass window, but...I would gladly offer a fair trade between the pic, and a stained glass window though.. That thing was hawt!

Aye..
Further proof you can take the Jay out of New Jersey, but can't take the New Jersey out of Jay.

Re: pic: Team 237 Picnic

As I work at an Italian takeout/restaurant/catering/ice cream (which has nothing to do with anything) place which has grinders, I am an expert (lol).

This link has a picture of chez Dave putting a grinder in the oven. Basically, I describe sub v. grinder as yeast donut v. cake. Subs are more airy, more like a yeast donut with all the air bubbles etc. Grinders are more like bread or cake donuts, more grainy.

On topic, Elgin, that looks like a gigantic version of the "hamburgers" we used to make in Girl Scouts with Nilla Wafers and frosting!
