    This is not a promise but If I can get together with one of my fisherman buddies, does everyone like clams? We can do a clam boil also! I may be able to round that up by then. I just need to know if everyone likes them.

    Yes you'll definitely have to get some apple sausage. I am telling the out of towner's to place an order well ahead of time!

    Rolls meat market Altoona PA (only 10 minutes for the GTG)
    (814) 942-2329
    When you place an order you'll have to pay half of it up front with a credit card.
    You can go to their website and look at all their other selections.

    And while you're there you can go two blocks up the street to Blocher's meat market and buy the best bacon that you've EVER had! If you like smokey stuff then you'll love their bacon!

    Im hoping to be make it the 9th for the morning and afternoon. My nephew is getting married Saturday. That poor guy.

    T.Jeff Veal if you have the time and are interested I may be able to get you to tour Gettysburg battlefield with my dad. He's a civil war buff and loves to take folks around the battlefield. You can read about that battle but you can't really understand the courage and horrors those men faced until you're standing there.

    That would be great. Thanks for the offer. We have a small battlefield about 45 minutes from home. We stopped by there one day, it was something, just the feelings, like their spirits were still around us.

    I would rather think the guy was not poor, but happy and blessed.

    I should say poor girl. I don't know what she's doing with my nephew. Told him better not screw this up.

    I, for one, am excited for this GTG! We will have a blast doing these pizzas on Friday night, I'm gonna have to teach blacksmith how to use the peel in the brick oven so I can have a breather and enjoy some pizza myself.....lol

    So do you guys and gals want pizzas?......

    20220723_202751.jpg

    20220723_203926.jpg

    or calzones/strombolis?......

    20220812_200040.jpg

    20220812_203907.jpg

    Or both????

    20220918_200140.jpg

    20220812_204642.jpg

    Let's consider both, maybe do a smorgasbord or buffet-style setup where we can sample and try different stuff. We will do traditional pizza, meat-lovers pizza, Buffalo chicken pizza, white pizza, and even a Rueben pizza (trust me it's amazing)......

    We'll try and do a movie on the projector by the old colonial hearth if the weather and time permits.

    At any rate, we will have a good time so try and be here for pizza night!!
