I started with the basic cheese pizza, 2 big slices and a drink > $5. Good, too. Will return for some more fancy stuff and photos. Maybe even some video of throwing pizzas.
Mostly candid snapshots, taken leisurely, in and around the Historic Olde Towne Section of Portsmouth, Virginia, sprinkled with news of events and other happenings. Running behind in my posts, so check the links on the sidebar > Thanks for stopping by.

Cactus Clyde's Dragon Breath Chili
Arrrgh! I accidentally deleted my Chili recipe. I'll try to recover it from my files. I hate it when that happens.

2 teaspoons Bacon Bits
1/2 cup strong Coffee
1 can (15 oz.) Chili Beans

1 can (15 oz.) Kidney Beans
1 can (28 oz.) Diced Tomatoes w/ juice
1 can (15 oz.) Stewed whole Tomatoes, plain or seasoned
1 can (8 oz). Tomato Sauce
1 can (6 oz.) Tomato Paste
8 oz. jar diced pimentos, drained

1 bag corn chips such as Fritos® or Tostados
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack
1 8 oz. jar Sour Cream
2 Limes, quartered
Corn Bread if desired
Directions:
1. Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease
2. Remove meat (the beef and the pork). Brown the rest of the ground meat, drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
3. Add the garlic and onion, cook and stir until tender.
4. Add the other half of the meat and the tomato sauce, coffee, beer, chili powder, bouillon, cumin, paprika, oregano, coriander, cocoa, cinnamon and hot sauce. Mix well.
5. Pour in the chili beans, spicy or other beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season to taste with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and pimentos. Stir to blend.
6. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered , for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
7. In a small bowl, stir together the cornmeal and flour, then add the warm water and mix well.
8. Stir into chili and cook, covered, for an additional 20 minutes.
Grease an 8-inch square pan, cast iron skillet, or cornbread mold. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. To dry mixture, add egg, milk, sour cream, oil, and jalapenos and mix until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
* Note:
Dragonbreath Chili
(In the World of Warcraft) is a delicacy especially handy for melee fighters. When eaten, it provides a ten minute buff which grants the user a potential fiery breath attack when struck in combat. Dramatic and highly visible, this fiery breath is an AoE and will hit multiple targets as long as they're in front. The fire breath attack has the potential to critically hit, though the player has no control over when or how often it will happen. Because a character's spellpower bonuses increase the damage the fiery breath does, the chili is best eaten by classes that do melee and magical attacks, such as paladins and shamans. http://www.wowwiki.com

On Leaving Facebook
-----Original Message-----
From: Clyde To: Sent: Sun, Dec 16, 2012 10:38 pm
"When you ride the Big Blue Bus for free, you have to sit down, shut up and enjoy the view." I'm gonna sit up front so I can see where I'm going and I'm not sharing lunch (or photographs) with the driver.
Probably going to stick my neck out, but I'm posting some links that may have prompted this decision.
I have let my guard down in the name of entertainment and sharing. I'm sorry, but the negatives outweigh the positives. Now that my friends know where to find me, I don't think I need FB anymore. I knew this going in and was hesitant at first. Now, I'm almost addicted. I have thoroughly enjoyed the trip, but I need to get out before they completely own me.

10 Reasons Why You Should Never Trust Facebook Facebook is like a force of nature. No matter how much you batten down the hatches, stock up on canned foods, cross your fingers, or come out guns blazing with an army of high priced lawyers, the monster of all media platforms is going to eat you and your privacy alive then fart out Farmville or some garbage. But just as you can have a gentle rain one day and a hurricane the next, the sheer size of Facebook can lead to “social networking” problems you hadn’t anticipated or want to experience. Here are 10 reasons why you should never trust Facebook.
Their Reputation Don’t be naive and think that nothing bad could happen just because many people haven’t had any problems with Facebook. Besides, people who have had problems might not share their experiences because they are embarrassed.
Their Privacy Policy Facebook has the right to change their privacy policies as they think best. So what you think you’ve agreed to at one time may change in the future.
Their (Lack of / Ambiguous) Updates Don’t expect to be informed about the latest scams and other online threats immediately. A behemoth like Facebook takes time to do things.
Their Buyers In The Marketplace Fraud is rampant and a check that seems good may turn out to be fraudulent.
Adjusting Your Account The procedure to make changes to your account is confusing at best, and difficult to the point where you may end up foregoing it altogether.
Their Pictures No one is going to put an unflattering picture of themselves on their Facebook page. And it might not even be a picture of themselves that you see.
Friends of a Friend It’s too easy for someone to appear to be a friend of one of your friends. Accepting him or her might seem the polite thing to do, but there could be unexpected consequences. Friends Being friended may seem like a special privilege but it is not. You can be fooled into having a “friend” who has ulterior motives that are not in your best interest.
Relationship Status A relationship is all about trust. The lack of one-on-one that is inherent in Facebook disallows that from the get-go.
Yourself Things you wouldn’t say to someone in the “real” world becomes easy when a computer screen separates you. Like telling everyone that you are on vacation or saying the wrong thing because you think it’s “funny.” It could end up landing you in hot water.

- Facebook made big news this week after reports came out of a new user agreement that basically makes it possible for Facebook to turn your wall posts into a g*ddamn coffee table book (or do whatever else they want to try to make money off of your life). Well, needless to say, everyone freaked the hell out out. And after two days of protest, Facebook decided to revert back to their previous terms of service. But don’t be fooled – the battle is not over and they will do everything in their power to control your content. The only cure is to get out now, while you still can. And we have the answer: the exact link for where you need to go to permanently delete your Facebook account! This doesn’t just deactivate your account until you decide to log back in and start where you left off. This will delete all of your information – pictures, messages, everything. So only do this if never want to use your profile ever again. To delete your account, just logged-in, go to this page, click “submit” and your account is gone forever… That’s it. Viva la Resistance!

Going to have to put these in my blog so I won't lose them. My email address is VA Myth Buster@aol.com. Been doing this (Busting Myths) since I've had a computer.

Starboards is Closed :-(
My favorite spot for good coffee and for meeting people and making new friends is closed and the owners, two of my favorite folks, Betsy and David Cartier, have pulled up stakes and hitched their wagon and are heading for new horizons. Yes, Peeps, Starboards Coffee Kiosk served their last cup of delicious brew Friday at 2:00 PM. Though I hate to see them leave, I wish them the best in their new adventure. Starboards had been the launchpad for my street photography and hub for meeting many new friends. Check out their FB page and see the recognition and appreciation they received from the USCG.
