Where’s The Salt?
Did you ever have a dream
that was so awesome that you were angry that you woke up?
Now guys I’m not talking
about that dream where you were invited to the Playboy Mansion,
and ladies I am not talking about that dream where Brad
Pitt is vacuuming your living room in boxers and Mathew
McConaughey is bring you diet cokes shirtless.
No I am talking about that
dream that just haunted you, …stayed with you for
a few days…maybe a few weeks. Maybe the dream was
so unusual you actually purchased a dream interpretation
book, only to find out it didn’t make any sense.
Ever have a dream like that?
Me too……

A recipe from our
long standing parrot head privateer pirate LeAnn Dix.
Here's a recipe I have been
meaning to send since the last shrimp boil.
Whoopie Pies(cut
out from some magazine I get)
Grease large baking sheet. In a bowl, beat 3/4 cup softened
butter, 1 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 2 tsp baking
powder and 1 tsp baking soda 2 minutes or until creamy.
Beat in 2(1oz) squares melted unsweetened chocolate and
2 large eggs. Beat in 3/4 milk then 2 1/3 cup all purpose
flour. Drop batter by heaping tablespoon onto prepared baking
sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes
or until tops spring back when lightly pressed. Be sure
to make an even number of cookies. Remove to wire rack and
cool completely.
In another bowl, beat 1
(8oz) cream cheese, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 1/2 cup confectioners
sugar and 1 tsp vanilla until fluffy. Spread half of cookies
with filling; top with remaining cookies, flat side in.
Press lightly. Enjoy.

Orlando Concert
The Parrot Heads of Central Florida are fortunate to
have Mr. Buffett coming to our home town of Orlando on February
25 for a concert. We are organizing a huge tailgate party,
and the net proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross Haiti
Relief Fund. I’ll report back later about how much
we raised!
If anyone is planning
to be in or near Orlando on that date, please e-mail me,
and I’ll provide more info about buying tickets to
our tailgate party. We’d love to party with Parrot

This Hotel Room
Island Inhabitants,
As you all know, the 15th Annual This Hotel Room PHlocking
will be at the Ramada Northwest Inn on Friday, March 20,
from noon til somewhere wayyyyyyyy past Dark 30. We're very
excited to have the Cedar Island Band traveling back to
our Quaint Island to provide their brand of great TropRock
for your listening and, especially, your Dancin' pleasure!
For those of you who were at the 13th Annual THR, you remember
the CIB as they put on a terrific and really, really fun
show. Jambo will be opening and as always, we'll have the
Ol' RCA Victrola to fill in before, during breaks, and after
the live music stops.
We'll have the Buffett
Buffet, our always terrific silent and live auctions, the
song board, and drawings for terrific prize(s). Remember
to bring a dish to pass at the Buffet and any donation you
have for the silent auction the day of the PHlocking.
The hotel has blocked
our rooms for $79 plus tax (app $86 total) for Saturday
night and registration is open either via PayPal or by check
to the club PO Box. Just click on the THR link for all the
registration details. We kept the price the same as last
year - $25/member preregistered and $30/person for non-members
and late member registration. Pre-registration ends on March
6. The ParrotHead block of rooms is available until Friday,
Feb 20, so get your reservations in ASAP.
And if that's not exciting
enough.... back by popular demand....it' s the Night Before
THR pre-party. We have a block of rooms available for $59
plus tax for Friday night for those who want to come early.
Water Park tickets will be a maximum of $9,95 (the hotel
is working on a better rate) for those staying either both
nights or just Saturday night. Hopefully, we'll have even
more news about the pre-party shortly.

speaking to a LOCAL representative when you book your rooms.

You Can Help "Make
A Difference" For These Kids Too!
Along with Camp Gilbert,
this year's "Make A Difference" charity will include
support for children with arthritis through the Arthritis
Foundation.
More than 7,000 children in Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota have some form of arthritis. Without proper
diagnosis, treatment, access to therapies, and qualified
rehabilitation specialists, these children can face a lifetime
of pain and disability associated with the disease.
Funds raised through MAD
'10 will support educational and therapeutic programs for
adults and children including a monthly family support group,
newsletters and scholarships for Camp M.A.S.H. and the Juvenile
Alliance Conference. Camp M.A.S.H. scholarships send a child
living with juvenile arthritis to camp in Wisconsin Dells,
Wisc. for one week. Juvenile Alliance Conference sponsorships
send families with a child affected by arthritis to a national
conference that is fun, informative and rewarding, while
extending their network of support.
Join us to help raise awareness
and funds to fight juvenile arthritis. It is a great opportunity
to help improve the lives of the 46 million men and women,
and the 300,000 children in the United States with doctor-diagnosed
with arthritis.
