LOL! Schlitterbahn even has a castle, just like Braunfels:

Galveston is gross. I was there for a week about five years ago and wouldn't get into the water. But I got an awesome tan and my hair turned super blond.

I was the hottest 15 year old on the entire planet for that one week.

GuyfromGermany - LOL Yes, the Schlitterbahn "castle" is very impressive. Don't forget to check out Surfenberg! I imagine you laugh at Schlitterbahn the way I laughed at the Statue of Liberty and the Capitol Building in the American section of Heide Park. It was very cute.

Calvin, from the website, it looks like Galveston's Schlitterbahn is kind of small, but will be expanding in 2007. They do have a good idea with an area of the park under a retractable roof. It's not great, but it has potential. Nothing can beat the original Schlitterbahn in sheer size and beauty, however. It is a gorgeous park and you really need two days there to take everything in.

The most funny thing, in my opinion, is that I've never heard the term "Schlitterbahn" before! *g*
I guess it's supposed to be German but I only know "SchlitteNbahn" which means "coasting slide". They probably were confused about that letter!

I loved that one tube ride that took about 20 minutes and tossed you in the gross, lilypad-filled river at the end. But when I used to go as a kid, I was so skinny that I wouldn't have enough momentum to break the current and would always get stuck floating around in circles.

Calvin - Believe it or not, I was once that skinny as well. The same thing happened to me. You had to paddle your arms and legs off to get going again. That was such a great ride. I just didn't like walking through the squishy river mud to get out at the end, though.

The Loose Meat Sandwich served by Roseanne at the Lanford Lunch Box was just ground beef, seasonings, and maybe some finely chopped onion.

They can be found at a chain of fast food joints called "Maid-Rite" that still exists in small towns in the Midwest. The Maid-Rite place in Springfield, Illinois has been there since the 1920's, and it claims to have the oldest drive-thru window in existence.

My mom's sloppy joes where just browned ground beef, diced onion, a can of condensed tomato soup (i.e. dirt cheap Campbell's), and seasonings (usually just chili powder). If you get it thicker than you like you can just add a bit of water or ketchup to the skillet.

Slop it on a hamburger bun and you're good to go.

I loved 'em.

I remember when "Manwich" first came out. We all thought it was so silly because it was so easy to make good Sloppy Joe's. This is our recipe:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup ketchup
3 teaspoons brown sugar
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef, onion and green pepper in a medium sized skillet. Drain off any liquids and then stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar and mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on hamburger buns.

(I only tried Manwich once and I didn't really care for the taste. I also remember that it made the filling too sloppy. You didn't really need to put in the whole can.)

Leberkas recipes? Well, "pizza" Leberkas is really tasty...

Chop everything you like on a pizza (salami, cheese, onions, mushrooms, paprika, tomatoes etc.) into small pieces and mix it under the Leberkas dough... Bake it!
It's very easy to make but is really tasty!

Mamie's recipe sounds really good.

eta: I'm sure I'll be able to go back to sleep. Ivan is studying for his real estate license test. I'm here, and typing up some pages I wrote yesterday.

I don't get Manwich flavors but man, I love Sloppy Joe's. My mom would often make them homemade or with other things besides Manwich mix (but that too): chili mix, tomato sauce, etc.
It doesn't really matter. There's just something about that sloppy beef mixture on a bun that is fantastic.

Speaking of sloppy meals, anyone know about the Frito Pie?

Who DOESN'T know about Frito Pie?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!? That was the staple of my childhood after-school snacking.
