I'm here I'm here....

I brought some pretzels and more Rose

Here! And definitely into relaxing in the hot-tub!!

Is it pizza time again? Can't think of what else to make for dinner....

Cesar salad on the side.....

Any takers?

I'm here, and I'm definitely in the hot tub. In a tasteful one piece, of course.

I love this thread. I love that it hasn't died for several years. It's always a fun touchstone to come back to.

I like the idea of the bipolar lounge as a fantasy place that exists only on the Internet that we have been creating post by post. It's a beautiful concept.

Yeah, it is great isn't it? Let's face it, we bipolars are Brilliant!

So Andrea...where should we put the tennis court?

I agree there should be a tennis court, and I might be down to play if I can convince myself to get out of this hot tub and put on a tennis skirt. Hot tubs are awesome though!

There should probably be a buffet table with some snacks, also. I'm seeing a cheese board, stuffed mushrooms, mixed olives, mixed nuts and bacon-wrapped somethingorothers (doesn't really matter what, anything wraps in bacon is good).

Rumakis!! Bacon wrapped water chestnuts soaked in soy souce and broiled. Oh hell, my mouth is watering!!

My enthusiasm for this idea is telling me that it's time to have dinner.

Yes, wrap everything in bacon. I wrapped a pork loin in bacon once and it was amazing. i love wrapping figs, asparagus, and mushrooms with bacon.

Once at a New Years Eve party I had bacon wrapped crackers and you know what, they were delicious because everything wrapped in bacon is good.

I'm not a bacon fan, but I'm a HUGE cheese fan! Bring on the cheese boards, I'll bring the wine, fruit & chutney!

I'm bringing in the biggest pot of hot fresh brewed French Roast and some bagels and cream cheese. It's morning, y'all!

Rise and shine, get out of that hot tub, and drink some coffee. Tennis is optional.

Wow, I missed a nice sounding spread of snacks. I love and applaud the use of bacon in anything. Its almost dinner here so In honor of the bacon wrapped pork loin( thanks Andrea) I think I will first stuff the pork loin with roasted red pepper and fennel and spinach and wrap the whole thing in bacon, sear it and roast it in the oven. Served with pommes anna and sauted carrots and parsnips with a sauce made from the pan drippings. For the vegetarians we can sub the pork with potato gnocchi and roasted vegetables. So, who's hungry? Oh and who wants to be in charge of drinks and dessert?

Your bacon-wrapped pork loin sounds amazing. Yes, please. I hope you're really having that for dinner. Right on.

I had microwave asparagus risotto for dinner around midnight last night and it was tasty as usual.

And I'm brewing up a lot more coffee because I love coffee.

OMG Pagan, you make Chef Ramsey sound like a slub!
Can I come over for dinner? I'm sure I can get a flight out of Chicago in no time!!
I haven't had yummy food like that in ages! Mostly because I've lost interest in cooking. If only I had a personal chef! That is the first thing I'm getting when I come into big bucks!

I'm along with dobiedots.. I'm coming over for dinner too.. I've been eating out way too much ..
I would being a nice home made apple pie and lasagna from scratch.. Those are both my specialty

Oh heck whales...you're bringing stuff? Now he's going to expect me to bring something too. Well....I'm not. Maybe I'll just bring candles for the dinner table. Do you think that's enough? I'm really, really, really not into cooking anymore. And flowers, I'll bring flowers.
I could go for some beer too. Ok, candles, flowers and beer it is!
