The Coffee Place's Joke Stack
Newport
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We made it to Newport, Rhode Island, where we took a bus tour past many lovely old homes right on the ocean that were as big as some of the shopping malls back home. The Vanderbilts had a home here and so did the Whitneys. Newport is also well known as being the home of The Cowsills, who were the inspiration for that wonderful television program "The Partridge Family." Sheryl Ann said, how nice it was to see Shirley Jones on the television every week and David Cassidy, such a sweet boy before he posed naked in that magazine and had all those problems with drugs. Then she got up in front of the bus and started singing "I think I love you, but what am I so afraid of," which was a Partridge Family song and everybody clapped and she curtsied. We didn't see The Cowsills, but the driver pointed to a house and said that's where Mrs. Cowsill lived until her tragic death a few years back and Sheryl Ann said it was probably from drugs, which is what gets most of those rock and roll stars and I had to agree. Then we stopped and had lunch at a restaurant that had dishes named for some of the local celebrities including The Cowsills.
Cowsills Cowburger
1 pound ground round
4 sesame hamburger buns
Aunt Henny's Sweet Pickle Relish
Chip Style French Fries
Catsup
Mustard
Mayonaise
Iceberg Lettuce
Dehydrated Onions
Velveeta or American Cheese
Grill the ground round. Lightly toast the buns. Cook the french fries until almost done. Put lots of Aunt Henney's Sweet Pickle Relish on the buns along with lots of catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Top with Velveeta and dehydrated onions and tate tots, and put back under the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese and puff up the onions.
