SEASONED GREETINGS FROM THE BOSS OF SAUCE
This is my little holiday wish for all
you folks out in "E-ville"--
I hope happiness just starts to followin' you
around.
Peace, brothers and sisters.
THE MOON HUT FAMILY RESTAURANT
"WHERE THE MOON PEOPLE DINE"
7802
Astronaut Blvd., Cape Canaveral, Fl 32920 (407-868-2638)
Cape Canaveral has always been a spaced out place. I played in Brevard
County
in the 60s. Back when Indiatlantic was a dark corner harboring
surfers and
bikers from California (the best surf on the East Coast is in
Brevard County).
Back when Murf the Surf (world-famous diamond thief)
would drop in at the
Vanguard for the Sunday jam. We'd play an hour on/an
hour off. I remember, we
once did five gigs in three days ending up at
the Vanguard. That hour on/hour
off will kill ya'. I was underage,
dodging the beverage agent. They said,
"When the suits come in, you duck
out the back". The Vanguard had a notorious
poker game in the dressing
room, where bandleaders would win back the earnings
of their sidemen.
That hour on/hour off will kill ya.
Nowadays, as I float through Cape Canaveral at 3:30 in the morning, I
think of
the legendary Moon Hut. (These little stories always end up at
the supper table,
don't they?) It's hard to find a real supper at 3:30 in
the morning, but you
can at the Moon Hut. I love this place. Stickers of
hundreds of NASA flights
share the space with traditional Americana,
making apparent the history of this
24-hr eatery. Jet-jockey space trash
and astronaut memorabilia is everywhere.
The image of a little shack on
the Moon hosting space cowboys, rednecks,
truckers, weirdoes, and mostly
normal people, gives a surreal, almost a
down-home "Star Wars" quality to
the early morning ambience. Spaced out.
Have you tried our SMOKED MULLET DIP?
It's one of the many free recipes
on our
"RECIPES" Enhanced CD. You can order one now at
SAUCEBOSS.COM
It's great for parties and if you don't
have
smoked mullet, any other smoked fish will work.
2 cups flaked smoked mullet (be sure to get all the bones out)
8 ounces softened
cream cheese
1 medium onion, chopped finely
J
uice from one lemon
1 Tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce
3 Tablespoons LIQUID SUMMER HOT SAUCE
Mix ingredients together and form a ball. Sprinkle with paprika or chives
and
garnish with parsley. Chill and serve with crackers.
See ya'll in Y2K. I hope yer all stocked up on Liquid Summer.
Remember, it's
great on squirrel.
