Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
Well the time has almost come. A new show is premiering on the Food Network on April 23 at 10 EST/9 CST (PM). My brother will not be on the show that day but will hopefully be on the following Monday or soon after. I am setting my TIVO so I don't miss him.
The show is hosted by Guy Fieri, he won on some other Food Network Reality Show.
WooHoo!
From the Kennebec Journal, Wednesday, April 11, 2007
"Harrison will cook with the show host and prepare three signature dishes: black tea-steamed salmon, mojito glazed duck breast and Greek beef roulade.
Harrison described the last dish: "It's flattened flank stuffed with spinach, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and feta cheese," he said. "These are things that I personally liked and have served well."

Gun Salute Question posed by Uncle Larry
Grandpa Lineberry passed away this past week and received a military funeral. After the services, Jerry's Uncle Larry posed the question, "What is the difference between a 21 gun salute and the funeral salute?". Nobody knew the answer (including a not to be named Naval Officer:-), so I decided to look it up and post the answer:
21 Gun SaluteToday the national salute of 21 guns is fired in honor of a national flag, the sovereign or chief of state of a foreign nation, a member of a reigning royal family, and the President, ex-President and President-elect of the United States. It is also fired at noon of the day of the funeral of a President, ex-President, or President-elect.
3 Volley Salute
The 3-volley salute is a salute performed at military and police funerals as part of the drill and ceremony of the Honor Guard.
A rifle party, usually consisting of an odd number of firers, usually from 3 to 7 firearms. Usually the firearms are rifles for military, but at some police funerals, shotguns are used. The firing party is positioned such that, when they shoulder their arms for firing, the muzzles are pointed over the casket of the deceased who is being honored. If the service is being performed inside a church or chapel, or funeral home, the firing party fires from outside the building, typically positioned near the front entrance.
On the command of the NCO-in-charge, the firing party fires their weapons in unison, for a total of three volleys. Because unbulleted blanks (which will not cycle the action of a semi-automatic rifle) are used, in the United States, M1 or M14 rifles are preferred over the current issue M16 rifle, because the charging handles of the M1/M14 are more easily operated in a dignified, ceremonial manner than on the M16.
The three-volley salute is not to be confused with the 21-gun salute (or even lesser gun salutes, such as 19-gun or 17-gun, etc) which use cannon.

You go Baby Bro!!
Well, the first show that my brother did filming for was a pilot that wasn't picked up, but...
Yeah!! Now he is filming a segment for the Food Network. He starts filming on April 10 (my b-day) and wraps shooting on April 13 (his b-day). Happy Birthday to us! I couldn't ask for a better present than seeing my baby brother on the Food Network. He is the Chef at a historic diner on the Kennebec River in Gardiner, Maine. www.a1diner.com Stop in for a bite! He's also mentioned in their new book that has just been published and he is planning his own catering business.
I'll keep you posted on when his segment will air. I think it is going to be on a show that has Diner in the title, but I don't have any specifics yet.
