Hello Everybody. With the recent nasty weather conditions, including yesterday's 3 inch's of snow, I thought it would be nice to talk about something that occurs when the weather is much nicer. If you have not been to a Pelicans game, I will tell you it is well worth the money. The Pelicans have a wonderful stadium, and put on quite a show.
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
The Pelicans play at BB&T Coastal Field. The stadium is located on 21rst. ave. North in Myrtle Beach, on the South side of Broadway at the Beach. I used to say that it was the best $7.50 you could spend in M.B. I must revise that. It is now the best $9.00 you can spend in M.B. $9.00 will get you in where I like to sit, Grandstand Reserved. Field Box seats are $11.00, Reserved Box are $9.00, just like the Grandstand seats. You can sit in the Budweiser Thirst Inning Deck or on the grass in left field for $7.00.
The Pelicans are the Atlanta Braves Class A "Advanced" affiliate. They play in the Carolina League, and have won the Championship numerous times. I have seen many players at M.B. that have made it to the majors. Brian McCann, Rafael Furcal, Adam LaRouche, and Jason Marquis to name a few.
2010 Myrtle Beach Pelicans Fan Fest.
The Fan Fest is an annual event, held prior to the season to introduce fans to players, and offer a day of fun for the fans. Fan Fest will be held on March, 6th. from 2 p.m. to 5p.m. It will include: National Anthem tryouts, an afternoon-long game of "catch", ballpark tours, and other various exciting activities. The gates will open at 2 p.m. $1.00 draft beers and hot dogs will be available, as well as free popcorn and soda. Everyone is encouraged to bring their gloves and baseballs to play catch. Pelicans staff members will be conducting stadium tours throughout the afternoon. At 3.00 p.m. people will be given the opportunity to audition for a panel of M.B. celebrities. You can show off your singing skills The try outs will provide you an opportunity to sing the National Anthem at a future Pelicans game. The try outs will run until 5 p.m. The Pelicans Pro Shop will be open throughout the day. You can stop by and see the new merchandise for 2010. There will be plenty of activities for the kids/grand kids. So bring the little ones if you would like.
2010 Pelicans Season.
The Pelicans season kicks off on April, 8th, at 7:05 p.m. The Pelicans will be playing the Wilmington Blue Rocks. You can access more information by going to their website www.myrtlebeachpelicans.com You will be able to get ticket information on the website.
Sugar's good time tips.
Here are a few tips to assist you in having a fantastic time. Park across the street at Broadway at the Beach. This will save you from spending an hour trying to get out of the stadium parking lot.
Leave early, go to Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery. Liberty has great appetizers and brews it's own beer, in-house. Liberty is located on the same side of Broadway at the Beach as the ballpark. Look for the big Statue of Liberty. Big Tip, if your with your wife, don't leave too early or you'll find yourself down at Coastal Grand Mall, voice of experience.
Well anyway, that's all for today. I hope to see you at the ballpark. God Bless, Peace, Love, and all the Above, Sugar.

SUPER BOWL - SUGAR RECIPES
Hey Y'all, were back. Lori from www.Lorisgolfshoppe.com (Sugars better half) and I have returned from Florida (The PGA Show.) I'm going to cover The Super Bowl and throw some low effort, high tasting recipes at you.
The Super Bowl.
Indianapolis and New Orleans.
The Line: Indianapolis (-5) over New Orleans. (56 1/2)
This should be a great game! Peyton Manning is a genius, and the Saints can hang some points on the board. My gut (large) says Manning and crew take it, but you've got to love the Saints story. What a boost to New Orleans, if the Saints can bring home the trophy. I'm pulling for The Saints to win, but I'm really just hoping for a great game. Most of "The All Knowing" are picking the Colts.
Prediction: Brees and Manning light it up. The official scorer gets tired. The Saints kick one more field goal than the Colts. Saints win 41-38
Here are a few simple Super Bowl food ideas for you.
The Philly Cocktail Shrimp Block.
Your going to need a block of Philly Cream Cheese, a bottle of Cocktail Sauce and a can of Baby Shrimp.
Put the block of cheese on a dinner plate. In a bowl, mix the cocktail sauce with the baby shrimp. Pour the sauce over the block of cheese, grab a box of your favorite crackers and a knife, and off you go. I told you it was easy.
Sugar's Ultimate Nacho's.
What your going to need: 1 or 2 big bags of Tostito's Organic Blue Corn Chips. 1 Pound of 93 % lean hamburg, your favorite salsa, a big bag of shredded cheese.
In a skillet, brown the hamburg. When the hamburg is done, put a layer of chips on a plate. Sprinkle some of the hamburg over the chips. With a spoon, add a layer of salsa (I like thick and chunky,) top it off with shredded cheese, and microwave for about a minute, or until the cheese melts. After the cheese melts, I like to add jalapeno slices, guacamole and sour cream. It's best to keep these "on the side" as to not offend any wimps that might be in attendance. This amount of ingredients will make 2 large dinner plates of nachos. If you need more, just get more hamburger, salsa and cheese. You'll thank me for this one, and it's ultra simple.
Lip Smacking Crock Pot BBQ Boneless Spare Ribs.
This is so simple and yet so awesome. My motto in life, "Work Smarter, Not Harder" inspired me to create this recipe. You should buy about 1 pound of ribs per person, as there will be some shrinking during cooking.
What you need: A large crock pot or 2 small ones. 1 pound of ribs per person. 2 big bottles of BBQ sauce. I prefer Sweet Baby Ray's, Sweet Vadalia Onion Sauce. Pour a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of the crock pot. I use a ladle to spread it into the edges. Put a layer of tightly packed ribs on top of the sauce. Put another thin layer of sauce on top of the ribs. Add another layer of ribs. Then another layer of sauce. Here's how I finish it off. Fill the rest of the crock pot with uncooked sweet potato's (cubed,) red potatoes, or whole potato's. Shake Caribbean Jerk over the potato's. Put the top on, cook on high for 1 hour, then reduce to low. Now it's time to go play 18 holes of golf, or just let them cook for about 6 hours. Check the ribs periodically, and turn down to warm if necessary. Do not stir during cooking. Just push the potato's down into the liquid to assure a nice, soft texture.
This should give you and your guests some good options to enjoy during the Super Bowl. Please feel free to respond, to let me know how it worked out. Hoping all is well with you and yours. Good luck, God Bless, Sugar. Who Dat, Who Dat, Who Dat, GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!
