Tim Quote #108
Quote from Tim in Flying Sauces
Tim: Well, before we say goodbye. We get tons of cards and letters. And I'd like to share a real special one with you. Thank you, Al. Lisa?
Lisa: Here you go, Tim. Special delivery. This one's from from Rock Lannigan of Bay City.
Tim: OK, thank you, Lisa. Rock writes, "Dear Tim. I'm the foreman for K&B Construction Company in Bay City. My crew and I watch you all the time. We love your clothes, especially the Italian look with the triple-pleated slacks." Thanks, fellas. He goes on to say: "Anyway, my crew and I put in a damn hard American day's work. And we get tired of eating a cold lunch out of a metal pail." And who wouldn't? "So we did something about it. We started cooking hot gourmet meals right on the job site using the tools of the trade. Me and the boys call this 'cooking a meal with power and steel'." [grunts] This was an inspiring letter. A very inspiring letter. So inspiring. I invited these guys from K&B Construction down here to Tool Time to demonstrate cooking a gourmet meal on the job site. So don't miss us next time when we will do cooking with what?
Audience: More power!
Tim: You're right. See you next time. [grunts]

Quote from Rock
Rock: And then I... Tim, I kind of hate to give this little secret away.
Tim: Come on, Rock, let it go. It's a Tool Time crowd. [grunts] [audience grunt]
Rock: All right, all right. Pete. I sprinkle on a little oregano for flavoring. And then I fire it up.
Tim: What do you use to heat that with?
Rock: Well, that's one of the secrets of cooking on the job site. I go straight for my blowtorch.
Tim: And that's no ordinary blowtorch. That's a Binford 3000 Turbo Ignition Switch torch.
Rock: Yeah, you betcha, Tim. See, the trick... you got to toast it nice and evenly on both sides so that you seal in that delicious Wisconsin flavor. Try that, Timmy.
Tim: [takes a bite] It's hot. [groans]
Rock: Might want to let that cheese cool down a little bit there.
Quote from Rock
Tim: Rock, what have you got for us today?
Rock: Well, Tim, I'm a riveter. I work up on the high steel. And I'll tell you, it makes it darn hard to get a hot lunch up there. But I've come up with an easy way to make a delicious grilled-cheese sandwich.
Tim: You hear my stomach growling?
Rock: Oh, you're gonna love this one, Tim. The fellas call it "cheddar ȧ la Rock".
Tim: All right.
Rock: I use only sharp Wisconsin cheese. Because, after all, in Wisconsin, cheese is cheese.
Tim: American cheese from American cows. [moos] Look out!
Rock: I spread on a generous dollop of oleo with my trowel. Then I take the cheese and I stick it between the bread.
Tim: Good place for it.
Quote from Jill
Tim: "Touch Me in the Morning". Diana Ross.
Jill: I'll touch you in the afternoon if you think of the name of the song.
Tim: I remember the song that we heard in the back of my Corvair steaming the windows.
Jill: So do I. "The Minute Waltz."
