I am currently in New Mexico, here to visit my in laws (Gravy's family). I have not seen them since the FUNeral. I arrived yesterday afternoon and am already in food heaven. My sister in-law, Liz made her chile Colorado last night. Holy guacamole (she made that too) was it good. I'm in the land...

Poutine at Main and Mill (Festus, Mo) worth the calories, not the best ever, but pretty good. Plus, beer flight, yum.

Ohmygeebus, glad you made it through that. (I can't stop laughing, though.) There are some nice parks in the Shiloh area for a picnic lunch, if the weather is decent. (Steady lived in St. Clair, Co. for many years before moving back to this [West] side of the river. ) Again, best of outcomes to you.

I don't know how much time you will have in between (if your appt. is at the CAM), or if you will want to mess with leaving your parking spot...but the Science Center is about a mile away, the Art Museum, about three, and there are many good restaurants in the area. I am saddened to read of your...

Mebbee Mebbee not

Living in fly-over country with small family farms and neighborhood butchers still in existence has benefits, good, worth the price bacon is one of them! (Bacon grease crock on my counter, too.)

Steady puts a bit of lemon zest in mashed potatoes, it is delicious. We tried mandarin zest too, which also was interesting.

Nice crumb!

Bread pudding is the yum. I am so going to try it with croissants, now! I love a good oatmeal cookie. I'm not a huge fan of them if they have chocolate chips in them. I am a fan of plumped raisins or cranberries though. Lucky you on the wife's skill!

Sad ...down to the last six of the Christmas cookies. Started with twelve dozen. I blame Steady.

What would you determine is the top two or three things you can cook or bake, where you can just throw it together? Something you've made so many times, no written recipe, you just make it and it turns out defuckinglicious every time. Me: gravy. 😁

Yes, this.

New Year greetings! I just wanted to drop in to say, thank you again. I know that I would not have made it through my first year of widowhood as well as I did, without you. It's been eight years. I will never forget you. ❣️ (Oh, Go, CHIEFS!)

I have a hand grinder (old school), the attachment for my KitchenAid (I actually like it for small batch sausage making, think five to ten pounds), but the big lem, is much better for larger scale tasks, not that I have used it in the past 7 years, as I gave it to my nephew for processing his...

Tillamook Oregon Strawberry Ice Cream is the devil. Is it wrong to eat the entire carton in one sitting?

❤️

I'm older than dirt, does this qualify for me to post in here?

We had it as a side along with garlic/sour cream mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and surf turf combo of blackened salmon and a perfectly med rare steak. The next day, I ate them mixed into the potatoes. The onions had a depth of flavor savory and sweet goodness

Easy-Glazed Pearl Onions INGREDIENTS 16 oz Frozen pearl onions 2 tb Vegetable oil 3 tb Sugar 1 1/2 c Beef stock 4 tb Red wine vinegar Salt Black Pepper PREPARATION RINSE THE ONIONS IN A strainer, just to separate them and remove extra ice. Blot them on paper towels. In a large, heavy...

Caramelized pearl onions (recipe from Big Oven) are a new favorite. Highly recommended.

Steady is moving in with me. Into the house that Gravy and I thought would be our forever home. I have so much crap in it that needs relocation or tossed, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. The accumulation of a life with Gravy... I have told Steady that and he has been supportive and reassuring...

So I will be looking for new clubs. I am in my third season of playing this highly addictive game and the beginner clubs Steady got me, which I still treasure, are starting to have some issues. I drive fairly well, my 6 iron is my friend, and am working hard on my short game - love to get the...

I now need this in my life. Thanks.

This thread still does not disappoint.

I lurk every once in a while. "Anniversaries" of sorts remind me to visit. Also, I need a recipe to make for dinner tonight. Cooking thread never disappoints.

Yeah, well, you missed squinshy elbows.

Goodgolly, I have a lot of catching up to do. In my world, I am still Mrs. Gravy, still happily with Steady, still healthy, active and well. It has been 6 years since G enrolled in hospice and shared his death journey with you. As always...I am ever grateful for the lot of you who were with him...

I like the vodka pie crust recipe that has both butter and shortening ok...I may use lard instead of crisco if I have it in the pantry....but the crust itself is really forgiving. I never use a food processor even though some recipes call for its use. My pastry blender or just my fingers and a...

It is a good space for good information, bad advice, excellent support and a measure of derision. I love it here.

You could drive to Salina for a Cozy Inn fix. OK..it is a bit of a drive...but Cozy burgers!!!

Chiefs ♡♡♡♡

It is the deathiversary of Gravy today my fastfoodfriends. For me this means pizza. Every Jan 12 is Pizza Day. <3

Of course.

I do. Steady knows and so does my work bestie. Both are very level-headed, insightful and can be direct with me (they can call me on my b.s.) but loving and supportive. A few days out and I am sifting through this. Coming here always helps. ♡

What, about the situation, or that this is my safe place? ♡

So this has nothing to do with any recent posts...but you guys and a very few (3) people are the ones I told about my boss making a pass at me (Sept. 2016). I stayed at my job, he at his, we got back to a good place. It took a while, but I think the way I handled myself, did my job, did not use...

I tease, I tease... Schnuck's. It is not their brand, just one of many good frozen pizza brands they carry. 6 bucks is amazing. The Pep's are really, really good. Baked properly, we have been able to get the crust crispy and the cheese golden. Seriously good and so inexpensive.
