Winter cleaning Thursday #338!

It was funny. Ma would never write e recipe down unless asked and asked again, but she was the one with precise ingredients.

There are some recipes which are tough for me to give to people, (Like fish chowder, beef stew, etc), because the ingredients vary from batch to batch. If I give someone a recipe, it's most likely that's what I put in the last time I made it, as opposed to a hard and fast formula. (One comment to the US Army.......Peas DO NOT go in beef stew!) Those are pretty much Pa recipes.

Macaroni and cheese, rolls, coffee ring, and others are recipes I can give someone in 5 minutes. Those are Ma recipes...........sometimes never written down, but ingredients are in measured quantities.

Wait, does this go into thursdays or the boiled egg thread?

Beef stew and chili casserole? Bring it on! Two things that even I can make for myself...and am thinking about doing...after I have a healthy two or three servings of each here

The cats are asleep on my monster pile of laundry...don't wake them unless you want pawprints all over the bar...

(sneaks up behind sleeping kitties.......BOO!)

I don't follow a recipe for most everything I cook. It's going to be hard to pass anything down, since my way of cooking is just to "dump" some of this and a little of that.

Except for baking of course, since those ingredients have to be pretty precise, unless of course you don't care if the cake rises or not...

Is that how flatbread came about???

Oh Momo, that cornbread casserole recipe sounds wonderful. Knowing me though, I'll screw it up somehow. Among my many shortcomings, cooking is at the top of the list.

That being said and since you made it, pass it on over. I skipped lunch today - too busy at w-u-r-k.

Richard, I'm parched!!! Can you please pass me an ice cold beer??? Has anyone seen the little orange kitten lately??

Lok was last sighted heading for the L+F......

Maybe that's why richard is going down there to clean?

**RICHARD** · 10-16-2009, 11:23 PM

Oh.

More stuff to clean.

I am bushed, it's hot and muggy.

Let me pour some drinks and I will be back later on to do some more?

I have to get ready to be schooled tomorrow!

DONE!

Yeah Richard, you'd better hit the bricks!!!!!

Thanks for the drink.

Ah, Friday night and what better place to be than at the cyberbar. Good food, good drink, good company ...it doesn't get any better than this.

All that rest for nothing.....today's class was cancelled!

I am kinda glad. it's supposed to be really hot today. I love the fall, but hate the dry, hot windy weather....

Let me make you all some coffee and I'll be back later.....

DONE!

Richard, sorry I didn't get back to you on the Ian Anderson/ Tull question; as my kitty posted elsewhere, we were away for the weekend working a wine festival in Salisbury. It was NOT a good weather weekend, but we still had a good time.

Yes, most of the show of course was Tull - we see Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson every time we can; have for about 25 or 30 years. The show was excellent.
