As a single bloke I’m still anticipating my first culinary success. Mind you I did once manage to cook a steak which was not bad but I’ve never been able to repeat it :o

Don’t ya just hate that? :o
 
annie–thank you! it sounds so good! 🙂

It reminds me a bit of a frettata (sp?) I love those…like a cross between a quiche and an omelette…that you bake in the oven…I need a cast iron skillet though, which is on my list!
 
I read yesterday an article about Paula Deen the southern hospitality cookbook writer…whose favorite dish is baconcheeseburgers between two donuts and it tastes amazing. I don’t know if my cholesterol can take the risk but that sounds interesting doesn’t it?

I still can’t find the gagging smiley, so I guess this will have to do:eek: …that really sounds awful!!
 
Last week I made a roasted chicken stuffed with fresh rosemary, garlic, onion and lemon. I roasted some sliced new potatoes in the same pan and made a sage-gravy out of the drippings. It was quite chompity if I do say so myself.🙂

“Chompity”–now that is a perfect word to describe something delicious. Thank you for adding that to my vocabulary!

And I am going to try that chicken recipe. How do you make sage gravy? Just add sage to the gravy? Fresh or rubbed? We love sage around here, and I grow it in the summer.

A kindred spirit! Peanut butter goes with EVERYTHING!

Peanut butter & Miracle Whip is yummy, too!

:eek: My mom used to eat sandwiches with the following ingredients:

Whole wheat bread
Lettuce
crunchy peanut butter (had to be crunchy)
Miracle Whip

I remember trying a bite once. It didn’t make me gag, but it was not something i’d try again! 😉 She loved them, though. You’re the only other person i’ve heard mention miracle whip and peanut butter together!
 
My brother will not eat mashed potatoes unless he puts applesauce on them. No gravy, no butter, just applesauce. He is 56 years old and has been doing this since he was a little boy:shrug:
 
I started out to make navy bean soup, but I think I have ended up with white chili. I made the stock from the Christmas hambone a while back, with bay leaf, dried red chilis, parsley, celery etc… I finally did the soup, great northern beans, carrot, celerly, parsley plus veggies diced: green pepper, leeks, onions, one tomato, calabeza squash, turnip. I added leftover turkey and pork loin rather than sausage, which I would normally do. I did not add any more seasonings. It is on the spicy side, but warming, not toxic. Tastes great and I have 3 pints to freeze as well.

my new diet is egg, lean meat or soy sausage plus citrus fruit for breakfast, soup and salad for lunch, meat or fish plus two veggies and one high-carb choice (yam, bean, fruit) for supper. So I need a “library” of single serving soups in the freezer.
