Did it taste as good as it smells?

Ya'll are making me feel very inadequate. Last night was quesadillas and oranges. If my ground beef defrosts in time, I'm going all out and making crock pot chili today. You don't need to let your ground beef thaw. Just put it in the crock pot with the other stuff. It will actually come out more te...

Well, I always thought I was behind times and this proves it!

Rockabilly

And when did "hurtful" come about?

Rockabilly

6 hours at 250 degrees, but I had it hot on top of the stove before it went into the oven.

This is what's for dinner. I also posted it in the Recipe Forum. I don't use a slow cooker for this and I also make mashed potatoes. So good on a rainy cool day.

My husband went to college with a guy named Manley Midgett and he was a big guy.

I'd appreciate hearing feedback about your oldsters and the mental/physical changes they've shown and any advice you can impart. Just feeling nervous! :shock: Don't be nervous, but realize your relationship will change and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Billy was in my life from age 11 to age 33...

Rockabilly

I do hope you're feeling better. I know the grief well and understand how you feel. I wish we had little angel wings here to wrap around you.

Wait Rockabilly, someone was named Partypooper???

Yes, it was hard to keep a straight face.

Rockabilly

Oh, God, so I'm not the only one!

When I worked at a bank in California we had a couple of funny names I have never forgotten. One was "Partypooper" and the other one "Bullerdick". I swear I would change my name if I had those names.

It's homemade pizza tonight made with the 00 flour we talked about before. I find making my own pizza so much easier than ordering a pizza. I don't like the doughy salty over spiced pizza one finds around here.

Tomorrow starts Thanksgiving baking and the first thing I'm making is a pumpkin roll.

Rockabilly

Oh, don't get me started! Just about every single article on the web is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. I admit I'm an old fart, but why isn't this taught in school anymore?

I cringe when I hear "I'ma".

My husband and I don't do Christmas either. When we want something we get it. It doesn't matter when, but I do remember years and years ago when I did Christmas shop and I spent hours and hours trying to find the perfect gift for my sister. She took it back to the store and got credit for it to get ...

What is interesting to me is that the elephant sanctuary is about 30 miles from where I live. I have never been because they don't allow visitors. It does make a unique Christmas gift. http://www.elephants.com

Rockabilly

I also was having trouble deciding what to give certain people. I really hate that Christmas has turned into a commercial endeavor for stores. I thought and I thought and I finally decided. I "adopted" elephants at The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee. My adoption fees took care ...

Well, yesterday was a rainy wind blowing kind of day. The farrier came early for Leo and when he was finished I cleaned Leo's stall and he reposed the rest of the day in comfort, but for us I was thinking what would be good today? I made beef vegetable soup, cheddar biscuits, salad and for dessert h...

What I find these days is that people want to talk at you not to you.

The lack of good customer service is one of my major pet peeves. I really don't understand how some businesses stay in business. They don't know their elbow from a bag of bones! It's infuriating and AT&T are among the absolute worst. I hate to wait through robot voice after robot voice to see wh...

Rockabilly

I have a most excellent farrier for Leo too. I really like him. Is on time every single time and does such a good job with Leo. The farrier I had for Billy was a miracle worker although I did not like him at all, but for Billy's sake I kept my mouth shut.

Rockabilly

Well, y'all might be surprised, but I am not cooking at all tonight. Doctor appointment in Nashville and a trip to Costco did us in!

Rockabilly

I think bringing him in the house is the only thing to do!

Billy... :( Hey, there's go to be more to the Billy story than that. Spill. Yes! Some of us have heard stories of Billy, but have never seen photos. If you're willing, can we see photos, and hear more of the story?[/quote Okay, so I'll continue the story. Billy was a Kiwi and he was trained by Jack...

Evidently it's just one of those southern things.

Ya'll made me make Pimento Cheese! And I'm going to make grilled cheese sandwiches with it.

Rockabilly

For us tonight Cider Braised Pork chops, steamed green beans and Kale salad. No dessert because I mowed today.

I remember the first time I saw Billy in 1991. A friend of mine and I was looking for Jim Graham's Meadow Run Farm. We wanted to take lessons with someone there. In the Chronicle of the Horse there was a half page ad of a horse for sale. His name was Rockabilly. There was a photo of him jumping some...

Oh, that does sound divine!

For good melting, slice cheese fairly thin or grate the cheese.

But don't buy the pre-shredded cheese. It doesn't melt well because "something" keeps it from sticking together and also it is not the best quality.

So many experiences and life lessons for me. I'm very glad my 20 year old self didn't know what I know today, but one thing I would tell myself if I could is that you're not in control. At age 20 you may think so, but you aren't. I would say let go of trying to control everything around you and thin...

Why not just make it a sticky or whatever so it will always be the first thread in the OL? Never moves and people know where it will be. That's what I was thinking of just to make it a sticky in the OL. "What's for Dinner?" is such a popular topic that even if we all don't cook we still l...

It sounds like everyone is a good cook! I love reading your posts and I would love to know what influences you most when it comes to food. It is a blustery rainy day here where everyone appreciates being cozy. For us it is meatloaf, kennebec mashed potatoes, pinto beans that have been simmering all ...

I am interested in this part of it. How have you managed that? I feel like I have a long way to go to get to that point.

Rockabilly

Well, it was a cold rainy day here so that called for some comfort food which we had along with a homemade cherry pie for dessert.

So very good to see you here, bascar. "What's for dinner?" should be its own topic. I'll ask Chancellor.

The only way for me to get the 00 flour around here is to order it online. I ordered it from Amazon.

I am a pizza snob. I make my own crust and sauce. I use 00 flour for the crust. I make it one day and put it in the refrigerator overnight. I bring it out the next day and let it sit on the counter a couple of hours. I put it on a pizza stone to bake. I have a picture of it, but have no idea how to ...

And yes Wicky, the fighting. I've seen that too. It does make leaving/transition easier on some level. :idea: A huge lightbulb just went off for me.

Really, that is such disrespect for you and your family. I would figure a way to fix them if I cared enough or just let the whole thing go. You can be nice and ask and ask and ask, but apparently that does not get anyone's attention. Chantal, your heart is so sweet and loving so I understand how har...

My husband and I are raising 16 baby ducks. He built a beautiful condo for them with screens and doors that go up and down. We got them just as they hatched from their eggs because we didn't want them on the pond where they would disappear. They are the cutest things ever!
