 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Rest in peace, lil guy. You touched many people deeply and will not soon be forgotten.

I knew this was coming, Mizzou!!! ROFLMAO!!!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

OKwriter, I didn't realize you were the "poster" before I sent the last E-mail to you! I just read the end of the dead thread, now I get it, lol.

OK you all had me worried, thinking someone died due to the stress. My emotions are all over the place now, lol.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Rest in peace and may there be no resurrection.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

LOL !!

But it is so exciting when threads go off-topic in this forum. What is it about this forum (and the home buying/selling forum, too) that compels folks to stray off-topic?

For those still interested, a new on-topic thread was started when the other one went off-topic, and it hasn't rolled off the bottom yet. It's on page 3, and it only has 5 posts to it so far - plenty more room !!!

Here is a link that might be useful: On-topic thread continuation


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Let us all raise a glass to our dearly daparted thread who mercifully died at the hands of Rob_OH. May he be duly toasted and shortly mourned. Praise the lord and pass the gravy.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

tnlamar - What kind of gravy? White (which is my favorite), brown or red eye?


 o gravy

If you're going to be toasting a fine lad like the dear departed then it must be white gravy with biscuits. For those of you outside the South: a cookie is not a biscuit.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

...nor are biscuits those thin little round things that come in a can, regardless of what the doughboy says...


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Sounds like another darn thread being started on the definition of biscuit.... Lord help us


 o biscuits

Only the Lord could help as it has been definitively proven that God himself created the biscuit.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I thought that was unleavened bread.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

picky picky picky


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Let us all raise a glass to our dearly daparted thread who mercifully died at the hands of Rob_OH.

I guess that makes me a murderer huh? Oh well it always a good day if you p!ss someone off. (that was a joke) :)

Rob


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

OK, so i'm fairly new (and a little slow today AND TODAY ONLY I SWEAR!) i read this ... and seriously for a few moments thought someone bloody did die. (up there where houses are built on time, with all upgrades at no extra cost and totally paid for by your mean neighbor!)

thank goodness :0
now i will raise a glass! RIP you little thread.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

What in tarnation (that's what you southerners say, isn't it?) is white gravy anyway? And Red Eye gravy--we don't make gravy out of any eyes up here in the north, and I can't even imagine what is roasted to make white gravy...
But I digress. The North joins in a moment of silence for the memory of a very colorful thread. It will be missed.
-sniff-


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Dad Burn It.
Gosh darn it.
Gee Whillikers.
All good thangs gotta come to an end...


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Red Eye Gravy sounds *frightening*!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Drop by any truck stop for the best darn red-eye gravy!
Make a note to self....any late night (red-eye) diner, doughnut shop, or cafe with a bunch of semi-trucks or cop cars stopped there is THE place for good grub!

Fondly to all,
A refined lady (who loves red-eye gravy!)


 o one more question

But what IS red eye gravy? Whose red eyes are in there? :)


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

FWIW, I was born and raised in the South and I have never eaten Red Eye Gravy. In fact, I have never seen Red Eye Gravy. BTW, real biscuits are made with buttermilk.

Red Eye Gravy from Recipe Source.

Red-eye gravy, to those unaccustomed to the nobler things in life, requires first a good, well-cured country ham. Smithfield and genuine Virginia hams are ideal for this.

Take a slice of uncooked ham with most or much of the fat left on. Fry the ham in its own fat until nicely browned on both sides. When it is cooked, transfer the ham to a warm platter and add boiling black coffee to the skillet, scraping to dissolve the particles that cling to the bottom and sides.

That is red-eye gravy, which you pour over the ham and serve.

The name "red-eye gravy" derives from the fact that a circle or oval of liquid fat with a slightly reddish cast will form on the surface of the gravy when it is reduced. This is the "eye" of the name.

From Craig Claiborne's "Southern Cooking"


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I'm a Yankee and never heard of "red-eye" gravy before I met one of my brother's GFs. My family was vacationing together on Cape Cod and she got up (hangover and all!) and made breakfast, including said gravy. It was delicious!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Thump, thump, thump... (that's my head pounding...) Thump, thump, thump... I've got a touch of the Irish flu today.

My eyes are red, but I'll be damned if someone is making gravy out of them!!!!

As for our dearly departed friend... Heck of a lad that one was.

Slan, dear friend.

Country_living....thump, thump....


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Country living - That thump thump thump is not Irish flu. I'ts your heart trying to pump blood throught those arteries clogged with stuff from the gravy, biscuits, ham, bacon and eggs. Mine does that a lot.

Regarding Red Eye Gravy - reminds me of a joke I heard years ago. The story teller said they were so poor that the kids ate supper after everyone else. After the adults finished eating the wife hung what was left of the ham above the kitchen table and the kids got one biscuit a piece and "sopped" the shadow.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

now thats poor


 o rural - and poor

Yeah - those people lived so far from any one else they had to have their own tom cat.

Are we far enough off track yet?


 o gravy

Not yet. Lets talk more about biscuits and gravy. Im hungry. White gravy is made from flour, buttermilk and bacon drippings. In my humble opinion it is one of our nations finest gravies and a fine testament to our strong feelings for the departed. There, now were back on topic.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I can always depend on this forum to give me a laugh when I desperately need it -- we had a house fire in our temporary rental Monday night (our umpteenth diaster in three years) -too busy picking up the pieces (by myself without DH's help)to read or post much - but Thanks for the saving grace. Luv you guys;)

TNLady


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

LOL, i thought someone really died, too, at first!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Sorry to hear about your fire TNLady. I hope noone was hurt and that you recover quickly.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I thought everyone knew that a "biscuit" = a hockey puck.

Even in the South. :-) Actually, especially in the South, because don't look now but the Tampa Bay Lighting is sitting in the National Hockey League's #1 spot.

And yes, the goal is the "basket", hence the constant attempts of players to put the biscuit in the basket.

(But not in MY basket, of course...)


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Yeh - but you ever try to eat a hockey puck?. Well, I suppose some hockey players have.

I've have had some biscuits that resembled hockey pucks, both in taste and texture.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Biscuits are only like hocky pucks when made by transplants.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

If the gravy is good enough, it can make almost anything edible.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Good point. I guess with ENOUGH gravy I could eat asparagus - possibly even liver.

OTOH - No I don't think you could make THAT much gravy.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I wouldnt eat liver if you floated it to me across a river of gravy....... mmm river of gravy.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

You Know - if someone happens upon this thread not knowing how it came to pass, I'm sure we would all look pretty stupid. But - I really don't care.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Even though I'm a Yankee (but not a damned yankee!) I know how to make biscuits, and not only do they have buttermilk, but should have either White Lily or Martha White 'soft wheat' flour. And I grew up on gravy of any color. With Depression era parents, gravy was served at about every meal. Ever have weiner gravy? Now that I'm "rich" -ROTFLOL - I can make white gravy with actual pieces of good sage-seasoned sausage to eat on those biscuits. But gotta save some biscuits for sorghum molasses.

Oh, they've started framing on our house today. Thought maybe I ought to inject a little "Building a Home" comment to make this thread legit. LOL (LOVE this forum!!!!)


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

In memory of our dear & tired friend, I raise a toast, burp.

"Sunset And Evening Star
And One Clear Call For Me.
And May There Be No Moaning At The Bar
When I Put Out To Sea."

cheers! clink


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Speaking of the south ~ you guys ever hear of Balled Peanuts? LOL

We had a nice southern girl in town for a few months and she kept trying to find Balled Peanuts. Finally made some of her own. Aha! BOILED peanuts, not BALLED peanuts! Nope, we had never heard of them (and I think it must be an acquired taste, by the way).


 o RE: a --- Obituary ---

And cheers to msetwin, burp, who started framing her house today! Cheers! clink

And cheers to Roy_OH who laid our tired lad to rest, burp, Cheers to Roy_OH! clink

I raise a toddy to Mizzou for calling for this celebration, hiccup. Cheers! clink

And one for TNLady, that dear girl. I'm as sorry as the devil to hear of your troubles. I'll have just another sip for you. Cheers! clink

And to Gravy! Clink


 o RE: b --- Obituary ---

And to balled, ahem boiled...burp, hiccup..peanuts...to peanuts! cheers, clink...


 o RE: c --- Obituary ---

and bisquits...clink


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

... and Red Eye Gravy - White lightning and Blue Ribbon Beer


 o RE: e--- Obituary ---

Nope, nope, no thanks, I think I need to lay down...


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

sep2897

Thats ROB_OH.....:0) LOL

Cheers everyone.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

i'm a brit so it's beans on toast ANYDAY for me.
oh for goodness sake!!! no offense people... but you know we are going insane, right:)
least we're going insane together!


 o RE: --- Beans

nokeysyet, Do you have a Bass beer with those beans?

My ancestors were Brits, and I adore Great Britain AND your food!!! Is that why another one of my favorite meals is beans and cornbread? And here I thought that was just my down home upbringin'.

yep, we're all a little crazy here, but maybe not as much as we may be when this house building is over. Glad we still have a sense of humor for now.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I guess boiled peanuts are an acqured taste... if you grew up outside the South. You should try to get used to them. They are might fine. Right, tnlamar?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Sorry yoall, ate boiled peanuts today, and crawfish, now thats some good eating, but will have country ham, biscuits and red eye gravey tomorrow, are you sure this isn't the cooking forum? By the way the Framers should get the house under roof tomorrow, DH solved the too small hole for the too big window problem, not really sure how but he did and the newest crisis is how big a cabnet does a triple sink need, found guy that custom makes cabnets and he said anything you want but need to know so will know where to frame up window that framer left out, he is quite nicely going to go back and put it in. Thanks for chuckles made my day.
pat


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

What's this beans on toast deal? - we demand explanation. You can't just throw something like this out and leave us hanging.

You talking white beans, red beans, black beans, kidney beans, great Northern beans (God help us), black eyed peas?

We may be insane but at least we know about biscuits and gravy - and sorghum 'lasses.

Inquiring minds want to know.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

BEANS on toast? (making nasty face now) Sounds... interesting.

By the way, Balled Peanuts don't smell so hot, either.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Not really a fan of the balled peanuts but I understand that the best ones are had from the roadside stands betwixt chattanooga and Asheville. I too am curious about the beans on toast.What sort of toast? How does one construct this ...delight?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I leave town for 3 days and look what happens!

So sorry about the demise of the thread, it was
lots of fun! But this one looks to rival the original
if # of postings are any indication.

Well, gotta run peanuts are on the boil--although
around these here parts its burled peanuts.
Call them what you like -- great stuff. Messy,
salty, keep roll of papertowels nearby, oh yeah
peanuts not crawfish, guess my mind is wandering
with crawfish being in season again!

Thanks for all the laughs!!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

This is the FUNNIEST thread! I didn't know you all had it in you! Everything is usually so serious on this particular forum!


 o Boiled peanuts (and house)

I first heard of boiled peanuts when I was a little girl, living in Texas at the time. A neighbor was from Tennessee and was always wishing she had some boiled peanuts. I finally got to taste them last spring at the National Cornbread Festival in South Pittsburg Tennessee. I loved them. Now, remember I like beans, which is sorta what they tasted like to me. The guy who sold them to me at the festival said he'd had a hard time cooking them because they have to boil for several hours (outside at his wife's request), so he'd start them when he got home from work and let them boil all night. Trouble was, "the bears keep gettin' to 'em first". Don't know that I liked 'em well enough to fight a bear for 'em, but they were good. Love those crawfish too. Not much I don't like, ('cept liver, with or without gravy.)

Oh, and they have the lower level (walk-out basement) of our house enclosed as of this evening. We were able to walk around on the deck and get the feel of what our house will be like. Exciting!!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

oh, i am so flattered so many are curious....
here we go...beans on toast recipe:
2 pieces of white bread (preferred good crust), toast them, and while still warm (important here because you want butter to melt in) spread liberally with a good butter, best beans here are Heinz vegetarian baked beans. heat up and pour right on top of toasts. season w/ salt & pepper. Bass could do, but if you want authentic..you do a lovely cup of tea with milk & sugar. AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH fantastic! msetwin- great news... i'm jelous but v. happy for you, that must be so exciting!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

"I finally got to taste them last spring at the National Cornbread Festival" ... well, msetwin, that explains a lot. Yes, sirree. The National Cornbread Festival. I can top that, because about 20 miles up the road from me they have the annual Turkey-Rama Festival. Try to top that one. No Balled OR Burled Peanuts there, just a whole lot of turkey.

And Nokeysyet, your description of the beans on toast is what I was really, really afraid it would be. I think I'll just take your word for the deliciosity of said treat.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Sarahmakes6, I got you beat... where I live we celebrate spring with the "Return of the Turkey Buzzards Festival" (they fly south every Oct. and return middle March). Billy Bacon & The Forbidden Pigs will be playing at the local watering hole. No boiled peanuts, but lots of pinto beans, and good ole Texas barbecue... and no cornbread, but lots of tortillas.

The buzzards are highly regarded around here.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

we used to have the annual Kudzu ball but it has sadly been canceled.The cornbread festival is fortunately only a half hour away. Beans on toast...might be good with a liberal dose of gravy...mmm...gravy.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Hey -- !

I have BIG plans to go to the Cornbread Festival this year!! It's just 20 minutes south!! (maybe I can get on HGTV this year!!).

TNLady

Here is a link that might be useful: National Cornbread Festival


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Ill probably see you there. DW is from Montreal and has never seen real cornbread. They think it looks like a muffin up there... savages.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Nokeysyet - thanks for beans on toast recipe. I haven't been able to sleep since Fri. night trying to figure it out. Now that I know, I probably won't sleep tonite either.

Nat'l Cornbread Festival sounds fun. White beans, cornbread and a good white onion. Bet that town smells wonderful at festival time.

I'll take my cornbread made in black iron skillets. Same for gravy. No good cooked in modern cookware. As most of you are aware, black iron skillets cook best if their origin can be traced back at least to your great grandmother. Anything younger that this is an abomination in the true Southern kitchen.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I cant even imagine cooking in an iron skillet without a proper pedigree.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

We have mule days here. And collard festivals. And the boiled peanuts ? Don't have to go far at all for those - they sell 'em in the grocery store (canned goods section-top shelf).

btw - There is no such thing as good ole Texas barbeque ! The ONLY barbeque is North Carolina barbeque !!! Don't forget the cole slaw and brunswick stew and hush puppies.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Heh, heh.... wish I had some North Carolina barbecue right now to compare! Although brunswick stew doesn't sound too barbecue-y, what is it?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

TNLady, Last year the Food Network telecast the National Cornbread Cookoff. I won third place, so I was on Food Network - Great American Festivals. And my everyday iron skillet was my great gramma's, but I had to season and break in a Lodge for the contest (a requirement). I'm trying to qualify again this time. If I make it maybe I'll see you there!

Hard Head, one of my favorite bands used to be Timothy Pee and the Outhouse Three, so sounds like Billy Bacon and the Forbidden Pigs might be cut from the same "silk purse".

Oh, and we went out to home site this afternoon and lo and behold, the guys were working! Snapping chalk lines on the floor/deck for the walls to begin framing them tomorrow. It's beginning to look like a real house. hehe


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Brunswick Stew is a traditional favorite with Southern barbecue. It has very deep Southern roots, and you'll find it almost always served with barbecue in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It is a thick stew that can be made many different ways but traditionally has chicken, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, butter beans (lima beans), corn, ocra, and seasonings. You can get canned brunswick stew from Mrs. Fearnow's

Actually, I have been very interested in trying Texas barbeque since the superbowl. Some of the special features on the news around here revolved around Carolina Panthers players comparing NC barbeque with TX barbeque. I'm sure you can imagine who won the votes from the Carolina players. But I still would like to try the Texas version. I'll pack up some NC bbq to send to you and you can send some TX bbq to me. :)


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Can I get in on this bbq deal?
Can trade boudin, cracklins, & turduckins!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

MSEtwin,

I can bring my skillet if you need an extra - not my grannie's (she was a bohemian Chicagoan!) but it dates back to '76 when I was cooking on a wood stove on my Hippie farm. It totally grosses out my (also yankee) Mom - so we know it's just perfect!!

I use to cater, manage, and misc. food service - I'll come be your trusty aide!! Gee, maybe I should enter my famous corn/johnny/hoe (that's with an E yanks!!) cakes!!!

Hope they have some good sorghum to go with all that cornbread - HA!

TNLady


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Hey Guys - we're getting way off track here. This was supposed to be a place to post eulogies for our dearly departed.

But - I guess you can't have a true Southern funeral without food - so carry on.

Let's talk catfish and hushpuppies.

M I Z Z O U


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Oh ~ ya'll are making me REEEEEAALLY hungry! I can't believe this thread continued through the weekend and is still going strong.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Anyone wanna post a good cornbread recipe I can make in my (Godforbid) new cast iron skillet (bought and seasoned it last year, but it's still "new" to me)...camping seasons coming up!!! Val


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

The Hoe (HO - HO!) cakes are great for camping as they fry instead of bake:

1 Cup Yellow Corn Meal (Yellow but not rough stone-ground)
1 1/4 teas. Baking powder
1 teas. salt
1 1/4 Cup boiling (a must) water
1 Egg

Mix first 3 ingredients (you can mix and bag at home - then tote). Add boiling water and stir thoroughly (this softens the corn meal). Add egg and mix thoroughly. Drop by serving size spoonful into 1/2 inch of medium hot oil (I prefer corn oil for these but any will do). Cook until lightly to med. browned on one side - turn over and repeat - drain. You're done - awesome for breakfast or dinner!! DH likes just butter - the kids and I like syrup or honey on top...

Make sure your oil is hot enough but not too hot - it takes practice!!

TNLady


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

OMG does that sound good! Thank you!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Energy Rater, I don't know what boudin, cracklins, & turduckins are, but I would send you NC bbq for some of your excellent energy rating advice ! (Actually, I do know what cracklins are - I am from the south, ya know!)

Over on the kitchen forum they sometimes do some sort of a swap where people in different parts of the country send "gift baskets" to people in other parts of the country. I'm fairly new to gardenweb, so I didn't get in on their last swap, but it might be fun to do a swap with people on the build a home board.

Mizzou, If I remember correctly, you were the one that strayed us OT with your white gravy and red eye gravy talk !


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Nope - tnlamar brought up the GRAVY. I just asked the simple question - What Kind of gravy?


There are many more variations of gravy since you brought it up --- there's ..................... fading off to a nap thinking about, biscuits, gravy, ham, BBQ, cornbread, catfish, beans, hushpuppies, grits and chitlins.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED... that my beans on toast recipe was met with such a huge lack of enthusiasm! NEVER again will i stick my british neck out again; ALL this talk of hushpuppies, grits, offensive balled peanuts and such!
and to think i was having a really depressing day to begin with!

kidding.

(not about the depressing day part though.)
but YES the rest .... joking.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Sorry nokeysyet. You know we southerners donnt eat anything unless its deep fried. mmm... deep fried beans on toast...


 o deep fried with gravy

nokeysyet - how about "toad in the hole" - deep fried with gravy?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I dont know if I could eat something called toad in the hole, even with gravy. I guess it might be okay with a side of okra.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Energy_Rater, turduckins sounds like something you'd want to flush! What the heck is it?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Mizzou,
hate to disturb this hilarious thread, but I looked at your house...LOVE it! Your basement floor looks fantastic! Is it cold? Do you like it? If ya don't mind me asking....Val


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Valtog - Thanks for compliments. Re: basement floor - it's acid stained - DIY - PITA to do but was pleased with the results. Not cold. I seldom go down there - except to carry more pizza, snacks, biscuits and gravy down there for DD and friends.

Now that you've made this thread legitimate again we can proceed.

M I Z Z O U


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

MMMM biscuits and gravy...sorry I had to say it..


 o gravy stars

tnlamar - and others - you'll love this!! and I SWEAR I'm not making this up.

Last night had dinner, excuse me, supper at local B and G. Ran in to someone I hadn't seen for a couple years and started talking about this and that and the conversation came around to - you guessed it - FOOD. He mentioned another acquaintance who had recently purchased a restaurant and had begun opening for breakfast. Said he and a few of his cronies were "assisting" him with the fineries of breakfast preparation - ie. how they liked their coffee, eggs etc.

Then he mentioned "GRAVY" and our 14 yr old daughter said "Well, the only place in town that I eat gravy is at ???????'s." Then proceeded to explain the differences in gravy around town. She had no clue what was going on here on this forum. I stifled the laugh until we got outside - I could see myself trying to explain this post to an outsider. Probably would have been committed.

Anyway - the gravy stars they are aligning. Noticed the "big dipper" in the sky last night and realized the only reason for it is -- there must be gravy in heaven.

M I Z Z O U


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

OK, enough gravy, I'm ready for some vegetables. Let's see, some black-eyed peas, butter beans, collard greens, snap beans, sweet potato, and Vidallia onion slices. Served with sweet tea and cornbread. Oh yeah, for dessert, I'll have homemade pecan pie.

Anybody hungry yet?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Mizzou- you're killing me! I may just start a new religion based on the idea that the big dipper is full of gravy just waiting for the faithful to arrive. The adherants to the church of the handsome prophet shall spend eternity being paddled around in gravy boats and eating deep fried food, Laughing hysterically at anyone who thinks that one cant deep fry a salad.

I spent some time in Missouri in my formative years and I dont recall anyone cracking me up like this.Gracias!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

(with a solemn face...) Let us all remember why this thread was started in the first place ~ to serve as a reminder of the great "What you tell people..." thread. As this Obituary thread nears the 100 mark, I am already sad. Will there be an obituary for the obituary?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Its almost Easter so I thought it appropriate for this thread to rise again.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Thought maybe you had disappeared. Possibly rounding up new members for "The Church of the Handsome Prophet"? Can I guess what might be served at communion?

Regarding the Great State of Missouri - It helps to have some humor to live here. AND - you CAN deep fry salad. One the local B and G's here serves Flash Fried Spinach. My wife swears it's wonderful but I'll just take her word for it.

I'm also considering a new thread entitled "What you don't tell people you discuss on this forum".


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I smell rotten eggs!


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Only 8 to go after this post and then we "die!" --- BooHoo's in her sleeve, prostrate across the table, like a good southern belle....(Hee - Hee!!)(Guffaw)(Snicker) ;)>

TNLady


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

What I don't tell people I discuss on this forum. Hmmm... That's a good idea! Heck, I don't even admit to people that I'm hanging around a forum! :)

Seven to go...


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

You people are crazy over here! I'm going back to the sanity(??) of kitchen forums.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

While you're in the kitchen pick me up some cornbread.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

And some red eyes for gravy. Can you put gravy on balled peanuts?


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

History has proven that you can put gravy on anything.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Actually you don't really need anything else to put gravy ON. It can be a meal in itself.

Everything else is just icing on the gravy.

Really, I don't think we're too crazy over here. I've never even seen gravy mentioned in the kitchen forum ... or biscuits ... or cornbread. Just a lot of talk about counter tops and cabinets.

What good is all that if you don't make any gravy.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

Gravy and bread = "something" on a shingle, and YES - that is a meal... and mentioning the word shingle makes this a legitimate house-building post. So there.


 o RE: --- Obituary ---

I'm awake! burp, hiccup--- man, my head hurts....looks like this is the end...CHEERS to our dear friend!!! clink ---hair of the dog, you know ;)
