Oxtail ragu over penne with braised endive and dollops of Little Green Dress (Vivian Howard recipe.)

While I was at the store getting the mint etc. to make LGD I noticed a big bunch of beautiful endive. I was surprised to see it. To my knowledge I've never eaten it. For sure I've never had it braised. So, to go with last nights meal, I braised some in butter and lemon juice (and salt, of course). Then plated it up with dollops of LGD. Oh my, it was good. Highly recommend.

I'll show just a couple more Wesson oil. I think the booklet must have taken a dive in the oil at some point. And finally, the every popular Watkins Cook Book

And, in case the above didn't give you enough man pleasing recipes, here's a whole 'nother one Thought I'd show some ideas for the upcoming holidays..... Also, when the women are away, men broil! This one wouldn't be socially acceptable at all these days. I always loved Aunt Jemima. When I was little I thought that she must give really great hugs.

This is one of my favorites...it's a paper doll, well paper grandma I bust this one out when Ronnie is mad at me....I fix him these menus PROVEN that men prefer and POOF! He's not mad any more. Yes, I strive to be the apple of his eye See? A JURY of men voted that they like meals with FLAVOR. Who knew? Yes. Every night before bed I lay out a platter of sandwich fixings in the fridge so that Ronnie can have fun rustling up a midnight snack. And never forget. Men prefer Bond Bread. Except I think they went out of business.......

Help during war time More baking powder (who knew there were so many different brands?) This is from the gas stove company With special recipes for when your wife is away...because wives hate Italian spaghetti?????

I have a ton of these things. Saved from great grandmothers on both sides passed through my grammy--and probably some she saved too. You might be sorry you asked 🤣 I will make several posts so there aren't a ton of pics in each. Not 100, but 101! uses for salt A lot that I have are baking powder and baking soda related Flour Canning/Pickling salt More baking powder Even more baking powder lol Corn (contemplating sending this to @liuzhou--I know he'd adore it. No idea who's signature is in it

Totally right. Very very mild...a slight hint of sweet, very slight. Edited to say make sure you get the pitted ones...

O M G @curls and @blue_dolphin are BRILLIANT people. Thank you so much!!! LOL I guess the recipe did have celery seed......

Damn it. Mine will be here Tuesday.

Went through all the peppers yesterday and weeded out the ones that needed to be dealt with immediately. Steam broiled in the CSO for about 7 mins on each side. Peeled nicely.

Venison roast in the slow cooker last night

You need Deep Run Roots and you need this new one too. (I'm out of shelf space and now have a stack of cookbooks on the floor 🙃) Ok, so yesterday we had to go to the liquor store (can't be out of wine) and once in the car I decided to go to the grocery store....Little Green Dress was calling me..... Somewhere in this new cookbook Vivian says that the herbs found in the grocery store in the tiny portions in the little plastic boxes makes her sad or angry or something like that. That stuck out to me because (sadly) in the winter, I've been known to purchase those high priced suckers 🙋‍♀️. I zoomed over to those little plastic boxes and saw that the mint didn't look too bad, so, even though I was disappointing Vivian, I put them in my cart along with some parsley. Not the freshest, but it wasn't too bad. Another confession: I don't care for mint. I steer clear of recipes that use mint. But, knowing how much I like her recipes I decided to try this. I tasted LGD after it was done...it tastes SO GOOD. Fresh, briny, not like mint at all! A third confession: (this is turning into a couch session) I had never heard of castelvetrano olives. So, I googled on the way to the store and found that Mezzetta brand (which is prevalent around here) sells them so I had hope. Lots of people must be making LGD because I got the last jar! Anyway, here is my LGD all ready for some serious usage

I hope she did! I can't believe I was so stupid sigh.

Well, dang, the link to the cowboy candy recipe that I used doesn't work anymore (lesson to Shelby: don't depend on the internet, write stuff down!). I'm not seeing anything online yet that looks close to what I did. I know I didn't put any celery and I don't think I did any turmeric.....I'll keep looking.

Ok, give me time. Might be a few days....family illness but I hope I'm wrong. Long story short as soon as I can I'll post the recipe

I love cowboy candy! Excellent over ribs...baked chicken....on top of cream cheese with crackers.... you should make some. Good stuff!

I'mma have to get more onions 😳

This sounds heavenly. I must find some livers soon. Thank you!!!

I tackled the jalapeños yesterday. Saving a few back for other purposes. There weren't enough to can so I decided to pickle them and let them set in the brine for a while on the stove. When mostly cooled I dumped them in a jar. I figure they will stay nicely in the fridge for at least a month. I use pickled jalapeños in a lot of things.

That's one of the neatest markets I've ever seen! I love the decor and the vibe.

I'm jealous!!!!!! I'm sure I can order the olives....but the mint not so much.

Stuffed peppers and venison spaghetti red

I need this in my life. Could you post the chicken liver recipe please? I actually have pomegranate molasses.

Kim, I really admire your organization! I can't figure out dinner the next day much less the impending holidays. I need to get my life together like you!
