I wish you guys would stop removing the mystery of this wondrous stuff before I have the chance to try it. 😠

A couple of eggs and soft bread crumbs.

I haven't made or tasted this stuff yet, but maybe I'd add some cream?

YAY! Been wondering about this ever since Jo wrote about it. I just didn't have the courage to ask. Amazon doesn't have the pickled ramps that @Kim Shook got, dang it. No pickled ramps at all so I ordered pickled pearl onions. Can't wait.

😳 This is what mine looks like after I've organized. I think you should wait until it's a lot worse.

A couple of meals. It's getting hard to think of new meal ideas that I can eat (needs to be soft, no salad...no crunch) and not bore Ronnie to tears lol. I think he's had his fill of pasta (but he's probably getting that tonight...lol) Anyway, been doing a lot of things with venison burger. Stroganoff, goulash..stuff like that. Needed scalloped potatoes after seeing @gfweb's Venison meatloaf to go with Last night surf and turf--venison steak for Ronnie and shrimp for me....I cheated and tried to eat a bit of steak too. You should see how long it took me. I was still sitting at the table this morning when Ronnie got up for hunting lol (kidding). my sad little plate lol Yes. The sprouts are cooked to death. But I can eat them that way I MISS SALAD.

Hi. Remember me? I can't believe it's been since June that I've made any whole wheat bread. My poor mill has been staring at me all this time, wondering what it did to deserve such non-usage. I can only say that the garden did so good that I canned a lot lot lot and then my periodontal stuff has kicked my butt. I didn't realize how bad I felt for such a long time until I got on antibiotics. Ahhhhh the wonders of medicine lol. Anyway. I put an end to my mill's misery and made bread yesterday . I decided to go with the Serious Eat's recipe again--and the 4th time would have been the charm had I not screwed up and forgot to add water and oil in the last step (banging head against table repeatedly). I can't believe I did that. I realized my mistake right after I put the dough in the pan to rise for the last time. The dough felt really good so I decided to go ahead and bake. Dough after second rise I'm not sure my screw up really hurt too much thankfully..... I'm back on the bread wagon and I'm going to try new grains and recipes next.

Mine too

Call in sick!!! You can't pass this up!

I kinda think I'd love that version.....after seeing yours I had to make them (the cheesy kind) to go with meatloaf tonight. Doing your version next. It's becoming a challenge to come up with edible dinner (for me) that I and Ronnie enjoy during this damn dental crap. Oh well......I've needed to lose weight for years 😁 the only upside lol.

Scalloped?

I hope it works! I'd say if it makes it through the decalcify process then you're good to go. It's when it won't get finish that process that it might need the de-gunking.

Looks really good. Ronnie has been wanting crab ravioli.....you've inspired me to maybe get motivated and do that for tonight Wish I had some asparagus, though.

😳

It has to be a large beer.

What's the saying? Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission?

Sad for the fingers and tongs, but still excited for the prickly pear find! Should include a link to this in the foraging thread

FUN!!!! Prickly pear juice! Can't wait to see

After discussing with Ronnie, we bought his two daughters each a CSO for Christmas. They are still $159 US as of Nov. 11. I am pretty sure that one daughter will love it, not so sure about the other, but even though they are adults, gifts still have to be fair and equal lol.

It's an epidemic ......we are suffering the same. Flat tires on trailers etc. SUCH a PITA. I feel for you.

4. Two birds in the bush? (Is that a thing?) 5. Welcome to the club 6. The last part is "lightly" but I can't figure the first out

3. You have a lot at stake

2. Learning the ropes?

1. Two Peas In A Pod ?

As always, I'm enjoying all of the wonderful meal pictures. I had four hours of dental surgery on Tuesday, so I'm living (eating) vicariously through you guys The day before dental hell. My last chance at steak, salad and corn for a while. After surgery.... What I wanted to eat: What I tried to eat: Last night was a bit better. I was hungry. I like to look at @Kim Shook's recipe site for ideas and had been looking at this . I am not supposed to eat anything crunchy or any meat that shreds or really anything it seems like lol. I changed the recipe up, but I thank Kim for inspiring me I used corn tortillas and venison burger that I cooked with onions, de-seeded hatch chile peppers and taco seasonings. Oh and a dash of salsa. I opened a can of refried beans, spread some on a tortilla, spooned the meat mixture on top and then sprinkled shredded sharp cheddar. I repeated that with another tortilla and then put one on top, spread with more salsa and some rotel cheese dip (I can't have chips but you can bet your ass I spooned that cheese right in my mouth, chip or not lol). Baked for about 20 mins. along with RG beans and some rice. Ignore any green stuff on my plate. Old habits die hard...I had forgotten that I can't eat that either. Sigh. I am, however drinking wine. I am not supposed to do that either due to a medication. I don't care. I am a rebel.
