The Bloody Maryis my beverage of choice. I prefer Clamato.

I buy frozen fillets from Schwan's and, unless I missed it, there's no mention of that.

This Fall I bought some Wild Turkey Rye to use in my hot drinks. When I went back for more the clerk at the liquor store informed me that they're no longer stocking it. I really liked it andwonder what I should get instead. Suggestions?

I've been bingeing on Wild Wild Country on Netflix. At that time, 1981, I had been an Oregonian for more than a decade and was fascinated by the Bhagwan Rajneesh and all the followers. This documentary is not to be missed!

On tonight's menu is Ina Garten's Grown Up Mac and Cheese. If you've never tried her recipe, it is amazingly good. I do omit the bacon.

I placed my order for beef Bisto on Amazon on March 12. Still waiting for it to arrive. The new ‘expected by’ datei is April 13. wow.

YUM!

What comes to mind for me is the McDonald's Sausage Biscuit. We'd often stop by on the way to Mt. Bachelor or Mt. Hood Meadows for skiing. This is not the sausage biscuit with egg, however, it's not as good.

I haven't tried their wild rice but I have gotten some of their freeze dried veg. mix as well as their soup mix. What I have tried from there was really excellent. Their customer ratings are very, very good.

Yesterday, while rooting in the inside upright freezer looking for some hamburger, I finally found the meatloaf mix!!! I'd been looking in the freezer that's in the garage. I had already made my meatloaf, though, since when I was searching for that package I came across packages of gr. beef, gr. pork, and gr. veal so I thawed those and made my meatloaf from that. The package of veal was a little big so the meatloaf isn't the best; it would've been better with more beef. But it's good enough and makes quite good sandwiches with my homemade sourdough bread. No one would ever think of me as a hoarder.....unless they looked in my freezers.

Yeah, I'm jealous.

My ( very plebeian) dinner is unstuffed cabbage. I've little success with removing the leaves intact to roll up the cabbage. My recipe makes it into a sort of skillet or casserole dish with chopped up cabbage leaves.

Thanks for posting back about your experience with the Edward's; I had considered ordering one for myself but now I'm glad I didn't. $56 is a lot for so-so quality. I can get pretty darned good ham around here for a lot less.

After a few years of use I gave away my big wooden board. It was lovely but I never felt it was clean enough and it held onto odors. Now I use only the poly boards that can go into the d/w. They don't dull my knives and are easy to maneuver (my wooden board was really heavy). While I'm not by any means a germaphobe (sp?), I like knowing they're clean.

Clearly you are the master!

Had lunch today with friends at our local favorite diner where the conversation turned to meatloaf. It left me craving meatloaf and since the weather for the rest of the week includes snow mixed with rain It lends itself to meatloaf and meatloaf sandwiches. Coming home I dug through the big freezer out in the garage looking for the package of meatloaf mix I know is in there. I couldn't find it! The biggest reason my freezers are so full, I can never find anything so I go buy more! Now what do I do? I will try again tomorrow. Then I’ll have to buy more. Such a pickle.

I picked up a couple game hens on a whim one day a month or so ago. Decided yesterday to thaw one and have it for dinner. I just removed the backbone, flattened and seasoned it. Roasted approximately 40 min. in the CSO. Ate half.

Nice!

Just curious, does your brother feed his dogs Darwin's Raw Pet Food or does he make his own?

When in doubt I always bring wine. I can't imagine anyone feeling insulted, ever.

My head is hanging in shame as well. I see no way out.

Yes, that is impressive!!

I will never again make soup in my ipot and leave it unattended while it boils over into the base and onto the counter. Since you can't submerge it or put liquid in the base it is a b*itch to clean!

Wow! Those are beautiful!
