Happy thread :)

They can't cook worth a shit.
They can cook an egg, barely, and boil a potato & fry a chop or banger, but that's about it.

Are you kidding? English food is crap. Eskimos serve a better meal.
Between the sheets is all that's important.

did all you guys forget your wedding vows?

sickness and health, rich and poor, thickness and thinness. lol

Don't get me wrong, I do love my wife, even though when I see one of these, I think of her

Your right there, but I do like they're Yorkshire pudding & a nice roast beef & fish & chips with vinegar.

Between the sheets is all that's important.

How shallow a thought
You disappoint me.

I've already had poorer. I'll take a few more years of richer.

 

[Jimdamick]

if those are homemade meatballs, how about the recipe for them plz!!

I'll give you one later.
Do you like garlic?
I use garlic cloves sliced thinly & placed in the meatballs.
Do you prefer baking or pan?

looooove garlic.

i've never made them before. when i lived in PA, some guys i played poker with (father and son) both made the best meatballs i've ever eaten. i think they cooked them from raw in the sauce?? not sure though.

 

[Jimdamick]

you can make it..brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and flour.

• 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks; 230g) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)

go for it! don't mix too much because you want big 'crumbs'

No eggs or baking powder?
Use confectioners sugar next time instead of granulated, I think it would work better
Also 1 tbs of honey is nice & I would add some cocoa powder also, around 1/2 a cup.
Also, where the fuck are the walnuts?
You need walnuts
Thanks for sharing

My wife and I do garlic for most cooking. Use it in our breakfast omelets.
I have a garlic bread recipe that kills. You can even use dried diced garlic.
Take any of your dried herbs and spices and add water 1 for 1, wait about 5 minutes then add to your recipes. That way the spices are not spending time absorbing moisture. Instead giving you the taste your looking for. If it seems a little watery add a little more spice. Get'em to about applesauce texture.
Works for me.

I'll tell you what makes me happy and unhappy.
Happy: Not having to live in England.
Unhappy: Having a British pension.

I've tried marriage twice. The second one lasted 11 years. Never again, it ain't worth the orgasm. I can't live with others, male, or female.

But hey, this is a "Happy Thread", correct? That's why I'm drawn toward comedy. I found early on that laughter is therapeutic and makes me feel better.

Well they are letting the heathen out of their cage and the border is packed with Americans looking for a taste of civilization...

Take a look at the 6-mile lines going into Canada, where drivers are waiting up to 7 hours to enter after the US travel ban lifted

A boom in travel, as well as a union strike earlier in the week, caused wait times up to seven hours as Canada reopened to US vacationers.

Take a look at the 6-mile lines going into Canada, where drivers are waiting up to 7 hours to enter after the US travel ban lifted

• US travelers drove to the Canadian border after it reopened to nonessential travelers on Monday.
• The boom in travel, and a union strike earlier in the week, caused waits of up to seven hours.
• Pictures from the scene show the traffic jams that spanned more than 6 miles.

Good thing you like garlic, I use a lot.
I wouldn't cook the meatballs raw personally in sauce, I would brown & then add them to the sauce for around 1/2 hour or so.
Can you get fresh pasta? If possible get it, there's a big difference.
Fresh Italian bread would be nice also with a bottle of this (see below )
Also, you MUST make a sauce. Fuck that bottled shit.
If you want I'll give you a simple recipe.



And don't forget the music, it presents a good energy in the kitchen.

So speaking of Moose, years back I was told this story:
"Angelo and his family went camping with others in Maine.
One of his sons went down to the lake to gather water for washing dishes and such.
Standing up he found himself face-to-face with a bull moose.
He stood there in frozen fear for about five minutes. No motion.
Finally finding his nerve he made one step backwards.
The moose stepped one step forward.
Again, petrified, he stood frozen for many minutes.
Again taking one step back...answered by one step forward.
One more time, taking a step back only to have the moose take another step forward.
BOOM.. the boy ran full tilt back to camp. Dove into his tent and slept for 18 hours.
Angelo tried to wake his son but had to wait and only then could his son reveal the story."

And don't forget the music,

Caruso sang the day before the great San Francisco earthquake.

Sprinkle a little Pecorino Romano on your bread (you do heat your bread, right?), it's nice.

the same father/son i told you about would then go to an italian bakery the day of to get fresh italian sub rolls. Mangia!!!

we do chianti or lambrusco with italian food

and my sauce is simple but awesome, a can of san marzano whole tomatoes from italy, some fresh basil, minced garlic and a bit of olive oil.

SO JIM, you stole my recipe. I prefer Romano over Parmesan. More bite.
I use the broiler to lightly brown the top.

I encountered a big damn moose while out hiking a few years back. Was walking along this steam huffing joints, stoned to the bone, when I came around this bush to wind up face to face with one. It was a few feet away across the little stream. Slowly backed away and climbed a hill to go around. Big weird fuzzy horned horse looking fuckers.

You understand your admitting that better food is to be found else where.
The Italians have got this covered. Wine, food, even the women, Oooooh. Olive skin, dark eyes. Gawd help me!
