Pizza on my mind....
Never uneaten, no leftovers....well, maybe lunch tomorrow.

I’m made chocolate chocolate chunk cookies and ate too many.

When are you gals coming down for a visit ~Checks VPN~, I mean to Chicago?
I'll provide a spare bedroom, stove and running commentary.

My mother-in-law would save everything worth keeping at the table.
Down to as little as a tablespoon of veggies. After a few days, she had enough to use for Vegetable soup.


Having lived through the great depression, she saved "everything".

As tough is it was then, she never talked of this type of despair.

Both of my parents were born in 1932 and lived with tough times. They would recycle everything way before it was trendy and you cleaned your plate of whatever you took or God help you. My grandmother was so cheap she'd take everything home after eating out, including sugar packets and ketchup packets. She was born in 1882 and had her husband die at a young age so she knew how to stretch her money.

The pizza looks FAB, but . . . can I have my tennis shoes back?

I can't top Paco's pizza. But we made biscuits and gravy for the first time today. Pretty good. Just need to get some hash browns.

My gravy always ends up darker, guess I cook the roux longer.

I've been researching recipes for Lomo.

Roughly 2.5 lbs of pork loin cured and then hang dried till you loose 30% of the starting weight. A little intimidating

That just got added to my todo list. I've been leary of making dry cured meat products but after some quick research that looks doable.

My wife's double-cooked pork. So good.

Her hands even in the pic too if that's your kink.

I bought some Pillsbury dough for wrapping my brie en croute but I have an extra can so I'm going to put left over birria in some for quick and easy empanadas (maybe)

My wife wraps Brie up in a pastry dough and smothers it in brown sugar for our Superbowl snacks every year. It is so good. Comes out of the oven and she has to smack my hands to keep me away while it cools.
I talked her into letting me have some sausage after looking at all the great breakfast meals you guys show. I had bacon n jelly biscuits and some venison sausage with real maple syrup a forum member gifted me from VT. Just don't tell my cardiologist

I'd eat that and that is high praise as I believe all carbs are poison. I'm watching Mittleider Gardening and dreaming of what I'll grow in my can't even f'n grow a tomato box out here but my pot abides

I can't tell. Could she wrap them around a cucumber?

They're fairly small. I imagine they'd make your gherkin look like a dill.

Inject the oranges with vodka and you're golden.
