Comments: JD, we had biscuits & gravy with sausage & eggs yesterday & again this mrng !! As Jack said, the gravy is best when made in the skillet you just made sausage or chicken friend steak in. I've never "warmed" the milk before adding it to my skillet with the browned and thickened grease, but that will work too. But trust me, there is an art to getting the right amount of grease & drippings combined with the right amount of flour and pouring in the milk so it doesn't lump. Bring Kathy with you in June & we'll show her how to do it southern Oak Cliff style!! Did everyone set their clocks forward????
Comments: While we are talking about gravy recipes, here a good one: Take one filet mignon steak and place in large pot and add the following ingredients. 1 cup vodka 1 cup sour mash whiskey 1 cup gin 1 cup bourbon 1 cup cognac 1 twist of lime (optional) Heat all ingredients until piping hot (do not boil) Throw out the steak, it's ruined. But ooooohhh that gravy!  For more festive occasions, substitute 1 cup champagne for the sour mash whiskey.
Comments: OK, JD. Print the page or write it down and put in a safe place. In a heavy, 2 quart saucepan, heat 3 cups of milk BUT DON'T LET IT BOIL. Use a skillet ( hopefully where you have just cook a chicken fried steak) put 4 or 5 tablespoons of grease. (better if you use that much left over from cooking the steaks) Over medium heat, heat the grease and add 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue stirring to brown flour. When brown, hot and bubbling, add hot milk. Stir constantly until thick and creamy. Add 1 & 1/2 teaspoon slat and 1 teaspoon pepper or season to taste. There it is.....DON'T BURN IT. Enjoy.
Comments: I am sure that I have asked this question before...and for some reason, I believe I may have received an answer...but alas...I'm a DUMB A_ _ and have lost it somewhere in cyber space. Does anyone have a quality "White Cream Gravy" Recipe? Please help...use my e-mail address to the right in BLUE Thanks
Comments: SNL, you fell hook, line and sinker for Smiley's gagline.  JS, I agree with you whole-heartedly that Michael Clayton was a big let down. I don't know what all the hype was about.Yvonne and Dale are the greatest (but just ignore the megalomaniacal ramblings of Dale about winning a spelling bee - pure gibberish!)
Comments: Sam, I can't loan you money. I like you and want to see you again. Good to hear the Smileys and the Southworths got together and enjoied it. Sorry to hear Dale report that Von is sluring her words. Hey Southworth, did Dale have any problem hearing/understnding you? With that foursome you can bet there were some big words flying around.
Comments: My Bad. Von was reading the GB to me and I thought she said Jack wanted a 100 sows and bucks. Sorry! 
Comments: John, nice to see the class of 63 getting together with class of 66. Odd about the time though, we usually found 2 hrs with Dale felt like all day! . Nice to see that wasn't the case!  Why don't you & Dru come on up in June & meet the rest of the crowd. You already know all of us by name and I know many of the grp would love to meet you! I believe Dale & Yuvonne said they were planning to attend. Pigs & deer . . . ????  I'm lost!
Comments: Jack, Let me get this straight. You want Sam to give you 50 female pigs and 50 male deer?
Comments: Geesh I don't remember what I said in the CB yesterday. Working on tax return, working on tax return, tax return, I'm a good driver. Buddy, think your Fruit of the Looms was pulled up around your neck cutting off the oxygen to your brain. Jack, How about you loaning me $100,000.00 but just give me $50,000.00. That way you will owe me $50K and I will owe you $50K and we'll call it even.
Comments: Er, Sammy, could I borrow $100,000.00?
Comments: Some things in Life are a disappointment, while others surpass expectations. Take yesterday, for instance: Dru and I concluded the day watching the George Clooney movie, Michael Clayton. For all the hype it garnered during the Oscars, the movie was grim and mostly a let-down. At the other end of the spectrum, we met Dale and Yuvonne Smiley for lunch at nearby Pallotta's Italian Grille. A couple of hours flew by all too fast and we had a grand time swapping yarns about Oak Cliff, the world of public education, and the highs and lows of parenthood. Pretty cool.
Comments: Buddy C., my friend, you had the Bay Watch Strut before you hit the halls of SOC. I was there that day, Munden and I had a bet, those undies were silk, or double down if you were in the "Commando" mode.
Comments: Slamming Sam S.- just a qwesion for you ??? My first day of high school, as I walked the halls for the first time, I knew trouble was a head. The Munden stare was beaned on me like the deer in the head lights look (but I was the deer). I know you were in the pack of wolves with Dave that gave me a funny way of walking the rest of the day with my underwear above my back (wedgie) btw Sam did u plan on paying me back my 20 bucks (kidding brother)
Comments: Jack... No Ronney... So? JD.... Big Deal JAda..Stop whining Smiley... Duh! SNL... Maybe BLB... Nope Thought for the week: If you lend someone $20.00 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. |
She's such a good cook we'll have her cookin' up cream gravy before you head back to the tundra! (Jack's not a bad cook either)| < Previous 15 | Next 15 > |
