He's B-A-A-C-K.... Off to IPE tomorrow, then maybe uncover the Imperial and "test drive" the thermostats. Stay tuned!! CHEERS! Chuckie That's good news! Last I heard he was headed your way and trying to catch a few winks in a Walmart parking lot. I didn't see his name in the notices (I check for mine most every morning) so figured he must be okay.

I thought about him the other day when the news reported a guy going on a shooting rampage at a cabinet company in Bryan Texas. That's where Dwayner lives.

I hope he's & has no hard feelings about out ice storm comments. We should have been more sensitive about our words. That was a minefield of of feelings we shouldn't have wandered into. We all live in glass houses, so non of us should be throwing stones. A better practice is to build bridges of support than throwing bombs of criticisms. Life is too short to waste any of it in conflict.

Man Chuckie, that looks so good! I have one of those pots for the well but have only used it a few times because I keep forgetting about it. That's a sure sign that I have too much stuff around here but that's no secret.
We don't have Aldi's here and I wish we did.

Chuckie, you don’t find that the tomato sauce picks up a funny taste from the aluminum?

Chuckie, you don’t find that the tomato sauce picks up a funny taste from the aluminum? Nope, not to US anyway. And I made the sweet-n-sour cabbage soup last night, and even left it in the large well pot in the icebox overnight, as I was too pooped to mess w/it last night! Had a bowl for breakfast, tastes the same to ME IMHO! CHEERS! Chuckie

That's a sure sign that I have too much stuff around here but that's no secret. We don't have Aldi's here and I wish we did. When you want to cook something DOWN a bit--as in thicken--it works GREAT, cause you can leave the lid off, and let it simmer. I put that "splatter screen" over the top to keep things from "jumping" from the upper cabinets/stove shelf into the pot, and also to guard against any type of (imagined) 'vermin' that may want to venture into it... And I had it turned to maybe lower mid-flame, and THOUGHT I'd asked Monkey to turn it DOWN as low as it'd go before we went to cocktail hour--and she DIDN'T. Well, we came home, and it had cooked down A LOT, so she added a big can of tomato sauce w/a coupla shakes from the sugar shaker, let it simmer a coupla MORE minutes, and we all commented on how GREAT it tasted!!! LOL, amazing what you can cobble together to save a meal! CHEERS! Chuckie

I love finding an old cookbook that's full of stuff like hand written notes and recipes clipped out of newspapers and magazines. I often wonder how many of those notes were just that, where someone's alterations weren't quite planned or they were half way through throwing stuff in the pot when they figured out the were out of something and guessed at a substitute. That's how I first found out about using Fritos in meat loaf. I remember as a kid us hurrying to the grocery store after my dad got home from work because they closed at 6pm. All of them. And Saturdays were short days, if they were open at all, and forget grocery shopping on Sundays. I like the convenience of being able to shop 24/7 but man do I miss a lot about those simpler days.
