Deal!

I could throw anything in a casserole and you'd probably eat it.

 

[blessedwoman]

Ah....Italian is my favorite!! Half day from me? Cool!! Where are ya?

South Jersey....about 1/2 hour from the DelMem bridge!

I cook things other than Italian usually. I'm no gourmet, but my husband, kids and stepkids love it! They think I'm awesome! LOL, good thing!

Made some chicken breast with olive oil, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese and kalamata olives not long ago....yum. I think it's time!

Gosh, and now I have to go to work!

Oh, those olives sound GOOD! I eat green and black and seasoned and the bitter italian ones and currently the kalamatas are my fave!

We had flatbread pizzas at pizzaria uno one night and loved them. Now we make them at home every few weeks. That, lol, is the kind of thing I do. If I find something we like at a restaurant, I start cooking it at home!

Yum!

All right, really going out there now.....

Depends. If it was a special request, I'd eat it. If I had my druthers, I wouldn't eat a pickled beet and olive hotdish!

Aww, c'mon! Anything with olives'd have to be good!

Ok, seriously avoiding the work now.....

 

[GritsnGrace]

Mmmmm, what's your specialty???

I like to once in a while go across town to the Hushpuppy here so I can get catfish, and the
green tomato relish.
The only real southern food I learned to make when I was in school was cornbread.
What I really want to learn to make is fried okra.
I love that hot pickled okra, too.
Durnit. Now I am hungry in the middle of the night...!!

Well, I'm no chef, but I can make just about anything I feel like, if I put my mind to it!! (scary thought, huh? ) One of the exes told my kids I couldn't cook, could I have grown a 6' 220 pound soldierboy if I couldn't???

My specialty? My favorite comfort food is fried chicken, smashed taters with cream gravy, biscuits, corn on the cob, and iced tea!!! Oh, I can make fried okra, too!

My grandma came from Naples, Italy. She always said "If you can read, you can cook." I tell my kids that too.

So very true!! My problem here, though is my stove temp isn't right, I have to use a lower temp on most things in the oven! I burned quite a lot of cookies before I figgerd out why!! I really (really) hate electric stoves!!

I know, I have a gas stove with an electric ignighter. The oven runs too low, by about 10 - 15 degrees. The "turbo" burner that is supposed to burn hotter than any of the others, doesn't. I manage to get dinner done, and burn stuff too

 

[GritsnGrace]

I just pretend it is Cajun, and call it blackened!!!

When the smoke alarm goes off I holler "Dinner's ready!"

My grandma came from Naples, Italy. She always said "If you can read, you can cook." I tell my kids that too.

My mom tells my youngest daughter that too. My oldest daughter is a very good cook.

I really (really) hate electric stoves!!

I do too!! I've always cooked on gas stoves until I moved to my present home 10 years ago. I've adapted over the years.

 

[GritsnGrace]

Well, I have adapted, but that doesn't mean I like it! My next house WILL have a gas stove!!

 

[MMXII]

I think when/if something happens to this stove I might be able to replace it with propane.

 

[GritsnGrace]

I'm not sure I'd like propane. I just want gas heat, and dryer, too!! When I trade in this hunk of scrap metal, I want one with gas!!

 

[MMXII]

/me fires up the coffee maker.

I miss J1stK having food around here. Hope he gets his computer up and running soon.

Howdy all. It's a beautiful morning here. How's it there?

 

[HisBelovedMelody]

HEY MMXII..how are you today? Thanks for the fresh coffee...yum. I go get the crown on my tooth today! YAHOO! Joy oh joy! 9:20, just what I want to be doing..but glad it will be done. Then I don't go to the dentist again till July for a cleaning!

 

[MN John]

No food around, I'll run out to Wawa.

 

[MN John]

/me returns and fills the 8-slice toaster with frosted cherry Pop Tarts for everybody.
