Leftover Discussion Thread: AL Special Election

No.  It's a Southron thing, you wouldn't understand.

If I dated my sister would it make sense?

Give it a try and let me know.

[Frank Cannon]

Give it a try and let me know.

I can't. She is engaged to my dad.

[RoosGirl]

I can't. She is engaged to my dad.

I bet a little thing like an engagement wouldn't stop a fellow such as yourself.

How was your luck with the gravy?

@RoosGirl
@Cyber Liberty

Making it tomorrow!  I’ll let you know how it turns out.  If I can’t pull it off, I don’t deserve gravy.

Truth.

If you run into trouble with lumps just get your immersion blender out if you have one.  If not, pour it through a strainer before you serve it. :)

Ayup!  Half the talent of a good cook is how to rescue boo-boos.  I used to think I didn't need an immersion blender, but now I can't do without it.

[roamer_1]

I just finished making the sausage gravy for tomorrow morning.  Followed my ratios and it turned out perfect.

That is impossible.

[Cyber Liberty]

Lumps? Come on people.

Yuck.  I'd rather save the shelf space for my immersion blender. 

[Cyber Liberty]

That is impossible.

Oh, it's possible with these new-fangled things we have called "Microwaves," but I'm with you, I'd rather make ii the morning of.  I cut Roos some slack, it's Christmas morning and she has a toddler.

Oh no... You don't understand me... Sausage gravy won't make it much past it's manufacture around here. Guaranteed availability beyond its point of manufacture is certainly measured in minutes.

And I have to eat it all, or risk giving it to my dog, whose weight is becoming problematic. So I must, of a necessity bear the burden for him. It_is_my_duty.

I could have used that this morning. Had disappointing gravy this morning at a local restaurant that tasted like melted Crisco.

[RoosGirl]

Tastes more better the next day.

It's not that hard to make yourself.  I've never found sausage gravy out that was any good.

I am thankful this Christmas season that I do not have to eat at Frank's house.

Mine was spicey burger and red eye gravy this morning, but made with beef stock... I kinda make an oinion gravy first , add the beef stock and coffee, and boil her down a bit before I throw in the flour to tighten it up... Taters w/ gravy and eggs on top. guuud eats.

[edpc]

Yeah - this stuff was poor.  Fortunately, it was only a small part of a breakfast sampler platter that was very good, otherwise.

Sometimes you gotta take one for the team, @roamer_1.

Fortunately, it's just Mrs. Liberty and me, and we have one simple Christmas tradition, since one of us or both are usually down with something.  I get out of bed, reach into our drawer of Casino Cash, grab a $500 bundle and hand it to Mrs. Liberty, saying "Merry Christmas Baby!"  She hands it back and says "Merry Christmas to you too, Baby!" and I put the money back in the drawer.  Then we tell everybody Sure, we exchanged gifts!  We exchanged $1,000 worth.

[goodwithagun]

We're vegetarians that eat fish, which I'm finding out hipsters have dubbed piscatarian. Any hoo, it's seafood paella for dinner tomorrow. I splurged on sea roach that are calmly napping in the downstairs fridge as I type. When I have a rare meat day I try to make it something out of the ordinary. My next one will be chorizo gravy with cheddar and chive biscuits served for dinner.

YEP. Sausage gravy must be eliminated from the world... And I am more than doing my part :)

I'm pretty sure it's "pescatarian", as in pesce or fish in Italian.  Not sure what a piscatarian is, but I wouldn't eat dinner at their house if I were you.  And seriously, wtf is a "sea roach"?

Sounds like something w/o backbone.  Shrimp or lobster maybe?

PETA calls fish "Sea Kittens."  But they're all insane.

@RoosGirl

I know what it is.  I love fish, but seafood....not so much.  I can eat a few sea roaches with cocktail sauce, but that time might be coming to an end...that phrase is going to stick in my head.

Seafood is the only thing I miss about living in Maryland.  Landlocked hybrid striped bass here in the Midwest don't have the same flavor as real ones from the Chesapeake.

Oh, man, fresh fish from the eastern shore is fantastic.

OMG.  Is this the sea roach you're talking about eating??



I think I"m gonna puke.

Rockfish stuffed with crab imperial at Fager's Island in Ocean City was one of the best meals I've ever had.

Did someone say Rock Lobster?

! No longer available

LOL.  I'm betting it's Shrimp.  Lobsters have been called that too.  It has more to do with their breeding habits than appearance.  "Breed like roaches" would be the expression.  That's life at the very bottom of the ocean, and food chain.  (Krill)

That nasty thing looks like a descendant of Trilobites.

A piscatarian is a cannibal who only eats people born between February 19 and March 20.

Yes the autocorrect on my old iPad is sketchy. It is pescatarian. As for sea roach, I was typing with @Frank Cannon in mind: it's lobster.

The kids kept peeking in the fridge all day. I had to relocate our elf Pete to the fridge to get them to knock it off.

[Smokin Joe]

Yeah. Even more fun when they come ashore with lovin' on their minds. Like stacks of hard hats...

They're the inspiration for the spaceships the creepy little Ferengi flew around in Star Trek TNG.
