I liked biscuits and gravy. I think if it's made well ( make sure the white sauce picks up all the flavour from cooking sausage ) then it can be good.
Now grits... I really can't get on with that!
When you eat the grits you should use some maple syrup mixed in with them. They are very good that way.
Echo, try making the pancakes from scratch with flour and buttermilk. They are very easy to make and are very good. I can't remember the last time I used a mix, hmmm, maybe never.

Sounds delicious! Anyone have a recipe for me to try?
(Oh... American pancackes are good with jam, jelly, or perserves, too!)
They are also good with blueberries or fried apples.

And the only thing to eat if you're suffering a hangover. The best cure ever, lie flat on your back on the floor and eat pizza. And hope you won't fall off the carpet.
Isn't it a terrible feeling when you are holding on for dear life and the room is spinning like crazy.

I would like to see Hilda and Daniel get together.

You are correct stating that he was very good in Six Feet Under which was a heck of a good show and in which the final episode was one of the best shows that I have seen.
Back to Ugly Betty, I think (hope) they are just trying to get people's attention by generating some new interests in the show.
-
I rather prefer Ugly Betty's sister.
The sandwich guy was not in the last episode.
-
I think it's so cute Mark, of all people, is sort of a father figure to Justin now Santos is gone, and Ignacio is still in Mexico.
Yep, you sure are an episode behind. Wonder, shall I not even post spoilers as I don't want to ruin it for y'all. It comes on tomorrow night in the U.S.
-
And what about the possible
new love in Ugly Betty's life, the guy that had the sandwhich cart.
-
Ok, somebody tell me what's so great about this show and when is it on? I know there's a girl named America who stars, right? That's about it:D
I see that you are in Boston, so......the show is on ABC on Thursday nights at 8:00pm. Watch an episode or two and determine for yourself if you like it.
-
And, is there going to be a new "person" in someone's life. Last night's episode makes one think so.
-
I bought a bottle of the Triventa "Malbec" red wine today. Hope to have it with dinner soon.
-
The program is on tonight here in the U.S. And, immediately following Ugly Betty we get to watch Grey's Anatomy. Tonight is a good night for TV.
Yes, I watch every episode of Ugly Betty. It is a good program.
-
Thanks for the tips! I have seen some recipes that call for buttermilk, what do you think of that?
I actually always use Buttermilk except when I use the Vanilla Soy Milk.............Never use the regular milk if Buttermilk is available.

Made from scratch! here is the recipe! Here it is :-)
Serve these pancakes with butter and syrup OR BOTH!
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
PREPARATION:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk; add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. Cook on a hot, greased griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until brown on one side and around edge; turn and brown the other side. Recipe for pancakes serves 4.
:-)
As a variation of your recipe try it using 13/4 cups all purpose flour and 1/4 cup of cornmeal. BTW, I hope that your maple syrup was "pure" maple syrup, nothing better on pancakes.
Another variation, try using Vanilla Soy Milk instead of regular milk sometime. My OH loves them that way and, actually, so do I.

It is no secret that one of my favorite authors is James Lee Burke. I recently made a post on JLB's book forum and received a reply by JLB. :

I have finished reading both Jesus Out To Sea and Tin Roof Blowdown. My expectations were high for both books and I was not dissapointed, excellent reading. My only problem was with Tin Roof Blowdown, I was furious with what happened in N.O. during hurricane Katrina and the lack of response by our Government. After reading Tin Roof I was even more upset. Thank you JLB for giving us great writing.
Jesus Out To Sea was also great reading. I thoroughly enjoyed all the stories and especially the Johnny Ace one. I could relate very well to it and one of my favorite songs is still, to this day, Pledging My Love.

Thanks, Muggle and Panjandrum for the kind words. "Johnny Ace" is one of my favorite stories in the collection as well. I hope one day to see it adapted for the screen.
Best,
Jim

My OH always uses noodles in her chicken soup. I guess that is why it is called "chicken & noodle" soup.....and it is very good.
-
I bet that's a heck of a lot of posts to get through!
Your cookie was very nice, thank you!
Darn, I didn't get a cookie.
Welcome back GPH.
-
Oh well, perhaps you need to rectify that............. ;-)
perhaps the reason I don't remember is that I may have had too much of the wine.
-
I have only tried their red wine and even then it has been so long ago that I don't remember which one or how much I enjoyed it. Guess that isn't much of a help.

James Lee Burke has written 16 books with Dave Robicheaux as the main character. The books keep getting better and better. The stories take place in Southern Louisiana (New Iberia and New Orleans). Robicheaux is a very complex guy and the stories are hard hitting. I enjoy his writing as much as any living writer.
My point is this is one series that not only has not lost its lustre, but has got better.

No Unfortunately - no idea! I would have to taste both the Chardonnay and the Sauvignon to be sure ;-)
Ok so it does exist - I was not imagining it - good to know. Have to persist in looking for it!
Access the site, click on 120, then check out the wines listed in the right side column.

Lately I tasted a lovely white wine from Chile I believe (I prefer red - but loved this one) called something Santa Rita. Unfortunately drank too much to remember the exact name!(we were at a farewell of a collegue) Tried looking for it at a couple of shops - no luck yet! Any one has an idea what I'm talking about?
Santa Rita makes a number of white wines in addition to their reds whcih are pretty good. Any idea on which type it was....
.....a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or some other white varietal. -
Many years ago I was a fan of the James Bond films and the books of Ian fleming. I had a paperback collection of every book in the James Bond series. Eventually I gave them to the library. I enjoyed them at the time but would not be interested in reading them nowadays.............time marches on.

Millions aree condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Nobodyh knows how many rebellions, besdides political rebellions, ferment in the masses of life which people earth. Women are supposed to be veryt calm generally; but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrowminded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playingon the piano and embroidering bags.

Ugly Betty is on tonight. Watched a preview last night and it appears like the sandwich guy is back in the show.
Btw, there is a new show called Private Practice that is excellent with great stories.
