broth from the roast would infuse the noodles with tons of flavor…I’m still in a carb coma from all the turkey dinner fixin’s but now my mouth is watering for roast beastie and noodles! Yummmmmmmmmmmy! Pies are my downfall…never can get the crust perfect, I can make it edible, flakey and a bit tasty – yes, but not just that picture perfect pie crust – that has eluded me for years no matter what I do – there is a definate talent to it. But a pecan or black raspberry pie – oh yeah, my favorites!!! Just watching Chopped…and Iron Chef (flippin’ back and forth between shows). Bobby Flay is cooking goose; or is it geese?
Yep, the sewing part wasn’t my favorite thing – all thumbs, but the cooking was a lot of fun. There was a semester of both each year when taking HomeEc. class when I was in school. We also got a crash course in making jewelry (my Home Ec. teacher was raised in the depression and WWII so she knew how to do it all! And we, (girls only in class back then), had to learn to change the oil and change a tire on a car – thank goodness for Triple A now-a-days!
I’m in Northern Cali – and it’s is ccccccccold tonight, 31 degrees! A 3-dog night for sure! Fireplace, heater, and fleece blankies all working over time. Good thing turkey in oven heated up house today!
I don’t have a lot of folks to cook for anymore but friends always like it when I do cook for them. I have cookbooks that are 30 years old and new ones too, but lately I think I should donate them to my favorite charity thrift store as they don’t get a lot of use anymore. I’d like to take some cooking classes. Learn some new exotic cooking as well as some of the great basics again too.
I always loved the cooking part of Home Economics in school, my HomeEc teacher could make anything from scratch. I’m not even sure if they have that kind of class in jr. and sr. high school anymore.
Not to degrade my Mother’s cooking, but she the world’s worst cook, she said the same thing, and also that she didn’t like cooking at all. She wasn’t the baking cookies after school type, my Mother thought cooking was opening up a can. So I’ve always gravitated towards any thing homemade, but my grandmother was the greatest cook with the little apron and good smells from the oven so the drive and enjoyment of cooking must have skipped a generation I guess. I think why I’m so interested in cooking shows.
sounding receipe a dear ol’ "Days" friend shared with me: Sounds yummy! I’d already had dinner made by the time she sent it to me but I’m going to try it for Christmas dinner!

all the drumsticks and stuffin’!!! MY beloved J&M? Even for a visit???!!!! If they do come back – I’m starting a letter writing campaign to get them back permanently! (Now off to do cartwheels – and if you knew how my poor little body is broken, arthritic and bent – you’d know how much of major a deal this is to me!!!) Yeah! Yippee! WhooooHooooooo!!!
resources to have his thugs or hire others to dredge the river for the gun. I still think he’s holding back with it. And if he isn’t Stefano will.
would we all be so blessed – not sure how many men like to match their wives outfits either…Doug is a secure man!
What you mentioned in your post – "Maybe he (Rafe) can be the one to finally make Sami grow up." Not to disagree or be argumentative Blondie-1 but that is exactly what my Mother used to say about my younger brother when he was about 23, and then at 25, 29, his 30’s, and all the time in his fourties, now in his mid-50’s – she still is delusional about him and says maybe he will find someone to make him grow up.
Many times I said to her: "Hello Mother! You have to be a grown up in the first place; no one can "make" a person into a grown-up. You can’t change a person." My mother was so desperate she even got this brother to hook up and marry someone who was the exact same child person (at 30) as my brother was. And apparently her mother wished the same thing for her daughter. A match made in hell if there ever was one (including Sami’s marriages), ever see two children fighting in a sandbox? My mother blamed her – of course – which is why I said my Mother is delusional. Three children later, all now have issues in their own young adult lives because their Mommy and Daddy weren’t grown up at 25 or 30 and never did become adults (the same pattern as Sami) because my Mother thought that some one else could make my brother grow up. Sami, girl/child that she is, while we all wish her (character) well, she is doomed to repeat the mistakes of her past.
Lesson is all of this? In marriage, do not be unequally yoked. Sami grow up on your own before expecting someone else to do it for you.
Rafe about 18 months – (I said this in another post already), but Sami will lie or do some thing that she always does (because it is….Sami). Rafe after saying a million times "awwwww, schucks, she’s just so darn cute." is eventually going to grow a man brain and want a real grown up woman instead of a perpetual child-girl.
Sami makes my teeth hurt to watch – and I’ve watched her a very long time, I just can’t anymore. It’s like watching a clock go around the dial, you know what it is going to do next.
