GRAVY..... SAUCE ..... I just read recently in an article that the older Italians called it Gravy but the younger generations call it sauce.


I tryed Donnie but no luck -error comes up & in trying I saw a name I thought I knew John & Rochell BBQ (same site ) and talk about a small small world there at this BBQ is Donnie !!

Patsy,
I agree with you that that oatmeal breakfast--left overnight in the fridge--is the best breakfast there is. I make mine with skim milk, not soy.

SORRY DONT KNOW HOW MY MESSAGE POPED TWICE

Ahh, when pasta was spaghetti...

I think after we make the gravy we should hit the "sauce"!!! LOL

Tom, I found some old pics of her, it's hard to believe that was over 25 years ago.

Tom, I can't believe how much she loved those horror movies. She'd wake me at 3 in the morning to go downstairs with her, and I did!!! Only to get scared to death!!!

Judy - Roasted Peppers - 3 or 4 RED Bell peppers put into a pyrex dish and rub peppers with olive oil just to coat. Around 8 inches from the broiler around 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Let them char black all around. Then put peppers into a large enough bowl to fit them and put saran wrap over them and let them cool for about 20 minutes where you can handle them without burning yourself. Have another bowl ready to throw the good part of the peppers in. Not the skin or seeds. The skin should peel off easily. Leave all the other stuff in the old bowl. When you have all the clean peppers in the bowl, get a fine strainer and take he natural oil from the peppers and strain into the clean peppers. Add garlic (what ever you like) parsley (italian) and one teaspoon of apple cider vineger. Put in refrigerator overnight. Enjoy!

Judy - You can also go to capital news 9 Dan Eaton and scroll down his menus and you will be able to view his video on this.

Judy ....congratulations....now we have to work on the men to get their pic on here .... :P

Ahem... Is my picture chopped liver? By the way, I call it "Sauce" but all my Italian friends have always called it "Gravy". :?: :?: :?:

I am not really annoyed. My Giants just won so everything is gooooood!!

Subject: Recipies

With all the recipies I am reading on here I am reminded of a depression sandwich which we ate:

Take two slices of bread. Cover with butter (if you have any) and then spread ketchup or mustard on the bread. Smash the two slices together and cut it in half. (Monja. That is as good as my italian gets.) We had those sandwiches many times. As well as a Campbell Beans sandwich. Follow instructions above but put campbells beans (Hot or Cold) on the bread instead of the ketchup or mustard! End of cooking lesson :? :? :?

WARREN, I LOVE YOUR PIX. BUT MORE THAN THAT, I LOVE YOUR STORIES. WHEN I WAS YOINGER, I HAD A FRIEND WHO ATE CARO SYRUP ON BREAD. I NEVER TRIED IT MYSELF, BUT HE LOVED IT. ALSO, WE ARE BIG GIANTS FANS TOO. MY SON WAS GOING APE S---T WHEN THEY WERE LOSING, AND THAN EVEN NUTTIER WHEN THEY WON TONIGHT. I WILL WEAR MY GIANTS SHIRT TO WORK TOMORROW. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT

BY THE WAY, I ALWAYS CALLED IT GRAVY EVEN UNTIL TODAY

Terry,

You, MIldred and myself are the only ones that agree it's Gravy, quess we are old timers in here lol, younger crowd calls it Sauce.

When I think of sauce, Blonds and Ragu comes to mind, yikes lmao.

I really tried to post a gravy train on here lol.

Ok, I stirred up enough Gravy for one day, happy to see everyone has a sense of humor, constructive points even with posted pictures, to funny. ^5 people, nite all.

Carol,
Hi. I use the old fashioned oats, not the quick-cooking ones. The old fashioned oats take longer to break down in your digestive system keeping you fuller longer. In a plastic container (bowl size) put about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of oats, cover generously with milk and add anything you want. Some suggestions: raisins, dried cranberries or cherries, nuts, especially walnuts, grapes, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, chopped apple, blueberry, bananas (put in in the morning), even mix in a little yogurt. It really is delicious and, as I said, keeps you full for quite a while, provides low fat and low calorie nutrition and lots of fiber. I also put a packet of Equal in to sweeten without adding extra sugar. Dried fruit is high in sugar so use it sparingly or not at all. This concocotion is roughly equivalent to the European "muesli." Leave it in the refrigerator until morning. It's easy to take to work, doesn't have to be heated up, and will tide you over until lunch.

How's everything else? Maybe when Janet comes up in February we will meet again for dinner. I had so much fun the night you were her with Mildred. Say hi to Albert/Elliott.

Hey Ralph ..I did it for you

but I hope this isnt what you mean....cause if it is ...Id stick with the Ragu! LOL

p.s. I only use Pastene ....hey, we gotta laugh...this world is so sad right now...

nite Ralph
