Give a man a loaf of bread and he will go to bed thirsty. Give a man a fishing pole and he will ... beat you with it, leave you for dead & make off with the pole, your truck, your dog & your woman. Is that the way it goes??

Let's see, recipes... Gino', Tudor's, Subway, and a new recipe to open tomorrow at 11am on Main Street in Clay. "The Kitchen." Anyone know Greta Brown? She's the chief cook and recipe person. Spent all day today making desserts and stuff for tomorrow. Can't wait to try Greta's recipes. If you know her, then you know she is great in the kitchen. Yum Yum.
Ah....those places won't deliver to where I live. : (
LOL Gotcha covered, brulz. You gotta happy trigger finger this evening or what?? LOL
I'm hoping that you're really wanting recipes posted here. LOL If so, I have several to share. :P
Here's a yummy one that I found a few years back and use every time I make mashed potatoes. It's extremely simple and they're so good that you can't sit still to eat 'em. LOL
The Best Mashed Potatoes EVER
10 or 12 medium potatoes-cooked, drained and mashed
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese
1 stick margarine
Beat all ingredients together and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Reheat in oven or microwave when ready to serve.
Isn't "snarl" onomatopoeia, SB? hehehe :P

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained

1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Combine cream cheese, pineapple, cherries, green pepper and onion in bowl; mix well. Chill in refrigerator. Shape into 2 balls. Roll in pecans to coat.
Throw at Southern Boy. lol
LOL Like it matters what I post, SB? It's a free-for-all regardless. I just figured I'd at least get something useful out of it this time. Thanks, Smiley!
Keep 'em comin' amidst the bitchin & snarlin. Just don't talk with your mouths full. That's disgusting.
Snarl could be an ono if you do it right. So could burrrrrp {'scuse me}.

Here's another of my favorites should anyone be interested in trying it out. It's heavenly. :)

1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 (6 ounce) ready-to-fill chocolate flavored crumb crust

3/4 cup (5 ounces) individually wrapped caramels (17 squares), unwrapped
1/4 cup canned evaporated milk (not condensed)
Truffle Layer:
1 1/2 cups (9 ounce) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 Tablespoons stick butter

Sweetened whipping cream

Truffle Layer: heat chocolate chips, cream and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat or in a bowl in microwave, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Pour over caramel layer and refrigerate about 4 hours until set.
To serve, pipe or spoon on whipped cream.
Your Welcome, southern boy. Love your sense of humor. Have good day.
Smiley, I have made the Truffle Pie before. It's totally coma inducing!! Oh my gosh talk about sweet! Pretty darn good though!
I'm going to try the potato recipe.Thanks! I have a hard time getting those to come out right with just milk and butter. Not as bad as my sister though who made some potatoes and gravy to go with some fried chicken once. The gravy was way thicker than the potatoes were. That was so wrong!
I see Murder Mountain is in the news again. Funny how so much crime goes on up there, but no one ever does anything. "Wasn't me!"
Yes, the truffle pie is really sweet and oh-so-goood. It's something that ya' have to enjoy in small portions, but that just makes it last longer. LOL
You'll not regret trying the mashed potato recipe. I could live off of mashed potatoes alone and that honestly is the best recipe that I've ever found. They're GREAT with some homemade gravy over them, too. The cream cheese and sour cream makes the mashed potatoes the perfect consistency and adds a little extra "kick" to them, without really changing the flavor. It also makes them really white and fluffy. You'll have "pretty" mashed potatoes. LOL
I'll never forget when I was trying to learn to make gravy...on my own. LOL Every time, I'd end up with gravy that you could slice until my step-brother stepped in and showed me the proper (and easy) way to make it. haha

I'm in a recipe sharing mood today. Here's another. This is exactly like warm pumpkin pie without the crust. :)
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Pudding
15 ounce can solid pack pumpkin
12 ounce can evaporated milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk baking mix
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1 Tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons vanilla
whipped cream
Mix together all ingredients except whipped. Pour into greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low 6-7 hours, or until thermometer reads 160 degrees. Serve in bowls topped with whipped cream.
I've made a homemade version of the chicken casserole before, using chicken breast strips that I'd browned in a skillet and buttered bread crumbs in the place of the stuffing. I'd bake it in the oven at 350 until the bread crumbs were nice and brown. It used to be a family favorite, but I haven't fixed it in a good while. Maybe I'll do that over the weekend and try out this easier recipe. LOL
Simple Cornbread
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/4 granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
Mix all ingredients until well blended. Pour into greased 8 x 8 square pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until a light golden color. Knife inserted in center will come out clean.
SB, that's exactly what it is...sweet suicide!! :P LOL
How can I get to Links website to check out the hot rolls recipe? Thanks.

Another example of fine literature you have there, Mother Goose! LOL You are a Master Poet! :)
For the record...Smurfette annoyed me too. LOL
LOL!
I hate it when y'all remove your own posts. Then I've gotta go back through my email to see who said what & why they saw fit to unsay it. BAHAHAHAHAHA
I knew I shouldn't have worked today! What a busy place this has been! I've printed out all the recipes & I'm trying them all. Well, most of them. teeheehee
I've still got ramps in my freezer from ... 3 years ago? It was an experiment to see how long vacuum packing would keep stuff fresh. Unfortunately, even after 3 years, they're still fresh & green & crisp-looking. Bring on the taters & eggs, I reckon!
If you want something new for chicken: Put it in a skillet with water and bake until 1/2 done. Then add a bottle of Italian Dressing and finishing baking. It makes a wonderful sweet/sour chicken.
MPs got tracking cookies on her site that's messing with my computer. Shows up on when I run my adware nuker. "trafficmp" & "tripod". Wasn't there before her site, was there after.
Went to the water site first, then the link to the campaign. Nice site. Uncluttered. She's got no Mission or Issues. Simple. Like her.
Sorry about that, Rose. I wrote and posted it. Then after rethinking what I'd said and what direction that could lead a conversation into, I decided to get rid of it. LOL See..it wasn't that bad, was it?? hehe
Here's a few more recipes for anyone that's interested. (All of the ones I've posted are ones that I've actually tried and used more than once....so I know they're good. LOL) Seems like I have an awful lot of "sweet" recipes. :P

Anon, MP might have a counter on her website or she might be using software that's tracking you. (Most of us bloggers use Statcounter as our hit counter, though & that's what it shows up as in your cookies.) They don't mess with your computer at all, though. Block the cookie & see if that helps. Go to Internet Properties, Privacy, Edit. Copy & paste the website & choose "Block." That should make you "invisible" to that site.

Here's a favorite with my kids:
1 can Sprite
1 splash orange juice
1 shot grenadine
Pour the Sprite into an ice-filled glass, splash in the OJ, splash in the grenadine, enjoy!
Hint: Adding a healthy shot of rum and/or tequila will make you sing Jimmy Buffet songs better than The Great One himself.
Link's school cook recipes can be found at www.voteforabetterclaycounty.com. Incidentally, he's got them all compiled in a great little booklet. Ask nicely & I bet he'll send you one!
I always wondered how come it was your kids were such great singers!

Just don't ever ask why they take all their clothes off when they hear Bob Seger.
Or why they go for the dog food when Chicago comes on the radio.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
Just continue to keep me on the "need to know" basis. That's been working just fine!
LMAO, Rose!
teeheehee Bob Seger came through Charleston on his "Farewell Tour" in 1996, when I was about 17 months pregnant. There's a reason nobody would take me to the concert.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
