In skillet brown 4 pieces of Bacon, drain all but two tablespoons of grease (Very important resist eating bacon) crumble up the 4 pieces of Bacon and put back in, I only used 3 as I ate 1 piece, HEY I was hungry. Next start with 1/8 cup flour 1/2 cup milk and add to grease and start mixing. I like my gravy some what creamy so I wound up with about maybe 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups milk to 1/4 flour salt pepper to taste and enjoy.

Can't be more accurate than that as you mix it the way you like it but it gives you a start. You can sub sausage and or hamburger for the Bacon but I wanted Bacon.

Hoi there,

Your timing was good just had a feed of bacon and perogies. Seasoning not needed tonight, but maple curry perogies are very nice.

Take care

Khalee..go onto E-bay, search for church cookbooks, and find out why I peruse the category...most can be had for $5 or less, great recipes (especially the older books) and are easy to do..I especially like Lutheran cookbooks, but we are big on potlucks (always carry a fork to church, a potluck might break out)

Sounds like a good recipe, not hard to make, and very tasty. That's the way to go about it.

I do all the cooking, but I'm not Emerril or Mario, but you can learn to adapt thier recipes to what you can do...I do like Alton Brown, he tends to be more down to earth, tho' he can get a little crazy...

Trying to figure out my scanner, when I do, I'll post some of my recipes (got a great one for lumpia (Phillippino deep fried meat/vegetable rolls that my wife got from our housegirl when station in the Phillippines).

But, since it's corn season:

Crustless Corn Quiche

3 eggs
1 cup whole milk or half- and- half
4 Tbl melted butter
2 cups fresh corn kernals (or 16 oz frozen)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
a pinch of cayenne (to taste)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 pound of Vermont Chedder Cheese, thinly sliced
2 Tbl grated parmesan cheese

1. Beat together eggs, milk and butter. Stir in corn, salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg.

2. Place half the mixture in a buttered pan or 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Spread with chedder cheese, top with remaining corn mixture, and sprikle with parmsan cheese. Bake @ 325 for approximately 45 minutes, or until set.

Let stand a few minutes before cutting.

Serves 6 adults, or 2 teenagers.

Good luck,

Mike

Livermush is a product sold in NC. It contains liver, cornmeal, and spices. Its good fried, as for breakfast, or on a sandwich. Its precooked so you can eat it right out of the package.

I have a recipe to make your own. I'll find it and post it.

You know, I always just Eye Balled Gravy. Using the Simple Batter Recipe in the Chicken Fry thread, I usually just leave all the Grease still in the pan, turn off the heat, and add the Flour Mixture. Throw in some Milk... andstart Stirring.

I have to admit though, there is a Knack for making good gravy. My wife is an Excellent cook, but It took me about 2 years to show her how to make Gravy. Oh and Don't have milk? then use Coffee. It makes a great Gravy also.

Will, We need to get that Cook book done.

Her is a basic livermush recipe. Some people add peppers and such, but this is the start.

LIVERMUSH

1 hogs liver
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2-1 C cornmeal
2 Tbs. Sage
Salt to taste
Ground red pepper (optional)

Cut up the liver, wash it well and remove the skin. Boil until tender in salted water. Remove and run through a colander until fine, or mash well. Mix the meat with 1 cup of the broth it was cooked in. Bring to a boil slowly, stirring in sifted corn-meal until thick. Also stir in salt to taste, black pepper, sage and a little red pepper if desired. Pour into a mold and let sit until cold. Slice and eat it as a sandwich meat or fry for breakfast with gravy.

Coffee gravy in the South is called Red Eye Gravy.

I agree bro. Im finding and sorting my recipes now. I have ALOT.

Shadow i think Yankees call it scrapple?
But I'm not sure its the same thing.

PS i would love to own a cookbook with all of your family's good old southern recipes.
I was raised on it, and it is the food of the Gods to me.

Please keep me posted on it.

Grand Master of Shadows NCC37385 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 21, 2004, 11:02:05 pm »

Sure, no problem.

Scrapple is different. As the name implies, it is the scraps left over from butchering a hog.

Thanks, my friend. I'm often reminded of a certain 80's song about not breakin' my stride, not letting it get me down...etc. Can't remember it at the moment.

Dang, I want to go to SF but I don't have the money. Manuel's got a bottle of Absynthe.

I'm not sure...haven't seen it yet. He brews his own beer (damn good dark ales) and a buddy traded him the bottle for a twelve pack of the beer (his buddy loves the beer).

It's unopened and still in the original box...from France.

I'm trying not to think of it too much...

I have a friend here in Ok who has some Wyrm wood, and In the Future has offered me some. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a drug user at all, Only tried Mary Jane once, But ever since I saw the Original recipe for Oysters rockefeller, and It called for Absynthe, I wantedto try It.

Chocolate Gravy

Mix the cocoa, flour, and the sugar in a pot with a fork or whisk until well blended. Add all of the other ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring .constantly, over medium heat. Continue cooking until the gravy is the desired thickness. Serve hot over biscuits with lots of butter.

I think you forgot the final step in the recipie where you call 9-1-1 and tell them to hurry up since you are going to need a difribulator.

Shadow's recipe (thanks bud) is the same as my grandmother uses. YUM. In fact...I think I want to fix some!

Absinthe is great. I've had it before, in Paris, and loved it, but it is very easy to overdue it too much.

As for illegal...well, it was ordered and went through customs

Oh wait, that's right...it wasn't declared when the guy brought it back from france. He had six bottles of it and none of them were searched.
