What's for supper tonight?

The best egg salad sandwich I've ever eaten by 10 freakin' miles, courtesy of the obit lady, in her 60s. It was so damn good.

She said she uses a touch of vinegar to smooth out the mayo because she doesn't like her mayo lumpy (which reminded me of the Humpty Dance oatmeal lyric). But anyhoo, it was the best sandwich I've eaten in quite some time.

And a handful or four of Triscuit Thin Crisps parmesan garlic flava. And water.

 

I made lasagna.

 

you make your own lasagna, oz?

 

Negative. Nothing goes on the Mexican or spaghetti.

 

k - taking a chili baseline.

 

that's what I'm cookin up tonight, tbf. over the years have perfected a taste-alike of cracker barrel. it takes hours, but is well worth it. one of mrs. jps' favorites.

 

They never got thick enough last night. Had to add some flour to get them to thicken up at all. I think too much chicken fat in the stock kept hindered it some.

As far as the recipe, I'm pretty basic with mine. I don't add anything but salt and pepper. And a side of cornbread.

 

and, yeah, tbf ... chill with the chili. a little scary that tommy and I agree on so many things ... least many of them are food-related things.

if anything, the perfect cold-weather lunch for quick-and-easy is the perfectly grilled grilled cheese (potato bread actually works awesome and grills golden evenly better than most, for a little tip) and tomato soup, made with milk. if you must, you can dip. some people are just dippers ... and this is a time where it is acceptable, though not on every bite and not necessarily recommended.

 

flat dumplings or airy? mom used to make the drop dumplings and they were airy as hell. loved them at the time, but this was before I truly appreciated the flat dumplings.

I've got my recipe at the house ... might post it later, though my computer at home is once again not working with the power jack plug-in. thought it had miraculously cured itself ... instead seems it was just a last-gasp thing.

 

Flat

 

atta boy.

 

Ground turkey, black bean liar liar pants on fire hot chili for the debate, with cornmeal muffins. Tequila shots optional.
