    Catch up with the latest on celebrities

    Britney Spears has no validity as a performer. If she did, she'd never have made 'If You Seek Amy'. And she wouldn't be blabbing on stage with her mic on, about her pussy hanging out. Her studio voices her over a few tracks with some decent catchy beats... that's about all.

    Pancakes for breakfast....or whatever

    I like dark corn syrup on my pancakes. I hate when my syrup soaks into the pancake. Maple syrup tastes good, but, it soaks in, which irrationally angers me. lol

    Leftover Recipes

    speaking of leftovers.... I've started scrubbing all veggies before they go into the fridge, so, veggie tailings, peels, etc., all go into my pail in the freezer for making stock later, along with chicken bones (so long as the meat was trimmed off BEFORE it hit a plate and got gnawed on or...

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    We have ways of dealing with small Christmas gatherings and big tortiere recipes. Make just enough individual tarts to feed the people coming, and then make meatballs with the remaining meat mixture and freeze those (since we don't use veggies of any sort in our tortiere). They make nice...

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    Tourtiere was historically the 'rich' dish that our families ate at Christmas. The spices, pastry, and pork needed to make it were a luxury. It wasn't that it was no good at other times, just that it was outside of the budget. Christmas was when people would spoil themselves.

    Plumb tasteless!

    There may be less bread yes, but there are more calories and carbs in one large tortilla than two slices of bread. If you care about that sort of thing.

    Plumb tasteless!

    Sorry... I'll be more than happy to make some when you come over, or accept plane tickets to come make some at your house, but I don't think unsalted pork products ship well. lol.

    Plumb tasteless!

    I can think of many many flavorful dishes that are local. Smoked salmon comes readily to mind. VERY flavorful, but I doubt the Colonel bothered with it. Moose steak. Can't deny that's got loads of flavor. Perch fresh caught.... MMMmmmm.... very tasty. And I challenge ANYone to eat a slice...
