Hi Junior.

Hey Wally!!

 

[W@LL-E]

"Loose hamburger" (Hamburger and macaroni together) and broccoli. Maybe a skinny cow for dessert.

Sounds interesting...

Dinner is almost ready! Later I have to make some pumpkin cookies.

I'll take 2 dozens please, and maybe a few for Terrie too

Fish Extender Update!

We have officially exceeded the number of participants on the 2010 SS Member Cruise!

 

[Hoosier John]

We also have a local restaurant that is also a brewery and they make a pumpkin beer. They garnish the glass with crushed pumpkin seeds and brown sugar and it is to die for! We went last week and the beer was not ready yet so I guess George will just have to take me this Sunday!

I have a friend who makes his own beer and even grows his own hops. One year about this time he brewed a Pumpkin Ale. When it was ready he started drinking it and having weird, psychedelic dreams at night. He ended up dumping it out - about 4 gallons. The rest of us called dumping the batch alcohol abuse, but then again we weren't having his dreams.

Jim and I were married in Hawaii in 2006. We honeymooned on a 7 night Hawaiaan Cruise through NCL (Freestyle). We had an awesome time, however, I did not really like the freestyle cruising. We were on the Pride of Aloha!! Very cool and had a blast. Visited 4 islands.

Oh, my! No, I forgot.

I'm on it:

Take a pound of ground beef, season it with onion powder, garlic powder and pepper, and brown it. Add enough ketchup to make it fairly reddish. Cook that a few minutes and add enough water to almost have it covered. Take a half box (8oz. dry) of macaroni cooked al dente, and add that to the ground beef/ketchup. Cover and cook down until the water is gone. Simple, easy, and pretty tasty for a very quick meal. The 2 secrets are adding water to the cooked beef/ketchup and covering it after adding the macaroni to let it cook down. Your milage may vary, depending upon hammer speed and seasonings you prefer.

The stuff my wife used to make trying to replicate her mother's recipe SUCKED very much badly! This is surprisingly tasty. And all I had to do was ask. Took me about 34 years to do that though!

Thanks for the recipe...might make it sometime.

That's a cooking term that I've never heard before . . .

I use that term all the time.

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup

1/2 lb. bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
4 cups milk
3/4 pound grated white cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Salt, and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup warm beer
chopped scallions or chives, for garnish

1. In a 4- or 5-quart Dutch oven, cook the bacon, stirring over medium heat about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

2. Add the red onion, celery, and butter, and saute until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the milk and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil after you add the milk.

5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, Tabasco, Worcestershire, slat and pepper until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth. Stir in warm beer. If the soup is too thick, add some warm milk.

6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped scallions or chives.

Personal note: Use a really nicely aged cheddar and a good beer.
