roughing it
My high-speed internet connection is down, my TV doesn't pick up any stations and the weather looks beautiful outside. I suppose that Frances is kicking me from far away, which is fine by my standards. I prefer collateral damage over having the roof blow off my house. I still have dial-up that works and I don't watch much TV anyway.
Check out the carnival of the recipes. I may try to make a "Toad in the Hole" one of these days.
And my boiled peanut recipe is in there.
One word of caution about that Toad in Hole recipe...the version he quotes has gone all PC with that oil he specifies! Yorkshire Pudding, properly made, has suet for the fat, not some damn oil. If you want the genuine thing, you use half butter / half rendered suet. Much better flavor, and, if you've a bit of the drippins from the sausage, even better !!
Well, we all fucked up those landfall predictions, didn/'t we?
