madaboutmoose's Journal, 07 February 2010

Tis early this Sunday morning. After a very good night's sleep on Friday I'm sad to report that last night was fitful at best. Oh well. It happens. The coffee is perked and soon I'll be making hubby some sausage gravy per his request, which he will spoon over hash browns for breakfast. Not sure yet what I'll eat ... I haven't decided yet. But NOT that. We have to run to town today for a few things. We need oil for the generator and since we have to do that I might as well pick up a few things at the market and get rid of some garbage.

Well I hear hubby coming down the stairs so I better go. Have a good day ... enjoy your celebrations.

Five things I am grateful for today ...

1. starry skies
2. toe nails painted red (Valentine's Day comin' up ya know)
3. laughing at Robin William's antics
4. delicious dinner last night of stuffed sole
5. only working 4 days this coming week ... Friday off to take my mom to the airport!!

As usual your 5 are great and the stuffed sole has given me a dinner idea. Enjoy your trip into town. Great wife cooking that for your husband and not having any.

I've seen biscuits and gravy on TV, but no, never had them. Don't know of anywhere that would serve them either. LOL Sorry!!!!

I've never had that neither...and I can't figure out how you use the sausage to make gravy. I thought gravy was a kind if sauce...anyways, I read you need oil for the generator, did you serviced it yourself? hope everything is allright with it, no more strange noise. Have a good day!

lol, This is an interesting conversation. I believe biscuits and gravy is most common in certain parts of the South, and that there are probably more than a few Americans who are either not or only vaguely familiar with it. I was first exposed to it in a college dormitory and am not at all surprised that Sarah and jessy have never heard of it at all.

I did not grow up in the "south" ... unless of course California counts as the south??? For those of you who have not had the calorie laden pleasure of biscuits and gravy ... one crumbles and cooks up the sausage (and yes turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage counts). The "gravy" is "white" gravy ... flour based, and you mix in the cooked sausage. Traditionally it is served over biscuits but my hubby prefers it over hashbrown potatoes ... it is quite delicious!!! It is also great over scrambled eggs!!

I love painted toenails! Sorry you didn't sleep too well last night; hope tonight is more restful for you.

Well, my dear, at a certain point in your life you may have come into contact with some of that "Southern Hospitality." ;-)

We eat biscuits and gravy here in the Midwest. Should we mention red eye gravy -- which is essentially meat grease? Eeeeeek! We also paint our toes red from time to time! He-he-he-he-he! Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday!

ya know ... lots of southerners migrated to California ... my great-grandmother did so from Texas in a covered wagon!!

Now, red eye gravy is a new one to me!!!

LOL, There you are! I did say "most common in certain parts of the South." These days everyone eats foods from all over. Who knows, these things probably originated in Hungary or Poland (or somewhere in the Old World anyway). Texas is more "Lone Star," but still pretty much in the area. :-)

My dad used to eat biscuits and gravy. I must have had it, too, just don't remember. I remember his gravy was dark because he used so much black pepper in it. Enjoy your red toes, hot stuff! :)
