Just typically stick it in the oven and pull it out an hour or so later.... Totally agree! I just cook the same as my Mum did. I have a small one man oven and put everything in the same tray. As long as you allow everything to get to room temperature before cooking and know "how your oven cooks" I have never felt the need for gadgets..

Evil Penevil Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast the other day. It's been an American staple since the 1700's, the quintessential poor man's breakfast. Biscuits and gravy is quick and easy to make, but most important, cheap and very filling. In years past, when workers did hard physical labor for long hours on farms and in factories, a plate or two of biscuits and gravy would see them through most of the day. Nowadays it's eaten because people like the taste, but some still have it out of economic necessity. I seldom have it because it's high in calories and not very nutritious. but it's OK once in a while, especially during cold weather. My father grew up in a large family on a ranch in Montana, He said he and his seven siblings always knew when money was especially tight by the number of times they had biscuits and gravy for another meal besides breakfast. I made the biscuits and gravy in the pic in traditional style. I fried pork sausage in bacon grease, sprinkled the sausage with flour, added milk and let it simmer a few minutes to thicken. The gravy was then poured over a southern-style biscuit. Evil 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 An early fall lunch: a slice of hickory-smoked ham with avocado, slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, heirloom tomatoes, potato salad and coleslaw. One good thing about being back in the U.S. is easy access to quality meat and vegetables at a reasonable price. I never understood why no one grows good tomatoes in Thailand. The climate would seem perfect for tomato cultivation. Evil 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for £2.32 of Aberdeen Angus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who would eat B&G a few times a week. A few of us would often meet for breakfast and this guy would always want to meet a this certain place that made good "down home" B&G, nobody else cared so that's where we would meet. This fellow was a rather large bloke. One day he was scarfing down his usual double order of B&G and a big glob of gravy landed on his uniform, but he couldn't see it because his double chin blocked his view. Myself and the other two guys who were "dinning" with him that day just looked at each other and smiled. Nothing was said. He went around doing his business for most of the day without ever noticing. Eventually some girl at the station shyly pointed it out to him. Myself and the two other guys that were with him that day still laugh about that from time to time. Although, it's kind of bittersweet. Our buddy who loved those double orders of B&G dropped dead with a massive heart attack a couple years ago. We miss him.
