Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[BReeder!]

Leftovers: ribs and chicken noodle soup.

The soup is almost gone. Wife hit the ribs pretty hard at lunch apparently so those will be nearly gone after dinner too. I left a 5-6 inch piece of rib tips for lunch tomorrow just.

My sweetie made quiche today. Crust from freshly ground wheat berries, eggs (kept a few away from the neighbors) smoked salmon - cause that’s the meat we had on hand, fresh chives from the garden and I’m not sure what else. Looking forward to dinner. He is such a good cook.

I make my gravy with flour usually. I cook it into a roux with melted fat from the meat or butter and then add the drippings and a bit of water as needed. I only pull out the corn starch if I fail to use enough flour in the roux to thicken the gravy properly. Corn starch dissolves and didnt clump as bad when added to the gravy. Another option is ladle some of the gravy into a bowl and whisk in the extra flour and then pur it back into the pot through a sieve.

Texture is different than if you do a flour verses a corn starch also if you do milk .. I like half n half higher flash point plus use it in my coffee but make good gravy

Last night was cajun/caribbean take out. They gave us a roll of TP in the bag, since there's been a shortage of that around here.
I had frog legs. DW had a gator po' boy. DS had gator nuggets. We also had a side of fried pickles - they put spears on a stick and batter like a corn dog. The food was delicious and all I had to do was call and drive 5 minutes.

They use deli pickles I think, more of a dill than a sweet. Tastes like Claussen's to me.
