I didn't know they were the same until Alton Brown did a show about it. Same grain, way different cooking methods.

Hi Sharron Are you enjoying your Florida December?

yes ma'am, always

How do you make your tomato gravy?

just take tomato's chopped up in a frying pan, add some grease from either the white meat drippings or bacon drippings, salt to taste, cook down until thick oh, can use fried ham too, i usually use two or three tablespoons, you can try different amounts of the grease til you get the way you like it
should also say, skinless tomato's, even store bought tomato's

Good morning, All.

Hi Sour! Do you have another day of hard labor in the kitchen making cookies?

As soon as the Princess faces daylight we will start our final day of cookie making.

Better have another cup of coffee, brace yourself!

Then you get the reward of having a couple of cookies when you're done, right?

I haven't started my baking either but, it will go a lot faster since my son did all the dishes, pots and pans, utensils cluttering up sinks and countertops.
