  1. A Quick Salo.  Watch the video .

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0D81k7tzBY/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng%3D%3D

     

    Ingredients:

     

    Pork Belly or Fatty Shoulder (boneless country ribs)- 1200 g

    Bay leaf - 3 pcs.

    Garlic - 1 head

    Salt - 1 TBS

    Black ground pepper - 1 tsp

     

     

    How to cook: 1. Garlic is cleaned and passed through the press. 2. Add salt, black ground pepper and broken bay leaf to minced garlic. Stirring things up just fine. 3. We cut the fat with pieces that will slip into the throat of the can. 4. Grease every piece of lettuce on all sides with a garlic marinade. Then put the fat tightly in the can. 5. Putting the can in a high pot. Ideal if the pot with the can can can be covered with a lid. Do not forget to put at the bottom of the pan a spoon or a piece of fabric so that the can does not crack. 6. Pour water into the pot so that the water level is higher than the fat in the can. Put the pan on the stove and cover the lid. 7. Cook fat on low heat for 3 hours. The water should boil but very weak. 8. We remove the finished fat from the can and remove the excess marinades. Store fat in the fridge in a hermetic container. The liquid in the can can can be leaked. It can be spread on sandwiches or added to other dishes. You can store the fat directly in the can along with the marinade at your wish.

  2. Made a Chicken Pot Pie for dinner.  Made up a box of Stove Top for the top crust, sauté some onions, celery, and carrots in a couple of TBS of butter, then, for the gravy in the pie, 

    Country Gravy Mix

    INGREDIENTS

    2 cups all purpose flour

    1 cup dry milk powder

    1/4 cup cornstarch

    1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper

    1 tbsp salt

    2 tsp onion powder

    1 tsp ground poultry seasoning

    DIRECTIONS

    Whisk all ingredients together until well incorporated.

    Store in an airtight jar for up to 6 months.

    To use: Melt 2 tablespoons of fat (butter, shortening, sausage fat, bacon fat) in a sauce pan, add 3 tablespoons of gravy mix, cook on medium-low heat for 3 minutes (making a roux), then pour in 1 cup water or milk. Whisk and cook until thickened.

     

    just the amount for 1 cup, and for the liquid made one cup of powdered milk at almost doubled strength, then added a bunch of chopped chicken leftover from Thursday, put the Stovetop on it and baked it in a moderate oven for half an hour.

     

    SWMBO didn't know how I made the gravy.  She said it was great, do it again.  Then I showed her the receipt, "This is a do again!" said she.

     

    My only issue with it was a slight sweetness that I hadn't expected.  Next time I use that mix I'll add a little soup base to it.

    That's her Seeing Eye Dog.  To go right, he moves his head to the right, and to the left to go left.  He pushes down with his head to tell her to slow down or stop, and pushes against the back of her head to go forward or speed up.

    Ummm, yeah…you live in a galaxy far, far away from mine.
     

    Seriously, I’m happy for you. :)

     

    Thank you.  Unfortunately my ex died suddenly back in September while she and her husband were on their annual 4 to 6 week vacation trip through America.

    In the second are you trying to say that is NOT the cast of of the original GOT? Next you will be claiming the number of the Holy Hand Grenade is not three, nay you will put forth that it is four! 
    Blasphemy sez I !!!

     

     

    Nay, Good Sir, Gentle Pard!  The Sacred Number being three, and three being the Sacred Number, the number of the count shall always be three when pertaining to things sacred, and three shall always, when referring to things sacred, be the number of the count, unless thou countest to the next Sacred Number, that being the number of Forty, The which should not be confused with our beloved Forty which being translated is also Furlong, which would for the Holy Hand Grenade be both silly and dangerous.
    Neither shall the count tarry at two, nor continue to four, unless thou then proceedest to the Sacred Number of Forty.

    I’m still stuck on the idea your wife and ex-wife alone in a car. I can’t wrap my head around that scenario in my world as a fatality would have occurred. :rolleyes:

     

    They would go shopping together, and occasionally go out to lunch.  The 3 of us would go square dancing together.  My ex and I also danced the rounds between tips.  When I needed a break the two of them would dance the tip with my ex as the left hand (man's) part.

     

    My ex and her husband would on a somewhat regular basis would treat us to dinner out.

    One year, the Year of the Perfect Tree, we got to the tree farm in two vehicles, I got there first in my pickup, my wife drove my ex and arrived about 2 minutes later.  She walked up to me and said, "I found the perfect tree!"  Mind, we hadn't even explored the trees, she saw it as she drove up.  She stood by it as I wandered to look over the others.  But she had "The Perfect Tree!"  And indeed it was.  About 10 feet, full, very symmetrical, gorgeous.  So we bought it.  Got it home, managed to get it into the stand.  We always let a tree "relax" a day before decorating it,  Half an hour later it fell over.  Got it back up, and it fell over again.  Put an eye-screw into the wall to tie it off.  It fell over.  
    When it fell over at 0300, I got a quarter sheet of plywood, mounted the stand on it with carriage bolts, put 3 cinderblocks on it.  Tree didn't fall over again.

    But LORDY!  was that tree gorgeous!
