Due to comfort food compliance regulations imposed by my wife I’m only allowed to use salt and pepper or, very rarely, curry powder, on pork chops. This one is just salt and pepper.

Any group is what the people make it. Post your stuff. Change the group.

A stereotypical American meal is “meat and potatoes” If either the meat or the potatoes are green, you die.

Yes he will. He is watching Jade helmet happen in real time and hasn’t figured out yet that he isn’t the hero he pretended to be. Honestly he should have had a heart attack when it was announced that FEMA money was being used to fund Alligator Alcatraz.

That’s not true. We are way fattier than pork.

User name checks out.

First 216 to 1. Then this. Trump is a lame duck just 10 months into his administration. He had all the power possible, took a lot more, and squandered it.

I’m both worried about you and excited about your idea.

Mice lie. Monkeys exaggerate. Ferrets are weasels.

I save all my canning beans days for when it’s winter and there is no humidity in the house. Fire up a few canners and steam the house while prepping beans for the coming year.

I used to do a potato leak soup all the time but my food desert makes leaks a very rare item.

I have gallons of stock on hand that I have canned myself. I do not believe in using it for when I will be discarding it, things like boiling pasta or potatoes in. It’s too valuable a resource to drain off even if it’s practically free.

I am 31 years clean from D&D but I’d be interested in any stats or backstory anyone comes up with.

It is definitely hard to look away from Mouse Guard. The art and scenes rope anyone in.

No latch for me. I may have seen my dad just once a month for about a year of middle school and then maybe twice a year the rest of the time. I needed 6000 calories a day on the cheap and this ‘snack’ offered 2400. It’s probably impossible to eat 2400 calories in sugared apples in a single setting. That’s probably 15 apples and half a cup of sugar. Or 25 apples with no sugar.

Tiger shading? Zebra Hatch? I just wanted something super bold and rolled with it even when I thought I was definitely making the wrong call.

I lived off bacon fat fried potatoes for a long time. I haven’t made them in decades. My after school snack used to be a pound of pasta and a stick of butter with salt and pepper. Haven’t made it since middle school.

I feel like I can feel the texture difference. I haven’t done a double blind test but I’ve always known and confirmed it in the past. Tomatoes are 94% water. That water expands when it freezes and rips apart the fine fibers that would normally stay intact but soften when cooked. It results in a mealy texture I’m not fond of.

And, as mentioned, I really don’t want stuff like this clogging up my freezer. I’ve had three refrigerator and freezer fails in the last 8 years. By canning things I make them shelf stable. No electricity required for storage. No waiting for things to thaw.

I never freeze tomatoes. It destroys the texture and takes up freezer space. We recently won a $100 gift card for groceries. I’m thinking some of that will go to onions, peppers and other fixings for me to can up some salsa. Maybe a light tomato pan sauce on pasta for dinner. That should take care of all of it.

The recipe I used. I made it to letter in order to avoid ruining a comfort food and sleeping on the couch. But I’m all in favor of your ideas. Only after she ate it did she remember that I should have added bacon.
