What Are You Doing Right Now?

Maggiemahone1, let's talk "red eye gravy" and Southern Cooking. For instance if my doctor told me that I could not have Southern Friend Chicken anymore I would find a new doctor. If you live in the South like me you know Southern Cooking. As for "Red Eye Gravy" it is easy to fix. First pan fry some cured ham. If cured ham is not available then pan fry a ham steak. Make sure the ham gets a partial crispy coating on each side. You are looking for the pan particles which the fried ham leaves in the skillet. Now I use a black cast iron frying pan. With strong black coffee you scrap the the bottom of the frying pan to remove and dissolve the particles stuck to the frying pan. The gravy will be thin. Wow!! The flavor from the cured ham and the taste of strong black coffee blend to give you that special "Red Eye gravy" It is good on grits and biscuit. You will have to do trial and error to find the taste and consistency that your family will enjoy. Hope this helps.

thanks coastman for your recipe..I'm gonna fix red eye gravy this weekend, along with homemade buttermilk biscuits. I'll let you know how it turns out...

I'm browsing around in the forum and drinking a glass of red wine to unwind from the day at work. All my family is in bed and this time is for ME time...

Maggiemahone1, I see you have the The Breast Cancer Ribbon displayed on your post. We have been breast cancer free for 11 years. We just returned from the breast cancer center in Savannah late yesterday. We have a spot on a mammogram. We go in for a needle biopsy next Thursday Nov. 9th. Just keep us in your prayers. B)

I certainly will coastman...I've never had breast cancer but got a scare a few years back...needless to say I do the breast checks and go in for a mammogram every year. My prayers for you and yours...

Im preparing my training... oiling the sword, cleaning the armor, and think about the next few hours

I am trying to relax a little after being sick.

I'm waiting for a phone number I'm trying to call to not be busy.

I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of a Sunday morning and listening to CR

deciding what to make for breakfast

Getting ready to begin my Christmas decorating. I usually do it on Thanksgiving weekend, but since we are going to be gone from the 17th to the 27th, I want have as much done before we go as I can.

Putting off going to bed... Doing an online wordsearch and trying to catch up on the CR.net stuff I've been missing out on, and listening to great music on Highlander Radio.

6:30 AM, already at the office, havng PB and saltines for breakfast, and I'm preparing to teach a class for later in the day -- then I'm going to critique some essays from other people in one of my writing classes. I can't complain -- I asked for this, and I'm enjoying most of it tremendously.

9:00am central time.... sitting at my computer working on drawings...
listening to "meatloaf" "bat out of hell"..... like a sinner before the gates of heaven i'll come crawling on back to you...."

funny how they had one good album...

oh well sorry to ramble.

putting off housework. baby's sleeping, so it's me time.

Catching up on the comings and goings of all of you.
