Hugs to you
Tina, very, very grateful for the thought!

I have address Tina for her note....WOW, food does work for other
people too. Your DH is truly a sweetie.

When I need some "soul food" it has to be food from my childhood that
my Daddy usually cooked. Homemade chicken and noodles on garlic mashed
potatos, Basque chorizos, homemade bread, a jar of pickles that were
packed in the back yard on a summer evening, menudo (don't ask),
sasuage gravy and bisquits and bacalao. The one that really sticks out
in my mind and one that I did this year was homemade bread covered in
homemade mayonnaise and a slice from a giant green bell pepper that
covers the bread. It really takes me back.

We never really had chocolate growing up so it has been my adult
adventure....and I do consider it an adventure. I search it out
everywhere in the world I go.

Me to DH "what chocolate...I ain't got no chocolate, GET OUT OF MY
SEWING ROOM" lol

CHOCOLATE DOESN'T MAKE THE WORLD GO AROUND. BUT IT CERTAINLY MAKES THE
TRIP WORTHWHILE.

A big, juicy hand-formed cheeseburger, with lettuce, tomato & mayo, on a
lightly toasted kaiser roll... especially those from Outback Steakhouse.

Sheer joy!

I'm curious as to what everyone's favorite "pick me up food" is. Myself,
I
love dark chocolate. I have a secret stash (which is not so secret
anymore)
of Dove Dark chocolate (goes well with a latte). I'd also like to know
when
the "Queen of Chocolate" on this ng will relinquish her title so that I
can
become the official chocolate taster. Perhaps I could self appoint myself
"Princess of dark chocolate".

Red and orange hands
from the soup I'm preparing
remind me of the fabric I've been sharing...
of cheeky pumpkin grins,
of wind-chilled faces;
it's that time of year again.


I'm making homemade vegetable soup with (among other things) beet
root and carrots. So pretty.

Oh Jo, sounds wonderful, can I come to your house for dinner?

I was so hungry for stew last week. DH had bought stew meat from the
grocery store. When we packed the cooler to evacuate, we took the stew
meat with us. Needless to say, the packages of frozen stew meat were
slipped under our shirts and used to cool our bodies. When they
started to melt and thaw, they were traded for something else more
frozen and given to the dogs to lie on to help keep them cooled down.
Once we made it to our destination, all the previously frozen food was
thrown away, spoiled.

I asked DH this morning, if he would go back to the store and buy me
more stew meat. I'm still hungry for that stew, but he had to go out
to the farm house to patch the big hole in the roof before the rain
comes again.

Will definitely be having stew sometime this weekend - that is, if we
don't make it to your house first! LOL

Hugs,
Tina

Hello Carole,

Sorry Charlie, uh Carole, I hold the title Official Chocolate
Taster for RCTQ ... and intend to keep it. Yes, I do!! It is a
Life time appointment ... rather Dictator for Life style! LOL!!

Your post gives me opportunity to remind readers that with the
start of Autumn, the weather is again cool enough to send
chocolate to Virginia. So, just pack up a pound or two of the
stuff you've been holding in reserve and send to my Palace here
in Virginia. Reports will be posted on this NG when I get a round
to it.

Sorry, no chocolate stashes here at the moment. However, I have run into
some of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had (I haven't ever
tasted Nancycog's cookies, though...) -- keep in mind that I live a
fairly sheltered life. Anyway, these are from my local Albertson's
grocery store and are the Essencia label -- Belgian chocolate chunks in
the cookies. Omigosh!
