I dug this up because I was lookin for the foods board and never found it, reckon this is close enough though. Anyway, I just had 3 cheese tortellini with not alfredo sauce but sausage gravy. Now yall yankees and city folk might think that a bit odd, but give it a try. Get some real good sausage (the kind we use is taken from the hogs raised on the farms in this area) and make some real good gravy. Then put it on the tortellini. It's bettern yall might think. That along with the greasy pound cheeseburger I ate at lunch and I think I might just be speedin up the family heart attack gene. But by golly, it sure is a good supper. Like I said though, try it before you say you don't like it.

Edit: Had to improvise since we was outta biscuits.

There's one thing I like about the South, and that's the food. And..oh yeah, the Southern Belles.

I have had Sausage gravy and biscuits. And it's damn tasty. I would like to make my own sometime. I have a hard time making the gravy part.

Hey man the gravy's the easy part. If you don't stick the sausage to your skillet (like I always did) then all you got to do is fiddle with the amounts on flour and milk. Uhh, when I called my mom, she said to use all purpose flour. It's a treat though. That and cheese omelets and grits and toast and bacon and sausage. Yall wanna know something? I'm damn glad that the Waffle House is open 24/7. Hell, I'd a took a prom date there if she hadnt a been wearin such a nice dress that I hated to get it smokey....

Oh and if you only got the bacon and eggs, cook the bacon in the skillet first and don't wash it till after you cook the eggs in the bacon grease. Same thing with sausage and eggs.

Edit: And about the Southern Belles, sir there aint no finer kind a woman that I ever run across than a Southern. Always sweet (unless you get em too drunk, then they're salty ), good cooks, just plain good women. I have heard a few things about the goodness of Northern women, and I seen some would send most any guy runnin for cover, but I never knew any. Hell, maybe its just ALL women.

Ya know I'm funnin'.Damm I wish I had got to that thread on regional dialects before they locked it.I had all kinds of good slurs to throw around.

The wife and I busted a gut when we had first gotten married and her pop,an old Alabama boy, started talking about polk salad.We had just heard that Tony Joe White song 'Polk Salad Annie' on the car radio the day before.

Polk salad Annie,gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame,cause her mama was workin on the chain gang

Chomp,chomp chomp

HAHA JG, I don't know if you'd be any funnier if n I was drunk! I love a good joke about people's particulars, I always felt it makes people more friendly, once you can realize that it is, in fact a joke. PM me some of those slurrs, I'd like to hear em. And you know somethin else? I think you may have picked up a few of the good ol Southern mannerisms. I think you might be the first Yankee I ever heard tell of sayin "Busted a gut!"

I wash my pans with bacon grease.

I'll have to try and make some soon. I'll let ya know. Thank ya kindly.

[Sourdoughkeeper]

Haha I guess you're right. Say, by the way, anybody hungry? I know it's late, but them Waffle Houses is open all night...

Great kauphy and good food...

By the way, best Waffle Houses to go to is the ones in Georgia. Cause they got them vidalia onions (pronounced "vy-DAY-yuh" down here) in their stuff and man is it ever a good meal. Picture this, sweet onions in a cheese omelet with bacon and sausage, toast on the side with more bacon and/or more sausage (if you're like me, you like your arteries to be about the diameter of a toothpick) and a hot cup of coffee on a cold winter night after bein out till unearthly hours at a sporting event or somethin. Life just don't get much better than that feelin right there. Unless you got a waffle and some biscuits and gravy, but thats just too much to ask

[Redtown]

Chicken--smoothered in gravy, carrots and mushrooms, mashed potatos, dumplings, veggie medley, carrot cake.

Thats a good idea. Somethin my mom always has done was instead a usin that spray grease on a pan, get some butter (a lot, if you're like me) and lather it up, so to speak. let it get kind a warm and then start to cookin. Makes a difference that's sort a hard to explain, but it does make it taste real gooder.

And this is the food pages right? Don't mention it. I've actually picked up some things that I never knew about just readin, so I reckon it's high time for me to contribute for once.

I've been buggin my Mother an Grandmother for their recipes for breaded pork chops and FRIED CHICKEN (yet another TRUE privilege of a Southern upbringin ) for years but they aint neither one of em told me yet. Said that I'd have to figure that out on my own. But basically a simple breading would be flour, cornmeal and milk, maybe eggs, but I don't know how much of each.

My girl is making me meatloaf and mashed taters.
