Have you ever eaten any of that stuff?

Other than the usual beef, chicken, portk & veal - I've eaten Bison, Elk (in Wyoming!) Venison, calamari (fried only!!) OH, and gator tail which, like GW says, does NOT taste like chicken. It's fishy and just gross.

I am not a very adventurous eater. :yay:

Back to the fall/winter meals - if it snows this Saturday, I am thinking of sausage lentil soup. Or maybe chili! :getdown:

Sausage Lentil soup is really easy! Vrai posted her recipe here a number of years ago, and my sister used to make it, also. This might be a hybrid of both:

Sausage Lentil Soup​

1 lb-ish of hot Italian sausage 1 tsp. salt
1 small onion, chopped 2 tsp. black pepper
3 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 tsp cayenne
2 carrots, chopped 2 tsp oregano
2 stalks of celery, chopped 2 tsp basil
3 cans of chicken broth 2 tsp thyme
2 cans of diced tomatoes OR 1 Tbsp parsley
substitute 1 can Rotel
2 cups dried lentils

Squeeze the sausage out of its casing (if it's links), brown and chop in decent sized chunks, but not too big. Drain the fat if there's a lot, otherwise a little fat never hurt anyone. Then dump everything else in the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour.

Adjust all of the ingredients to your taste!

You were in the wrong chow hall then. All the Navy chow halls I ever ate it were awesome and don't even get me started on the Air Force. Especially Bolling - OMG - I forget what they call it when they a huge chunk of beef that they cut in front of you - that was available three times a week, chicken fried steak - best I've ever had available every day, huge salad bars....

That bad huh? Gawd those AF guys - seemed like they had everything. I seldom got breakfast there, but the times I did - every kind of breakfast meat you could possibly want, omelets made to order. Nobody cared much about healthy food back then.

I LOVE this weather - working on a tan without all the heat, early mornings have been clear and cold, sleeping with the windows open and best of all - stars, something with alcohol, and cold enough for flannel pj's outside.

Recipe looks good - did you see the one for pork chops with Dijon underneath it?

I'm fine with the weather so far, but 20's/freezing/windy, not so much. Even though we didn't have much of that over the actual winter! I already have my Pj's picked out for tomorrow :jet:

Yep, the recipe underneath sound yummy too!
