Subj : Greasy Spoons To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Sat Mar 29 2025 12:05:58 Hi Dave, DD> Things are beginning to settle down .... finally. It's sort of scary DD> when you mgo to an appointment with your doctor and he says "I want DD> you to go to the Emergency Room right new. I'll cal and let them know DD> what's going on." That would scare me. No idea why? I would have asked what/why. DD> Would have been nice if he's put me "in the lop" as well. Then the DD> E.R. told me I'd be in hospital overnight for observation. Which DD> stretched to a week. Must have had a lot to look at. (G) Hopefully nothing major planned for the week so that the time in the hospital didn't conflict with much. DD> 8<-----SNIPPETY------>8 DD> Corned beef, now. With a good slather of zippy horseradish and some DD> boiled potatoes coateed w/melted butter. Yuuuuuuummmmm. RH> Actually, I prefer a spicy brown mustard with corned beef. DD> That or a nice zippy Dijon mustard are my second choice, Bv)= There were 2 in the pack, cooked them on Monday and been eating off of them all week. Started the second one yesterday, decided we're never going to buy corned beef from Lidl again. Both of them have been tough, even with gentle simmering. DD> 8<-----AGAIN----->8 DD> Title: Waffle Reuben Sandwiches DD> Categories: Breads, Beef, Vegetables, Cheese DD> Yield: 4 servings RH> It is something different; don't know if I could eat a whole one in one RH> sitting. DD> Have faith. The recipe makes 4 servings - and a sin gle serve is 4" DD> across. The equivalent of a half-sized BLT sandwich (or thereabouts) RH> Still, my appetite has greatly diminished over the years. We went to DD> My appetite has lessened as I age. Last night I was going to hit up DD> the Star 66 cafe at the local truck-stop for the AYCE "walleye" and a DD> bowl DD> of their really nice brocolli-cheese soup. But, inertia took over and DD> I nuked up a Healty Choice frozen entree (9 3/4 oz) and a Coke Zero. Sounds like the way I get sometimes, especially if we've been out most of the day. Even a couple of hours in the afternoon can really tire me out--lingering effects of the radiation? DD> Here's a sorta-kinda McWaffle. If In were making this for Uncle RH> Dirty DD> Dave I'd 86 the scallion in favour of the optional tomato. DD> Title: Waffle Sandwich DD> Categories: Five, Pork, Breads, Cheese DD> Yield: 1 servings DD> 1 sl Canadian bacon DD> 1 lg Egg DD> 1 Green onion, chopped DD> 2 Frozen multigrain waffles DD> 1 tb Shredded Cheddar cheese DD> Sliced tomato; opt RH> I'd go for a home made whole grain waffle and sliced "real" bacon. A RH> friend of Steve's was, last night, telling us of a fruit waffle he had RH> in Europe--waffle batter cooke a bit, then fruit put on it and then RH> more batter. The waffle enclosed the fruit when cooked. Sounds good, RH> maybe with strawberries, blueberries or peaches. DD> Dat sounds good as well. Indeed! DD> Title: Soccer Mom Fast Broccoli Cheese Soup DD> Categories: Soups, Pork, Cheese, Dairy, Vegetables DD> Yield: 4 Servings DD> 1 bn Broccoli; chopped DD> +=OR=+ DD> 10 oz Pkg frozen broccoli DD> 1 c Water DD> 4 tb Butter DD> Salt & pepper DD> 1 c Cheddar cheese soup DD> 1 1/2 c Velveeta cheese; diced * DD> 2 c Milk; or more, to desired DD> - consistency DD> 8 sl Cooked bacon; chopped or DD> - crumbled DD> * I used "Cheez Wiz" instead of Velveeta. Neither is DD> real cheese - but, then, they work well in this recipe. DD> ~- UDD Throw a handful of chicken in it and use bacon crumbles. I bought a small bag of the latter on one of our Vermont trips, found that the Sam's Club and Costco versions are nothing but bacon so now we keep a bag on hand for convenient "toss ins". --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
