I finely dice about half of a purple onion and simmer that with garlic, Tabasco Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, a little water, oyster sauce, oregano, black pepper, bay leaf, no salt. Hahaha, I have never seen anyone put a 'no' ingredient in a recipe before, ah, silliness at 3 AM. So that is my soup starter to which I might add a buffalo steak, or make gumbo. The brand of oyster sauce is Ka-Me, in a 210 ml bottle. I made sure to take a photo of the empty bottle before I threw it away.<br /><br />Now I wiLL probably have an Ina Garten dream ...esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-28651841625666916632013-12-03T22:56:35.531-05:002013-12-03T22:56:35.531-05:00Mary Anne Rudolph: I had crab cakes last nite.

We like rain and cold weather so are looking forward to the mountains.<br /><br />Esb: I would like to know what you use oyster sauce for. You have given your machines outstanding names. I did not dare go near any shops on Black Friday.<br /><br />SK Waller: I know what you mean but it is difficult to get Cate to embrace this concept.<br /><br />Fmcgmccllc: I know what you mean too. Yes if course you are right about roadside diners.

It is a chain restaurant. A very popular one. And I like them myself and I am hard to please. But you only eat certain things there. There is a hole-in-the-wall biscuit place along the highways in North Carolina that are supposed to be fun.fmcgmccllchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184250774341700041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-87394273828211628472013-12-03T10:52:19.546-05:002013-12-03T10:52:19.546-05:00Some of the best food this country has to offer is...Some of the best food this country has to offer is served in little "Mom & Pop" places.

When we were there on Fri after TDay it was eXtremely crowded but I found a shirt to act as a light jacket or layer up with my jacket. I get hot way too easily. While at Cracker Barrel I read their Wikipedia article.<br /><br />I realized I now have oyster in some form every week usually more than once in my soup with the oyster sauce that I use. I just finished the first bottle last night. I don't name my vehicles but every once in awhile I will pat my F-350 on the dash and teLL it that I love it. I have given my embroidery machines names. The first is R. Stit Ching and the second one is named Unakilo Perminuto, because they can stitch a thousand stitches a minute at a maximum rate. If you watch them veRy long you realize they are reaLLy robots, so they needed names. On Black Friday we went shopping but mainly for raw materials for our factory. This time of year Tamie is busy making wreaths. She did about 20-25 last year. I think she did most of the labor, but her assistant is starting to do more things all the time and now we have a second person coming on board, so it is interestingly busy.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-27275026048981245092013-12-03T07:04:25.961-05:002013-12-03T07:04:25.961-05:00It has been said that the more churches there are ...It has been said that the more churches there are in a local area, the lower the IQ for that area. At least in the South. We are the Bible Belt you know. <br />Be sure to try crab cakes somewhere. Get a local to recommend a place, ask a policeman or shopkeeper.<br />It will rain when you come to the Smokies. Oh well. Rain is why they look like they do. They are the oldest mountains IN THE WORLD you know. Look it up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873759585098324119noreply@blogger.com
