Watched the final GALAVANT last night.

It's silly, but fun. Love the songs.

They left an opening for a 3rd season, but I doubt if there will be one. Hopefully, there will be a DVD of Season 1 & 2 soon.

I liked SEMINAR last night. It was very good, and the kids all did a nice job. I liked the guy who played the lead, too.

Not a lot of FUN.....but very well done.

I couldn't get into GALAVANT, DR DRUXY. I tried to watch a couple of episodes, and it should have been right up my alley.....but something just didn't click for me.

Happy Birthday to DR Ben!

TOD

Easy to answer, as I've always remembered these as my absolute favorites:

Meatloaf
Macaroni and Cheese
Pot Roast

The first two were frequent supper favorites. The latter was more of an occasional Sunday dinner type of thing. And here, I'm using the terms supper and dinner as my family did.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 02, 2016, 06:57:34 AM »

Now I am planning meat loaf and mac and cheese on Friday!!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2016, 06:58:11 AM »

My mom was a fairly simple cook. Betty Crocker type of recipes. But she did a couple of things to the above that I always found extra delicious.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 02, 2016, 06:59:32 AM »

My mom used regular saltine crackers in the meatloaf, but now and then she used Ritz crackers which made it even better.

And sometimes instead of mashed potatoes, she would roast potatoes in the pan with the meatloaf which was good, too.

MR BK has touched a nerve with the TOD, and I look forward to reading all the posts about it today!

I'm up.

I need a nap.

I kept meaning to wish happy birthdays yesterday to DR Kerry and DR Donald Feltham, but I kept forgetting.

Happy Belated Birthday, Guys!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #44 on:** February 02, 2016, 07:34:56 AM »

Happy Birthday, Ben.

Hope your oatmeal was tastier than usual this morning.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #45 on:** February 02, 2016, 07:36:03 AM »

TOD:

As a child, my favorite meal was "spaghetti with meat sauce".

As a child, my favorite dessert was "banana puddin'".

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #46 on:** February 02, 2016, 07:37:16 AM »

Non-TOD:

As an adult, my favorite meal (for my mom to prepare) is "Fried Chicken" (with anything else as sides).

As an adult, my favorite dessert (for my mom to prepare) is "rum cake".

Matthew · « **Reply #47 on:** February 02, 2016, 07:59:48 AM »

Good morning!

TOD: I may need to think about this. My mom's cooking was OK, but it was my grandmother's cooking I'll always remember and attempt to replicate on occasion.

Laura · « **Reply #49 on:** February 02, 2016, 08:24:07 AM »

Good morning.

TOD: meatloaf, roast beef, sauerbraten with gingersnap gravy, and "club sandwiches," which was really just leftover chicken with fixin's, but she put it on the lazy susan, so you could spin it around to choose your favorite fixin's.

Oh -- and turkey and dressing. She made the BEST cornbread dressing.

Laura · « **Reply #50 on:** February 02, 2016, 08:25:30 AM »

INSIDE the turkey, as God intended.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #51 on:** February 02, 2016, 08:50:35 AM »

Exactly. That's why He gave those turkeys such large cavities!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** February 02, 2016, 08:52:36 AM »

Our grandmothers' cooking --

That IS a good idea, as an addendum to this TOD or perhaps another one.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** February 02, 2016, 08:59:05 AM »

Okay, I have a minute, so here's mine:

Dad's mother - Fried chicken on Sunday, no question. We had it at home and elsewhere, but the memory goes right to her dinner table.

Mom's mother - Well, it sounds silly to say fried eggs, but I have a few very special memories of times when I was staying overnight with her and she made eggs, the frying and the taste of which are indelibly linked to the total memory of those happy occasions. What's more, half a century later, every damned time I fry eggs myself, I am making "those" eggs.

TOD: Roast beef and Rice, Roast Beef with potato and carrots, Chicken and dumplings, chicken and noodles, pork roast, chicken fried steak.... Oh then there are the twice baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, scalloped oysters.....and many more

Eating is a big deal in my family

Elan · « **Reply #57 on:** February 02, 2016, 09:29:29 AM »

Good afternoon,all! Happiest of birthday wishes to Ben & Iris, wherever they may be.

TOD: My mother's roasted chicken on Friday night was always excellent. I don't recall any desserts other than a lemon-poppy bundt cake that she made for Passover.

My mom makes an interesting peach pie. Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I didn't

Has he shaved yet? He looks so scruffy with a beard.
