ginny,

That's NOT FAIR. It could take ages to type it all in!

She taught me lots of lessons. She was a teacher after all. A gourmet
chef and an accomplished piano player and patron of the opera.

Aside from growing up eating bread and butter and plain hamburgers and
spaghetti and butter (NO CHEESE), she made a scrumptious veal parmesan on
occasion.

She scarred me for life for opening a canned ham, back in the early 60s
and slicing it up cold and serving us for dinner. I took one bite and
between the jelly slime and the saltiness, I prompty puked on the kitchen
table. She never served ham again.

My favorite memory was the "$Million-dollar lunchbox" in first grade. We
gathered in the cafeteria for lunchtime and I opened up my lunchbox and
my thermos was missing. My sandwich was missing. My cookies were missing.
But magically in there place was Mom's wallet. She must've been hungover
or SOMETHING! I opened her wallet and it was full of money and credit
cards and change and (I've told this before) I made a 1st grade executive
decision and took 35 cents and bought a hot lunch AND chocolate milks.
Living large for a day.

Andy

Every year we holiday at the same place. Remote island close to
Brisbane, but far enough away to deter most people.
The house we rented (when there were 2 of us, 2 kids, 1 dog for the 3
week stay ...and several friends (of the kids) & inlaws dropping in for
a few days break) slept 12 but had a pitifully small fridge. Everything
had to be stacked on top of each other as there were a few missing
shelves. (Believe one bright spark who rented it actually used 1 or 2
as grills over an open fire bbq... hmmm... like I said, a real bright
spark)
November/December here in Queensland is stiflingly hot so it's perfect
bbq weather, cold meats, salads etc.
Mum is British through and through. If a product is English... it HAS
to be the best there is. (No, she won't be voting republican if our
government ever goes that track!) Her vehement pro-Brit monologues are
a standing joke in (my) family.(three Aussies after all!)
She had come over for a weekend break and enjoy time at the beach with
her dog.
But, despite my best efforts, insisted on 'helping' in the kitchen.
(Which was galley style and very cramped. Ideal for one. Not so ideal
for more than one.)

I'd made a tossed green salad, a potato & egg salad (her recipe
actually), a coleslaw, and a marinaded salami/tomato combo. Meat &
sausages were already on the bbq sizzling away. Table was laid.
Everything prepared.
Until......... Mum decided she and I needed a top up on our wines.
Without bending down (or looking too closely) she reached into the
fridge yanked two bottles out and unwittingly dragged out the two
salads perched atop the bottles. Calamity struck.
The spud salad survived in tact - the container had a tight fitting
lid. The coleslaw however was shot from one end of the kitchen to the
other and under the stove & fridge to boot.
Ever since, it has been a regular request at family barbecues for Mum
to 'prepare' her Special English Tossed Coleslaw!
She's never likely to live that one down.
(Sounds really lame in the retelling, but at the time it was
hysterical. She was so mortified.)


This thread also reminds me of my mother-in-law ringing me in a panic
on Christmas Day. She'd cooked a whopping great turkey with all the
trimmings in her wall oven. Her problem was that she'd rested the
baking pan on the door of the oven to baste & check if it was done....
and the oven door promptly snapped off sending the turkey and all the
vegetables scooting over her floor. Her two pekinese were delighted
with the sudden 'gift from heaven' and promptly set about snuffling
their way through the mess!
Glad I wasn't eating there that day!!! (Though it did get de-dogged,
de-doghaired etc and served up after being 'sterilised' in the oven
(with BF holding oven door in place) for a further 30 minutes.
ewwwww..... Since then, whenever we visit, we eat out at restaurants &
cafes. Or I cook. I just don't trust her!!!!

My favorite meal my Mom used to make was what she called "pot pies"
but other old timers also used to call it "leather". It was basically
wide thick egg noodles. By wide I mean at least two inches wide and
usually about 2" long too. These were boiled in beef broth with a little
flour to thicken. Supposedly my Dad's mother showed her how to make them
and her mother showed her and so on. I make them still, so I guess it's
at least a five generation recipe. We would have the neighbor kids over
to help bale hay, and this would be lunch.
Another thing Mother made a lot was fried chicken. Home killed and
cleaned. We even had the Pastor mention that at her funeral.

I remember her baking more than her cooking. As a cook, she was
infamous for "Pork Chips."

When I think of Mom, I think of cookies. All kinds, and in massive
batches.

Here's one of her signature recipes. The title is spoken quickly, as
one long word.

1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
3 large bananas -- mashed
2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup nuts -- chopped
1/4 cup maraschino cherries -- chopped

NOTES : The name of this recipe is said all as one word. It's a rule.

The recipe implies three medium bananas. For a moister, more dense and
flavorful bread, use three large or four medium bananas. And be sure
to always use fully ripe bananas. When they're still nice for eating,
they haven't developed the rich flavor you want in a bread.

LadyJane,

We road tripped from Canberra, NSW to Adelaide, SA where "Big Bird #1"
was born and raised and we were going to stay at his parents house for a
few days.

While we were there she treated us like her own, while naturally
embarassing her son, OUR boss the whole time.

Upon arrival she asked us, "would you boys like a beer and a whiskey?!"

God bless Mrs. Joseph!!! We had a Mom away from home for a bit.

She made us our first kangaroo steak dinner!!!

Very proper and upstanding family. It was a pleasure of my life!

You Aussies are so civilized!!!

Okay, I will have to add to this maybe this weekend, when I don't have
to get ready for work.

But I remember her breakfasts of sausage/bacon, and fried apples. And
hot biscuits with honey. What a match made in heaven!!!

She was the first person that taught me to enjoy lamb. No one else
that I knew outside of our family ate lamb. This was in Richmond, VA,
back in the 50's and 60's. However, she didn't cook it so it was a
nice pink in the middle, but rather hers was well done. And, she
used garlic with it. Another rarity. But it was still very, very
good.

And the salads. I think we had salads every night. Not your usual
iceberg lettuce, although that was a component of the salads....but
other greens as well. And she made a vinagarette for it. It wasn't
til I went away to school that I realized that not everyone knew what
an oil and vingegar dressing should taste like.
Even though I now use olive oil for the salad oil she used to use, I
still can't improve on the salads and vinagarettes she made.

It's a solid, vegetable oil-based replacement for lard. I've made
this with butter, no problem. We have established in previous threads
that you can get Crisco vegetable shortening at certain houses of
prostitution in Amsterdam. Have you made any plans for European
travel?

Wow - my Mom was an awesome cook. Her pot roast was the best. And
vegetable soup - I can duplicate it, but I don't make it nearly often
enough. And baked Macaroni and Cheese - the old-fashioned thick kind
so many people love. It makes me sad to think about it too much.

Like ginny said - it doesn't get better, just different.

My mom is still with us, but she doesn't cook anymore. What I really
miss is her cornbread baked in a cast iron mold pan -- the cornbread
came out in sticks shaped like corn on the cob. It tasted so good --
just the right amound of crust. I think the pan was lost in a move.
I'm not very sentimental about "stuff", but I do wish I had that pan.

Besides, Pt Lookout is closer to the pub :-)

I stayed over there for 3 weeks. Was helping a mate paint a house, so we
got free rent for the whole time.

In a house, with a large deck overlooking Pipeline Beach(?), just a
short walk to the pub...... it was heaven :-)

LOL!!! After *toooooooooo* long in California, I came back here, picked
my boys up and went for a drive to get some groceries. I turned down a
street and the boys started to yell, I looked at the car coming head on
at us and started yelling at the 'dickhead' to get back on his own side
of the road, whilst flashing my headlights and gesticulating wildly.

It wasn't until my eldest son yelled at me to get on the 'right' side of
the road I realised I was travelling US style :-)

DOH!!

Bit fuzzy this morning. Went with an *evil* mate and picked up 9 cartons of
RTD's yesterday, for the party/boat trip tomorrow. We stopped off at the
pub at midday "for a quick one" according to him, and finished up at 10pm
last night :-/

Today we're going to go and pick up about 15 slabs of hot's and early
tomorrow we'll be getting the other 16 slabs of coldies. (There'll be 85
people all up!! And some of it is for another party we're having on the
28th.)

So there'll be no posts from me for a couple of days!!

Just made an intersting observation this morning (well actually, the
last 3 mornings)

I've started to use Unsalted Butter instead of the normal stuff. With
the cold weather we're having, the normal stuff is a real pain in the
bum to spread. And now that they've changed their packaging, it's a pain
to cut the block to go into my butter container. So I bought some nice
sized (250g) blocks of unsalted butter. It tastes very similar, but the
main benefit is that it spreads sooooooooo much easier!!


> or margarine if you really feel the need for carcinogens

I haven't had margarine since I was a poor Private (in the Army) with a
wife and 3 kids under 10yo.

Will never use it again, either.

My mom made that macaroni and cheese and it was one of the first
things she let us make on our own! She made really good chicken
and dumplings, terrific holiday dinners (that dressing, and yes it WAS
in the bird--there is nothing like it ..) but mostly she was a baker. A
really fine baker. The smell of baking apples and cakes and pastry
was one I grew up with. And cookies. And she made two dishes
I have never seen since--one she called "stuffed pork chops" and
one was some sort of pounded steak that was then lightly breaded,
browned then braised in a tomato based sauce. That sound familiar
to anyone? I cannot recall what she called it.

Cylinder Beach.... which got it's names because way back a supply boat
used to drop off gas cylinders for the lighthouse (at the Point) at
that particular beach.

LOL!! After a couple or 7 beers, all women start to look like hotties
:-)

But, no.... these hot's are hot beers. Not hot per se, but room temp. So
that we can save them for later if they don't get thrown on ice and
drunk on the weekend. If you chill a beer, you have to keep it chilled
because if you let it go back to room temp, it ruins the flavour.

And we have *way* too many beers to have them all chilled at once.

This is what you want. This one makes 9 cornsticks at a time. They
also have 5 and 7 stick pans.

I have several of the 5 cornstick pans, but haven't used them in
years...I just might have to pull them out, dust 'em off and bake some
cornsticks. Yhanks for the reminder.

BOB
wondering how they would taste if I baked them in (one of the)
smoker(s)

Nahh, not you.

But the stalkers, yes. Even had to take a Restraining Order out against
one of them!!

That's the one. Every time there's a full moon, she comes out and rants
and raves about me :-)

Couldn't handle the rejection, I s'pose :-)

Then in my opinion you need a MUCH bigger boat with more fridge space.
(Love the FOUREX ads.... now THERE'S ingenuitity in cooling beers for
you!)

Sounds like some of the weekends we spent BK (before kids).... ahh

Just make sure to keep your bouyancy vest firmly buckled at all times
Peter,
and have a great weekends 'fishing'....(aka: boozing to the
uninitiated!)
And at least dangle a line in so you CAN honestly say you did fish!!

;-) hehehe
