Bren - a roux is a mix of butter and flour. Take a tbsp of butter, and a tbsp of flour and rub them together (with your fingers!) into a little round ball. Then drop the ball into a hot liquid, stir alot, and pretty soon you'll have a nice sauce! Or gravy!

Alpal: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! That's the original "strange noise" screaming!! You seem to know me too well.
Lewing: You are soooo sweet to be willing to share your leftover gumbo with me that if we ever go to War again, "I" am fighting for the North! Well maybe I have to let DP fight for the South because another dear sweetheart of a poster just invited me in a PM to visit her and she would share her delicious gumbo and fares with me.
You ALL are such wonderful, generous ladies to want to feed me! But ladies, you do know I am kidding about being poverty ridden don't you? Maybe the government's ratings on who is middle class has changed but I could really afford to buy a "few" crabs and maybe even a bit of shrimp if I just had a kitchen big enough to cook in. But your graciousness is awesome! Thank you sooooo much!
-
Medigal .. you can come to my house too! But you'll have to do all the cooking!

Bren: Thanks but "you" would have to PAY for all the ingredients and things I love can cost a lot to cook. I just couldn't do that to you in these expensive times. Thanks anyway!

Ok, I married a Texan and he's the one who taught this TN gal how to eat chili poured over Fritoes! Back in the day, my mom made "Chili-Mac", which was actually chili spaghetti --I'm talking 40's-50's.
Now my MIL made chicken spaghetti, GAG, believing it was "better" for you. Yuck, a waste of good pasta. Something about tomato sauce and chicken with pasta just doesn't get it--of course, she was Texan. LOL
-
Meeting went well. We are waiting on pricing now for a variety of things .... I'll keep you posted.

Melissa .. thanks so much for the update!!!

Chicken with tomato sauce and pasta can be wonderful. Have you ever heard of Chicken Parmesan? A little wine and some mushrooms added to the tomato sauce or a little cheese make all the difference in the world.
-
Now we're talking Pat -- love Chicken Parmesan. Also Chicken Piccata with pasta.
-
Chicken parm. that I've eaten wasn't shreaded chicken, and it Was great. haven't tried picatta. I guess it was a bit of not really caring for the cook that kept the flavor from being good to me. LOL
-
Mmmm. Chicken Picatta, garlic, a little grated onion, white wine, and tons of lemon. Yummmm.
-
and capers - I love capers!
-
Oh Alpal, you are so right! Capers in Picatta is the bomb!! (Am I dating myself with that expression?)
-
lewing - A belated "you're welcome" for the mucilage info. I aim to please!
Bren - I have also been wondering where Athena is. I hope she drops in soon.
My MIL was Danish. She made all sorts of wonderful pickled dishes and sweet rolls and such, but her specialty was ......buttermilk soup. It tastes as wretched as it sounds. She was so proud of it, we always felt compelled to eat every bite. YUK!
Thanks to Melissa for working on the problem issues.

Hi Sandy .. buttermilk soup sounds really bad. Also, hope we hear from Athena soon!

Good morning ladies,
Sounds like everyone is in a good mood today!
I just finished making French toast with thick slices of raisin bread with vanilla and added some cinnamon to the eggs and half and half. Buttered them up, then put confectioners sugar on the top---heaven on a plate!!!
-
pup: I "was" in a good mood until I read your post! You get Heaven on a plate and all I got was yucky plain "oatmeal"! Your French toast sounds fantastic! However, I am trying to watch my cholesterol and that sounds like a yummy treat full of calories. Maybe if my next test is ok, I will splurge and make your delicious french toast!

We didn't have Kringle, but she did make ebleskivers. They are wonderful. We now have her cast iron ebleskiver pan, and my daughter makes them fairly often. Also, we still have lots of frickidillers. I'm not sure of the spelling - just meatballs, really, but they are great. When the family first immigrated here, they lived in a sod hut for a year while they built a house. What an interesting life she had. Although interesting may not have been the word her mom would have chosen while taking care of little toddlers in a sod hut.

Even though I just had lunch, you Danish descendants are making me hungry all over again! Had to look up ebleskivers (or aebleskivers, apparently -- you Americans are really good at taking out unnecessary vowels LOL). They sound delicious. When I make pancakes, I always add cinnamon and also sliced peaches in season, but usually blueberries (frozen or fresh) so I like to think I also make my own version of ebleskivers!!!
Now I'm really, really curious about frickidillers -- love that name!!!
-
I like that word. I think it will come in handy. I think it can be used as a noun, verb, adjective....etc. LOL!
-
Blue: I agree but I think it can also be used as a "cuss word" if we really want to push it. And the great thing about it is, our Mods would never know! It can be "our" secret cuss word for this thread whenever we find a need to use the bad "f" word. "Frickidillers"!
-
Medigal -- Some secret!!!! Yep, a good word to use instead of....! With apologies to all our Danish pals, of course!
-
Frickidillers instead of lobotomy with tweezers.
-
Frickidiller = noun. As in, "She's a real frickidiller."
Frickidill = verb. As in, "Did you see the two of them frickidilling?"
Frickidillish = adjective. As in, "These ebleskivers are absolutely frickidillish."

-
Pup .. your french toast sounds heavenly to me!! Yum!
Bren
Edited: I like the sound of frikidillers!
-
What the frickidillers are y'all talking about! hehe!
-
Okay, now that we have a new, exceptionally descriptive word to use, I had to look up the "real" meaning! Frikadellers are danish meatballs!
-
lewing: You paid attention in school! Who would have thunk it? I like your use of our new word. That word needs to be put in Websters so more folks can use it and not get fussed at. You know there are just times when everyone needs a good "frickidilling". I just "love" that word! I can insult someone and they can't hit me cause they won't know what the heck I am saying to them!
My apologies to all our Danish members (if any). We just "lika be bad" some days.
Danish Meatballs??? That's not very sexy but if you think about it "real" hard it does contain a word that goes with our new interpretation. Let's see if Lewing also paid attention to her "street" slang. Ok! So some of us do have dirty mines but only when posting in "this" group. You ladies are such a baaaaaaad influence!
-
Squeezers, frickidilling is awesome. If you don't agree then hammer and tongs you are tweezer.
I practiced.
-
It is even better than the word 'frack' used on Battlestar Galactica.
