Mush

JUNE 24, 2023 ~ WHYSPRS

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

I know it doesnt sound ideal, but I grew up with a mom that was raised not long after the depression. We wasnt rich but we wasnt not poor either, about 90% of my parents earnings went back into our family business.

Every morning, mostly in winter but also on other cold days. After waking up and getting dressed, I was handed a large cup usually that was filled with a drink of liquid corn meal mush. It was usually mom that would make it and was cooked with a bit of bacon grease or butter and sugar, then added milk to thin it out and cool it enough to drink during the wait for the bus. Having mush always takes me back to the times of those cold mornings of holding my mush in one hand, a cup of coffee in the other and heavy backpack on my back while waiting in the cold just before daylight for the bus.

I still eat mush every now and again and always use butter and sugar instead of the bacon grease. My wife was recently introduced to it by me one morning and she couldnt believe she hadnt had it before.. lol

Adding a roof 4/28/12

Yesterday I bought lumber and corigated fiberglass to add a roof over the kitchen, so far so good. I did manage to burn my finger on a very hot screw. I will never buy the crap screws that I bought yesterday for the simple fact that the quality is lacking and strip out as you try and screw them in. I had issues while putting it al together though. First thing that happened was oje of the walls I was re-attaching which is made of a tarp, collapsed and tore breaking the frame free of the house. Then my drill died which put work off for a while while we ran back to town to get another drill. After getting back home it decided to rain pour on me while I finished constructing the roof. It now also has a skylite due to the corrigated fiberglass.. I also covered the plywood with viso-elastic coating and will be adding a second coat when i get home today...

I didn't get any pictures because I didn't think to have Sandi take pictures.

Thanks for reading

Whew! I'm wore out tonight..

Well firstly I went to court to find out that supposedly I now have several businesses in my name and all are making money... Wow!!! Don't I wish!!! yeah that's why I still have been driving a piece of crap 1992 ford escort that I has had to be rebuilt twice and is on its last leg.. I mean seriously... If I was to be making money due to having businesses, I would have quit the job that I am really starting to hate and just earned money via my business...

After court (Around noon) I came home fixed a fried balogna sandwich and set off to go fishing... I just made it home about 10PM.. Needless to say I am burnt, and tired. We went to 2 different places, one of which I had to carry my filled 5 gallon bucket some 200 yrds to where we were fishing..

LOL the first fish I caught was most definitely a keeper, however I apparently put it on the stringer wrong and it was dead when I pulled it out of the water before we decided to go some where else and get out of the sun... so I was left with small fish to clean tonight...

Its all good, I came home to a very good stir fried meal...Thanks Honey (She takes sooo good care of me) :P

Well I'm beat and going to get heading off to bed... Thanks for reading me and as always, leave a note letting me know you were here...

Cooler, But Still More Heat

Although last nights rain cooled it off overnight and the temp this morning was in the low 70's, it is now 95 with a heat index of 115...

I went fishing this morning after breakfast and intend on going again after dark... might have to go and buy a light up bobber, I need to put meat on the table, especially after the fiasco last night.. I really wish I was closer to the lake and at least had a large inner tube, for I would at least set some trot lines and provide at least some catfish...

Remember leave a not to say you were here, thanks for reading...

Well, here I am. I havnt posted in the past couple of days so here I am.

Dont get me wrong, i would rather have the heat over freesing cold... On another note I have heard the voice and 12 weeks from this week.. Give or take a few days will be the first frost... The 20 yr ciciada threw me off but i heard the normal ones that tell of the frost this morning...

As always, please leave me a note to let me know that you have stoped by... ~wysprs~

Well going to get off here for a bit and may be back later tonight or may not.. just depends on how im feeling...

Cheesecake by Brad*

I first made this cheesecake back in 1992, I took it from an old recipe from an obscure cookbook and added a little bit here and little there. Originally if I remember right, the recipe called for cottage cheese that was boiled down to make cream cheese or something similar there of. When I wrote this recipe down it was from memory and this is what I came up with... the last time I made this prior to writing this down was in 1994.

Ingredients:

• 2 8 oz. packets Cream Cheese
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 4 oz packet lemon jello
• 1 can evaporated milk
• (don’t use the fat free one, you need the fat to bond)
• 3 TBSP Lemon Juice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

1. Make jello mix with half of water called for. DO NOT LET THIS SET!! (I used Great Value brand and it called for 1 Cup boiling water and 1 cup cold. I only used the 1 Cup boiling water)

2. In a large bowl add cream cheese, vanilla, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice beat with eggbeater or hand mixer until soft.

3. Add milk to mixture and blend, it will be slightly frothy.

4. Fold Jello into the cheese mixture until blended.

5. Let this set for about 5 minutes.

6. Pour into the crust and place into refrigerator to cool and set up, this will take up to 5 hours, or you can cut the time in half by placing into the freezer.

7. The crust that I used is the larger gram cracker crust that says "2 more servings" so it is larger and will fill the crust to the top of the gram cracker

Brad's Awesome Hummus

Having been diagnosed with gout and researching it, i decided to go with a greek menu for a while to prevent the painful flare-ups it worked for a while and I really like it a lot, since coming up with this recipe I have had many requests for it from people who also suffer from gout...

Ingredients:

• 1 can garbanzo beans/chickpeas
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 roasted red bell pepper

Preparation:

In a food processor, blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

Serve immediately with pita bread, pita chips, or veggies. Store in a airtight container for up to three days.

this was my twist on a recipie that I had found... I aded a few things to taste, its rather awesome in my opinion and has a very good color to match the delicate flavors...

just made a second batch, chopped smoother, also added olives and an extra 1/2 tsp oregano and 2 squrts of frank's original to it... 2 words "tottally awesome"

Monty Python - always look on the bright side of life

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best... And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing. And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow. So always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you. And always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the right side of life... (Come on guys, cheer up!) Always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the bright side of life... (Worse things happen at sea, you know.) Always look on the bright side of life... (I mean - what have you got to lose?) (You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!) Always look on the right side of life...
