Am I out of the corps?

Supper tonight:
Slices of pot roast from last week's chuck cut
Frozen green beans (cooked)
Mashed potatoes from a plastic refrigerated tub (free with the roasts a
couple weeks ago)
Roast chicken gravy (shut up) made from a Knorr packet
Betty Crocker Warm Chocolate cake (from my annual GM products gift box)
Edy's vanilla ice cream

The gravy wasn't bad -- pretty good, in fact. Too bad I didn't have
beef. The potatoes were pretty tasty, too, but I won't be buying them
ever. The roast pot was very nice -- that was a good roast. The green
beans (whole) were from a Bigass bag from Sam's -- also pretty good.
Haven't eaten the cake yet and it will be cold when we do.
Shoot me.

Still have a few pans in the freezer, might have some for dinner this
week. Tomorrow is sausage and home made kraut, tonight was leftovers, we
were both too tired for much else. The salad was fresh, right from the
garden, fresh tomatoes (last of those we had a freeze Sunday), a couple
of hot chiles, lettuce, chard, parsley, sliced queen olives, feta
cheese, scallions. I ate mostly salad, trying to get below that 190 lb
mark again. So far I've lost 75 lbs in 2 1/2 years, and have gone from a
44 waist to a 38 again. I don't think I'll ever get back to the 28 inch
waist I had when Miz Anne and I married 45 years ago.

Wasn't it salty? I find most prepared stuff *way* too salty.

"Big ass" is too words, often hyphenated. A big-ass bag.

Nah. But we may forgive you...

But it *was* from Sam's. "Bigass" could be the store-brand name for all
of those warehouse outfits , as far as I'm concerned.

The hubby wouldn't take you out or were you just too busy ;)

Actually, it was decent. Didn't taste like thickened chicken bouillon.
I will check out other Knorr gravy mixes.

No. Bigass is the term used by my mentor, zxcvbob.

Will you forgive me for eating the Betty Crock thing all by myself? Rob
never knew of its existence and he was in his cave when I remembered it
and I didn't want to bother him . . . . and it wasn't very good,
besides. I saved him. My Wifely Duty and all.

And too many times the word 'too' is used incorrectly. "-)

Neither. I didn't want to go out. I needed to get the rest of that pot
roast out of the fridge -- it was in there at least a week.

I understand Cheney was trying to bag a former Vice President but got
someone else... big deal!

ObFood: Roast Quail, from "Nose to Tail Eating" by the great Fergus
Henderson.

Bubba

Roast Quail
To serve 4

The quail unfortunately falls into a kind of bird purgatory; it is not a
game bird, though some describe it as such, but is now a thoroughly
farmed bird, so not glamorous enough to warrant the "hand on" battling
that people feel justified to exert on grouse and partridge, and is
denied from joining the chicken gang as it is seen to be too fiddly to
eat. Then finally, to kick it while the quail's down, people say it has
no flavour.

Put all this behind you and let me put forward the case for the joys of
a bowl of thoroughly roasted quails.

10 quails (as there are always those who end up eating 3)
olive oil
sea salt
ground black pepper

Season the quails inside and out very thoroughly, being especially heavy
on the salt. In a hot frying pan, with a small splash of olive oil,
brown the quails all over. When you are satisfied with their colour
place them onto a lightly oiled roasting tray and place in a hot oven
for 20 minutes or so.

Despite the quail's fragile reputation it is robust when it comes to
cooking, not having the drying out potential of the partridge or the
angst of getting the perfect moment of blush in a grouse breast. The
quail wants plenty of cooking, to the point that its legs can be pulled
easily from the ribcage, and the flesh sucked off the leg bone. Salty
and well done, serve the quail in a bowl in the middle of the table and
encourage some hand-on eating.

Serve with a bowl of lentils or simply a watercress salad.
