You guys are really really really boring tonight. Somebody needs to argue with someone or something. I'm getting tempted to say hi to the boss crowd again.

 

I was going to earlier in this thread. Thought about posting this:

"How about SHBAS?"

Which would have elicited a reply, which I would have followed with "Should Have Bought A Shelby"


But I decided to give Scott a break and not start a ****storm.

 

A mustang without a snake is just a mustang.

 

Anyone want to guess which language this is? Someone posted it on one of my youtube videos. Took me a while to figure it out.

"Tack så mycket"

Edit, there's actually two possible languages.

 

Okay, i'm from the north... what is a dumpling? I've heard of chicken and dumplings, but don't know what a dumpling is made of.

 

You're welcome!

 

Not quite what I got...

 

Well I handed over the title to them so it was theres but I was go9ing to talk to them about getting her back cuz I regreted doing that.

Ummm dont you have to have brains to have any left?

 

Easy way to explain it, biscuits.

 

I was gonna say ravioli

 

The biscuit gets boiled and or steamed instead of baked.

But the ingredients are the same as a biscuit.

Unfortunately for most restaurants chicken and dumplings is a soup because thats the easy way, but the way my grandmother made it she boiled a chicken in a pot od water and then placed the biscuit dough on top of the chicken. Careful that it didnt fall in the broth as is boiled and cooked the chicken. The dumplings would get steamed and cooked that way. Then she set them aside, deboned the chicken and seasoned and thickened the broth to a light gravy type consistency with the chicken pieces Then she laid the cloud like dumplings in a dish and poured the chicken all over the top of it.

This way the dumplings were never soggy but they were soft.

 

Well I'm off to rig up my second AUX reverse light. It's amazing being able to back up and having the equivalent of headlights sitting on my back bumper

 

The way my Mom made them (midwest) was basically roll out dough (flour, water, shortening) like a thick pie crust, cut them into strips, drop them in boiling chicken broth (water that was left over from boiling chicken).

I never really liked them cause they were slimy and I hate boiled meat. (I'm a Griller!!) So lots of gravy!

Looking up a recipe online looks more like drop biscuits that are boiled instead of baked. I guess I've never had real Southern dumplings. Gary's post sounds better than my Mom's (don't tell her I said that!).

As for ravi's, I used to deliver to this landmark Italian restaurant in Mt. Shasta where they made homemade ravioli's (for their and other restaurants). They would make a dough, place it on a machine with a large 36" square board with a roller on top, hand roll the dough to spread across the board and lap over the roller.
Then they would hand crank the roller so the dough stretched real thin. Then spread their filling all over. Then place the top layer of dough and press around the edges.
Then they had this big rolling pin with hollow chambers. They would roll the pin and BOOM! 144 Ravi's!!

I loved watching and listening to these old Ital gals chatter while they worked, but I really loved eating those ravi's!!!! They were my best spice customer.

 

And a Mustang without anything is a... Bullitt!

 

 

Ha ha. I like that.

 

Sorry, but boiled chicken sounds like one of the nastiest things I would never eat.

 

oddness ........
