    Long day at work, damp and chilly outside, no grilled or light summer foods tonight. Chicken gravy and biscuits (and a few beers) are just what it took to make the world right for me today.

    What has everyone else been making?

    In pie crust I use lard (or for frying potatoes). In biscuits I make out best if I use very cold straight butter.

    Can't beat lard in general though. Despite it's poor reputation, it's about 1/2 the saturated fat of butter and has no trans fats. Not sayin' it's health food, but I'm not downing it daily either. Definitely underutilized IMO.

    For lunch today I made a chicken vegetable soup with lentils, barley, amish noodles, tortellini and shredded parm cheese on top. A hunk of fresh french bread, not made by me,
    and a Sam lager to wash it down. Heading for a second bowl soon. It is raw 50::F outside with an northeasterly wind off the ocean. Steady drizzle too, with a small fire going to chase the chill.

    Well, gosh, let's see. Oh yeah, just the other day I made the trip over to the pizza place to pick up my order. Heck, I make stuff like that all the time. Leftovers will be gone this evening, so time to make another trip. :rolleyes:
