One can't make an edible Cornish Pasty without turnips! :) Turnips are also known as 'Swedes' which offends my Swedish husband to no end. I tell him, "If the turnip fits..." LOL!

I still love meatloaf,beef stew,and the occasional Lindt chocolate bar.
I still can’t get past that sentence that says I have to prepare ONE THOUSAND AND NINETY-FIVE friggin’ meals this year! Aarrgghh!
Actually, I love to cook. I had Baked Eggs (from my own laying hens) and homemade (made by ME) bread/toast for supper tonight. Total comfort food.
The sourdough ‘sponge’ for Ciabatta bread tomorrow is cookin’ on the counter as I type.
Life is grand. :)
I cleaned out the pantry today (I’ve been stuck home with a back injury; I was bored, LOL!) and found a Cadbury ‘Royal Dark’ bar. Score! :)
Think i’m going to go with lots more cold weather and root crops in the garden this year. Back to the Michigan basics.
I do love butter fried parsnips and don’t think I’ve had them since the early to mid 90s when my great grandmother died.

Pass the chocolate!
My great grandmother grew up on a farm near Traverse City in Mancelona. We ate a lot of the same stuff that’s in a pasty minus the wrap but I assume that’s because she was German and not Welsh.
I’m German. It took me a while to get into ‘wrapping’ my food in pastry or potato pancakes once I started cooking for ‘The Turnip’ (as he is AFFECTIONATELY called...)
However, I make a mean Sauerbraten...and that’s basically beef wrapped around a pickle, LOL!
Meat on the outside = Good.
Meat inside a crust = Bad.
BINGO !!!!!!
Is Spam considered sustainable?
My great grandmother used to make her own sauerkraut. Bet there weren’t too many kids around who liked sauerkraut let alone knew how to make it in the big clay crocks.
If there is a word that should be banned from the lexicon, it is "sustainable."
Well, I know for a FACT that in my Army days I was eating canned food back from before I was born, LOL!
However, Hormel says of SPAM:
“The processing techniques utilized by Hormel Foods makes the canned product safe for use indefinitely if the product seal remains intact, unbroken and securely attached to a can that has been well maintained.”
So, pretty much forever; that’s the utmost in ‘sustainability’ IMHO, LOL! :)

Soup & cornbread
Beans & cornbread
My favorite is Martha White’s Sweet Yellow..... do you have Martha White in the frozen north.
I've seen it at Wal-Mart. I'll test drive a package next time I go there. Anything has to be better than that horrid Jiffy Mix Cornbread, LOL! :)
Cool. I’m having a very tasty homemade Spam spread right now!
2010 may give “Lean Cuisine” a whole new meaning.
