I did that "Open a Random Cookbook to a Random Page" again today..,.

[Sqwertz]

Apparently I've got The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on my cookbook
shelves.

This particular cookbook is full of so many disgusting things it's
fucking hilarious!

I thought this random cookbook/page flip was especially fitting
since on Saturday night I asked Ed what "ground ham" would be used
for. And on Sunday Cindy replied "Ham Loaf". And on Monday I
opened up this page:

Now tell me there's no God up there laughing his ass off!

I was busy laughing and mocking the first recipe, that when I
glanced at the title of the second recipe I was literally ROTFLMAO.
WHY OH WHY would you want to FAKE the first recipe, fod God's Sake!

And then I read that second recipe and saw whole hot dogs in a sweet
ground beef loaf and I lost my breath, and then consciousness
laughing so hard.

I'm gonna scan this whole book. It's worse than anything else you've
ever seen. It's so hilarious it must be a cult classic if it's on
it's 38th printing in only 7 years!

We have my mother-in-law's church cookbook on the shelf, simply
because my husband is sentimental. We certainly never open it.

Some are worth a browse and even the occasional idea. You have to skip
over the Kielbasa in Grape Jelly though. Most of us here laugh, but
those meals are served to millions every day.

I avoid church suppers and pot lucks too. If you are lucky, there is a
simple cheese platter to nibble on until you can get away and go out for
dinner.

Not sure on his, but believe it or not, here many of the 'soup
kitchens' are very good!

He probably means a church soup lunch. Very common in the USA to have a
sort of 'social' (sedate party) after church, often outside but may not
be. Various church go'ers bring soups that are home made. Normally
very good to 'outstanding'.

BTW, 'Supper' normally means a light meal while 'Dinner' is a full
meal. Lots of variation in the USA on it but in older times, 'about
noon' was a heavy meal (Dinner) while a later lighter meal (supper)
was eaten towards the evening. Today, the later meal name in
interchangeable depending on what part of the county you are in here
with probably most using 'Lunch' and 'Dinner'. Supper is generally
understood if used, for the evening meal but no longer is always a
lighter meal.

Yes, I see people in RFC use "supper" for "dinner". In Australia,
certain types of people -like Jebus- call dinner "tea". "Don't disturb
the wife. She's cooking me tea."

I did learn about this some time ago. Since I work in the evenings, I
normally eat this way. Light meals or leftovers for supper, but dinner
is in the early afternoon. It's really a more sensible way to eat,
considering that there is no nutritional need for a large meal in the
evening.

IIRC, the term "supper" actually stems from "soup", as in, before
refrigeration, left overs, meat bones, etc from the noon dinner were
turned into a soup or otherwise light meal for the evening. My
grandparents regularly use term "supper" for the evening meal, that's
just normal for me. "Dinner" seems to be more common now for the
evening meal.

Churches are much bigger in your culture than in mine. I had never
heard of church lunches, church soup and whatever y'all do with your
church, before RFC. I wasn't pushing buttons. Please remember, that
not everybody is American.

Another interesting note, regardless of how people eat their normal
weekday meals, it's almost entirely uniform in the USA to have
"Christmas Dinner", "Thanksgiving Dinner", or other formal large meal at
noon or early afternoon. I assume this stems from the old style of the
large meal in mid-day (although it aids in people visiting and traveling
to save the daylight hours). My family always started cooking the main
formal dinner early in the day.

I'm doing this for you, Michael. I read to the end of the thread and
"nobody" mentioned meatballs in grape jelly. There's been well over a
thousand posts on that subject in the past.
Don't let Michael down. Let's get crackin' folks! ;)
FWIW, I like a couple at a party, not for a meal, and they're not
difficult to make with a crock-pot. I'm sure that kielbasa is even
easier.

I've never been to a bad church supper, and have certainly never heard
of kielbasa in jelly... ick. I don't know, but I guess Presbyterians
can cook! I'd look forward to that over most restaurant meals.

I'm doing this for you, Michael. I read to the end of the thread and
"nobody" mentioned meatballs in grape jelly. There's been well over a
thousand posts on that subject in the past.

Smile, it works mixed with another sauce for meatball/sausage balls in
a crockpot. Not sure on Kielbasa. I'd tend more to mustard bases there.

Apparently I've got The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on my cookbook
shelves.
This particular cookbook is full of so many disgusting things it's
fucking hilarious!

We have my mother-in-law's church cookbook on the shelf, simply
because my husband is sentimental. We certainly never open it.

Some are worth a browse and even the occasional idea. You have to skip
over the Kielbasa in Grape Jelly though. Most of us here laugh, but
those meals are served to millions every day.

Kielbasa in grape jelly? I've never seen grape jelly and before I
moved to Australia, I'd never heard of kielbasa.

You wouldn't like kielbasa, it's dead animal. Tastes great to me with
sauerkraut!

I know, it's some kind of sausage, I believe.

And turnip greens, too. I usually do a bit of browning before tossing
the slices in with the greens.

I avoid church suppers and pot lucks too. If you are lucky, there is a
simple cheese platter to nibble on until you can get away and go out for
dinner.

I figure it's a beatitudes thing. Like the shittier you eat in this life,
the better you'll eat in the afterlife.

*Blessed are those who eat the shitty food at the church potluck,
for the finest delicacies shall be laid out for them in Heaven.*
I bet Jesus even said something of the sort, and Matthew just
failed to write it down. There's only so fast you can take notes
with a quill on a papyrus scroll.

I have a few regional church cookbooks. These are mostly old family

recipes. Don't ignore them...at least give them all a look.

These are where you'll find the old "gramma's recipes" that so many
remember and love.

No. Just no. I don't remember and love any old family recipes. I don't
eat those kinds of things. I want bright, light, clean, fresh flavors.
Not stodgy old family recipes.

I've been taking a look at this one recently:

I've only ever sought out, bought and kept one set of cookbooks and
that's Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

Good choice. I'm not interested in French cooking; I had to learn
everything I know about the mother sauces "on the street". My
Hollandaise still isn't anything to brag about.

Going back 10-14 years ago, I used to cook a lot of recipes out of
those books. Did a lot of 'serious' time consuming cooking with my
then-girlfriend. These days, my wife does 95% of the cooking, at least
now my time is freed up to do more work around the property.

I mostly look for recipes online these days. I can't recall if my most
recent cookbook purchase was Bittman's How to Cook Everything
or if it was Roden's The New Book of Middle Eastern Food.

Yep, online is all I need these days.
