What are you-ALL eating/cooking today?

We had been discussing SOS sometime back. I made it late this a.m. before
noon, so thought I'd post the pics of what mine usually looks like.

I most always add peas to mine, though. Leave out the peas for authentic
SOS, I guess.


Here is the brand I've always bought:
http://i1.tinypic.com/7w7bi2p.jpg

phew! nitrates - ugh! but only have it once in a while -- it still counts,
though.





Here's what it looks like all rolled up inside the jar. Take it out, cut
into whatever sized pieces you like. I put it in water to soak, but never
rinse it. Just dip it out of the water into the skillet. It is not salty
at all that way.

Home-made bread toasted (not quite the white bread that one usually
associates with SOS.)
I like toasted better than mushy untoasted white.

The final proof is in the eating. It was good.

This is my mom's version of SOS. It is quite good. I generally use fresh
mushrooms sautéed in a bit of butter. For the beef I use the thin-sliced
lunch meat that comes in 4 ounce pkgs.

Curried Chipped Beef and Mushrooms

3/4 pound chipped beef
1 4 oz can sliced mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups cold milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Combine milk and cornstarch. Bring to boil in a saucepan, stirring.
Slice chipped beef into small pieces. Add to sauce with other
ingredients.

Serve over toasted English muffins.

What do you have for breakfast when there's no power, you have cheerios and
milk and banana.

For lunch I grilled a pack of chicken tenders only with paprika, then
weighed out four ounces and put that on two slices of toast with Benecol
(fake butter). Testing BG before (100 mg/dl) and after lunch 1 hour (123
mg/dl) and 2 hours after.

Dinner will be the same as lunch minus 1/2 piece of toast. It's a diabetes
blood glucose good vs bad guy test of foods.

SOS sure sounds better only your version isn't heart or diabetes friendly.
Enjoy, ya lucky BUM!!!

I just finished the last of a batch of cheese scones I made yesterday,
for breakfast today. It's taken Agent Weasel till the age of nine to
realise that scones are good, and DH doesn't eat them. I'm used to
having scones to myself, now I have to share them. Oy, my life. Double
batches from now on.

Now you've done it, Dee Dee! There are going to be the "hamburger" vs.
"dried chipped beef" SOS wars all over again! LOL It's like the "Alfredo
vs. No Such Thing as Alfredo" wars.

Personally, I just buy Stouffer's frozen creamed chipped beef and serve it
over toast.

I think I was safe, as I think it's tooooo soon to start the SOS and Alfred
wars again. It can wait until after the first of the year.

Hate to burst your bubble, Don, but creamed chipped beef isn't made from
lunch meat and it certainly isn't curried. Maybe the military is stepping
it up a notch these days? Ever been in the military? Didn't think so. Are
you a military dependent who was served this as a child? Maybe... but your
if your mother added curry powder and mushroooms she either didn't know how
to cook it or couldn't stand it. I never actually developed a taste for
it until I was in my 20's.

Well, it's one of the things I'll try to get my father to eat when I'm there
next week. He's barely eating, pretty much won't get out of bed. I've got
a one way ticket and leave here on Monday. Don't know when I'll be back.
I'm going to help my Mom out more than anything. But he does remember the
creamed chipped beef version of SOS with fondness and Stouffer's makes a
good one

Wish I had eaten with you tonight!

AARP was offering a "driver's refresher course" which would lower your
insurance premium significantly. Cost $10 for a two-day 4 hr/day class.
David and I both went to it today and will go again tomorrow. The
discounted insurance rate will be well worth the time spent.

After the class ended at 4:00 pm we did our grocery shopping, then went to
a little diner type place for post roast and vegetables, and a slice of
coconut cream pie. Very tasty.

I actually sang this sentence in my mind while I was reading it.
"I'm leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again."
I hope that is not the case; that you will be back to your home soon, and
all will be well.

Oh, those horrendous classes. But one does learn something, doesn't one?

My yearly physical physican always asks me if I can still drive.
But I'm afraid if I took a refresher course, they would rip my license.

Yes, these classes will "keep on giving" discounts. You are doing the right
thing.

Here's the thing I failed on a drivers' license test and lost my pride. I
looked in the left-hand mirror instead of turning my head to the left. Is
that a rule there?


All in all, today was not a good day for me nutritionally. I snacked on
yogurt, carrots and blueberries, bananas while DH did all the shopping today
and ate up-town, so dinner here was non-existent; just Saturday night snack
food with recorded TV: potato-oven-fries, parm regg, pestachios, chocolate,
and wine --- burp! I'm ashamed! I'll do better tomorrow, I promise.

My license is good until 2010. Renewel only involves a vision test, no
driving or written tests.

I've never taken a driving exam here in AZ. When we moved from Ohio, our
Ohio licenses were transferable. I only had to take a vision test.

We did talk about using rear-view mirrors as well as turning ourhead and
looking around, but I don't know if that would be convered on an actual AZ
driving test.

He's 83. He's dying. I booked a one way ticket at Mom's request and I fly
out on Monday. It's a one way ticket. I'll be gone for however long she

I understand your feeling. There are things that I feel the same way about.
(see below)
Oh, my - if I had to put pearl onions in it, I'd upchuck them, too. We're
not so far apart :-))

That beef is really pathetic IMO, but it's just something that I have to
deal with. DH picks it up at the grocery, and it sits there until I can't
stand it anymore. Then comes one morning - what's for breakfast? Well,
"It's chipped beef."

He goes one further with the Spam -- it will sit there forever as far as I'm
concerned.
If you've lived in Hawaii, I need say no more.

Take care of yourself,

Many cured meats contain nitrates. And consumption of small amounts
is far safer than the risk of bacterial contamination from meat not
cured that way, according to what I've read.

We had cheese and salami croissant sandwiches for lunch. It was a
picnic over in a prairie preserve not far from here. Picnicking in
December! Imagine! The weather cooperated yesterday; today not so
much.

Last night I braised beef short ribs in wine and beef stock. I
started the braising liquid by frying a little of my pancetta. After
the braise, I reduced the liquid and added French mustard and
horseradish to it.

LOL You don't like meat in general! Doesn't matter if it's chipped beef!

Dad used to make creamed peas and serve them on toast. Now *that* makes me
shudder.
