It’s been a few years since we’ve seen this A&J from 1993. Have you ever noticed how many of those quickie casserole recipes on Facebook include potatoes, cheese, ham or bacon, corn, sour cream and a variable ingredient or two? Of course they’ll be good! Most of the Kickstarter rewards that were scheduled for delivery in October have been sent. The T shirts did not go out until Monday, the last day of the month, so if you’re expecting a T, it might not have arrived yet. It should soon. However! The original sketches have not gone out yet. They will be sent by this time next week. I apologize for the delay; I’m sure you won’t have much trouble speculating about its cause.

From a previous post: French spelling = de rigueur. Last line of above song should be:
“I’m an 8th Old Man named ‘Enery, / ‘Enery the 8th I a-a-a-am, ‘Enery the 8th I am.’ ”
The song is on an LP, ” ‘Ere’s Holloway [or ‘Olloway]” and is one of a few in a “Harry Champion Medley”, author Harry Champion. Our kids grew up singing those and similar songs, some German, on car trips, and listening to 4 or 5 Holloway LPs, + Gilbert & Sullivan, My Fair Lady, Chad Mitchell Trio, German drinking songs [Eric Kunz?], Sing Along with Mitch, and multiple classical LPs.
Peace,
emb: I remember the song from one of the ’60s British Invasion groups, Herman and the Hermits. Wikipedia says the song is from the early 1900s – wow!
Good comic relief ditty.
I recall the “House of Blue Lights” and, even more, “‘Enry the Eighth”.
Today’s strip, “The Buckets”, is right on!!
Not to mention “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose”….
Lunch was delicious, cream of mushroom and wild rice chicken soup, big chopped salad and fresh baked sour dough bread and left over corn and cheese muffins.
Now slicing peppers, onions and squash to cook with the grilled Chipotle sirloin steak. With Naan garlic bread and some beans and rice, sort of Cajun style. Dinner and leftovers.
emb, you had some lucky kids!
Jackie, I believe green lights to show support for our veterans is a recent tradition, but certainly a worthwhile one.
I’m making a casserole of sorts tonight: slow-cooked pulled chicken, onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, rice, and seasonings. And a little Monterey Jack and cheddar melted on top at the end because, well, it’s good that way.
Thinking about casseroles as I drove. I remember my aunt from California teaching us to make goulash, a former of casserole, and another that involved elbow macaroni, ground meat, corn, black olives, tomato and cheese. So, a form of casserole. The only two I remember.
Actually we thought them quite exotic. I cannot remember name of latter but I can still cook it I bet!
Here, Friday night is frozen pizza night! Today, it is pepperoni with additional pepperoni to cover all the surface, plus a load of extra cheese on top. Yumm.
Dietetic? Somewhere there MUST be a diet which prescribes cheese/pepperoni pizza.
Really? Double cheese, double pepperoni!
Smigz: Thanks. When you factor in Elaine, they sure were. I think they realize it. Peace,
OK, who’s got a recipe for pepperoni pizza casserole? Oh, wait; that’s deep dish pizza, right?
I never did get my Oysters Rockefeller I was jonesing for.
Well, the punctures in my back seem to have sealed adequately. No headaches, nausea, or other possible side effects. On with life!
Ever have Rockefeller as a casserole? I used to bake them in individual shallow ramekins, about six per, serve them as appetizers with buttered French bread toasts.
When we had big parties I’d serve them in silver chafing dishes and you had to serve yourself.
Bienville is good that way.
This is kind of fun – http://digg.com/video/cubs-world-series-chicago-sounds
Be sure to turn up your speakers.
There is a local pizza emporium which makes ’em a lot better than I do, but the costs are several times as great and the time factors in, too. Had we gone out to eat tonight, I would have missed winning an auction lot in which my bid of $52. won over $111. in mint postage.
In truth, I likely have more postage on hand than I and my heirs will ever use, but I do love a bargain, and the old stamps make my greeting cards [& bills] rather more interesting to the recipient. Sending wrapped gifts affords a greater usage of old stamps, too – sometimes to the bemusement of the postal clerk.
Ended up with mushroom ravioli in a pepper, spinach, kale and marinara sauce, mixed new greens salad and sour dough bread for dinner. Having second glass of red wine and planning tomorrow’s dinner and lunch. Did lots of prep tonight to make putting together easier.
I often feed my workmen if I am around or leave foods they can put together for lunches. If I am here I eat with them. Am really enjoying the outdoor living room on the enclosed patio and they are too. It turned out beautiful.
The butterfly garden makes us all happy. They flutter and feed constantly, so many kinds, unafraid of us.
Llee, if I came and got you, would you be able to travel here? You would love the flowers, birds and butterflies and could draw or do photos to work from. And cats.
^^^^^^^^^ home pizza baker. Make scratch pizza dough, top with: sauce, pepperoni, fresh mozzarella, and pizza cheese blend. If I haven’t mentioned, find cooking very therapeutic and relaxing; plus I see results in a reasonable time frame. Most of my work is long-term projects or components of something I am not party to at the finish line.
During the Vietnam War I baked cookies. Thousands of cookies to be shipped to the hospitals and Red Cross field units. It was the thing I could do to stay sane from my job of paying for death and ruined lives.
Cooking is always therapeutic if you approach it that way.
Tonight’s common casserole; maybe I’ve described it before. Get downtown Chinese takeout: pt. of egg fried rice, pt. of eggdrop soup. Mix in large nukable bowl. Add small can mushrooms and small can waterpack tuna, with canned fluids.
Steam one sweet pepper, chopped; one onion chopped; some cauliflower [pok choy is good, if on sale]; 1/2 or 1/3 cut up zucchini. [C’flower and onion, 13 min., pepper 9-10, zucc. 5-6. Sweet pepper was red, so did not add a half [28 oz.] can of diced tomatoes.
Nuke mix already in bowl at ‘reheat casserole’. Mix together with veggies, parcel out into 3 1-serving bowls. Ate one, put 1 in fridge, other in freezer, = supper every other night. Pulled chicken or other meats or w-pack sardines, or other source of protein, or none.
Accompanied with a Summit Finnegans Amber Ale [‘All profits go to feed the hungry’]. I’d prefer ‘Finnegan’s’ but they didn’t ask me. Decaf while reading the online Strib. Later, 8 oz. of ‘extreme moose tracks’ ice cream. Bed

Today’ strip: we who sleep in exercise a fatal fascination upon you who don’t. 😉
Yay, TruckerRon! Great news!
