Please don't ever send me scrapple.

I'll take an order... extra oink in mine please!

Like haggis but with more flavor.

I hate you people talking about food, and I'm on this stinking diet!!!! Thankfully it will only be us on Thanksgiving but still, that's the one day a year I really pig out. However DW and I both reached a point were it was go buy new clothes or drop some pounds. I will admit I ran the mental calculations on clothes more then once before I agreed to the diet. We both are on steroids of one sort or another, so being hungry all the time was no help on the waistline.

SWince getting the job at the store over a year ago, I have gone from 40 inch waist down to 36.
I have dropped better than 20 pounds. Still have a gut and we will pig out on Turkey and Mashed Taters and Gravy and Sweet taters etc. Velveeta might be good in Mac and Cheese. But it makes LOUSY hot dog cheese.

I was at the grocery store earlier, and the place was already a zoo!

I need to go later today for non-Thanksgiving-related items, and I'm dreading it.

Ugh. I went Sunday night so I could avoid the stores today and tomorrow. If you go after 8pm it's really not that bad.

My dad and older brother enjoy scrapple, and it’s one of their regional foods my mom has a pretty easy time convincing the commissary on the base to carry. I’ve never developed a taste for it...the texture is incredibly unpleasant, haha.

I have a full shopping list now. I need to decide how much time/effort I want to put into the charcuterie. The price point on the cheeses at Trader Joe’s is way better than the local cheese shop or than Stop and Shop or Big Y, but it’s a 45 minute ride. We’ll see how today goes, I guess.

My Mac and cheese mix will likely come from Stop and Shop though...they sell deli cheese ends in a “Mac-and-cheese” blend that is a little of everything. It’s never repeatable, but its always delicious.

Don't forget the secret ingredient that no one talks about. If you want creamy mac and cheese you need to add some

Spoiler: don't look if you're a food snob

Velveeta.

No not velveeta! I was a past velveeta user. Two years ago I cut out the processed stuff, pasta, pork, beef, canned food, etc. Whole grains are now in. Slowly getting my husband on board so I don't have to cook 2 meals. We were at the store last week and he asked about the cheese in the box. He couldn't remember the name. He wanted it for grilled cheese sandwiches. After I asked But Why a few times he changed his mind.

No problem; I know it’s not for everyone.

That’s how I feel about bait sushi.

Mmmmm, sushi

Can you get sushi with extra oink?

You seem to know all about it, so why don't you tell me?

I don't... that's why I'm asking, but it sounds like it would be tasty. California Scrapple Rolls?

We just slice it thin, throw it on the griddle (or in a pan) and let it get crispy. Some folks will flour it first. It's got a little spice in it, so no need to add anything, IMO.

As well you should. It's officially cray-cray time.

God speed, man!

So, um, it was actually a fairly pleasant experience... In and out within 20 minutes or so. I mean, it was busy, but people were actually pretty nice. I went to a different supermarket (but same chain) as normal. Maybe people there are just nicer?

Dare I ask, what is the consistency of scrapple? I've never had it (nor will I ever). Just curious.

 

[stapo49]

I had to google this "scrapple" thing as I had never heard of it. Sounds like an American Haggis lol.

Morning all, freezing cold out and we have had our first snowfall of the year. Off to the vets in a bit as Susie has to have her booster jab, then hope to try out my new Fuji camera.

OMG!!! This X100F is just WOW, can`t wait to try it out tomorrow.

I own, use and love my X100T and was still tempted to buy the X100F. I just could not justify to spend another 1400€ on on a camera that is quite similar to the camera I spent 1400€ for fn 2015.

Have fun. Great canera!!!
