Wow! Can you imagine how small someones hands have to be, to milk an almond?

Sounds good, would like to have the recipe for the apple cider gravy?

[Jimmyq]

Not tonight's dinner but rather yesterdays. Fire baked spuds, pork chops and a bit of dressing free ( I forgot it) 'salad'. Then after he ate his plate full the boy got serious about some Jiffy Pop. 101_6347 (Large).jpg101_6351 (Large).JPG101_6363 (Large).JPG

Nice Grrlscout. How'd you get those biscuits looking so good?

I made orange marmalade glazed pork chops, rice and green beans.

[Hevijunk]

Welder , the gravy is actually made from the drippings/juice from the boneless pork ribs, I guess the whole recipes would help, huh :-/ . Start with a couple pounds of bonless pork ribs, a large bag of sour kraut drained , a large onion sliced, 2-3 apples peeled cored and sliced , I prefer granny smith, a couple table spoons of brown sugar and a cup of apple cider or apple juice , either works well. Start by layer the onions, kraut, ribs and apples into a good size crockpot, then sprinkle over with the brown sugar and pour over the apple cider/juice. I find that cooking on low for 6-7 hrs works best , for my crockpot. When done thicken juice with corn starch/flour. A good loaf of rye or pumpernickle bread goes well with it .

Thanks! I used a variant of Bittman's recipe for buttermilk / yogurt biscuits.

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
.5 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 Tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons greek yogurt, thinned with a little milk - or regular yogurt. I just happened to have greek. You could also use buttermilk.

Cut the butter into smal cubes, and chill thoroughly.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine your dry ingredients. Add butter and work it in with your hands, until it's a fine crumble. Or you can pulse it in a food processor.
Stir in yogurt just until dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Dough will be sticky. Knead dough 10 times and shape into a rectangle, 3/4-inch thick.
Cut with a biscuit cutter, or make as drop biscuits. Dough should yield about 10 to 14 biscuits.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until golden brown.

FOR THE RECORD, today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Day. In honor of this event, I'm planning on a 2" thick sandwich using Skippy Smooth and Smucker's Raspberry Jam in between 2 fresh, soft slices of Martin's Dutch Style Potato Bread. Of course, reflecting back on my childhood preferences, I'll even cut the crust off of the bread.

This gourmet presentation will be washed down with a tall ice cold glass of Ovaltine Chocolate Milk.
