APPLESAUCE!?!?!?!?

groooooooooooooss

Hang around me and I'll cure you from being a food snob. No Spaghettio's involved. Just good hillbilly cookin.

I think most of the food I eat could fall under this category

Hey, I'm all for that. I love hillbilly food.

OK, you're all grossing me out. Food is NOT meant to be mixed together, otherwise they wouldn't have those plates with little sections. Corn, mashed potatoes and GRAVY? UGH!! I do like gravy on my mashed potatoes, but nothing else. My mother-in-law does that with kale, and it makes me nauseous to even SEE it.

Btw, I'm going to hell. I was in Costco, and they were giving out free samples of meatballs and burgers. I took some, knowing it was Friday, and not caring because it was 1. Free and 2. I was starving.

Tonight it's linguini with fresh shrimp and fresh little neck clams, and some home made italian semolina garlic bread.

I enjoy mixing food in my mashed potatoes and gravy a la shepherd's pie.

Here's a good one. Mashed potatoes are a must with homemade pork and sauerkraut, and when you combine the pork, sauerkraut and potatoes, it becomes heavenly.

Shepherds Pie is delicious!

A big favourite in my house

Tonight we had home made corned beef,onion and potato pies!
With chips!

Et tu Klydon??

I do love Sheperd's Pie. I actually made one a few months ago when I couldn't bear the thought of another meatloaf or burgers. Came out pretty good, if I do say so myself.

That's probably why that one girl got eliminated on Idol cuz she seperated her food.

Don Cardi, my apprehension to drive on a friday during the late afternoon is because of all the maniacs out there in the tri-state area, traffic in this area sux on a friday afternoon -- its not because I am orthodox and observing the sabbath! I wonder if traffic on the cross bronx will be rational on a sunday afternoon, I'm dying for this pizza!

Last night I made a lasagne, with a tad chili in it. Possibly the greatest thing I've ever tasted ever.

It had absolutely nothing to do with the sabbath!

You totally missed what I meant.

Maybe what I should have said was "So you're willing to drive on a friday for pizza but NOT on a saturday?"

It was intended as an inside joke. Think about it.

Sketti tonight

Ah, because I didnt want to go to brooklyn during a flood for pizza this saturday?? lol. Na, the fact is Friday was always reserved as pizza night in my family. But according to some survey, pizza's most popular night in the USA is saturday. Tonight I had the leftover meatballs and "gravy" from what I made last week, still about 10 more servings in the freezer lol.

We grilled some boneless pork chops and had egg noodles and spinach with it.

And the night of the year that the most Pizzas are delivered and sold in the USA is on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. I believe that Ash Wednesday is second.

I would have guessed Good Friday would be way up there. I know that the line's out the door at our local place on Good Friday.

But I think that most Catholics, especially Italians, are more likely to stick to tradition and cook pasta and fish on Good Friday.

I know Catholics are supposed to fast on Ash Wednesday (only one full meal), I thought it was Good Friday too, I really only have one meal a day anyway unless you consider toast or a bagel a meal for lunch lol.

Tonight I had a sitdown with an associate, we had Italian in a stripmall, out of a dozen places, they make the most decent slice of pizza, so I decided to give their barren dining room a try -- had the lasagna... not bad, not great, but butter than most places, the garlic bread was tasteless but at those prices and a hole in the wall like that, its fine for a casual meal when you have to discuss private & sensitive business matters... those places are priceless in my book lol.

I still think Super Bowl Sunday has to be #1, but i don't have any figures.

Many of the mom and pop pizza shops where I grew up were packed every Friday, but during Lent they would keep the phones off the hook.

Klyd,

I believe that I once read a survey about this and that is where I remember Thanksgiving Eve being mentioned as the biggest PIZZA night of the year.

If I'm not mistaken, Super Bowl Sunday was mentioned as actually the biggest OVERALL "Catering / Take out" day of the year in general.

A Google search says Super Sunday is the busiest pizza day of the year and Halloween is generally accepted as the #2 day (although some areas claim Christmas Eve).

Papa John's ( ) lists Thanksgiving Eve as one of the three busiest delivery days.

Based on Pizza Hut deliveries, correct?

I guess that it would really be almost impossible to survey ALL of the NON commercial local pizza places, so the only thing that they could really go off of are the chain Pizza places.

Thanks for clearing that up SC.

You were right Klyd.

I guess it's an inexact science. It's funny we were discussing this because I heard on the radio that the busiest day for KFC is Mother's Day. Go figure. For my mom, I kick it up a few notches and take her to Wendy's. : )

You're a good son Klyd

Tonight I coated catfish fillets in seasoned flour (cayenne pepper and seasoned salt, mostly), fried them in canola oil, and made some rice and broccoli. It was delicious, if I do say so myself.

leftover Fettucini Alfreddie w/ham

What's Fettucini Alfreddie??

It's what Fredo became to the fishes.
