Yes, too many of those idiots here.
What really gets me specifically are those people who don't brush off their lights. So dangerous.

Glad to hear he's doing well. Best wishes to him on his new endeavors.

This is my favorite type of driver I see on the road after it snows. Morons!

It was very good & very filling. Here is the recipe I used from The Pioneer Woman. Hubby says I can make it again. LOL

Salisbury Steak
Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond

Meat Mixture:
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons dry mustard
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 cube beef bouillon, crumbled (or powdered beef base)
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Gravy:
1 whole onion, halved and thinly sliced (or diced if you prefer)
2 cups beef broth, more if needed for thinning
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon seasoning sauce, such as Kitchen Bouquet, optional
4 dashes Worcestershire
1 teaspoon cornstarch, optional
Salt and pepper

Directions
Watch how to make this recipe.
For the meat mixture: Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon and some salt and pepper. Knead until all combined. Form into 4 to 6 oval patties, and then make lines across the patties to give them a "steak" appearance.

Fry the patties in a skillet with the butter and oil over medium-high heat on both sides until no longer pink in the middle. Remove from the skillet and pour off any excess grease.

For the gravy: Reduce the heat to medium and add in the sliced onions. Stir and cook until golden brown and somewhat soft, for several minutes. Add the beef stock, ketchup, seasoning sauce, if using, and the Worcestershire. Then combine the cornstarch with a little beef broth and add to the sauce if using. Stir and cook to reduce.

Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and more broth if needed for thinning. Then return the patties to the gravy. Spoon the gravy over the top and let them simmer and heat back up for a couple of minutes.

*I also added mushrooms when I put the onion in to sauté

Yum! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much!

She has her dental surgery tomorrow. And I'm nervous already, been dreading it all week.
She will be there all day long, and will be quite frightened herself.

Please keep her in your prayers!

I will be sure to keep her in my thoughts tomorrow.

Good evening,

Finally a day that was back to normal, everyone back to school and work.
As MC, and Snowflakemom have said we are expecting snow in the Southern New England area, 2-4 inches in my neck of the woods.
Looks like a slow go into work in the morning.

I hope you all had a good day.

Goodnight, everyone.

I knew Brad liked his oreos...but are all those really his???

Well ....gave him enough to share with you guys.

Good Night MMC! Superbowl weekend is coming...

I can't wait!

 

[Festive Spirit]

Thank you!

I feel the same---I'd feel safer driving in bad weather if everyone were careful. Do you have idiots there who go on the roads without adequately clearing off their vehicles first? I guess they're everywhere, along with the idiots who drive as they would on dry roads.

Mr. is doing fine. He should be starting an extended temp job soon. The client is a financial institution, so he's waiting for them to complete a mandatory background check before they give him his start date.

Glad to hear Mr will be starting a job soon. Best of luck to him. Continued prayers for something permanent.
