Drjim gives a good weather report for our
area.
Decided to make hamburger gravy for
brunch. Reminded me of some Army
breakfasts circa 1960’s.
We would be in the field, cold German
winter, and the cooks in the mess truck would make hamburger gravy, scrambled
eggs, hash browns, and toast.
I would take out my canteen cup and layer
toast, hash browns and scrambled eggs topped off with hamburger gravy. Then the
canteen cup went back into the carrier and the food would stay hot for several
minutes.
Being a trooper with my shit together I
had three canteens (bought two). The second canteen cup and cover was for
coffee. The third was a backup.
Other than the dreaded Consolidated Mess
Hall, I ate well in the Army. Part of that, I believe, was the cooks lived in
the same barracks/tents as the troops they were feeding.
Soon it will be time to clean off the car
and run errands. Two of the ladies in our building have asked me to take them
to the grocery store (social security was paid out yesterday).

You old charmer, a double/tag team event.
Feed them SOS and beer to make them feel loved.
I was going to mention SOS, but LL beat me to it!
Snowing like crazy (1315) right now. I'm in full 'Winter Battle Rattle', and preparing to go move some snow.....
Don't worry about moving snow, DRJIM (or WSF - who is likely off on the town with his two women) The glaciers will move south no matter how you try to stop them ;^)
Ah, SOS... Still eat it when I find it. And you're gonna be up to your... in ladies if you keep going like this!

Reminds me of going back to college after the Army. I had the ultimate babe attracter, a place of my own (no roommates) with a washer and dryer.

Hope the snowblower works better this storm.

The ratio in this building, other than married couples, is about 5 to 1.
Loves me some SOS. My bride makes hamburger stroganoff to serve over rice or noodles. Guess what happens with the leftovers? Next morning's breakfast, a piece of toast, two eggs over medium, and a scoop of leftover stroganoff. Heavenly...
Sticks to your ribs.
