How do you make a red gravy with sausage? Does it need to be fresh sausage or do you use smoked? The only way I have ever done it is browning down beef and building a regular gravy with onions and beef broth and then adding tomato sauce before simmering. Is that about it or is there someth...

I f you have never been to an Old Chicago, it is a cool place to go to. Yes it is a chain, and yes I understand that chains suck, but Old Chicago does have some good beers and a cool vibe. The food isn’t bad either. ...

[quote]Recently stopped at Rabideaux's Sausage in Iowa. It was damn good.[/quote] Rabideauxs is by far the best, most consistent, and most available commercial sausage. They have somehow maintained quality through their expansion. 10/10. Others may be just as good but none are better. ...

I have a GE dryer. Model : GTD42EASJ2WW. It is 13 months old. 2 weeks ago, it ran (tumbled) for 24 hours straight before we realized that it was malfunctioning. Prior to this, we had no problems. I noticed that the timer was not advancing. I replaced the timer assembly ($130) by ordering t...

[quote]never had it at The Cottage but looked up pics on FB. I'm guessing the base is a bechamel sauce which can be thickened using heavy whipping cream instead of milk.

Sorry it took so long to answer but this is a thick slice of buttered French bread with a boudin patty topped with poached eggs and gumbo. I’ve had it before and I must say that I think they forgot the boudin patty in this one because I didn’t taste it. ...

[img]https://i.imgur.com/tX61x2A.jpg[/img] My gumbo is delicious and dark but it is a thinner, souplike consistency. I want to learn how to make this dark, rich, thicker variety. Any tips, or even better, any recipes that spell out how to make this creole gumbo? This is the Cajun Benedict from...

[quote]would hope nobody is that stupid to open an attic access from inside the house [/quote] I was sitting here reading these responses and thinking to myself “what are these dumbasses doing? There is no way that is a worthwhile thing to do!” It wasn’t until someone pointed out that attic ac...

[quote]Egg drop soup, something that seams so simple and I can never get that ribbon effect with my eggs[/quote] The trick is to swirl the soup like a fast whirlpool and then pour the eggs in slowly. ...

[img]https://i.imgur.com/rUq4Cxt.jpg[/img] I made a pot of rice with rice vinegar and salt. I then made a simple glaze with toasted sesame oil and soy sauce. After the rice was cooked, I spread it out and allowed it to cool. I then sliced bacon flavored spam and fried it. When I got a g...
