Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

"The Drinking Man's B&G"

For those who believe that the three basic food groups are beer, chips and dip: A real cowboy breakfast from B&G Cowboy Chef Chuck Green. Here's his recipe for 24 servings of this delicious and supremely healthful breakfast - or lunch, or night-time snack. (Thanks, reader)

We have written about that disgusting Hot Dog Gravy they like to make in eastern Kentucky. This recipe is a better idea.

Golly good gracious what a wonderful recipe for B & G.

Next to pies they are my favorite. I would make one change and that is the Jimmy Dean sausage ....get the HOT kind as it adds a bit more zip to the without resorting to Tobasco which tends to overwhelm.

Samantha,

So silly...you. Not everyone's palate is happy with hotness. Put the Tabasco on the table with the ketchup, molasses, sugar, salt 'n pepper, mustard, and cigarettes. That way each to his own hotness.

Goodness, girl, you'd have everyone fanning themselves with their table linens.

''...fanning themselves with their table linens''

You know, both my husband and I have a long family history in eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia. He was born in Virginia and grew up in East kentucky. I went to Berea college. My mom was born in Eastern Kentucky and lived there for awhile and we all have relatives still there. We have never heard of, spoken about or even seen, yet alone, attempted to eat "hot dog gravy," which I agree, sounds truly disgusting. NOt sure how you ran across it, but I am sorry you missed out on the better foods that day. As you know, the dining can be good there and the recipes a mainstay for years to come. PS - I love your food items in the blog. I have made several of the recipes and they go over extremely well with the whole family.

Hot dog gravy? Sounds pretty dang exotique to this guy out in Seattle. Yummy too, actually, in a subversive anti PC food police kinda way. How 'bout a recipe?

Is this dog gravy halal?

I receive a US goverment money for a business in Iraq for a food import.

Yes, pig very halal.

Unless you are eating with spoon.
#5.1 Leag on 2008-01-22 15:39 (Reply)
uhh. no. pig isnt halal in any way you eat it. eating something without a spoon doesnt make anything halal.

also...why would something we werent even allowed to SAY be halal?

its those people who THINK they are muslims that say that pig is halal if u eat it with ur fingers just because they dont have the will power to neglect eating something the rest of the world eats.

Ali, if it's about will power you lose.

Try some pigs feet.

Hmm, good.

Dog food is halal, if eaten with fingers.
