Thursday Threesome

Onesome: Family- Hmmm... It seems like this weekend is a get together time for some people. How about you? Do you have a family gig to attend this weekend? Hosting one? ...or are you spending the weekend doing weekend things?

No weekend get-togethers here. We haven't even decided on Easter dinner yet. When I was a kid it was a big family thing: we'd have dinner (ham) at home then go to my grandfather's house. My mom would make rice pies (something, for all my love of rice in soup, I never liked) and of course wine biscuits, and the aunts all did the same. One brave aunt who didn't mind all the work might make wandis, which are delicious fried pastries--think of a long three-inch wide strip of dough that has been wound in and out of itself so it is like a big loose knot which is deep fried to a golden yellow and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. I'd shake most of the sugar off and crunch away...

Twosome: Waffle- Okay, here's the tough one: Waffles or Pancakes? You should hear the discussions in some households! ...and what about those Belgian things? Inquiring minds want to know!

Biscuits! Seriously, James makes biscuits on Sunday morning. When I go to the IHOP I sometimes have pancakes. The Silver Dollar ones are all I can finish. We've gotten Aunt Jemima waffles for at home but most of the time if we do that we buy French toast.

Threesome: & Grill- The outdoor cooking season is close at hand! For those who live large outdoors, are we talking grilling or barbecuing? If you enjoy cooking outside, what is your specialty? ...and for the indoor crowd: do you cook anything reminiscent of outdoor cookery?

James likes to grill, but we do it inside on the George Foreman grill. There's no real place outside we can grill without being attacked by mosquitos and the grill died a couple of years back anyway. We've never been able to justify spending the money on a new one because of not wanting to spend all that long in the yard.
