Sex & Shenanigans

[Lonelywife1205]

Morning 1205. How’s your morning going so far?

Well, I’m not a morning person, so let’s start there.

Should be a good day though. Lots of baseball and there’s nowhere I’d rather be than watching my boy do what he loves.

 

[RosewoodTulip]

You’re right. Goes to my sthu corner. Cause I’m off topic

No need to sthu
It was an interesting chat

I’m not a morning person either. Doesn’t help it’s 5am and I’m wide awake.

I didn't realise gravy was so different for you guys either

I realise this topic is neither sexy or has shenanigans

Gravy means vastly different things to different americans.

Where I came from, it's a thick smooth brown or khaki thing that goes over meat, usually poultry. In other places, it's grey and chunky and you pour it over biscuits (not the British kind of biscuit) as a hearty breakfast. Where I live now, there are many people who use the term to refer to what you'd put on spaghetti out of a Ragu jar. But the kind of people who call that "gravy" would never use a jar; they'd do their "gravy" from scratch. I'd call that "sauce."

We're complicated people.

That's helpful and confusing all at once

Thank you

I've enjoyed Biscuits And Gravy for breakfast, usually in the South, but I don't know whether any other country actually uses that kind of biscuit for anything.




A bit monochrome, maybe, but very filling.

That actually looks really good! You said "grey and chunky" and I did not get a nice mental image

Biscuits and gravy I had it once. Never again.

Biscuits and gravy I had it once. Never again.

I had one as part of a hotel breakfast once and the biscuits felt like hockey pucks.

If you get it made by someone who knows what they're doing, it's delightful. But not for people who aren't used to a large breakfast. It's a deceptive dish. If you're normally a person who prefers a lighter meal in the morning, it's easy to go overboard with B&G. "Oh, hell, it's only two biscuits..."

Yeah. No. Two bites is plenty.

Oh I can eat.
The time I ate biscuits and gravy. I was going on road trip with my father. We stopped and stayed overnight. Got up and got breakfast. I’d never had biscuits and gravy. Figured WTH. 1-2 hours later I was telling father to pull over.

It’s been a long time since I’ve made this. I want to now

And that’s why I haven’t made it in forever. It’s motherfucking filling, and my breakfast usually consists of coffee

That looks like porridge

 

[LittleSwitchy]

Now if we’re talking scrambled eggs and grits. I’m all over that.

Oh stop it. I’m already at work, I can’t eat yet!

 

[Dubinsky]

It's crumbled sausage in a really thick roux, but I don't know what it's flavored with. I'm not from that part of the country.

Dare I even ask about grits?

I don't "get" grits, but again, I'm not from the South.

Someone else will have to handle that.

Grits is a dried ground corn. How it’s eaten can be grounds for fights. Some put little butter. Others might put butter and salt.

grits are like oatmeal but use very coarse ground corn for sustanence. Some people put sugar in their grits while others salt their grits.

Real maple syrup is also delicious on grits

We better not get started on fried catfish and hush puppies.

The English girl has left the room

Kidding, please carry on. Confused and hungry is my default state anyway
