Interviews, controversy, "hard news; my goodness fts enough to give me a bad case of heartburn. Well, have you listened Anyway, Im Grandma Sue and Ill be sharing my recipes with all you good people. This morning I got up early and watched our cows out In the pasture, Just chewing and chewing in the mist. Ogs still upstairs asleep In the four poster. Mercy, that man snores so loud, he rattles the windows. Last night I got so aggravated, I pinned a clothespin on his nose and another on his lips. Og came close to choking to death when he sucked in real fast and downed that wooden clothespin. I got it out with a coat hanger. This month Id like to give you folks my recipe for mock turtle soup. thats mock turtle soup. Dont go out with a club and beat some poor turtle to death. Turtles are our friends (besides, it takes too many turtles to make a pot of soup). First of all, here are the ingredients. I.;: Now . Pi lb. lean ground beef 1 large onion 14 oz. bottle ketchup 2 qts. water 1 can (10 12) oz. beef gravy 2 tsp.

First of all, saute the beef. Stir occasionally for 2 or 3 minutes. Now add an onion. No, you dont throw a whole onion in there. Cut it up first. Cook it a few minutes more, and then add ketchup, water, beef gravy and Worcestershire sauce. 1 1 Bring this concoction to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer. Slowly add the browned flower (a spoonful at a time and slowly, or youll get matzah ball). Now add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Next, find a dirty, smelly sweat sock and dip it in the soup seven times. Im only kidding about the sock. want, you can use powdered cloves and allspice instead, about a tablespoon of each, to taste. Simmer the whole thing for another two hours. When youre ready to serve, add a lemon slice to each bowl and a little wine (to taste). But watch out with that cooking sherry, especially if your man is like mine. I caught Og in the pantry last week, taking a little nip. It reminded me of Uncle Bill.
