[Sca-cooks] Winter comfort food...

[Jeff Gedney]

Chilled Cornmeal Polenta, sliced 3/8 inch thick, 
dredged in flour, and fried in sweet butter till 
crispy and deep brown. 
Served on a plate with whipped butter and real 
maple syrup.
Add a fresh cup of real good home roasted coffee.  
Makes my day every time.

Real Pea soup with lots of ham.

Also freshly hashed real chunked Corned beef with 
potatoes, Sweet peppers and onions, an fresh egg, 
over easy, and an English muffin with butter and 
REAL orange marmelade...

Mmmmm

There is a little lunch and breakfast place in Essex 
Connecticut called "the Whistle Stop" that hashes 
Corned beef per order on the grill from chunks, the 
best I have had. 
Nothing like that cat food looking stuff you get in 
the can.
I am perfectly willing to drive the hour and a half
to get breakfast there for that stuff.
I try to get my fix at least once a month.

mmmmmm....

Damn, Now I am jonesing for it again. 
So much for getting anything done today

My Ex mother-in-law, bless her soul, used to make me 
yankee Red Flannel Hash that laways said "home" to me, 
too.

There are SO damn many more things I want to try in 
the SCA than I can possibly have time for. 
It's killing me!!!

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur.
