ooooowheeee people...if i am anything i am tired of turkey and i didn't even have that much. i am almost tired of dressing. god bless my mom, there are some things she just can't cook. but dressing isn't one of them. at least i don't think so. i love my mom's dressing. most of the time it's moist and she usually cooks it where the top is nice and crunchy. but 4 meals of it is border lining it.
biscuits, one of the main staples in a southerners diet falls short with my mom. flat and dry. but i think all biscuits are dry. however, my mom could cook great yeast rolls. hmmm maybe that's why i prefer rolls over biscuits. most of the time anyway. gravy doesn't go as well with rolls but that doesn't mean i don't try it every chance i can get. now gravy she could do. even when it didn't come from a mix.
pecan pie-nope my mom can't pull that one off either. but for decades we would and will continue to eat her pecan pie, even though you need a knife to saw the crust apart, for years to come. if she makes anymore that is. this thanksgiving she didn't. she made a punch bowl cake. it was tasty but she forgot to add several ingredients, oh yeah and the cake got a bit brown on the bottom and she didn't quite finish cutting off the brown parts. but i still had a great thanksgiving. overcooked food and all. isn't there a saying that says "dry food leads to great families"? no? well there should be.
which brings me to what i wanted to write about. how much i enjoy QVC. that channel cracks me up. i have never bought anything from QVC. i've been tempted. oh yes, i've been tempted. tonight the host was david venerable. at least i think that's his last name. david was selling food, which he does so well. for those of you not into QVC let me tell you about QVC host david. he is a southerner or so sounds like it and i think that he is gay (on the edge of queeny) and he is about 6'2. and that makes me like him even more. he also seems to get alot of the food showings and i think it's because he can chew visually very well.
anyway, some guy from harry london was there selling his chocolate. they are out of ohio for those of you interested. showing a 3 tiered box set of individually wrapped chocolates. yum. and the "today's top pick" so it was going for around 40 bucks. which apparently is a steal. and they were giving us the selling points of these chocolates. homemade, fresh ingredients, gourmet chocolate, and they are individually wrapped. the wrappers (most of them) tell you what type of candy they are. david, sharing a personal memory (as the host do) told about how when you buy the box candy you can't always tell what kind they are. so he would stick his fingers into the candy to find out. and david then said "well like my momma always said, if you stick your finger in it you gotta eat it". to me that was great. it's such a great quote.
if you didn't find it funny well then too bad.
