I'm half Yankee, half Hillbilly, so my tastes run for all the fattening comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, chowders, pies and the like. Just about everything tastes great fried in bacon grease! Chicken and dumplings. Anything that uses gravy, especially an old recipe my father taught me that uses ground beef, onions and mushrooms in a brown gravy made from the drippings. He served it over toast, but I admit to putting it on rice, which is my favorite. I also have put it on garlic mashed potatoes and egg noodles, which is delicious too! Cookie making during the holiday season. It just doesn't seem like Christmas without some cookies and other sweet treats like peanut brittle, caramel corn and fudge. I have learned how to make alfredo sauce! A fudge cake that turned out horrible because the sugar I used was from sugar beets, not sugar from sugar canes, so the whole thing stayed liquidy and inedible!
