    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

1 skillet, 1 bowl, minimal real cooking time

A couple tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet medium heat
Chop up 1 onion, put it in the skillet
Put in 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables on top of onion
1 qt canned chicken, or frozen cooked chicken from the deep freeze on top of veggies
Cook on medium heat until onions look tender. Start preheating oven to 400
Mix 2 pkg country gravy with 4 c water, pour over veggies and chicken, stir until thickened.
Using bowl you just used to mix gravy, make drop biscuit dough and drop spoonfuls over mixture
Put skillet in heated oven, cook until biscuit topping is getting browned.
 
Thanks Lucille, always looking for fast and simple meals.

Here is another easy meal and I just made it tonight. Wife had set out some veal cutlets for dinner but she fell ill and went to bed. I put veal in fridge and made my easy peasy Turkey Chili

Brown package of ground turkey. 2 cans of Best Bean mild chili, 2 jars of Black bean and Corn Salsa and a 16 ounce can of diced tomato.

Bring to boil then simmer with lid on for 1 hour. Turn off stove and let it slowly cool to eating temp. I think this is when the flavor mixes together.
