salisbury steak with french onion gravy
skaterina sed she never had homemade salisbury steak / why wd anyone want that, anyway ? she likes the kind found in supermarket steam tables / an oval shaped kind of meat / gurgling in thick brown gravy / mash taters in the next slot
the kind of food you dont have to chew
which of course is why she was disappointed in the salisbury steak i churned out yesterday / the sonoutlaw loved it and so did friend from vermont / but skaterina said it wasnt PROCESSED enough / it required a bit of chewing and she didnt like the wine in the sauce
because wine does not go with potatoes ! she firmly believes this / wine in sauce or gravy is okay with noodles or pastas or rice and grains / but yuck with potatoes / that's my story and i'm sticking to it
with some of the leftover potatoes ( cut in chunks some red potatoes, leave the skins on but scrub them first, boil until fork tender, drain, throwin some butter / chuck up with some handy kitchen utensil
save salting potatoes until you eat them / potatoes absorb salt like mad
when in doubt add butter
