Kai's "Old-Fashioned" Recipe Thread

[jaybird]

wanted>>>Do a search for "Herman starter." I posted the recipe to make the starter, how to feed it and several recipes to go along with it. It's somewhere here in the recipe thread.

Butternut squash. I usually just slice it 1/4" thick, peel it, dip in cracker crumbs, beaten egg, back in cracker crumbs, salt & pepper it then fry it in a skillet in a little oil. I would imagine the_fugative or Jolie can come up with some other recipes for you though.

Jolie! Thanks for the card. And yes. HE IS HOT!!

Fugi! Thanks for the package. And now I don't have to worry about Sarah getting into it and snarfing my stuff! I made a separate post, but it's probably buried on page 2 or 3 by now.

Perfect timing you two! Chitty day. Two, not one, but two friends of mine died last night. One, 49 years old, from cancer. And another, the husband of a friend, tractor fell over and pinned him under it. I get to go to two wakes tomorrow night. (Didn't you just do that not long ago Jolie?)

You guys are the best friends a bird could ask for.
