I'm imagining my old Christian grandma saying "You want me to make shit on a shingle?" and I am laughing.

shit on a shingle... Thats the good stuff. My grandma used to say the same thing...

I dunno, gravy just kind of strikes me as a supper type condiment, not breakfast

that being said, I think i'm going to make something that has bacon in it for supper now

Biscuits and Gravy in the morning are awesome.... damn that good.

No wonder Canada is all sorts of fucked up. You guys don't even know when to eat what meal or what to call it!

Crazy Canadians.

Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

It must be a northern thing, my mother in law calls it supper which rubs a wrong nerve.
I also cant stand words that end in -ilk.

[araby]

in the south they say supper but I always say for most meals "let's get some food"

[Darcler]

It's eattin time!

1. Fry a few pork chops in a good sized pan till lightly brown on both sides

2. Get a can of tomato soup pour over pork chops, add some peppers for some spice and flavor, simmer till the pork chops are done and the soup is ready, the longer you let it simmer the thicker the soup gets.

3. Make some white rice

4. Pour the soup over the rice eat them pork chops.

I personally add a fair amount of peppers to it to give the sauce a nice zing.

Did everything just taste purple for a second?

This isn't a ghetto recipe, but IS awesome:

Here's what you're going to need:

4 Large, center-cut, thick bone-in pork chops, each about 12 ounces and 1.25-1.5" thick.

6 good sized cloves of garlic, peeled, then mashed with the flat edge of a knife.

1 large (or 2 small) red onion cut into 8 equal wedges.

2 large ripe pears, peeled & cored, also cut into 8 equal wedges.

Salt & Pepper.

3 tablespoons or so of Olive Oil.

1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1 large frying pan that can be put into the oven. (or an oven pan you can use on the stovetop)


First, you put the pan onto medium heat, and add the oil, then the garlic. After 1-2 minutes, when the garlic barely starts to brown, add the pork chops to the pan, and cook them for 5-6 minutes til they brown sufficiently. Make sure to keep an eye on the garlic, if it starts getting too dark, remove it, and add it back in later.

Once the chops are done browning on one side, flip them over, then tuck in the onion wedges between and around the chops. Season the chops & onions with salt & pepper. About 2.5-3 minutes later, or roughly halfway through browning the 2nd side, add the pear wedges in the gaps between the chops with the onions.

While the chops are browning, mix the red wine vinegar in with the honey in a small bowl or mixing cup, and mix til the honey is entirely dissolved. Once the chops are done browning on the 2nd side, pour the honey/vinegar mixture into the pan, and make sure it comes to a boil. (there will be more liquid in the pan than just the vinegar mixture, trust me.) Add the garlic back in now if you took it out earlier.

Now, take the pan off the stove, and stick it into a 425 degree oven until the onions and pears are soft, or about 30 minutes or so. Once or twice during the roasting, carefully take the pan out of the oven, flip the chops and baste them with the liquid mixture in the bottom of the pan, and make sure the onions & pears are still well placed.

When it's done, the juices in the bottom of the pan should be a rich golden brown, and fairly syrupy in consistency. When done right, this is an awesome recipe. 1 chop easily feeds 1 person. The whole thing is a bit sour from the vinegar, has a bi of bite from the onion & garlic, and you've got sweet from the pears and honey.... Might want to serve it with some plain white rice, to spoon the vegetables/fruit & sauce over as well.

Ohh ok I get the gravy thing now, thanks!

Anyway, some other things I fix up quick in a ghetto like fashion lol:

Tortilla chips + grated cheese + microwave = nachos

Flour tortilla+ speghetti sauce+ pepperoni + grated parmesean cheese + oven = cheap pizza like snack

**my fave**about 5 or 6 potatoes grated into applesauce texture, 2 eggs, flour (add as needed) make a pasty type dough, spread on a plate and scrape off with a butter knife into boiling water = dumplings. At the same time, fry some shredded cabbage with lots of margarine or butter in a large skillet. When the dumplings float the top, drain them and toss into cabbage and butter mixture, add salt and pepper. This is an old family recipe not sure where it started but I believe maybe Germany or Poland. It's really bad for you but cheap and SOO yummy. Try it!

Cut up boneless skinless chicken breast and cook + Saffron rice = Omgyum

flour tortilla + shredded cheese + franks red hot sauce folded in half and stuffedin microwave for a min = yum too. Dip in ranch

[Arlos]

For ghetto recipe how about Cheese Crisps. Take 1 burrito-sized flour tortilla. Put onto cookie sheet. Add grated cheese, usually cheddar. Stick cookie sheet into top rack of oven. Turn on broiler. Keep there til cheese melts & tortilla browns & becomes crispy. Add salsa, sour cream and/or hot sauce to taste if you feel like it.
