W/ liver and onions!!"There are kids starving in Africa!!"

I didn't hate it. At least not the taste. My mom knew how to make it better than most, soaking the liver in milk for a day. It was the chewing on and spitting out a fat vein that would turn my stomach.Weird thing is I LOVED liver and onions!! LOVED it!! And so did my dad but my mom hated it so we rarely had it. I know a lot of people hate L&O. So weird, put lima beans on my plate and it'd take me 45 minutes of uninspired chewing just to make half of them go away. L&O, BOOM, clean plate!! What a weird kid I was....
Nope - me too. I was a picky eater, but lima beans would make me gag which just further annoyed my parents. I can remember sitting at the table for hours because I had to sit there until they were gone. I'd usually "win" in the end, but even today just reading the words "lima beans" makes gag.I assume I'm an outlier, but there isn't anything you can do to lima beans to make me like them...

Never heard of this. I'll look into it. Thank you.Veer:
SIMPLEST and best biscuit recipe - IMHO 1. Whipping Cream
2. Self Rising Flour
Follow directions on back of flour for biscuits.
You add "NO" other ingredients.
Simple simple simple!!
2. Self Rising Flour
Self-Rising Flour has aluminum in it? Seriously??Nope. Has aluminum in it, not good, unless you want dementia.
1/2 the stuff in your pantry....or even your medicine cabinet and shower likely has some form of aluminum in it. I'd worry most about checking the things you'd use on a daily basis which may increase toxicity levels beyond what the human body can withstand. Like your deoderant, or shampoo/conditioner. Eating pizza every couple weeks isn't going to give you dementia, even though aluminum is found in all canned tomato sauce (which every pizzeria uses!) It's also found in salt, and baking powder, and self rising flour, and donuts, cookies, muffins, pancakes, brownies, etc etc. Again, all I would worry about is what you use on a daily basis and try and find a alternate product free of aluminum. Deoderants likely put more aluminum in more people's bodies than anything....unless you own a pastry shop!!Self-Rising Flour has aluminum in it? Seriously??
Add grated parmesan to the biscuit mix for mind blowing biscuits.
Re Guildedagain, post #9 - "biscuit mix"? What's that?
The FDA says it's not harmful.
You've seen my head, right? I go pretty easy on the shampoo/conditioner.....1/2 the stuff in your pantry....or even your medicine cabinet and shower likely has some form of aluminum in it. I'd worry most about checking the things you'd use on a daily basis which may increase toxicity levels beyond what the human body can withstand. Like your deoderant, or shampoo/conditioner.
I ditched the box biscuit mix many years ago. I used to use it a lot and they made moist fluffy biscuits, then something changed and the biscuits were dry and awful. Convenient, yes. Edible, not so much, so went back to making them from scratch, and I get to try lots of different recipes. Thank you for sharing yours. It might be time to come out of my cornbread phase and into a biscuit phase.I didn't mean biscuit mix as in something out of a box, I meant add it to your biscuit mix, the stuff you pour in your bowl to make biscuits.
Easy biscuits
4 cups all purpose flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
If using buttermilk, substitute 1/2 tsp soda for 1 tsp baking powder
Bake @ 450º 10-15 min til brown on bottom
To make scones, add 1/4 cup sugar to above recipe, and 1 cup of raisins or currants.
I tried the creamed corn, but prefer kernel corn in the cornbread, but it could be because I don't like creamed corn. With ham left from Easter, there will be diced ham in the next pan, along with the onions, corn, and cheese. Probably a pot of chili to go with it, also with some ham added in. I think I know what's for supper tomorrow.My GF's mother makes cornbread w/ a can of creamed corn in it and they are amazing. they are from NC, and for them growing up there way back when, making biscuits were considered an important part of a girl's right of passage. During the bygone era of the "homemaker", women were judged by their family stock, their looks, their personality, and their brains.....but in some parts of the south, most of all, by their biscuits!!! (and if the sausage gravy is to die for....you marry that woman!!!)
Sorry Tom, wasn't aimed directly at you. But while we're at it, skin cream and suntan lotion have aluminum as well.
