Butch Femme Planet - Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

I'm curious...I have never had gravy and biscuits. Nor have I ever seen them, I don't think. :thinking:

So, I am wondering...when people say I had "gravy and biscuits", is it always sausage gravy, or are there different types and this is why you are saying, "sausage gravy"?

Good morning DapperButch. I am not much of a cook, but I am a really good at eating :) I will tell you what I know about gravy. There are lots of gravies out there, but mostly 2 when it comes to biscuits, The ever popular sausage like Bob Evan's and there is Red Eye gravy served at Cracker Barrel that ham dripping are used in making the gravy. I prefer the sausage gravy:)

I have these smoked pork chops, that I will baste with lite maple syrup and roll onto crushed cashews. They'll need to be grilled on the top rack of the grill.......

Inside the kitchen, I'm making pancakes with blueberries, and on the side watermellon slices. I'm engrossed in my laptop reading the news, come say hi.

I finally convinced Scoote to go skinny-dipping in the pool with me last night....and she liked it! The cats, who sat on the side and stared at us, thought we were a little odd though. :giggle:

I'm off to fill my cup....hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. :)

Ps, I confused me! I see we have the same picture and for an instant I thought your post was mine. I am thinking it is about time for me to put up another avatar!

good morning right back at you. Jo said this was totally ok.....that Jo's kitchen is real casual......I love how everyone helps clean up too!

In real life, I am roasting coffee beans out on my deck. The roaster can put off alot of heat, anyhow, it is a wonderful smell. As my neighbors wake up and smell the beans roasting (this always makes me smile) they yell over.....are you making espresso too? or do we have to drink store bought coffee? (then they give me sad eyes) I always share. Deck to the left and the right of me have espresso/latte and all.... including me, are reading with laptops....no one is talking........one more neighbor to wake, but he was at the Taylor swift concert last night.....(he's my favorite neighbor) a little bit modern day hippy, vegan and a good guy :-), I'll have an IV bag of espresso and Mt. dew set up for him when he gets up around noon....lol

What a way to start sunday, nice and slow!

Have a great day, enjoy your vacation Jo and company!

I figured it was, so I thought I would enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and stop by for morning coffee.

Well, I am off to visit my Dad, have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone,

I am thinking of four cheese omelettes, hash browns, toast and coffee for breakfast this morning...

OS, hope you had a wonderful day yesterday.

Jo Jo, Hope you all are doing good and when do you all leave for the Bahamas? Have a safe trip!

Yellow, hope you are having a good day!

I have to work at 4pm today and this wild schedule that I am working this week is going to cause my sleep schedule to go out the window..:eatinghersheybar: anyone?

Vacation Time..Yeah for you

I've been to the Bahama's and want to go back. I loved the hang gliding excursions. It was an awesome experience. Now off to work, the real world just interferes with daydreaming.

Good morning, I'll put the coffee on. Have a great day. I bet some other folks are doing just that on vacation!

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you OS for the coffee! I got home around 12:45a lastnight and slept until 8am. I am having my first cup of coffee and had my usual breakfast of Greek Yogurt.

Hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday! I had to give a witness statement yesterday in regards to how my supervisor talked to another employee. When I came back from dinner lastnight, she was cleaning out her desk. Which means, she either was demoted or fired.

Have a great day!

Have a great day,

I'll take you up on the offer of a cup of coffee! Since you cooked, I'll clean up. Have fun at the reunion tonight.

Isn't there a house guest here? I better be quiet, and not run the dishwasher........:seeingstars:

Andrea

I would love a cup of creamer with a bit of coffee and a Belgium waffle with fruit please. So nice of you to offer, Zimmy.

Since YB has already offered to clean up today, I will sign up for tomorrow's kitchen duty.

It is going to be another hot day here so all of my plans are inside things. Maybe in the hottest part of the day we will watch one of the movies we borrowed.

Have a great day!
