Got Caught...... little editing  I'd planned on eating dinner in town for Friday fish night at the local restaurant. Holy CRAPOLAaaaaa about 17:00 the wind driven snow was like a blizzard. That wasn't in the forecast. I gotta come up with something for dinner in pretty short order. A couple potatoes and an onion for starters.  BACON !!! Everybody likes bacon . I snip up 6-8 slices into the frying pan.  Diced onion in with the bacon to fry will temper the mix keeping the bacon from overcooking  While the bacon and onion simmered away I peeled diced and parboiled the potatoes.  Before I added the boiled potatoes to the bacon I sprinkled a 1/4 cup of sugar 1 tablespoon of corn starch and a tablespoon of flour.around the mix to absorb any moisture and bacon grease.  During the summer I freeze our extra sweet corn we can't eat for just such times as these. Probably about a pint or the equivalent of a can of whole kernel corn  The corn juice thickens with the potato water forming a gravy. To bring out the twang a hit of vinegar is necessary.... 2 tablespoons is a close proximity.  That's how a stormy Friday night meal is made here on the fly... JD calls it "German slop" ........ we both enjoy this basic of the Midwest and hope you give it a try too. > > > > >Saturday morning addendum.....  What the heck happened to our weather??? Only 5 F here this morning when we woke up? Had to get into the deep freezer for some stuff... There's still plenty of sweet corn put away from last summer. |

HOW IN THE HECK do the Weathermen get away with their "Forecasts"?????? I could do better with a dart board! Ronnie Chauffeured me around town this morning ... pleasant 42 F I think the car said. Groceries, banking, paychecks, but NO FUN Martha Stewart type rummaging Ronnie had to get back to the horses.

I sure hope that pop up snow storm is not headed our way, we had enough this week. I'm a bad procrastinator when it comes to fixing supper. It's not quite so bad since my oldest daughter told me that I can put frozen meat right into the Instapot. I always have eggs on hand, so with your ingredients, I'd probably had fried taters with onions, along with bacon and eggs. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Shocking bad weather here in Ireland too. Bad storms, lashing rain and snow in some parts of the country.  That looks really tasty. Once you have a spud on hand you will never go hungry.

I love fried bologna sandwiches. As a matter of fact bologna is on my grocery list. I like it right out of the pack, fried, with a fried egg, cheese slice, whatever. You get the idea, I like bologna!
