Thank you for all the welcomes. Not sure this is the thread for me as not much to contribute, but love to read recipes and see what other people are cooking. In other words was glad to see Seabrook's stamp of approval for peanut butter.
Mary Kay, Don't recall ever hearing of tomato gravy before. You mentioned the curdling sometimes when the milk is added. When I make homemade tomato soup, I add a pinch or two of baking soda to the heated tomatoes, stirring down the fizz before the milk is added. Does not curdle then. (handed down from my mother) Not sure how this would work with adding the tomatoes to the thickening and then using the bs, maybe heat the tomatoes separately add soda, stir down and then add to the thickening, then the milk? Would work well with Bob's method with adding tomatoes last I would think.
Seabrook, Fleas!! Do not have anything for animals themselves. What we do in the house is take a small dish with water and a squirt of Dawn in it. Put on floor with a night light over it. Think any soap would probably work, and have wondered sometimes if one even needs any soap. Amazingly the dogs do not bother them, but the fleas will if you have any.
The dandelion greens brings back memories!
Where from in Kansas Classwife? Looks as though you are living the good life now. May I come and visit next winter? LOL
Thanks again for the warm welcome. I will just sit here and drool...
