Because of over fishing true herring has become a rare commodity. These days Del Monte has stopped calling their oval can tomato herring, now they are called sardines in tomato sauce... there's no type of fish known as a sardine... a sardine is any immature fish. |

I don't know how popular it is on the mainland but we can get the dish in most fast food places. It's pretty mild stuff. I didn't even add any garlic to it. I did add some oyster sauce to the mix. These days, I use oyster sauce instead of MSG when I want to supercharge the flavor. Of course, I always want to supercharge the flavor of things. Don't add too much though. That is good to know about the oyster sauce! Heh I don't really know what many of these sauces actually do:))) I did not add any bread crumbs because I wanted to maximize the amount of dripping for a better gravy. This resulted in a rather tough burger. In the hamburger steak world, you either get a good gravy or a tough burger - pick one. It's a fairly complex issue. The simple solution, of course, is to buy a big container of brown gravy mix. I need to do that pronto. Oh heck! I don't have that! What is it called?? |

Hamburger steak is extremely popular at NYC diners... I make them all the time, my 12-14 ounce burgers. In fact we finished the last of them from the freezer and my wife has been bugging me to prepare more... only I can't see well enough to drive yet. I keep telling her to go to the market in town and buy about 20 pounds of top round roasts for me to grind, but she's too ascared to buy meat other than preground mystery meat. A week ago she came home with a package of 4 ounce burgers... they didn't look good but I cooked four anyway. After frying they were in the pan drowning in deep fat and didn't smell very good. I told her she can have mine. We ate none, the outside critters got them, our cats wouldn't go near those nasty things... they looked very disappointed, they love my burgers, probably thought I was punishing them. How people can buy/eat preground mystery meat is beyond TIAD. |

There are others. I could probably get a bucket of the stuff from a restaurant supply store. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V0D3DQ/ |

I didn't have everything I needed. 2.5 hours is way too long unless you're a crock pot, which is unnecessary since you already dirtied up a skillet. Half bottle of Italian salad dressing with 1/2ts of baking soda to neutralize the vinegar. Cream of broccoli instead of cream of mushroom. Add 3/4 head of broccoli florets 20 minutes before taking it off heat (after mushrooms). And more milk to thin it out, or use a pint of cream instead of cream cheese as it is kinda rich feeling. -sw |

If it offends you and the people of the "we", I can't say that I'm sorry. It wasn't my opinion anyway. That was Mr. Strunk's opinion way back in 1918. If you and your people get personally offended by his opinion, all y'alls got major issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style |

| Sheldon Martin <penmart01@aol.com>: Jun 08 02:46PM -0400 >> weeds. We leave the weed barrier cloth stapled down all winter too. >Why do you leave them down in winter? Don't you till your >garden each spring? Birds poop seeds. We roll up the cloth in spring, till, ammend, and put the cloth back... that cloth comes in 50' x 3' rolls, perfect for a 50' foot garden, a quick job rolling and unrolling. Added nutrients go right through that porus cloth. We have some two yards of cow manure from a neighbor's herd that's composting right now at the side of our gardening shed. We get all the manure we want for free, delivered from less than 1/4 mile away by tractor with a front loader bucket. Cow manure doesn't stink, cows are vegetarian... we compost it to kill the weed seeds. >"weed" your garden each morning or two. I did that when >I had a real garden. I enjoyed doing that and it was >something enjoyable to do at dawn each day. If you think a 50' X 50' garden is small then you've never weeded a garden. When removing most weeds if a small bit of root remains the weed grows right back and stronger than ever. The best organic method to weed is by smothering... landscaping cloth covered with a layer of pine bark mulch works best. Covering with newspaper/brown paper is the worst method, it doesn't allow water to penetrate and makes a perfect habitat for moles/voles... voles gorge on plant roots, nothing will grow. Rodents are the reason we encourage the feral cats, they hunt all night and decimate the rodent population. |
