Sage??? I never thought of it. How much do you use? My wife accuses me of using to much seasonings on things like this.

My personal opinion of the amount of sage after trying B&G for the first time in Oregon ... you cannot put too much sage in the gravy.

Some say you only need a teaspoon for a entire thanksgiving turkey, but I put a large heaping full tablespoon in the gravy, for 4 servings.

I'd send you the recipe for tanker tea but.....
#1 every time I make it I forget where I am.
#2 I'm guessing you don't have the proper measuring device to get the ingredients in proper proportion anyway (the empty casing from a 105mm tank round).
#3 You probably don't have any tanker sippy cups (the aft cap from a freshly fired 120mm tank round).
Tanker Tea will cure everything.......until you wake up the next afternoon!!!

Ah, no mate...none of the necessary CES for a nice Tanker Tea...but then again...I can always improvise...Adapt and Overcome....Maximus Fleximus Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

Semper Gumbi pal. (Always Flexible) Very Happy

Vince .....Forgot to tell ya what a kick I got out of your Biscuits-N-Gravy, food for the Gods, musta ate 6 biscuits and on and on. A girlfriend of mine had a date with a guy that came home with biscuits-N-gravy, she swore he got it from a local gas station and wanted to beat the gavy outa him. But guess what, they're now married. HHmmmmm...works wonders? Snickerdoodles are wonderful with fresh milk, lots of cream on top for dipping. I've gotten rolling-on-the-floor sick that way. I'll have to send you some family recipes, we have some interesting blood contortions in our family, everything from Native American to Polish, which makes for some very rich eating.

Sage makes a big difference with the gravy. I think it's very cool when members get to meet each other like this. There is a good group of people here

Joe

Yep...absolutely mouth-watering Joe.

Tanya and her friend decided to pop down to Brisbane from Seoul on their break and spend a couple of weeks with us. As you say, its great when members get together and meet up face to face. One day, I'd love to visit the US...get myself a car and trip around dropping in on all the good folk here.

Cheers, Vince

Ahhhhhh ............ there's some good folks here to ...... somewhere.... Very Happy

My daughter is almost finished in Vancouver now...heading home in about 3 weeks after 12 months of work at Big White (Kelowna) and Squamish in a handicapped kids summer camp.

We are working 11 to 12 hrs a day 5 days a week and when home (weekends) I don't spend much time on the computer (yard work and trying to tune my Motorcycle that has sat for 5 years without running). We had such a cold April, May and June that we are so far behind that we may not get all the roads painted before freeze up (Dec). So we are working as many hrs as we are allowed to try to get things done. Here's an example. We painted 231 kilometers of road today (all three lines) in 11 hrs at 24 kilometers/hr. That includes loading time and the time it took to drive 130 kilometers to where we had to start and back. As you can tell we took very few breaks.
