I have been drafted to cook for a euchre tournament at my Legion post. Started out the first week with baked Macaroni & Cheese. Then Lasagna. This week it was Hot Chicken Sandwiches. Also this week I made Beef and Noodles for a wedding (50+) Nest Sundy it will be Spaghetti and the following week Barbeque Meatballs and also a small pot of Beef and Noodles as 2 of the ladies can't eat pork. I make all the sauces from scrach am able to use the big gas stove at the Legion but still....well, anyway. I have already been informed by the club manager that after eating my cooking the players and bartenders have stated that I am stuck with the job from here on in  Plese don't ask for repcies as I am one of those "this tastes about right" cooks.

You may in the future wish to consider Brussel Sprouts.. It has been my observation that one #10 can of Brussel Sprouts will feed about 500 people and everyone will get all they want!!

I once offered that as a meal option when a men's club was planning a mass meal as a fundraiser at a small town celebration where I used to live... they didn't see the humor in it either.. oh well, some understand subtle sacrasm, others do not....

Bama, Actually like both - and love bacon-wrapped chicken livers as well. Even though I despise raw onion, I find carmelized onion superb. So what I do is carmelize 2 onions, then remove them fom the pan (leaving any liquid they sweated out in the pan). Cook the liver in that onion juice for only 2 or 3 minutes per side. I think most people over-cook liver (of course it depends on the thickness of the liver). Plate , salt (lots!), and cover with the onions. Yum!

As a rule, I stay clear of the two "O's". Onions and organs. I don't like either. Sorry to be no help, Marie.

Believe it or not, the only liver I like is fresh deer liver, lightly floured, sauteed, with lots of garlic and onions. But maybe the fact that I actually shot that deer made it taste better, I don't know. . . I do however LOVE fresh brussels sprouts, drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roasted in the oven at 375 for about 20 minutes. Hey, maybe that'll be part of dinner tonite! Marie, have you done the roast turkey thing yet? A couple big pans of stuffing/filling with it. And any veggie is good roasted: throw them on jelly roll pans, drizzle with oil, and put them in with whatever else you're making. Or meat pies? They're a little work, but hold up well, and are filling. Just some thoughts. I'm going to go eat, now. Pam

Javal, You have it just about right... after you remove the liver(floured) and the onions from the skillet... cast of course, sprinkle in s little flour,stir to toast the flour and mix it with the drippings, then some milk to make a grave... return all to the skillet and let bubble for a minute or so... add a few fried eggs, some coffee and grits, and you have a breakfast ....

I love it . I have been listening to Marie on the phone for weeks tell me about all this stuff she is making . Which makes me hungry . Trying not to eat some of this rich food . So I log on and here it is on line. LOL. As to liver and brussel sprouts I have tried both and don't seem to care for either one. My mother loved Chicken livers . When we go to visit family in Oklahoma she would send us down to the local version of the Dairy Queen to get her Chicken livers at least once or twice during our visit. Seems she liked brussel sprouts too . Susan
