    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to JIM WELLER on Sunday, September 29, 2019 12:18:00
    for 1.99 each. What's the sense in that? So we got two
    packs of eggs. We were looking for bacon, but it wasn't on
    sale. H'm, maybe there's some method in their madness.
    Yeah the bacon will be on sale in two weeks when your cheap eggs are
    all used up!

    Egad! Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts
    of men? Only the grocer knows.

    Title: Baked Eggs in Mushroom Sauce
    1 lb Mushrooms
    4 tb Butter
    3 tb Flour
    2 c Milk
    1 Bouillon cube
    1 tb Boiling water
    1 tb Grated onions
    1/2 ts Salt
    Pepper to taste
    6 lg Eggs

    Okay, use a decent gravy instead of the bouillion cube and
    add a little meat, and you might have something there.

    Recipe By: Possum Kingdom Lake Cookbook

    I had to look that up - it's a real place and a real
    cookbook, but Google was singularly inconsistent in the
    results it gave.

    ... I like my eggs hatched, raised, killed and fried in crispy batter

    Generally I do as well, but the little chicken that
    has no bone but an exoskeleton has its uses.

    My wife is English, and has gotten me hooked on Bisto gravy granules - just add hot water, and you get a passable gravy. Comes in a traditional English brown gravy, curry, and onion.

    It's hard to find, though - best to get it online or at a local English
    store, if you have one.

    Yeah I had to look it up too when I first started conversing with
    Barb. I originally thought Possum Kingdom was some kind of inside
    joke to mess with n00bs on the list like me.
