If I were a smoker, I would have had 4 during this episode and 3 after "Murphy's Breakfast"

      I bought some half and half for my coffee only a few days ago. It's dated 4-26 and, I noticed it curdled in my coffee ever so little yesterday morning. I guess I was hoping it would fix itself overnight, but, it didn't.

      I hated to throw it away and figured if I could cook it, it would halt the spoilage and I could rescue it.

Ah Ha!

      Sausage and gravy with those biscuits that have been sitting in the refrigerator a month.

      I put the roll of sausage in a microwave cooking dish and covered it with plastic wrap. Set the power level for 50% for 14 minutes. When it was done and I looked inside, the plastic wrap had melted and my microwave was covered in grease.

(Cleaning microwave later today, Accepted and moving on.)

      Next, I put some flour in a jar with half and half to shake to mix. No problem there

      I then put the sausage into a gallon microwave receptacle and added the flour cream mix and another cup of half and half and cooked it in the microwave for 3 minutes, whisked, added salt and pepper, whisk.

      I cooked it for another 3 minutes on high.

      I pulled it out to inspect and whisk.

PERFECTLY THICKENED

      I set my oven at 400, put those biscuits in the pan touching as directed, they finish and I break them up over a bowl and pour a good amount of the gravy over them and sit down to enjoy.

      The sausage was bad. Honest. I bought it frozen and it never thawed but, somewhere along the distribution chain it thawed. So now I have a big mess to clean up and nothing to show for it.

Someone left the cream out in the rain,

I don't think that I can take it, 'cause it took so long to make it,

and I'll never use that recipe again, Oh NOooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
