, Lin, can I come live with you? Me too?? (I promise I won't dissapoint!....for I will eat them all!!!) So, you love knitting, Lin? Hmmm you must have made beautiful scarfs.....I love scarfs....and you know who looks good in scarfs? RUFUS After breakfast, he'd love that as a parting gift ;D @toad In The Hole: Sounds quite naughty for a Valentine ;D (or is it just me?) Love to try it though..... Annachibi, Sewellme, Rousse, sounds like we're having a party! Yes, I knit, all right. Scarves are my speciallity. Mainly lace patterns, in luxurious yarns. Now there's a thought. Cashmere, cabled, in a verdigris green? I've got until the middle of October.....

Sewellme, this is why you have to be so careful explaining English food hehe! Half of it just sounds dodgy, even though it's actually not And lindragon, your husband is very very lucky - rustic home cooking IS my special occasion food, due to lack of ability to cook anything else! Your food on your blog looked so so so good!! You could definitely tempt a certain someone to stay with that cooking (And your puppy Barley looks exactly like mine, except mine's a Cavalier. Same markings though, and so cute ) Thank you, Rousse, glad you like it. Tempting is the point. Barley is a working Cocker. Quite different from the show type. You will have seen that Quince, her litter sister, is quite different again. But they are all fab company, aren't they.

I make a good blackened chicken dish with creole vegetables over rice - no name, it's a thrown together original. To get the BEST home cooking, we'd go visit my aunt's (there are 4 of them). We'd have some chicken and dumplin's, fried okra, sweet potatoes, yeast rolls and pecan pie. (And then go hiking to burn it off!)

I'd make him Christmas dinner, since that's the only thing I'm really decent at cooking.
If that did not agree with his schedule, I'd take him to City Barbeque. Mmmmmm.....meat.

If it still existed (it doesn't, and I'm still sobbing about it) I would have taken Rufus to Grouper's, a fish restaurant in town that sold the BEST crab pate and grouper. I only ate there once and before I could think about going to eat there again, it closed. As for places that are open, however, I would take him to my Aunt Judy's for a smorgasbord of homemade chili, chicken and rice, fried turkey, homemade veggie soup, homemade bundt cake, some of my Aunt Kathy's Earl Grey shortbread cookies, and some homemade coconut cake made from a recipe handed down from my German great-grandmother. Heaven. If he decided to spend the night (which I could see happening) he'd wake up to sausage biscuits made from scratch with my Uncle Billy's PERFECT scrambled eggs and bacon (and fatback if he wished) on the side. Or, if he wanted to go traditional English I'd take him to my Auntie Alli's to have a good old roast with all the trimmings and a raspberry meringue and sticky toffee pudding for afters, and a steaming mug of her hot chocolate which is to die for. She insists she just uses packaged cocoa, but I swear she's magic because it's the best hot chocolate I've ever had. If he decided to spend the night there, he'd wake up to a traditional English breakfast. But if that isn't enough to tempt him, he'll have to deal with either a slice of my ham and cheese quiche, or a bowl of my chili, or one of my famous omelettes with a big slice of my banana bread for afters served with all my love... Aaaaand if he decided to spend the night here (yeah right!)...

i'm sitting here freezing on the first really cool night of the season, so my thoughts are on hot comfort food for the sweet boy. around here, once the temperature dips, that means a pot of soup on the stove all weekend and people just drift in and out and help themselves. some gooey, buttery (real stuff) grilled cheese sandwiches (and while we're at it, will someone please explain the 'sammich' references for me?) and freshly made chess pie (which is basically sugar, real butter and eggs with some vanilla flavoring and either lemon juice or a little vinegar thrown in. and don't suggest to me it needs meal to be a real chess pie. i don't 'do' meal in mine and no one has ever complained they missed it.) i know there are fancier meals and i can pull off several of them, but let's face it, the boy can get uptown stuff anywhere. this is 'mama cookin''.

OK my brain is definitely dying, since I even responded to this thread and then forgot having done it. What kind of board friends are you that you don't stop me from making a fool of myself before I go to so much trouble doing it — as in creating a new thread? Don't you know I'm bordering on senility and it's your Rufusian duty to save me?

Ah, HERE it is - our old "Rufus is coming to dinner" thread! Hmm. I was wondering where this was .... time for a new menu for Roof, I think.
