You forgot bacon!

i tried turkey bacon not too long ago for the first time. it's a new breakfast favorite! it tastes good, and since it's not so greasy it's easier for me to clean up. i hate cleaning up after cooking

My old boss (where I worked in the 80's) invented the turkey devonshire
Frank Blandi's Original Devonshire Sandwich

Source: Frank Blandi, Le Mont Restuarant, Mt Washington, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – 1934

Cream Sauce
:
3/4 stick butter, melted
1 cup flour
1/4 pound Cheddar cheese, grated
1 pint chicken broth
1 pint hot milk
1 teaspoon salt

Melt butter in deep pan and add flour, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth and then hot milk, stirring all the while. Add cheese and salt. Bring to boil, then cook slowly for 20 minutes, still stirring. Cool to lukewarm. Beat with wire whip until smooth before using. This makes enough sauce for 6 Devonshire sandwiches.

For each sandwich:
1 slice toast
3 slices crisp bacon
cooked turkey breast
Cream Sauce, recipe above
Melted butter
Parmesan cheese and paprika

Heat oven to 450 degrees F.

In each flat, individual ovenproof casserole dish, place 1 slice of toast and top with 3 slices bacon. Add cooked turkey breast. Cover completely with cream sauce. Sprinkle with a little melted butter, then with the combined Parmesan cheese and paprika. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

hi dahly, your preserves look really good, tomatoes too. Took me back a few years when we had a farm in Michigan and planted about an acre in veggies every year. We both took care of it, me more so because hubby was away a lot. We wound up in the states cause he was sponsored by a company and had territory all over the US and Canada. Anyway....

Its coming to the end of gardens soon and on the farm at the end of the season, all of the neighbours who had big gardens would get together with eveything that was cleaned out eventually, potatoes, tomatoes, anything, any veggie and we would have a 'hobo dinner', purchase a brand new garbage can, fill with water, and all veggies, rings of kalbassa, whole chickens, just about anything that had to be got rid of. Cook forever over an open fire while drinking some really good sangria and whatever, and then, pig out on the contents.

I canned, pickled, froze just about everything I grew, my dogs loved the tomatoe skins, etc. in their dog food and the chickens always got the rest.

I dont can anymore but still have my accoutrements but gave away my jars.

My favourite was making saurkraut, what a procedure that was, and everything had to be sterilized and super clean in a huge earthenware crock.
I loved every minute of doing it and the end result was delicious.

Do you every make vegetable/tomatoe juice from your tomatoes ?

Tick,
I've never made any juice from the toms, I think I've never really had enough extra. I use them for everything.

My Dad told me when he was growing up he used to crawl under the bed where all the Tomato juice cannings were and pop them open and chug. Granny wasn't really pleased when she found empty jars.

I might attempt Sauerkraut this year, it is just so time consuming, but really good.

My main reason for buying a food processor way back when was specifically for saurkraut, but it was eventually indespensible for my slicing and dicing procedures in anything to do with canning and freezing. I hope you have one for the saurkraut purpose and if and when you do attempt that (it is absolutely the ultimate in canning procedures and actually has to be done the way it was done l00 years ago), I would be glad to give you any advice or tips you will need.

I still have many kitchen implements my grandmother used when she first got married and I still use them to this day.
