name the movie...

"you don't thank a man for hanging you, you leather-brained ignoramus."

name the movie...

mom said she loves playing the movie game. she wanted me to post this one for her.
can you name the movie?

"i love it when guys peel out!"

we have a winner!

i must make a correction. last week i posted an installment in our series "name the movie..." well i pronounced gina to be the winner. however we had an alternate submission prior to her comment, even prior to audra's (denny's) comment about earnest going to hollywood.

mom submitted the correct answer, "the importance of being earnest," before anyone, via email. thank you mom, for waiting patiently for me correct the error.

i imagine she is pretty happy right now. I wish everyone could see her face when she gets the news she is the winner.

but alas all we can do is imagine. for those having a hard time visualizing it, i bet she looks something like this right about now. your a winner mom!!!

this works too.

okay gina, you name the movie...

anyone can have a go.

"good ole tator soup!"

remember when mom would make potato soup. it was so yummy. she never used a recipe but it always tasted the same. this weekend i made some and it tasted just like mom's. maizie really liked it and wanted me to write a recipe for it. colder weather is coming and it is cheap and easy so i thought y'all might like to try it and tell me if it does taste like mom's.

(grandpa brown always called it "good ole tator soup")

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion finely chopped
3 stalks of celery chopped
4 to 6 large potatoes peeled and diced
3 cups chicken stock (if you don't have stock just double the milk, omit cream and add a bay leaf, that is what i remember mom doing.)
3 cups of milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper (fresh ground pepper will taste the best with the milk base)

melt butter in a large soup pot. add onions and celery and saute five minutes. added potatoes, chicken stock (or milk and bay leaf) and salt and pepper. cook until potatoes are tender. add milk and cream. bring to a simmer and make sure there is enough salt. you are done.
