Overheard on the General Topics Board

"I'm glad to see sausage gravy on the list. I accidentally became a fan of that plus maple syrup on pancakes after feeling too granny to be able to toss out the sausage grease one morning. Now I obsess about it. My guy makes a ridiculously awesome cast-iron [pankcake that is] fried in bacon grease with crispy almost-burnt edges ... and with sausage gravy and maple syrup? Mind-blowing— like one of the best things I've ever eaten." – splatgirl on pancake and waffle toppings

"Surely there's a simple explanation as to why virtually all soups, stews, and tomato-based sauces are better the second day. What happened overnight to the molecules? Somehow this even sounds backwards as yesterday the kitchen was filled with the heady smells of onions and garlic browning, ham hocks a-stewing whereas today it just smells like oven cleaner. But the soup STILL tastes way better!" – samthechef

"A suggestion for you would be to take a rainy afternoon, pull everything out of your pantry, and take a little inventory. Check expiration dates as you organize the shelves, keeping like ingredients together in a way that will work for you. Plan meals over the following few weeks around using up some of your overstocked items." – Terrie H. on pantry management
