The "Beef Tounge" is good,the "Others" you can keep.
What "Exactly is "scrapple" anyway?

Gee, Kevin, you are really going to make cheesesteaks? Don't get me wrong, they can be great, but the only time I ever have one is when tourists visit. Make sure you use genuine CheezWhiz, not some pantywaist provolone or something.
Scrapple is another matter. For the uninitiated, scrapple is an alleged meat product that comes in gray bricks, like corn meal mush, and you slice and fry. It's the Philadelphia food that no Philadelphian ever eats, although the PRR and Reading did always have it in the diners.
The content of scrapple is a subject of conjecture. All I know is that my Dad, who eats beef tongue, ox tails, Rocky Mountain oysters and other stuff that the dog won't touch, won't eat scrapple.

Philly Cheesesteak? Not A Problem,but you may have to wait just a bit longer to get
one,as the 'chef' will probably eat one first.[:D]

Victory huh....You might get an argument or two from the others, but since the Cowboys, Vikings, Packers, or Chiefs aren't playing - I don't care.

Let's see - Eagles are for helping keep down the mouse population and Pats are for your head...

Yup - Mookie has this football down pretty well.

Kevin, for your breakfasts in the morning:

Take one microwave bacon rack, put on four slices of bacon, cover with
a paper towel, and microwave 2:30-3:30 minutes. Works best if you have
a carosel in the microwave: then you don't have to stop microwave, open
door, and turn containter for even cooking).

Recipes? Sure!

A simple favorite: Crock Pot chili
1 lb ground beef
1 large can pinto beans (add more or less, to taste).
1 onion
1 bell pepper
1 can cooked tomatoes (whole, crushed, diced - your choice)
1 can tomato paste (especially if you use whole or diced tomatoes)
1 package chili seasoning, your choice

Brown/crumble ground beef
Dice up pepper and onion to desired size
Combine all ingredients in crock pot (including liquid from beans)
Cover pot and set to desired heat (depending on how long you want it to take)
Stir occasionally.
High - 3-4 hours. Low - 6-8 hours.
Serve in bowls with fresh Italian bread or crackers.

There are only three really "difficult" parts to this: browning the meat, dicing the veggies, and opening the cans. Best, you can do some of it ahead of time: freeze the browned meat and diced veggies; then throw it all together before you leave for work in the morning. Cook on low and supper is ready when you get home!

Okay, I have a brilliant Idea.

9,000 Watts working here.

I say we post recepies! Because i'm running out of easy things to make.

considering we have 216 amazing pages of food, why not, how to make it...

I need easy stuff.. or easy suggestions and what-not.
