albundy1089

I said Dubai, because the bag said "Dubai Duty Free Store". in big red letters. After hours of research on Google and other analysis, I concluded there is at least a 70% chance it came from Dubai😊.

I guess Stella had to get out of Dubai for a while. I see a duty-free store bag on the floor.

Well, she is a "celebrity" in today's weird world...and the b👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️bies are pretty nice!

She is so damn cute!😊

Found something I hadn't seen....gif on/offs

I can see her head move slightly as she breathes

I started using the AlBundy in 1999, but that 1999 was taken so it ended up as 1089. I respected Al, not as a loveable loser, but as the fiercely protective patriarch of his dysfunctional family. Did you know that to this day, whenever one of the former cast members starts a new series, he sneaks onto the set on the first day of filming and surprises them with a cameo. Just to show his support. I live near the southern tip of what was once the Atlas mountains.

No. Had to leave in my late 40's. Legs started breaking down. Now I'm looking at a left knee replacement in the not-to-distant future. Was in the auto industry for about 20 years after, now retired.

Sorry to belabor the point, but I was a professional Chef for many, many years-Corporate and hotel chef for an international chain. I had postings in 4 European cities, the Caribbean, Hawaii and throughout the USA. Food is my soft spot-especially Southern. I was taught the basics by some incredible Black women that still did things the family way. Soul food is the best.

One last word on grits. Nagachili if this doesn't make you a convert, I'm afraid your hopeless. SHRIMP AND GRITS SOUTHERN STYLE WITH CHEESY GRITS These delectable Shrimp and Grits are cooked with creole seasoning, red pepper, green onions, crisp bacon and garlic over a bed of creamy cheddar grits. Author: Beth Pierce Prep Time: 5 Cook Time: 10 Total Time: 15 minutes Yield: 4 1x Category: seafood main meal Method: stove top Cuisine: Cajun INGREDIENTS SCALE1X2X3X CHEESY GRITS 1 cup quick grits 4 cups water 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar Shrimp 6 slices smoked bacon 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 red bell pepper finely chopped 3 green onions chopped 3 cloves garlic minced 1/4 cup low sodium chicken or vegetable broth INSTRUCTIONS Bring the water to a boil; add the grits and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, stir in butter, cream and cheddar cheese. In large skillet over medium heat cook bacon until crispy. Place on paper towels to drain; reserving bacon grease. Coarsely chop bacon once cooled. Add shrimp to bacon grease over medium heat. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. Flip shrimp after one minute; and cook for additional one minute. Remove to plate. Add vegetable oil to skillet over medium heat. Add red pepper and cook until slightly tender; 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low. Add green onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth to skillet and stir. Return shrimp and bacon to the skillet and heat for 1 minute. Spoon shrimp mixture over cheesy grits. Serve immediately.

She's eating them wrong. Sunny side up eggs. Blend them with the grits so the yolk flavors the grits. I love true banana puddin', which is not the crap made with pudding mix and whip n chill.😊

TBG is correct. But to expand further; grits (corn) are an American staple food (as the continent not the country). The variety of products that can be made from corn are endless, it's like rice is in Asia. When made properly, they can be delicious. I buy fresh grits from the mill in the fall and store them in the freezer. Cook them up and add lots of butter and black pepper. Serve with sunny side up eggs and a slice of country ham. Make red-eye gravy (deglaze the pan you fried the ham in with a splash of yesterday's coffee. Reduce and add a touch of dark sorghum to add some sweetness) if you want. Most restaurant grits are not good. They dump instant grits into boiling water and let them sit in a steam table for hours. There is a reason Waffle House is famous for hash browns-not grits.

Apologies to Naga, Max and Rob. 😁

Ok if I add some once in a while?

Thanks for this thread. And congrats to Tampa Bay!

Unfortunately I missed the first half, but the second was a stunner. Denmark played with great heart, it was obvious they were gassed at the end and still kept fighting. It was a shame that one team had to lose. (Just like Spain/Italy). One thing I can say with confidence is that European "Footie" has a new American fan.

Totally true Bluewinner. I find Hanna interesting because she is more of a "everyday girl" that could just as easily be your neighbor or the receptionist at your doctors. (Doing the things you would only imagine them doing 😁).
