We ordered take out at the Original Steakhouse.

How do you know that that was the original steakhouse?

We used to drive an hour from our previous home to Wilmington for dinners at Carrabas Italian and Ruth Chris steakhouse.

We love Carrabbas! And my son worked at Ruth's Chris during college. Good steaks!

Giblets are offal!

I only said Giblets because you said Moo Goo. I dont even know what giblets are, but it seemed like an appropriate word to
counter Moo Goo

You mean you've never had giblet gravy for Thanksgiving?

I love giblets, or offal, but I usually just call it chicken guts.

We went to a little diner in Virginia Beach for lunch today and it was so good. I got a grilled chicken caesar wrap with a side of fried green tomatoes. Ate half of the meal and finished the other half tonight, after having had dessert first - a cup of Ice Dream from CFA.

I just figured you were making a play on words, saying giblets are awful.

Tried something different this evening. I actually cooked something. I went out to get some milk and saw this bag of navy beans. So I got home and started boiling the beans around 5:30PM. Slow boil til 6:30. Then threw in 1/2 a can of Spam. So ended up with a 4 quart pot of bean soup.

I know Spam is not Ham. And I didn't put in any onions. But it was still a nice change from chicken and mashed potatoes.

I don't use gravy... is giblet gravy different than regular?

My mom used to fry slices of Spam and put pineapple rings on top.

My grandmothers & mom would boil that little baggie of "extras" included in the turkey (that awful offal ), chop it up and add it to the Thanksgiving gravy.

It's actually pretty good in there.

Back when I used to cook turkeys for Thanksgiving... until I found out I was the only one at the table who liked it while everybody else was preferring chicken... I'd boil the awful offal and then chop it up and add it to the stuffing that would go inside the turkey. It's got to add a lot of tasty and substance to the gravy, too...
