I had a bad week. Mom wanted to make me feel better and invited me to dinner at her house. She made me one of my favorite childhood meals, hugged me and told me she loved me and that I'd be ok. I wept on her warm shoulder.

Yah, so what if I'm 53 and she's 75? Want to make something of it?

My Mom's Salisbury Steaks

Combine in bowl and let sit to absorb for a bit:

1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin

1 tsp horseradish

1 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp salt & pepper

1/2 onion, chopped

1 egg

2 tsp worchestershire sauce

1 c ground bread crumbs

Form above into patties.

Heat some butter or oil in large skillet and brown patties on both sides. Add:

1/2 onion sliced however

8-10 mushrooms, sliced however

Smoosh everything around in the pan until veggies are soft. Then add:

2 c beef or mushroom gravy (I like my own, but those jarred Homestyle gravies aren't bad)

1/2 c water or broth as needed as the patties cook in the gravy.

Cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes. Eat, hug your Mom and stop being such a wimp.

 
Sounds good to me....

and I'm 61 and Mon's 86 (about to be 87).
We had a nice comforting soup tonight for supper.

 
You can cry on our cyber shoulders too! I just finished reading Marcia Adam's Quilt Country II

Cooking from Quilt Country cookbook, and talk about "home cooking". man o man the carbs and the fat, but sometimes it's just what we need. those Amish have some incredible recipes---very stick-to-the-ribs, but then, they surely work it off everyday. Made me homesick for Indiana, and for my Mom who is no longer here.
