No The Tudors or Blood Ties for me tonight, due to the snowstorm blocking the satellite signal. I have set the Tivo to get them some other time.

It's been months since I have posted a WWII ration recipe. I'm sure you've all been very disappointed about that. Once I saw this one, though, I just knew I needed to share it with all of you.
