    Don't get me wrong - making a good roux is an art and takes time. I enjoy it. But sometimes you just want a little thickening and don't want to bother.

      It's a shortcut. Tony Chachere's also makes a powdered roux. Several companies make a jarred roux.

        Better flavor than cornstarch.

        I have used the jarred dark roux too. Just threw out a jar because the oil had gone a little off. It's good, but I prefer to make one with butter.

            I didn't like the taste of mushrooms when I was a child.

            But since then, I've come to like mushrooms.

            I don't like them as much as carrots, corn, and asparagus. But still, I like mushrooms.

                    @mik said in A dinner George would like:

                    Nice local chuck roast, in the Instant Pot with wine, cream of mushroom soup, Lipton Onion Mushroom Soup mix, a little water and half a pound of mushrooms. Will be served over mashed potatoes with big roasted carrots.

                    But this time with Golden Mushroom soup, some thyme and rosemary. I'm going to cook the roast first then add carrots and potatoes for a 6 minute pressure cook. Hope to keep them from getting mushy.

                      I think mushrooms are the one foodstuff I don't like. I was violently ill as a child after eating mushroom soup, and I've never gone back to them. The smell still makes my stomach turn.

                      Still, all the more for everybody else!

                      I was only joking

                          Ouzo is the other thing, after a holiday on Corfu about 35 years ago.

                          My boss is Greek, and we had a big company meal a couple of years ago, and he ordered ouzo for everybody. I very nearly lost it.

                            I'm going to make a recipe with shrimp, ouzo, oregano and oranges soon. Just as soon as a find a place that sells airline bottles of ouzo because I would never use the rest of a bottle.

                                      Every morning I have a bowl of steel rolled oats, a few blueberries, and walnuts. No milk, no brown sugar.

                                      My parents made me a cheese sandwich with mayo to take to school once. I couldn’t stomach the smell of mayo for years afterwards.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
