Potatoes Stroganoff - FLA. reminiscing with Coolhand.
Way to stretch a lb. of ground beef the most possible. Hit the grocery store earlier. Zero ground beef beyond the cheapest tube rolls. A lot of those. (Have a couple on hand in an emergency.) Butcher came out with a rolling rack. $4.69/lb. On ground beef. Grabbed one, 1 1/2lb.
Started a Potaoe Stroganoff. Browned ground beef, Milk, cream, butter, sour cream, diced potatoes, worchestershire sauce. Diced onions, dusting of loaded potatoe mashed potatoes. can of baby peas, smelling awesome. Good inexpensive fare.
Food for 3 days.
Anyone that would care to share how to extend a LB. of ground beef further, please enliten me.

Potatoes Stoganoff was my collage professor when I took advanced algebra! 
That was his nickname anyway! He had an accent and what we all called him really seemed to fit pretty well!3 -
I like potato jelly. 0 -
Is potato jelly similar to fumanda cheese? 0 -
Quality beef is somewhat scarce down here in the FL keys so we are mostly on a sea food diet. 0 -
My Uncle and Aunt lived on Marathon Key. (We lived in S. Miami.) [Army Brat, we moved a lot.] They had a charter fishing business. I spent a lot of time down there. 1968/9- 1978.
Lot's of good memories, good seafood, and really bad sunburns. 😥
We lived on a really nice large private lake in Miami.(absolutely killer large mouth bass fishing.) Three boats, 15 minutes from the ocean. Spent a lot of time on the water. I miss it.

I live 50/50 in Miami Lakes and Marathon on sister creek, I went down in early march when the covid crap started and came up to the Lakes last Tuesday for dentist appointment but going back down Friday for indefinite period of time, cant wait to pick up the new piece at FFL in Marathon.
We have Peacock Bass here in the lake and I only catch and release them, they love the Gary Yamamoto red glittery worms at night. In Marathon I've been catching a lot of fish the limit most every time I go out, love the Cubera snappers these are 5 pounders.

Echo lake at 140th St./US 1. (Lake/quarry was in the shape of an E.)
If that means anything to you.
We were one of the first houses on the lake, back in the day. Totally full, when we left.
Caught lots of big fish down there. Saltwater, and freshwater. Huge bass in that lake.

Yes I know your lake but not by name, the echo lake I know of is the one in everglades national park, your lake is very deep too as quarrying was not regulated back then, deep lake in this latitude you know there are big fish there. 0 -
One pound of Ground Beef, cheap stuff, higher fat content. Around $ 3.00.
1 pound of Egg Noodles. Around $ 1.00
1/4 pound of butter. Around $ 0.75
Two tablespoons Sage $ ?
Couple of teaspoons garlic salt $ ?
Fry upon the ground beef with the sage. Do Not Overcook. Pour off the grease.
Cook the noodles al dente,
Drain and rinse.
While the noodles are drying, melt the butter, throw in the garlic salt, stir in the noodles.
Once coated, mix in the ground beef.
Typically get 3 meals out of it, less than $ 2.00 a meal, takes less than 20 minutes.0 -
Even on the inside end of the fingers, it was easily 50-60' deep. Main body of lake would be 2-3X that.
Huge largemouth on that lake. 6-8 lbs. Normal. Lunkers beyond that. Got spoiled fishing there. Nothing else comes close.

Ha ha good Idea to revise the tittle we did go off topic a little, man I can talk fishing all day long.
And yes that lake is well known for it's big Bass that seem to be holding their own against the invasive snake head.0 -
A bunch of us High school and Jr. High scool age would ride our bikes maybe 10 miles to Matheson Hammock (SP?) and go to the beach for the day. I went to Killian High School, Richmond Jr. High.
Great house there. Dad did us good. I still say thanks to him in my prayers for those times.
21' Galaxy 140hp Mercruiser inboard/outboard. 19' Flyingfish sailboat. (my brother and I made bank, beating Hobie Cats on it.) Huge Carbonfiber mast would bend with the wind, tons of sail area. Trapeze we would both be hanging way out on to counterbalance. 10' Johnboat with a 7hp mercury outboard. We would go skiing/fishing almost ever single day. Huge pool inside the screened in back patio of the house. We were in the water, every single day. I could swim like a fish.
Miss those days. Good times.
