Plei, what religion change happened?
Catholic to Baptist, I think. I'd have to ask my FiL, though it happened in the 19th Century sometime. (I'm sure on the Catholic part-it's the other I'm blanking on.)
I know that the Texas side of the family pretty much lives up to almost all of the bad stereotypes re: the conservative Southern Christian, though I think that's partly a recent thing. (From what I hear tell from FiL, growing up, it was just a bunch of other Texas stereotypes that they lived up to.)
Wow. I still can't get ahold of Delta. I've been trying on and off since about 9am. I'm getting a busy signal. This is frustrating.
When did the Episcopalian change happen, or is that just Paul's immediate branch?

Just his branch, and 1997/1998, I think?
Oh, really recent, then. That's like us being Congregationalists, although 300 years ago, parts of my family who were in North America (of the ones that weren't driven out of Mass. and down to Rhode Island, or that didn't flee to Canada because they were loyalists) were probably Puritan-flavored Congregationalists, too.
Foodies, I have a question...
When I make beef stew, I usually make dumplings, but always use Bisquick. I have no Bisquick, but am going to start my stew.
Does anyone have a good a flour/baking powder sort of recipe for the sort of dumplings you just cook atop the boiling stew?
Cindy, I've never done the stew w/ dumplings thing, but this recipe seems to have gotten really good feedback on Epicurious.

Just so we don't get bored, I guess.
We always just used biscuit dough, Cindy. Do you have a biscuit recipe?
SA, does your mom know all these things about J?
Nope, though I told her a less detailed version of that.

Not one that doesn't come from the Bisquick box.

I'll gladly take one, though. Dumplings thicken up the stew so nicely, plus you have dumplings!

Thanks, Jess. Off to check it out.
Sorry, SA. Visions of dumplings were dancing in my head.
At least your mom doesn't know all that (I mean, seeing as she seems to be pimping him), even if she should have some clue that he's not exactly great news.
