    Saturday Night Shrimp Boil....and leftover meal

    I could eat a lb, maybe a pound and a half of those gulf shrimps. Nice! I can get them off the boat in Oak Island NC (or rather I could) but there was no comparison to the shrimp from my youth. Those gulf shrimp were already marinated in a little oil (sarcasm!) Those mushrooms, c'est bon mon...

    Afternoon from Alabama!

    Here's one for you - where I'm from here in SC if I smoked a brisket with 100% pecan you would swear it was post oak. Oak here (post or white) really does not taste like oak from Arkansas or Texas. Pecan is my favorite local wood (mixed with cherry) I'll put a dollar on it being "What is...

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    Well godda - I mean, well I guess I'll have to try THAT now lol. If I've ever had it with eggs I don't remember it. I was central to north though so I have a good excuse lol.

    My KA Mixer Went South

    Don't feel bad. I've torn up 2 in the last 12 or 15 years. The one I got for Christmas this year broke about the 3rd time I used it. The bowl lift gear or holder or something broke. They sent me another one but I'm leery of it now. It breaks again and I'm going to take it out back and fill...

    Fry Bread Taco

    Yum - I don't really ever make fried pies anymore but that reminds me of the dough I would use for them.

    Looking to get a food processor

    Same. I have a little 3 or so cup chopper that's just way too small to use on much (it goes on the end of my stick blender). I use it, but would like a little bigger one.

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    I've had it with potato salad. I can't claim to prefer it but it is...... interesting. Not bad interesting but very different. I will occasionally if I have some potato salad onhand and have gumbo I will make a small serving just so I don't forget my roots. It's best that way if you don't...

    Tribute Brisket not smoked from my Dad's recipe

    Oh man, it makes the best pot roast you'll ever eat. I don't much care for traditional holiday meats (turkey and ham) so I've taken many a packer and a huge foil pan and made brisket pot roast for the fam to go along with their poultry and pig. pot roast, beef stewing meat, IMO it can do...

    What are you watching ?

    Any Mads Mikkleson fans out there? I watched a really good movie with him in it the other night. I sailed the 7 seas for it so I'm not sure what platform it might be on. Danish film. The Promised Land Kinda cycling back and forth between Breaking Bad and Godzilla films right now. Mostly...

    This weather here.....dang!

    We almost didn't get rain today. Then a pop up hit and it rained for about 10 minutes. 45 minutes later it rained twice as hard (sideways huge drops) for another 15 minutes.

    Rice and Gravy, Louisiana style

    I've done it with ro-tel a lot but the Pace was really good. It's got the tang I was hoping it would have.

    Rice and Gravy, Louisiana style

    Throw the ribs in bones and all. It's fantastic with pork steak. Pork steak may be my favorite way to do it.

    Rice and Gravy, Louisiana style

    I ate a bunch of mine with white loaf bread last night lol. I was just folding the bread over and putting a couple of chunks in it then dipping it in gravy. Pig out style.

    This weather here.....dang!

    June and July were brutal. We had this crazy cool spell the first week of August where it didn't get above 75, one day it didn't hit 70. It's rained here every day for about the last 12-15 days. Now that it's hot again the humidity is like swamp ass humidity because everything is soaked, and...

    Question for the people in the Hatch Chili growing area.

    They run 2.49/lb here at the Kroger affiliate. I got another produce bag full this evening but I had to pick through them hard. I think our Hatch time is over in SC. I have cooked and eaten 3-4 lbs roasted and peeled weight in the last 2 weeks and used about another lb in the rice and gravy I...

    Rice and Gravy, Louisiana style

    I am burnt out on Mexican flavors, so I went Louisiana for the big meal cook this week. Rice and gravy is not talked about much, but Inda and other natives would vouch for it! I made this one out of a bit of mixed meat, but all beef. It's got some chuck in it and some sirloin chunks. It's...

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    Tis a slight blasphemy but IMO if you gatekeep gumbo, you are a(n) "insert bad word here" the deep truth about gumbo is that it's made a hundred thousand different ways and all of them are correct - it's up to the cook and the consumer to determine if it's "right" like moi - moi doesn't add...

    Who remembers these?

    Party balls. We had a guy in high school who would make wine in them after we emptied them out. Terrible stuff - welches grape juice, water, extra sugar and a little yeast. God it was horrid. Sometimes he'd mix it up with other juices like apple or cranberry. It all tasted the same...
