We had a great meal here this evening. Made rice and gravy, with meat of course, my mom's Zydeco green beans and sliced beets.
This is one of those simple but delicious meals that everyone here loves.
The only thing that would've made it better is if we had some homemade rolls to go with it.
I hate possums! Caused my old beagle to hurt her back chasing them in the yard. That was a hefty vet bill. After that I started trapping them in the yard and relocating them. Well, most of them. I caught over 50 of those damn things in Metairie. they would also try to get to my chickens at 2-3...
I had some white beans and rice for dinner with homemade biscuits.(No picture)
My dessert was a couple of those biscuits with butter and drizzled with some homemade syrup a super nice guy sent me.
This syrup is some super delicious liquid sweetness!!!
These biscuits were some of a...
The ship caught fire and sunk as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a terrorist attack.
Edited to add that earlier I read something saying the ship sank. Apparently that was wrong.
Yeah, I considered making some tzatziki sauce or even buying it already made from Costco the other day. But, because I make a sauce usually to go with everything I cook we end up with a fridge full of a bunch of sauces that end up going bad. I decided to just have the Toum sauce but it didn't...
I put some chicken thighs to marinate yesterday for Shawarma today.
I cooked the chicken on the Keg about noon today and after cooling into the fridge it went. After getting home from mass this afternoon I cooked the rice pilaf, threw the salad together and made the humus platter then sliced...
Alright, so I put the 5.5 lb corned beef brisket in the Pastrami brine where it will sit for 3-4 days and then it will be smoked.
I used a turkey roasting bag to keep it completely submerged in the brine and this keeps it from making a mess spilling.
Still Lent so I made Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos for dinner on this glorious Friday.
I thought we had smaller soft flour tortillas at home so I didn't get any when I was at the grocery. Turns out they were 8" tortillas. Oh well, They still worked out for the tacos.
The shrimp on the griddle.
The...
After getting home with the wife from the eye Dr I began the prep work for this evening's dinner.
Got some chicken thighs marinating for Chicken Shawarma tomorrow evening, a slaw and a sauce made for tonight's shrimp tacos and got a brine simmering for a corned beef to make Pastrami with.
Yeah, I've used strawberries, blueberries, pecans, bananas, chocolate chip and even bacon in waffles. All are great but I just felt like plain 'ol regular waffles that night.
No, that was I want to say Country Pleasin' brand. It's a pretty darn good sausage and would make for a great hot sausage poboy.
Making some fresh Italian sausage is on my to-do list though. Just not satisfied with what you buy in stores.
I didn't feel like cooking much for dinner tonight so I made homemade waffles and pan griddled Jalapeno/Pineapple sausage with a side of strawberries.
Not too bad for a midweek evening meal!
I am NOT perfect! Close, but not exactly there.
That said, in TRYING to keep with being a good Catholic(I'm sure a lot of people would/could argue this).
But, in trying to stay within the boundary's of a Lenten Friday I decided to make an Eggplant Parmesan and Garlic Parmesan Angel hair pasta...
This evening I made some homemade biscuits for a breakfast dinner.
While the biscuits were baking I went outside and cooked sausage patties, corned beef hash and home fries on the Weber griddle.
That's it. Only a couple of pictures taken tonight as this cooking was hot and quick.
