It’s gonna be gumbo tomorrow. Did the roux in the oven today —3 hours at 350. At the start: 1 hour: 2 hours: 3 hours:

Think I forgot to share this last weekend. Good ol’ biscuits and gravy. This sure hit the spot. Rice’s medium hot sausage is my favorite, but it’s getting hard to find.

Post some pics!!

Don’t make me find a picture of you with a fish... 😄

darned if you do, darned if you don’t. At first I though ol’ Al’s back was giving him problems. Easier and less obvious if you take the shot from a higher angler, rather than scrunching down.

Marion!

Now you got me searching. Dangerfield: Girl called me and told me to come over... there’s nobody home. I went over and there was nobody home

These jokes remind me of the good old days, like on Carson with Dangerfield, Youngman, etc.

Somebody’s going to jail for this. 😄

That's a GREAT photo!!

It should encourage better security measures than the ones they have in place now.

I've been thinking about this....I guess it'd be kinda silly to miss out on history just because I don't really like the guys too much.

Ahh, they’re really easy to hate, and it’s not just sour grapes because they win too much. I’m sitting it out. May go try and find a replay of Super Bowl IV to watch instead. (There boys, I set it up for you 😄)

Alright, 18 liters bottled. Will improve with age... I’ll put a couple in the fridge and the rest in the ‘cellar’.

Although, Long John Silvers is easier and prolly cheaper if you factor it all in.

Welp, get the oil deep enough and the temp right and it works. Looks really good.

Ever since AB sold to the Brazilians or Belgians or whomever, they just don’t produce great Super Bowl or Christmas commercials. Tragic.

Neither head injury coverup and denial, nor kneeling prima donnas were enough to keep me from watching NFL football. But the Pats in the Super Bowl mean I’ll be doing something else that Sunday. Don’t like them...Brady, Bilichek, Gronk, Giselle and the rest. They’ve won too much, and need to share. 😄 Don’t remember who’s doing halftime, but if it’s like the last few years I won’t be missing a thing. Thoughts?

You have a deep fryer?

You had to put up a heck of a fight with your spell checker.

So, I’ve been under the weather and just eating whatever sounds good. Haven’t had a Big Mac in a year or more, and it just sounded good. So, I put on some pants and drove over to Mickey D’s for a #1. I made a good lane choice and beat the dude in the Subaru with my order and rounded the bend to be next in line. Then the little doooshbaag wedged in front of me. I toyed with laying on the horn, which was about three feet from his ear, but when I saw his graduation tassel hanging from the rear view, I decided to give him a break. I waited my turn and when I got to the window I told the dude the guy in front of me had cut me off. He apologized, and when I asked him to pass the word on up to put the guys lid on loose, he said he couldn’t do that. So I got my meal and Diet Coke and headed for home. I took a long pull on the drink....blech, Dr. Pepper!?!?! Perhaps my attempt at humor had backfired. At home, I set things up for a photo and then dove in, Well, shazbot! The secret sauce guy must had a bump stock on that the gun because it was at least three shots. Ever try to eat an oversauced Mac? Impossible. I went through 6 napkins before throwing in the ...6th napkin. And the fries were cold. I’ll tell you what—they’re gonna get a negative review on Yelp and just have to deal with the fallout!!

Welcome back, and here’s to a speedy recovery!!

When I first heard the story I figured some drunk kid stole a random UPS truck and would get caught trying to sell one of the guns. I was close 😄 Sounds like some good police work.

Cream of mushroom soup has been sounding good. Lots of mushrooms plus onion, celery and thyme sautéed in butter. Add flour to make a roux, then beef stock and get it cooking. Into the blender until smooth then back to the pot and add the cream. Adjust seasonings. Not much to look at, but if you love mushrooms this is pretty good stuff.
