Thts how I like my baked beans.   I can't believe many places, especially barbecue places dont do them this way.

Haven't posted in a bit.We have either been eating at the community restaurant venues to use up our food allowance, or I have prepared delicious but ugly things like lentil soup.  Ever seen an attractive picture of lentil soup? Worse than black bean soup.

Egg plant from the garden due soon.

Nothing wrong with that. Speaking of ugly Pat made us a Big giant baked potato each last night. I mean big and loaded. 

   Yes there is a split potato from the trager pellet grill under that mess. We could only eat half of our plate each. It was good though and for breakfast I had my other half this morning. Adding to that I will be eating Pat's other half in the morning.

Garnish can't even help those😀We do love lentils here. 

Repeats and leftovers here. The rest of the week isn't going to be share worthy. Maybe the long weekend will bring something good.

 Today's dish through pictures. As simple as dick and Jane.

   See squirrel dead,

  See squirrel dressed,rinsed and patted dry,

See squirrel squirrel browning in Olive oil,

 

   See splatter screen keeping me from getting splattered,

.   Don't see me pulling browned squirrel out and setting aside,

  See onions browning in the same olive oil,

   Then after browning onions see me add a whole head of garlic cloves and some sliced hot peppers (note add more because we couldn't detect heat or flavor). See me saute with onions for a couple minutes.

See me nestle the browned squirrel in the Dutch oven with a couple bay leaves,

  Imagine me simmering with the lid on for two hours or until fork tender,

   Imagine me dumping in frozen peas and letting them warm a bit,

See Pat plate this up with some mashed potatoes,

  See me make this and a second helping disappear except for a pile of bones,

    Today's dish story over 🙂.

    I haven't got time to do the cooking. I just liked looking at everyone else cook and taste the samples. Some were actually really good especially the ones with an Asian flair.  Lots of people are there to sample. Lines were long and the food disappeared fast.

Haven't been to a squirrel cook off. I gave up on chili cookoffs. There are only two kinds of entries, blister you lips or cloyingly sweet. Everyone talks endlessly about their "secret" cola/coffee/amaretto recipes. All that layers over the never ending beans/no beans argument and claims of authenticity. God forbid squirrel competitions never sink to that level.

The dishwasher is belly up. Simpler meals until next week.

Last night the beautiful wife made a peach clafoutis. Go ahead, look it up. It is in the same family as Dutch babies and Yorkshire pudding.
