                 I have a question too. The pairings of the tot rounds, ketchup (that could be siracha ketchup) and beer is intriguing.  

The beer was Belhaven Scottish Ale. I'm all over the map!

Made a little puttanesca tonight.

Before I added the diced tomatoes, I drained them thoroughly. The juice was thin, but way more tasty than ordinary tomato juice.

The pasta suited me.

Decided to grill some stuff.   This is how I do my shrimp on the grill.   It lacks the smoked flavor, but it is easy and the wife approves.   Just a tab of salted butter, seasoning of your choice, wrap them in foil nice and tight wraps.  I grill off of the heat about 10 to 15 minutes.    It may be too long, but I got sick on shrimp once and now it has to be well done.  The corn was the sme method.    Frozen corn, but it was great.  

 

A couple nights ago, I tried to copy KFC's Famous bowl.  I really like Walmart's Famous Chicken Tenders and decided to make a bowl.   Turned out well.  

Bed of mashed potatoes,  layer of whole kernal corn, chicken tenders, or popcorn chicken, covered with gravy, add shredded cheddar.

That all sounds good to me!

Our local grocery store has recently begun carrying some excellent Argentinian shrimp. They are pretty large, say 10-12s, with shell on but deveined. I always get them still frozen.  

So, last night it was shrimp and grits.

I just winged it on the gravy...sautéed onion and poblano, flour, typical Cajun seasonings, tomato paste, Winchester sauce, hot sauce and shrimp stock from the shells. A drop or two of Kitchen Bouquet to make it look better. Real white grits, made with some heavy cream, and a bunch of cheddar jack. Same seasoning on the shrimps, which I cut into 2-3 pieces each. Wifey says, 'Did you write this down?' Which is her way of saying 'dang'😀

 Pork butt,

I woke up at 2:30 this morning and it had reached temperature. Wrapped in foil for remainder of cook. 7 AM took off and into a cooler for another hour. Pat pulled meat and I had breakfast 😀.

Before, after, pulling and breakfast.
