What's Cooking?

On my food bucket list is a fried softshell crab sandwhich. Wow they look good!

    I'm with you chief on the soft shell crab sammich. I think I could be all over that.

Happy birthday RPS,

I have looked at the soft she'll crab several times while working along the gulf Coast but couldnt bring myself to pay for 3 good steaks just to have one, but they did look good.

Tonight's basic low brow but delicious supper was a ham steak on the grill, a skillet full of grated taters and onions.  Along with a few over easy eggs.  Just my elderly mother and I tonight so there is lots of left overs, fortunately my son is on his way home from school so I suspect he will handle the left overs for me.  Put a slab of ham on the plate, a chunk of taters, pour picante sauce over the taters and plop an egg on top. It works for me.

Mussel prep looks great, and would be all over the soft shells! Happy Birthday!

Always remember if you have the choice between a "cooker" or a "looker", you get to eat supper Every day, for the rest of your life.

Or go with the looker who knows how to cook and just change the recipes. She cooks what I like now.

Birthday Meals Part Deux

The curried mussels were fantabulous, but I forgot to take a picture.

I have started the prep for tonight. I have sesame noodles made. I matchsticked a carrot to saute with the sugar snap peas. I have made a sriracha and sweet chili sauce aioli. I will salt and pepper the crab and dredge it in corn starch for the quick fry. Hopefully I will remember to take a picture.

For my birthday, the lovely bride made me a pie for my cake.

Tonight's hillbilly supper.  6 Applewood and cheese smoked brats, rolled around in a hot skillet, 3 slices of diced up old bacon I found in the freezer.  Sliced up 4 of the six brats, added them back to the skillet, deglazed the skillet with some room temp tap water that was in a glass by the sink, added the can of "instant jambalaya", poof supper is served.  Now I am not going to tell you all that it is gonna be as good as RPS's mussels and soft shelled crab, or anyone's smoker product, but it probably closer to reality for most of us.  There are a few small things most wouldn't things of, like using only 4 of the 6 brats, just in case it is terrible, you don't have to eat a raw hot dog for supper.

Sometimes the best eats are the easiest! 

Id eat it!

It wasn't bad actually.  In my mind I was seeing it served alongside a skillet of scrambled eggs on a creekbank with the coffee pot perking along too.
