What's Cooking?

I have to say that tonight was just fast food. I still have an hour and a half to get home from my fishing trip. Tomorrow night should be a better meal.

Oh yeah food.  Chili melding now to be accompanied by grilled cheese sandwich.  Having trouble deciding between pepper jack or gouda.  Dang it.

Both!

Hillbilly huevos ranchera if you do over easy eggs on top of hashbrowns, and then chili and then some melted cheese and then some hot sauce of your liking.

Yes Yes YES!!!

A couple of smallmouth fillets. And fried taters to compliment. 

Now for the funny part. I meant to open a can of Pork-N-Beans but opened a can of Pintos I was going to use for a Cornbread salad. Ooops. 

 

Did you eat the worms or pick them out? I hear some folks like them but the gritty vein tastes like poop to me.

    Ness the tip of a fillet knife will flip those grubs across the room when cleaning them. You know like a food fight in school with a spoon and peas. That and Chief can keep and eat six of those stream bass daily until the 28th. He may even have a possession limit in the freezer too .  Looks tasty Chief,

  Pictures or it didn't happen .

You gotta give me enough time to get my pictures and final edits in, man. About 2 hours is usually all I need ?

BTW, those were some great looking taters.

So we were out and about yesterday evening killing some time before a party, and wandered into this place that sells balsamic vinegar and olive oil. All kinds, different flavors.  Sipped a lot of stuff until we were both a little queezy. But, dang, there were some tasty ones. Came home with a plain 18-year-old balsamic and a white balsamic flavored with cranberry and pear. The stuff pours about like warm maple syrup. Tonight, the  cranberry/pear turned a blah salad into something really tasty with only about a half teaspoon of it. I can sip this stuff right out of the bottle. Dang.

At the party later last night, my sister in law had made a 'King Cake', which is, I guess, a pre-Mardi Gras tradition. A cake with a little baby Jesus in it somewhere. Get the little baby Jesus in your piece and it's good luck for the year. Cut or bite or chew little baby Jesus and things won't go so well I guess. (At least that's my take--no official word on that. I'm not superstitious, just a little stitious, but I was careful.)So, here's the Little feller wrapped in swaddling pastry: 

PS: I always thought little baby Jesus would be a little more olive-skinned and black haired, based on his neighborhood. This one was a little more like me: pinkish, toe-headed and easily sunburned.

PSS: sorry for the last part of this post.

          Kind of sort of like the duck or goose last act of defiance.  Missing finding a steel pellet when cleaning the bird only to later find it with a set of teeth.   We know of King cake too and it even involved my sister in law. We are the black sheep of Mrs. BilletHead's family. This does not bother us at all. Sister in Law was transplanted to Louisiana so this makes her an expert in things indigenous to that region. One year when we were not so much out of favor with that tribe SIL brought us a King Cake. Being a bit frightful SIL might of been dabbling in some of the Voodoo crafts of the swamp country when she left we dug into the cake to rescue the Baby Jesus. Did not eat any cake but did succeed in the rescue. I think this brought us some good Mojo. So far we have lasted almost forty years and her family is a mess. Let's see the Mrs. has two brothers and three sisters and she is the only one to graduate high school. The only one to have and keep a good job. The only one not being a smoker, alcohol abuser and druggie. See there it pays to rescue the baby Jesus. Praise the lord and good things will be coming to you Ness! True story,

  Amen says the BilletHead.

You guys the black sheep?? Somebody doesn't understand sheep. ? Sounds like somebody's not happy, and that's on them. Keep on smilin'. 

There was nearly some drama last night, but I dodged it. And that's all I've got to say about that. 

Back to food: baby bro brought some ribs that were just outstanding. Tender but with some bite and spiced perfectly. Dang. Shoulda stuffed some in my pocket.
