What did you have for dinner?

Grilled cheese!

I feel like I'm 10 years old again!

Grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. Yummmmm.
You are making my mouth water. Maybe for lunch.

But that was some really really good grilled cheese last evening. We just welcomed some new neighbors next door and I've been smelling some funny burning herbs wafting through the air ever since they moved into the neighborhood.

I'm thinking that my wife and I might have caught a contact buzz from their wacky tobacky and got a serious case of the munchies.

Yummy.
 
Home made burgers, grass fed chopped sirloin. The kids loved it. Root beer floats. That's my frivoulous Friday!

When I was in Texas, I had root beer floats followed with Tequila chasers :cool-45:
I went to Texas and could not believe the size of the meals served in restaurants :eek-52:

Those were the appetizers....
Well, I had to completely forego appetisers and deserts because the meals were so huge, BUT the best steaks (and I very very rarely eat red meat as I don't normally like it. Yummy.

Yes I know, they have no control.

I was in Texas for six months, on the second week I acquired a Texan boyfriend....this was when my friend and I were in a bar. Anyhow this man, who was very nice looking, says to me "you sound like Marlene Dietrich, let's have a bier"....so, you know, what was a girl supposed to do but give in :smoke:

We get that a lot down here..
Women cant resist the Texan drawl.
I agree with that, some mighty fine men in Texas :beer:
And did I mention the steaks?
 
Going with "Chile Verde" tonight. First I browned chopped onions and the garlic in a bit of olive oil. Then I browned the pork shoulder roast for a few minutes per side (it was originally 6.6 lbs bone-in pork shoulder - but i trimmed 2lbs for use in another recipe) then threw it into the crock pot on low with some diced tomatoes, chopped up Jalapenos, and a can of green salsa......in 6 hours I'll be in heaven.

Stop it! I'm starving and I'm not going to be eating until like 8 or 9 PM. :( I'm going to have to eat some chips or something.
Screw the chips.....Have some bacon!!

The Hormel microwave bacon comes out perfectly every time in 2 1/2 minutes and best of all - no clean up!!

BACON!!!

Microwaving bacon is as blasphemous as boiling a steak.

It's for emergency use only.
 
I'm sure it was a big bore....:biggrin:
Funny you should mention that though. The wife and I were at our favorite Cajun joint and we had to sit with three girls visiting from Jersey because it was so crowded.
They of course said they were moving here after visiting and they asked a lot of question about life in Texas.
Whipped out the phone and showed em some pics of the weekend place and my firearms.
They were falling all over themselves in amazement. Then I told em I had a pistol in my pocket....they freaked and wanted me to pull it out right there in the restaurant.:lol:
Gees, that's the last thing I'd want a stranger to show me in a bar!

Yeah I here ya....
Once I explained that the guy behind the bar and half the customers were packing as well they saw the light.
One reason I don't hang out in bars....

You obviously dont live in Texas. Most everyone carries,and we have way fewer shootings even as the fourth largest city in the U.S.

It's easy to understand why Texan men and Austrian girls get along....love of guns and love of shrimp....a perfect combination :smoke:

Right up there with chocolate sauce on spaghetti. :wtf:

Here's one for ya Lucy.

The wife and I watch Triple D on a regular basis,for the uninitiated thats Diners Drive inns and Dives,not a porn show with huge breasts,and we watched a guy from Cleveland of all places make Machaca.
Intrigued we tracked down the recipe and gave it a shot.

We opted for the Anchiote paste over the powder because it's much more flavorful...this is a winner!!!
Highly recommend it!!!

Cleveland Foodie

Be sure and make the Guacamole,it's a perfect match!

A little heads up.
You wont be able to put all the salt,Anchiote paste and coffee on the meat before searing. Give it a good layer and dump whats left into your brazing pot and make sure you have room for around four cups of water or your liquid will be to strong when it comes time to toss the pulled beef in it.
It will also leave you with far more liquid than you can possibly use in one sitting,freeze it and use it on pulled chicken or pork.
 
I thawed out some ground beef enchiladas I had made a few weeks ago. Still yummy. :thup:

I'm a sucker for cheese enchiladas.
Took the wife and I a shitload of tries to get em just right.
And FUCK chile gravy!!!
Whether you're using chicken/cheese/ground beef, break up a package of cream cheese into the pan once the meat is cooked through. It gives the filling a creamy cheesy texture.

But then I guess mexican food is regional.
My favorite gravy is chicken stock based.

It's about texture and flavor. However you achieve it in order to get your desired profile works just fine. No need to get your panties in a uproar. I like a lot of chili powder and cumin and.... chipotle.
