Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Tonight it will be Taco Bean Soup—I’ll be substituting the ground beef with pressure cooked/shredded chicken—topped with Sargento Tex-Mex shredded cheese with Tostitos Black Bean & Garlic scoops on the side—

Ice cold Pacifico longnecks for this dish with fresh limes wedges—Hope everyone has a great weekend planned—

 

This week is the one I feed off what's in my freezer. Several containers of my homemade chicken/veggie/noodle soup. Plus a 1 lb. Sockeye Salmon filet that I will have tonight along with some leftover Basmati rice I made night before last. Last night I found a couple small containers of CC cookies from the Publix bakery I forgot that I had froze, and they have been deployed to my kitchen counter as well.

Right now I'm enjoying a delicious homemade salad, one of five that I made last night which will provide mid-day lunches for me the next few days. Fresh Iceberg lettuce, plenty of sliced fresh cucumber, diced celery and carrots, black olives, and then the day of consumption they are topped with sliced almond and cranberries and shredded Mexican 4 blend cheese. Today's dressing is Green Goddess. Yum!

Century ride?

 

Tonight it will be fried cube steak smothered in gravy with home made mashed potatoes, fresh okra fried, and fresh yellow squash & Vidalia onions stewed together--

The ice cold longnecks are ready to go in the Yeti and waiting on the call to "Play Ball"--

 

Man that sounds good, 74! Especially the gravy part!!!

If you get a minute, I wonder if it would it be possible to share your recipe for the yellow squash/Vidalia onion dish?

TIA!

 

So—I was standing in line at Lowe’s today and overheard two guys talking and I just couldn’t help but think of @GatorLurker as I was chuckling—
First guy:”My wife asked me to take her to one of the restaurants where they prepare your food right in front of you”.
Second guy: “Bet that was fun”....
First guy: “Not really, I carried her to Subway and that’s where the fight started”....

 

Tonight I’ve got my homemade chili—we like it served over a bed of white rice and covered with Sargento fine shredded sharp cheddar—

The ice cold longnecks are especially good with this dish, but then they are with all of our meals...

 

Well, found out Tuesday morning that here there’s a 7-day gap between ordering concrete and concrete being delivered—so our concrete guys will pour in the morning— obliviously demand is greater than supply post Michael....

Tonight I’ve got Baby Back Rack Ribs on the old Cajun Cooker smoker over cherry wood smoke with fresh zipper peas (pod okra on top of course), deviled eggs, homemade coleslaw, and some more homemade deep dish peach cobbler—

It was extremely humid today working in the yard so the ice cold longnecks are greatly appreciated and enjoyed as the evening approaches—

 

Yeah...the humidity today (and tonight) was off the charts! I just got back from WM and just bringing provisions in from the truck and sweat forming on my forehead like crazy!

I picked up provisions for Mom earlier and gave her my last salad. I showed her how I put the chopped ingredients in first and the lettuce last so when you dumped it out into a bowl it would be sitting the right way. Mom put her finger up to her temple and said "Smart!"

I picked up more salad ingredients so will be making more salads sometime tomorrow. Also a seedless watermelon, which will come in handy over the next few days.

I saw a guy in the produce section wearing a Syracuse shirt and commented "You guys better beat Clemson this year!" He was stoked and came over and we had a nice chat. Turned out he played some pro ball (Bills and Raiders) at TE position.

In one of my other forums a guy in Oklahoma stated a thread about how his wife couldn't understand how guys can start conversations up with complete strangers. I sum it up in one word - fellowship. I mean the REAL fellowship!

I found some ground chuck patties in my freezer and had a couple burgers from them for lunch and they were very good! I also found some tamales (chicken) and put them down below to thaw for tomorrow's lunch or dinner - whatever strikes my fancy.

Then again for some crazy reason, I have a hankering for something Mexican made with Poblano. Maybe I'll pick up some take out tomorrow at Mia Mexico:

Chiles Poblanos
Two whole poblano peppers stuffed with white Mexican cheese, cooked in egg white batter and topped with our special sauce. Served with rice, refried beans and three corn or flour tortillas on the side

YUM!!!

 

Funny thing on those burgers....instead of bread and butter I used hamburger dill pickle slices. Wonder if that made the difference....

 

Round 2 on the pot of chili tonight—the options will be again over a bed of white rice topped with Sargento fine shredded sharp cheddar or
chili cheese dogs—

Either way, the ice cold longnecks are a match up for the evening activities....

 

74 -

Chili cheese dogs sound good!!!

Whenever I make chili - it's usually turkey chili and I serve it over angel hair pasta with grated parm. cheese on top...yum!

Well, I had to do some work tonight right around the corner from Mia Mexico so gave in and took home a Chili Poblanos dinner.....oh my goodness......

Earlier today out of curiosity I visited YT and found this recipe - which looks incredible! Something to bookmark and try out later in the fall.....once football season is in full swing.

Up on the Q this week is our Roasted Poblano Chicken Enchilada recipe! Full recipe here: http://bit.ly/poblanochickenenchiladas Is the Poblano Pepper the most underrated pepper of all time?! If you don't think so, these Roasted Poblano Chicken Enchiladas might change your mind!​

 

Wife came back from 11 weeks in Europe Sunday. So far this week—pulled pork from a slow baked Boston butt, cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and potato salad from Publix, and tonight pizza from Leonardo’s Millhopper. Been given marching orders for fried seafood at Northwest Grill.

 

74, how do you make the gravy?

 

Christening the new back porch this evening with BBQ chicken halves—

The sides will be Ms. Jan’s homemade Mac & Cheese, cream 40’s & butter beans combo (fresh pod okra laid on top), and deviled eggs—

The Yeti is fully stocked and iced down with those ice cold longnecks for the occasion—hope everyone has a great weekend lined up!
