Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Tonight we will be treated to a homemade soup of Ms. Jan’s. Beef stew cut into smaller pieces, onions, celery, sliced mushrooms, mixed vegetables, V-8 juice, salt, pepper, season-all salt, Worcestershire sauce, and Louisiana hot sauce—simmering and smelling the kitchen up. Later she will add egg noodles.

I am in charge of frying the cornbread.

90% chance of rain has turned into overcast/cloudy this morning and sunny with blue skies this afternoon. There will be ice cold longnecks and chilled wine available on the back porch this afternoon and evening.

Life is good in Gator Nation!

 

I've been sprinkling Kraft Mexican blend cheese on my salads lately.

First off......cheese makes everything better - kinda like bacon!

But that Kraft cheese is out of this world good!

I think I recall reading that you tend to use Sargento brand cheese, Bill. Is that right?

 

Louisiana hot sauce in beef stew? Never tried that. I love beef stew.

 

Baz—You are correct!

 

Try it—you’ll like it!

 

OK I will. High bar already set though by Kraft.....just sayin'......

 

Twice baked potatoes stuffed with cheddar cheese, mushrooms, bacon bits (Whenever I cook bacon I put three slices in a plastic bag then put them in the freezer for this.), Alfredo sauce then butter.

Really nice.

 

Y’all look—

@gatorfan5220 AND @Bazza have both graduated baked potato class!!!!

 

Yah......I'm in burrito class now......

 

Do you have any idea how smug I feel right now!

 

All in good fun my friend

 

I’ll be frying fresh catfish this evening. We will have our normal sides of Ms. Jan’s homemade coleslaw, cheese grits, and hush puppies made with buttermilk.

Cold and windy here again today—started out @ 30* (windchill 26*)—clear skies and sunny with a predicted high of 56*.

Back porch ice cold longnecks and chilled wine will probably require a long sleeve or light jacket to be comfortable.

Life is good in Gator Nation!

 

Got down to 38 last night here on the barrier island......
