Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Tonight it will be fresh fried catfish, cheese grits, hush puppies, and Ms. Jan’s homemade coleslaw.

The longnecks are ice cold and the wine is chilled.

Tonight we’re going to be treated to Ms. Jan’s boneless chuck roast beef stew-vidalia onions, baby carrots, Yukon gold potatoes, and celery, simmered in as good a gravy as I’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy.

I will fry cornbread to go along with….

Beautiful day here to anchor the weekend with-hopefully everybody’s is good.

The back porch is open, restocked, and ready to go.

For LSU weekend I usually make a shrimp, chicken and andouille gumbo. But after going big & heavy all week, with the pulled pork, chili then pizza I’ve decided to just have soup for tonight. Broccoli & beer cheese soup.

Thinking my son was coming over to join us for the game, I have more than enough boiled peanuts defrosted anyway. He had to cancel last minute unfortunately. But I’m sure I can handle it.

Go Gators!

 

Tonight-leftovers it is!

I’ll watch the Yankees play the Indians tonight regardless of what the sensitive side wants to call them…..they will always be the Indians with Chief Wahoo!

The longnecks are ice cold and the wine is chilled.

The wife and I decided to take a drive through the countryside today along the NY/VT border. We hit some antique shops and with the foliage at peak currently, the views were stunning. We had a late lunch at a deli we stumbled across, which was really good …so probably going to pass on dinner tonight.

I usually don’t eat much during the day. Maybe a yogurt in the morning and nibble on fruit a little later. So Having a turkey/bacon club and kettle chips @ 2 in the afternoon has completely wrecked my appetite. But overall a fantastic day.

 

Tonight we’re going with a new recipe for us. We are making Fajita Chili. Pretty much what everyone that cooks would expect for ingredients. Boneless chicken breasts sliced into wedges. Olive Oil, minced garlic, diced vidalia onions, sliced green and red bell peppers, kidney and black beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce.

Fajita seasoning, chili seasoning, and salt/pepper to taste. Garnish will be shredded Sargento Tex-Mex cheese, chopped cilantro, diced spring or green onions and sour cream. Multi-grain Tortilla chips on the side.

Dos Equis Lager longnecks are on ice as well as Ms. Jan’s chilled wine.

Well, the Fajita Chili was really good! Can’t imagine it disappointing anyone that likes Mexican food.

Tonight I’ll be grilling chicken wings seasoned with coarse black pepper and Everglades Cactus Dust.

Our sides will be a cold tray.

The back porch is restocked and ready for your leisure time.

Finished off leftovers last night.

Tonight it’s white chicken chili.

My MIL is flying up from Jax tomorrow and staying with us thru the weekend. She has requested Sunday Sauce. Don’t have to twist my arm. It will be a busy day in the kitchen tomorrow.

 

So, Lurk—
Is the moral to the story that your son got to drink free shots at your house last night after supper? It has happened before!

 

Pre-Covid we were usually in Bonn every summer for a conference, and travelled elsewhere in Germany, including Munich. German breakfasts are good, but I would never combine the words “Gourmet” with “German cuisine.”

 

Tonight we’re going to have our Fajita Chili leftovers—pretty much looking forward to our supper tonight.

Chilly to cold here the last 24 hours. Mid 50’s during the day and a low last night of 39*….

MLB NLCS & ALCS games this afternoon and tonight. Adult libations are your choice.
