    Tonight we’re going with fried chicken, petite butter beans & sweet corn, and BBQ bread.

    Double header of playoff baseball so ice cold longnecks and chilled wine are a match.

    Tonight I’ll be grilling thick cut bone-in pork chops indirect over cherry wood smoke.

    Our sides will be leftover petite butter beans & sweet corn, and a pot of white rice topped with Rotel tomatoes.

    Adult beverages of choice are available.

    We had a late change for supper last night. The lady that Ms. Jan’s helping take to and from Mayo had some issues when they got back to her house—that made Jan was late getting in so we picked up supper from Firehouse.

    Tonight we’ll have the grilled pork chop supper.

    Ever use lard for frying? Not heart healthy but tastes so good.

    Takes me back to my youth visiting the family farm in the way north of Wisconsin. Fresh chickens that I had to help pluck. The ladies doing the cooking fried the livers as a treat for themselves.

    Trying to work out our Saturday's menu.

    We are having over friends of my youngest (soon to be 28 years old) son for dinner. His best friend all through K-12 is vegetarian. He is also gay and we don't have a problem with that. His partner is a pescatarian so sea food is OK for him. Both are nice people.

    Thinking about making my shrimp and fennel pickled shrimp appetizer along with my roasted poblano scalloped potatoes and with a spicy lentil entree from the Nicky and David cookbook with doubled up spice.

    Yep, Mama and Grandma using lard is what I remember first. Then shortening (Crisco) I remember. We still pay for peanut oil to fry with—mainly chicken and fish.

    I don't normally fry stuff except for tostones (fried green plantains).

    I guess that carnitas is technically fried but it is in its own fat.

    My MIL insists on buying take-out tonight but I don't know what. Typically we get either Thai from Wah-Ha-Ha or gyros, stuffed grape leaves and the like from Gyro Plus. Sometimes Chinese from Yummy House. Once in a blue moon fried grouper sandwiches from Northwest Grille. It is all good.

    Pickled shrimp in the fridge and poblano gratin ready to go into a 400 F oven when the time comes. My wife made the lentil sauce last night as well as a stuffed mushroom appetizer.

    Schedule looks like Georgia/Florida football then dinner, then World Series.

    We are back in Jasper and today is Kayla’s birthday! So we will all be together to celebrate with her and her family.

    Alan will grill steaks and our sides are going to be Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and twice baked potatoes. Abbey is baking Kayla’s birthday cake.

    Adult libations will be available as desired.

    Leftovers!

    My son's friends that we had over for dinner are big movie buffs. I sent them home with some cult classics on either Blu-Ray or DVD: Friedkin's Sorcerer, Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch and Frankenheimer's Seconds.

    The first time I saw it was at a drive-in when I was an undergrad in Calif. It was on a double-bill with a spaghetti western. In the spaghetti western someone gets shot point blank, and he falls over and a little blood comes out of his mouth. Then, the Wild Bunch comes on. Quite a contrast.

    Grilling thick pork chops on the KJ with a Korean cucumber salad on the side.

    Baseball tonight. I hope that it is a competitive game.

    Tonight it’s baked lasagna with petite baby butter beans & sweet corn. Toasted garlic bread on the side.

    A relaxing tumbler of Knob Creek Small Batch 100 proof works well this evening for me and Ms. Jan’s enjoying a Moscow Mule.
