Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

Cooler here all day—pot of chili simmering to serve over white rice covered with Sargento fine shredded sharp cheddar—

As is the case most days “I love everything ‘bout a col’beer”—especially an ice cold longneck—

 

You are da’ man....

 

Tonight it’ll be fried chicken, fresh steamed cabbage, and Dixie Lily yellow rice with rotel tomatoes on top—

Ice cold longnecks are both a staple and a must!

“I wonder what the po’folks are doing”—JK Horne, Jr.

 

Got to flush that game outta my mind so I’m doing that on the Green Egg today—

It’ll be smoked beef plate ribs over applewood smoke, baked potatoes, Classic Romaine Salad topped with vine ripe tomatoes, and a pan of jalapeño laced cornbread—

The ice cold longnecks are ready to go—you can bet I’ll make sure that they will compete throughout the efforts of preparing this evening’s meal—

 

Sounds great!

 

Tonight it’ll be fresh fried catfish, cheese grits, homemade coleslaw, and hush puppies—

The ice cold longnecks will do their part well I’m sure—

 

On the other side of the kitchen with a whole day of yard work on tap a pot of hamburger-vegetable soup was put on early this morning to simmer—

Shaved Vidalia onion, cut up baby carrots, fresh snapped green beans, cut up celery hearts, whole kernel white and yellow corn, petite diced tomatoes, and cut up fresh okra were added in with the browned and drained ground chuck with the stock coming from a large bottle of V-8 Juice—salt, coarse black pepper, Morton’s Season All seasoning, and a few shakes of Ed’s Red hot sauce and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce are mixed in for our preferred taste—

Sargento’s Fine shredded sharp cheddar for a topping if it’s wanted—

The yard work is done, a well deserved shower, the kitchen’s smelling good and I’ve got back porch time with some ice cold longnecks—

 

I want to go to dinner at both of your houses!!!

I had a Greek salad and tzakiki. Though @GatorLurker would be proud of me today. I kept my liquor clear and no tobacco. I will still die younger than the US average but I won’t work to 67 either so net win???

 

I took it to mean: Your visitation is fine but if she comes, then it is an occasion.

Which would be more than fair.

No, it wasn’t ouzo though that would be fantastic with some lamb. At the Greek restaurant it was South African Sauvignon Blanc and then I went to an Irish pub to watch the Barca vs Liverpool Champions League match and had gin and tonics.

 

Here ya go guys.....baseball food! Let me know what you think.....
