No pictures?!

You know you can't talk food here without pictures!!!

Case in point:
This was tonight's "Fat guy Foodgasm" as I'm calling it. I was also thinking of calling this dish my "Ode to being a carnivore" but I'm not sure which now to call it.

Bacon Cheddar burgers, topped with sharp cheddar, an onion ring, chili (left over from the chili cook-off), a fried egg, and pepper jack cheese.

All I have to say is... DAMN!

CBear, those burgers look great, but I'll take a Guinness, please. Incidentally, Y-beer is now available in RI. Regardless, I think you and I can work out a certain symbiosis... You cook, I'll eat. (or is that a parasitic relationship - I can't tell).

After the Yuengling I switched to Smithwycks. Something just sexxxy about a Smitty!

And if you are buying the food, I'll cook the food... I have NO problems with that... Speaking of... Do you need a cook on your boat?

I had Swiss steak over mashed taters and a bottle of mt dew for supper in a field on the tailgate of a pickup. I'm still working for a farmer and am really enjoying it. The last few days I've been driving the tractor with a grain cart attached to it. I'm emptying combines and filling trucks with it.

dang...15 y.o. and both arms in casts for 6 weeks...no porn for you, young man!

I will at some point learn not to be swigging beer while reading snark.

yogurt. quality yogurt.
If your gut isn't hosting the right culture, you ain't gonna be able to digest the lactose sugars in milk.
symbiosis is a wonderful thing, folks.

Incidentally, 'Gansett is being made at the High Falls Brewery in Rochester, NY.....neighborhood beer, eh?
On another note, Daiz, I am bringing some leftover (spring specialty beer) Noonan Black IPA from the Smuttynose Brewery here in Po-town. I think you're gonna like it.
Just to be sure it's OK, I'm having one right now.....yup...still delicious.

My Neko loves him some greek yogurt. He gets a bowl of it about once a week and just had it tonight. Its funny because i didnt expect him to like it. But he seems to like yogurt more than raw eggs. He eats the raw eggs just fine but is more excited when he see the yogurt. He gets both once a week.

He doesnt really like any fruit. he will lick a banana or watermelon a few times but then he just leaves it there and walks away. He ignores strawberries.

Meat. Raw meat and bones. Any meat and every meat i have tried organs and all he devours. He goes crazy for chicken or turkey legs and necks though. LOVES rabbit as well fur and all.

He is also about as addicted to peanut butter as i am. But ill fight his little butt over PB. Its happened. He tried to get my PB toast and we were rolling. He went for my arm, so i bit his ear. He knows who is boss LMAO


I love my hard headed doge. He says, "WOW yummy much flavor food so WOW!"

Dex, where do you get the Boudain from? Also do they ship? I got a hankering that needs satiating.

Also GSO, where did those sausages come from? Also got a hankering...

I posted this a while ago, but you musta missed it in the snark. They do really good boudin, but only ship the non-dried meats when the weather is cooler. Should be getting close now though. If I'm not mistaken, Dex lives not too far away from Zabcikville, so there is a chance he got the boudin there as well.

The thinner ones are "dried sticks" vs the thicker "dried sausage." As I mentioned once in the Snark, this is why I can't abide Slim Jim's anymore...

For those interested, you can get more (in person or phone in an order for shipping) from Green's Sausage House in Zabcikville, Texas. It's a small town with Czech influences about 10 miles east of I-35 at Temple (an hour or so north of Austin).

If you're ever in the area, you owe it to yourself to also stop and eat at the cafe. For an appetizer, the boudin balls are to die for. My brother who used to live in Houston took some of their boudin to work once and a nurse from New Orleans said that it was better than her momma made...not something that folks say lightly around here. For the boudin balls, they put a cube of pepperjack cheese in the middle of an 1.5" ball of boudin, then roll it in bread crumbs and deep fry it. Yum! Another favorite is the sausage burger...a 1/4 pound patty of breakfast sausage on a bun with yellow mustard, diced onions, and hamburger dill slices.

I'll be glad when 7 November gets here and I can go home...

 

[Chameleonbear]

So, to order I have to call in? Cause I'm totally alright with that...

 

[DunkEm]

After all the raving about the boudin at the Spring Gathering, I emailed Dex and asked him where he got it. He said here - http://www.beststopinscott.com/

Don't know if that's where he got it for the Fall, but Scott, La is the official boudin capital of the world. And that place is the best stop in Scott.

Or at least that's what the website says.

All this talk of convenience stores reminded me of a story.

My dad used to be a cop and he told me one time while buying coffee in uniform a guy came in and robbed the place. My dad was standing right next to the guy when he pulled a knife or something and demanded the money. So my dad drew his .357 S&W (that's how long ago it was) and was like "How dumb are you? I'm standing right here!"

I'm guessing drugs were a factor... you never know though, some people just really are that dumb.

Possible, but he probably would have recognized that. He told me that story after I told him about a video I saw of the exact same thing somewhere else. Guy tried to rob a store with a knife while a uniformed cop was standing next to him waiting to pay for his coffee.

I'd bet James is right. I found out that one of my friends from grade school had gotten into drugs and drinking heavily when he was in his late 20's. Apparently was high on night and decided he needed some booze. So he went to the liquor store, pulled a stocking over his head and robbed the place at knife point. He then went outside, took off the stocking and went back in to buy a bottle of liquor.... A good guy when he's sober, but really, really dumb when he's not.

Yep. I just called and told one of the ladies what I wanted and gave them my credit card number. She gave me an estimate on cost, and I called a couple days later to get the actual cost plus a tracking number. First time I'd ordered from them and it was pretty painless for me and tasty for you all that were at the Gathering.

we've still got it, yo.

Incidentally, 'Gansett is being made at the High Falls Brewery in Rochester, NY.....neighborhood beer, eh?

apparently the same place that made Gennee Cream.
It isn't local anymore (the marketing says if we buy enough it will come back *lol*), but the brewer who formulates their other varieties IS a local, and i've met him. So far TWO of his recipes are probably stuff I'd buy on purpose. I'll bring a couple. The other... we'll see if I can get some on the way.

On another note, Daiz, I am bringing some leftover (spring specialty beer) Noonan Black IPA from the Smuttynose Brewery here in Po-town. I think you're gonna like it.

WOOT!
I'm game, even for an IPA. Too bad I couldn't get any Butternuts - that's from NYState too, but it disappeared around here.

Did someone ask for pictures of food?

Been cooking most of my meals in the hotel room to save some extra money for new toys....

But had a craving for Korean and picked some up at a place in El Paso that was recommended by locals. Came with one whole container of kimchi, plus a container of the spicy squid and a third one with rice. Got two meals from the squid and rice.

Actually, that's me... I'm near Bartlett, about 30 miles south of Zabcikville. Dex is in/near Boerne, about 170 miles south of Z-ville.

Becker BK7 spotted in the show "Arrow" Season 2, Episode 2 (min 37:51)

Just saw it on Netflix. Hells Yeah!

Sooo... the Daizee Rule of Internet Food Photography is that if you can't tell from the picture if it's coming or going, don't post it...
Some dishes absolutely need to be professionally 'plated' (this is one), and others should never be photographed.
For instance: Chili - NEVER show a picture of chili unless it's covered in melted cheese with some little green garnish on top. Else it looks like dog puke.

Lesson #1 from drawing/painting/etc.: Learn to see what is actually there, not what your mind interprets is there. The camera only see the reflected photons...

 

[worldwood]

Looks like your not the first to notice it.... http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1118175-Becker-BK7-on-TV-show-Arrow

And i spent all my hard earned time (all of about 5 minutes) finding the episode, fast forwarding to the part, screenshotting it, and uploading the image for nothing.

 

[worldwood]

I know exactly where it is. If it's Earth City it must be coming through UPS? Although Fed-Ex has a hub also around there but I'm not POSITIVE that it's in Earth City itself.

Never mind, the FedEx is BASICALLY right across the street... Who knew!

 

[worldwood]

Its coming UPS.... So is that a yes? LMAO

And i was wrong tracking says... Scheduled Delivery: Tuesday, 10/14/2014

Monday i get my 12" Magicut file. Tomorrow i get the KME base and a center punch. Had it mixed up.
