What's that you're eating?

Game plan.

Bought a can of Yuengling. It'll go in the bbq sauce. It's going to be a, "mopping" sauce because it'll contain flour. Extra sticky. Mesquite for smoke.

A can of Borracho beans. With a little bit diced onion and a squirt of Sriracha sauce. Smoked on the grill.


Mac & Cheese from scratch. I'll make my own cheese sauce.



(We bought a beef roast yesterday. That's happening this weekend)

What is a borracho Bean?. Borracho means drunk in Spanish. What is it in English?

What is a borracho Bean?. Borracho means drunk in Spanish. What is it in English?

Same translation. It's used to describe frijoles that have been stewed with bacon, onions, chiles, spices, etc. There's also "Charro Beans" that are basically the same thing, translated to "Cowboy Beans." The only difference between them is that Borracho Beans are cooked with beer and Charro Beans are not. The basic concept is to simmer frijoles together with whatever ingredients and spices you have on-hand to make a cheap, satisfying meal that has more flavor than just beans and salt.

The lemon pepper jalapeno chicken was excellent.

The spicy was subtle but with warmth. You could taste jalapeno but it wasn't burning your mouth out. You get a flavor of lemon chased with jalapeno.

I don't think I'll ever just make lemon pepper chicken again. It's gotta have jalapeno.

Yesterday's Sunday meals . . .

A meat pizza with side salad and a short glass of Altamont Hella Hoppy IPA:

Ate/drank it all by myself at the table, except for 2 slices of pizza that I took home & ate later.

---------------------------------------

Decided to use my rarely used cheap LEM electric slicer to slice up the remaining TriTip that I roasted the other day:

And then topped a package of Shrimp Ramen w/a couple of slices of the TriTip, a sliced hard boiled egg, some sliced green onions & Togarashi (Japanese chili powder) to eat out of the pot for a late night snack:

Will use the rest of the sliced Tri-tip to make more Ramen, a Tri-tip Sandwich "Wrap" in a flour tortilla and/or just to snack on straight off the plate.

Leftover cottage pie, doesn't look like much now since I forgot to take pics when I baked it yesterday. I cubed up some chuck roast rather than using ground beef and I am glad to report it was perfect. Chopped habanero for good measure.

The guy for whom I sharpened a few of his knives has came through with the pecan and peach wood.

So tonight it's Pork Ribs.

I get it. There are times I don’t know what I want to eat, so I’ll start by pan-frying some corn tortillas in butter. Is that how it started? Because I feel like that’s how it would start for me.

If you're going to tell me there is a better breakfast than this, then we're gonna have some words.

Nah, there was a big catered spread for taco making at my office but the meats were all cold.

That looks good but I’d prefer it with sausages & bacon

Sliced Tri-Tip prepared 3 ways:

Ramen:

Previously shown in the pot with sliced hard boiled eggs & topped with sliced green onions and togarashi. The broth warms up the Tri-tip w/o overcooking it.

Plated:

Warmed the Tri-tip in the microwave on low (level 2 for 3 mins; just enough to take the chill off) served w/steamed white rice & half moon cut zuchinni w/horseradish on the side. Could have made some beef broth or gravy to heat up the Tri-tip to serve it with, but that's a lot more work.

Wrapped:

Warm the Tri-tip in the microwve on low (as above), warm the flour tortilla in a pan on the stove, coat the tortilla w/the condiments of your choice (I used Kewpie Japanese mayo, French's yellow mustard & horseradish) and just roll up & eat.

Earl Campbell's sausage. Grilled. Smeared with Carolina sauce.

Beans of some sort. Mesquite for smoke. Small fire. I wanna smoke the sausage a bit. It'll split the casing when it's done.

Steamed yellow potatoes.

(Those black chips of carbon are indicating I need to clean the lid of may grill. I'll pick them out tonight. Wash the lid tomorrow.)

Earl Campbell's sausage..........

Damn, I knew he was a helluva running back, but I am even more impressed now that I have seen this. I don't know how he ever made it back to the line of scrimmage without tripping over that hawg first.

Butternut squash and meatballs for dinner tonight.

My wonderful wifey packed this tasty snack in my nose bag today. It’s probably got more chemicals in it than a post-apocalyptic landscape but sure is yummy !

I love that brand of smoked salmon and those snack packs look awesome. All its missing is a pouch of capers.

Its been raining all day. Dark and gloomy.

Tonight it's the last two chicken thighs. With rice in a sauce.

So the chicken is getting fried. The rice boiled. Once the chicken is done. I'll make a pan sauce with a little white wine and chicken broth. Throw in some whole kernel corn, diced onion. Cook it down a bit and I'll then add the rice to the sauce.

Stick the chicken back in the pot. Cook for few minutes longer.

Served....Chicken and rice.
