Perfect time of the year for fresh watercress from one of my favorite springs. This batch is spicy.

Well, it smells like weinies baked with sauerkraut and a honey crisp apple peeled and chunked. With some mashed potatoes. Not eating it yet but close.

Egg sandwich w/ caramelized onion butter seasoning, provolone, and mayo. Delicious!

Short ribs came out awesome.

Some snow crab on the smoker for extra flavor.

Never had smoked crab. How'd it taste?

Here's an easy recipe that we make all of the time. It's a big hit at parties.

Dan Dan Noodles

Ingredients:
• ½ cup peanut oil
• 1 cup roasted peanuts (unsalted)
• 2 small jalapeño, minced
• 2 small garlic cloves, halved
• One ½ inch slice of fresh ginger, peeled
• 5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili oil
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey, maple syrup)
• 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
• 4 tablespoons peanut butter
• Kosher salt
• 16 ounces Chow Mein noodles
• Cucumber matchsticks, sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, sesame seeds and lime halves, for garnish

Directions:
In a large skillet, heat the peanut oil. Add the peanuts and fry over moderate heat until golden, about 8 minutes; let cool slightly. Transfer the peanuts and oil to a food processor. Add the jalapeño, garlic and ginger and process until minced. Add the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, Sriracha, sugar and sesame oil and process until smooth. Season generously with salt.

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water; pat dry. Toss the noodles with the dressing and mound in serving bowls; top with the garnishes and serve.

Going to send this to the wife. She loves Dan Dan.

I live in the Ozarks. There's a local place that makes their weinies with beef and pork. Way better than any other I've had. Kraut to help with digestion and Pacifico because.... Well because....

Never had smoked crab. How'd it taste?

I love doing it that way. Slightly smoky flavor and I use butter with a few dashes of Tabasco. My mother and mother in law prefer it steamed rather than smoked, so I usually alternate.

Home cooked chicken stir fry tonight.

I have a relatively new to the mainland Puerto Ricans neighbor. There's quite the inner family point involving the house...


But he brang me over a plate of authentic Puerto Rican food. Same noodles, same rice, and same chicken thigh. But with seasoning that has a pickle taste to the cheese noodles.


This is the second time he did this.


He's never had deep south home cooking. So ill set up cooking him a dinner.

Yeah, he needs to realise the possibility of some jalapeno.


It would set his wife's food off. If you know what I mean.

We had a Puerto Rican restaurant open up nearby awhile back. I was excited to try it as I had never (to my knowledge) experienced Puerto Rican cuisine. I was somewhat shocked by how bland it was. It was good, just didn't have that extra something that I was expecting is all.

Hempler’s Andouille Sausage and baked potato for dinner later tonight. Fork-and-knife sausage on toasted demi-baguette for lunch just now.

Tonight is take out.

'Burrito Fiesta" with the meat being tongue.

I haven't tried tongue from this place before. My favorite is a place in Temple, Texas. They make a tongue burrito that's out of this world.

So hopefully, the place down the street is just as good.

I didn't want to say anything but, Yes. It's incredibly bland. There's seasonings in it but they're delicate tasting. The chicken was cooked in an oven, covered dish, and it wasn't browned before going in the oven. Plain white rice. And the pickle flavored mac and cheese.

My palate is kinda burned out. But I'm not biting a raw jalapeno in half. I could barely taste it. Going by texture instead of flavor to know what I was chewing.

Fried catfish at the camp



First bottle of rice whiskey, good flavor and very smooth.
Comparable to Gentleman Jack flavor wise but a touch smoother.

Baked potato baked until skin crispy. Half old school, butter, sour cream and homemade bacon bits. Other half Bacon bits, French dressing and Bleu cheese crumbles.
Obviously Bacon goes well on anything .

Cinnamon, cheese, plain, and caramel. My Mom is an amazing cook and baker. At this point in life, I should probably weigh 500 lbs instead of 206 !

I’ll pass on the kind words. Thank you and Happy New Year !
