Unless there's been a horrible mistake, it's beanie weenie. With lots of onions.

I much prefer Weenie Beenie, as in the Dave Grohl Foofighters song. Classic DC Half Smokes with chili and chese for more than 70 years.

Some baby backs from the ceramic smoker…

I'm doing homemade chili tonight. I mean, it has to be healthy right?

Red beans, black beans, pento beans.. can of crushed tomatoes, chili powder, onion, red pepper flakes and ground round.

I think the ritz crackers are the only unhealthy bit.

Made potato salad to accompany the last of the leftovers.

Snuck out for some BBQ today. Served as it should be.

Cold and windy outside today, I’m freezing. Got tied up for 2 hours on a Telemedicine call I was included into with my mom & her doc today. Missed lunchtime, so opted for something later that was filling, fast, tasted good, and would warm me up for later.

Grilled Ham & Cheese:

Super soft medium cut Deli White Breadi.
Sara Lee Honey Maple thin cut Deli Ham.
Deli Wisconsin Pepper Jack Cheese thin cut.
Fresh Red Bell Peppers cut into thin strips.
Fresh Jumbo Red Tomatoes cut thin.
Hellmamm’s Real Mayonnaise generously applied in layers.
Farmer Owned Land O Lakes unsalted Butter to gently fry each side over low heat.

1/2 Large Dragon Fruit for a later snack.

I've been on this healthy eating thing lately. So the nachos have three helpings of vegetables: refried beans, green onions and jalapeno peppers. And now that I think about it the chips are corn which is also a vegetable. What could possibly be more healthy?

Haven't been there for awhile, so I stopped by Lockeford Meat & Sausage early this morning to stock up on a few meat products.

And this is what I bought:

A total of 17# of meat products, starting at the upper left:

1) 2.5# Hot & Spicy Beef Sticks (12)
2) 2.5# Terriyaki Beef Sticks (12)
3) 2.0# Linguica sausage (4)
4) 6.5# Smoked Ham Hocks (4)
5) 1.75# Hot Italian Sausage (8)
6) 1.75# Mild Italian Sausage (8)

Except for the beef sticks that I could kill in a couple of days, this should last me for awhile. LOL!

After stopping in Lockeford to stock up on meat, I headed to Logorio's Bar & Grill in Farmington, my favorite dive bar spot for grilled oysters.

Was going to have my regular order of 1/2 dozen grilled oysters and a large salad but (for some reason) they didn't have any salad mix, so I ordered a full dozen oysters instead along w/2 beers (Modelo draft, in this case) that I always order as well.

Not the best of pics but this is the oysters before:

And this is them after:

I easily could have eaten a dozen more.

What do you do with the ham hocks? Everything looks great!


Wife got a new thing in the mail today and instantly began cooking on it when we got home.

What do you do with the ham hocks? Everything looks great!

I mainly use them for in soups that I make with split peas, lentils & black eyed peas.

Unlike ham hocks that you usually find at the supermarket, Lockeford's ham hocks are very meaty. So, you also can braise/debone the ham hocks and serve the meat as a main w/beans & rice on the side.

There's also a shrimp & ham hock gumbo that I sometimes make with them.

Been wanting to try my hand at an Americanized Bistecca alla Fiorentina for a while. I found the perfect dry aged Porterhouse cut (40 ounces) the other day (kinda spendy) and gave it a shot this evening . . .







Turned out OK for a first try. Just ever so slightly overcooked, and I could work some on my carving technique.

Still . . . It was damn delicious.

Looks perfectly cooked to me. Well done (your technique, not the meat)!

Found an old pic of my dad at Nathan's Hotdogs with a giant hotdog. No idea who the other people in the photo might be. Now I want a hotdog or brat...

A day late. Cabbage, carrots and red potatoes will go in later. This is one of our favorite meals.
