    Today’s culinary adventure visits a childhood favorite of mine “chili Mac”. We’ll eat this first half of this week but got the “chili” component done - always tastes better a day or two later, hence the wait. This will go over a homemade Mac n cheese (I usually do a cheddar and Gouda mornay...

    Mmmm I loves me some ham. I have three wet cured city hams & a smoked ham in my freezer right now. Was that ham fresh or wet/dry cured? Beautiful cracklin’-esque crusty skin on that beauty as well. Last night I made depression era fried onion burgers. I love these things - so good :) however I...

    The pilaf really caught my eye - absolutely fluffy and gorgeous with some excellent curb appeal. Great job there. Haha, was looking at your meal & in my mind I was saying to myself, I’ll take some of that and that and I’ll take one of those thank you and ohhh, I’ll take four of those and … Wow...

    That is so funny that you say that. My middle kiddo (6.5y/o) is super picky. Last time I made burgers, he said exactly that. He didn’t like them because my buns were too big and NOT like McDonalds buns 😆 (subsequently, come to find out he is not a fan of grill flavor either, so this burger round...

    Ok they look pretty good. I’m letting them cool down so the crumb will set, then I’ll cut into one and see how we did. :)

    With the remainder of the pork carne adovada, I made a New Mexican red chile pork and potato enchilada casserole for dinner last night. It was delicious. Today I am playing around with my bread formula subbing in some cake flour for bread flour in an attempt to get a softer, more tender &...

    This morning I did a take on strata - think Denver omelet crashed into strata using cubed toasted English muffins. This was quite tasty although the EMs were “sourdough”. I did not care for this characteristic in this dish. Next time Id go with regular EMs. A couple days sgo I picked up a...

    Cool, that sauce reminds me of puttanesca. Looks great :) 👍🏼 Didn’t cook anything - I dropped the kids off with grandma and grandpa for pizza and a movie and the Mrs & myself snuck off for some drinks and sushi. Hmm …. well, technically I did make machaca beef a few days back with peppers and...

    Yukon gold, cheddar and ham soup. My middle kiddo requested grilled cheese so made an army of those for the boys. Mr. Picky gave me a thumbs up, so they passed lol. I made some toasts for my wife and I made an adult grilled cheese with some cheddar pimento cheese spread, peppered ham, sharp...

    Well, even on the farm while I was busy playing outside in the creeks catching crawdads, digging for old bottles & junk in the barn, falling out of trees, fishing our small pond and checking all the nooks and crannys for ticks everyday, I still had a C64 with an NES & 2600 attached to it in my...

    We grew about a half acre of sweet corn for our needs. The other half was all the other things - squash, pumpkins, onions, carrots, celery peppers, tomatoes etc. Some years we did cranberry beans too. The remaining land was field corn & knee high grass for grazing.

    Linux Could Become Illegal In The USA (Video)

    I don’t see how this is constitutional or enforceable really. It’s definitely sad that we have states puting AV in place now and unsettling that we have bipartisan representatives who think this path is constitutional and good Federal policy for the country. The real tinfoil hat says this is an...
