Now aren't you something special. :lol2: Never cared much for that stuff. I'd rather have a cold beer, a chunk of summer sausage, a hunk of cheese and more cold beer....Enjoy yourself.

Going to get my fill of seafood tonite before the oil slick pushes the price up.

Tonight we are having a few friends over for drinks and hors d'oeuvres . I am making the cheesy, spinach, artichoke dip that I posted on the recipe board and crab stuffed mushrooms. It is not caviar and champagne though.

Have a great evening Alison . :wave:

I'd be more comfortable at Texas Breds party than the one you are going to Alison.

I did make a trip the the grocery store. Bought a nice looking package of London Broil. Boiled a couple ears of corn (from last years garden), Salt and peppered up one of those steaks and thru it in a hot cast iron skillet. Chopped up a jalapeno, some onion and red bell pepper and sweat it down after the steak was taken out, thru in some left over rice at the end.

It was goooooooood. Hit the spot.

Been a busy week, I'm glad my presence isn't required anywhere this evening. :nod:

Some of you may have followed the 'brinjal' thread in the cooking section so would know that the caviar was 'poor man's caviar' :lol: and was quite a hit at the party. Of course there were those that pulled their nose up at it as well ;-) The champagne was not Dom Perignon but as a toast was not too bad. We had a sitdown meal that was very tasty and verrry social. It's not every day a friend turns 50........Ooooo,that sounds sooo old :shock: .
It sounds like you all had a good evening aswell .

Ok young lady...be nice.....50 ain't old...it's just another mile marker. Glad you folks had a good time.

 

[papavillars]

boy, 50 sounds young. I am glad a good time was had by all. Texas Breds summer sausage was my lunch for a week as we paddled down the Devils River and then the LLano on the way back home.

We ate burgers off the grill and pasta salad with clean hands but dirty clothes from working on a house all day. Got our own version of "extreme home makeover" going on, it has to be ready to move in to real soon and we keep finding more things that need fixing. We're not moving, just helping a family member. We're back at it today soon as they get back with the supplies.

 

[alisonb]

.....50 ain't old...

No, it's relative just like happiness is relative .

Mo, you and papavillars had the best meal. Nothing quite like that meal after some physical exertion. If I try and recall one of the best meals I ever had it would probably be this one-
Friends and I went hiking and had to pass thru a little ghost town. We discovered a natural spring running thru the town and decided to trace it's source, which seemed to be coming from a nearby mountain. Needless to say the mountain was not as near as we thought and it started to storm so we had to hightail it back to one of the old buildings(built around 1898) soaked to the bone.
It had not been our intention to dally so long as we had a braai planned for later. So there we were, wet and hungry with a storm raging outside. Unbeknown to the rest of us, one of the guys had packed a tin of Bully Beef, crackers, cheese and a couple of ales. I never eat Bully Beef but that day it tasted like heaven!

Throw in some cracklins with hot sauce.
Finer than frog hair split four ways!

Sorry I asked ,, yuk.. :shock:
You all should get together with Angie and have a cracklin, tuna helper dinner.. :lol:

 

[1982vett]

Technique must have a lot to do with good cracklins....Ya know, bacon that is cooked to a crisp is about 50% cracklin.

Mustard sardines and pork-n-beans are one of my favorite. Usually when that's what I want, everybody has suddenly got something to do somewhere else. Fine with me, I don't like sharing anyway.
