I’ve got shit to do today. I think I already fixed my phone this morning, so that’s progress, but I also slept in til nearly noon, so shooting par. I still need to take a shower and go get my car inspected so I can renew my registration. The point…
I’m Doing a Thing
I’ve been sitting on some PC parts. When the pandemic ramped up a couple years ago, I started snagging PC parts before the prices shot up too far. I am very dependent on my computer and the idea of a mobo crapping out during a global parts shortage scared me….
This Flank Steak Ramen is Made from Leftovers
This all started because I had a couple eggs that were already past the date on the carton. I figured I’d boil them real quick and toss them in some chicken salad. I ADHD’d when I put them in the water so I had to approximate the passage of eight…
This Shrimp Bucatini Made Me Miss Half My Saturday
Everything cooks quickly, so this whole thing comes together pretty fast. Prep what you can before you start. If you have an electric kettle, put some water on for the pasta. I’m using some nice bronze-die bucatini that should cook fairly quickly, so I’ll just pour boiling water over rather…
You WILL make these tacos.
I make these tacos all 👏 the damn 👏 time 👏. It’s pretty much two ingredients: rajas con queso. That’s strips of poblano pepper and cheese. It’s both the name and the ingredient list. I’m sure it varies from place to place and family to family, but it seems the…
Still Smokin: Trout and About
I mentioned last weekend that I had a few trout filets in the smoker. I tell myself that I hadn’t planned on smoking fish, but I knew what I was doing when I walked by the HEB fish counter last Sunday. They had a special on farmed rainbow trout which…
Smoked Swiss n Shroom Burger
If you read the smoked cheese post, you know I hinted at using the smoked swiss in a mushroom burger. If you didn’t read the smoked cheese post, you should check those pics out when you get a chance. I still have lots of smoked cheese I need to eat,…
You can add ham to pasta salad, but you can’t add pasta to ham salad.
I think that’s one of those unspoken hierarchies we all just naturally understand and agree to. Certainly, this “salad” has just as much ham as pasta, but there’s no way I’d try to convince you it’s ham salad. That’d constitute a bait-and-switch in my book. It is damn good pasta…
Smoke Cheesus
I made a cold smoker out of cardboard boxes and a mesh strainer a couple years ago. Sadly, I’ve only actually found opportunity to use it a couple times (we don’t get a lot of cool, dry weather here in TX). However, in my limited experience, I’ve found cheese to…
