@ybmuG Did you get that 8 qt. Ninja back in 2019?
I already had the 6 qt., darn it, but I got my sister to buy that larger one (her only Meh purchase, hah.)
Made Korean chicken wings with a fresh salad with veggies from my mom’s garden and a citrusy Asian inspired dressing and pickled radish, shallots and carrots. Topped it off with dad’s home brew and a blue moon.
Dessert was inspired by a coat. Orange zest cake, hint of orange in the cream cheese whipped cream filling, chocolate ganache and chopped toasted hazelnuts.
@pooflady@ybmuG my ? also - sounds like it should work with a good alfredo and lots of salt …
And pasta? Fettucine sounds about right. Getting hungry again …
@pooflady@ybmuG we have a family recipe for ham and peas with egg noodles in a cream and cheese sauce. As kids, we loved it, especially because those few peas that wound up on your plate counted as your “vegetable” for the meal. Of course, it didn’t have the level of brand-name sponsorship the recipe above does.
This seems a risky question to ask in the current social climate, as it could lead to being canceled, me tooed or de-platformed depending on how famous or wealthy the person is.
Alexa, honey britches, could you look up some safe words for good lookin?
Mais, I’m oficially a happy and very full misplaced coonass! So glad I got to come and spend time with my parents. Heading to New Orleans and way down da bayou tomorrow and Saturday. I feel giddy as a school girl!

I think I’m going to have me some red boudin (and a mess of grits with a poached egg on top) this weekend I saved (frozen right away - gotta be careful with the real deal stuff) from my last trip down there. I’m sure @sillyheathen knows that boucherie on the Houma highway where I get it from. Their boudin burritos are the best breakfast ever. And the fresh cracklins. Mmmm. I better shut up or the tourists will ruin the place.
@sillyheathen
I’m having a cannoli right now from Brocato’s. Yumm. Best. Dessert. Ever.
I won’t eat/get/order the ones here in STL from “The Hill” because they’re just not the real deal for me. I think it’s funny seeing the local Italian bodegas (St. Louis has a deep-rooted Italian community) sell Brocato’s cookies. But you can’t get their cannolis. Then again, I liked seeing Volpi prosciutto down in New Orleans. Just not the fresh salami sliced at the deli like we have here in STL.
By the way, the Easter cookies I picked up at Brocato’s were gloriously delicious. Get some if you stop in.
@PHRoG you won’t get crawfish in summer but there’s plenty of other awesome. Or you can bring Kirk to the murder shed when I get back and I’ll make you jambalaya or a roast beef poboy or shrimp creole or gumbo or or or…
@PHRoG If they’re there in summer they are not native. They’re only around in the spring. It gets too hot in the summer. June is usually the latest you’ll see them live for a boil. Maybe they’re importing them from SE Asia?
One of the reasons it’s my favorite food on the planet is because it’s seasonal and it always involves friends and laughs and often copious amounts of fermented beverages that induce said laughter!
@macromeh@mfladd That wouldn’t be a terrible adventure for sure!
I’m kinda partial…I grew up where they make it and have had a bunch of it fresh off the line, lol!
And, I posted the wrong one actually, Java Thunder is the creamy crack I was thinking of…they only do limited runs though, because, it’s just too good. We’d all end up around 600lbs if they didn’t take it away after a few months every year, lol!
@mfladd@PHRoG My current Umpqua favorite is Chocolate Brownie Thunder. But the Java Thunder is great too!
But then there is the Tillamook Chocolate Mudslide or Chocolate Peanut Butter - decisions, decisions…
Slow smoked chicken thighs finished with a Memphis BBQ sauce served with a side of slow smoked chicken thighs finished with a Memphis BBQ sauce. I probably spent more on the hickory and oak but it sure was tasty
@mike808 they were in the first batch which was further down the table. There was a heated debate about boil mushrooms. Man I miss Cajuns and a good boil! They fight over how everything is done. Beer was in the chest. No room for that on the table!
@sillyheathen Is that new, new down-the-bayou bridge? I remember when it was a 2-lane past the sugar cane plant and l’odeur de le bagasse and we’d take the up-the-bayou bridge to bypass the traffic. Haha. Le Bon Temps, fo sho.
Grilled BBQ chicken, steamed veggies and watermelon.
We just ate grilled sausages. It was quick but it’s been a long day
Roast chicken in the Ninja that we bought from Meh!
@ybmuG Did you get that 8 qt. Ninja back in 2019?
I already had the 6 qt., darn it, but I got my sister to buy that larger one (her only Meh purchase, hah.)
@Kyeh yes, one of my first purchases. Now 3 people in the family have them.
@ybmuG Nice!
Probably having pizza. The family is scattered on Wed nights
Nope. Ham & cheese quiche

Now I need to go make the Swiss roll for dessert.
@sillyheathen citrus you say? how a-peel-ing!
@carl669 how did I not see that one coming???
@carl669 you’re going to love what I made for dessert!
@sillyheathen How does your mom have veggies in her garden already? I planted mine last month and haven’t gotten anything yet.
Not talking to me but homemade goulash for lunch and quick takeout sandwich for dinner. I had a stupid meeting shortly after work today.
Thinking maybe grilled steak tomorrow unless it is pouring.
Dessert was inspired by a coat. Orange zest cake, hint of orange in the cream cheese whipped cream filling, chocolate ganache and chopped toasted hazelnuts.
@sillyheathen Yummmmm!
@sillyheathen looks delicious but how is this inspired by a coat?
@katbyter naranja! See @carl669 for further explanation.
@katbyter @sillyheathen
look here
Looking for someone to cook for. I can’t cook for 1 to save my life, but cooking for at least 2 inspires me.
Needless to say, my meals haven’t been the healthiest lately…
@ongware Invest in a freezer. Cook for 2 freeze one.
At the diner. Greek wrap with grilled chicken and side of waffle fries.
Soup.
@yakkoTDI yay soup!
Tried something new. Ham and pea (sugar snap) pasta. Not a keeper.
@pooflady cream sauce? Alfredo?
@pooflady @ybmuG my ? also - sounds like it should work with a good alfredo and lots of salt …
And pasta? Fettucine sounds about right. Getting hungry again …
@pooflady @stolicat haven’t made this one but it sounds great with a garlic parmesan cream sauce
https://damndelicious.net/2017/12/21/ham-and-peas-pasta-with-garlic-parmesan-cream-sauce/
@pooflady @stolicat and bowties would work well, too.

Mexican restaurant leftovers - chicken enchiladas Suizas.
Food market rotisserie chicken, steamed vegetable melange (broccoli, green beans, garnet yams, zucchini, yellow peppers, roma tomatoes on a bed of baby spinach), salt, pepper, olive oil, grated pecarino romano. Don’t laugh, takes 10 minutes to prepare. Yum!
@stolicat Sounds great - so healthy!
Stroopwafle casserole.
@OnionSoup which flavor/s???
@OnionSoup @sillyheathen Beer soaked stale popcorn.
KuoH
@kuoh @OnionSoup but did you hit it with a finishing salt???
@sillyheathen well not the maple obviously, who makes Stroopwafle casserole with maple?

@sillyheathen omg!!
/giphy jealous!

/giphy and you know this man!
@PHRoG
@sillyheathen
Mon cher, mai what part you come from?
I’ma hafta step down if I pass by you house next time I down dere, too. True dat.
@PHRoG @sillyheathen
Had legit crawfish just the other week in NOLA.
And, yes, the heads were hot and juicy, but this ain’t Wendy’s.
@mike808 Mais I’m from Houma yeh! I’m going to Houma and Chauvin and then stopping back through New Orleans on the way back to my parents’ house!
@PHRoG if you don’t suck the heads, you ain’t from round here!
@PHRoG @sillyheathen
Yeah, You Rite!

@sillyheathen My grandpère family come from Morgan City.
@mike808 so they put potato salad in their gumbo!
@mike808 @PHRoG I’m guessing you mean Bourgeois Meat Market and I will be going tomorrow

@mike808
@sillyheathen I’d be in for the catfish. It’s what they’re known for. And some turtle soup. I won’t pass that up for any place that has it down there.
@mike808 hahahaha I had the thin with the turtle soup!
@mike808 @sillyheathen I’m always a sucker for decent gumbo
You guys are killing me!! I had totally forgotten how awesome that food was down there.
Might be time to plan a summer trip to my cousin’s place in Louisiana this summer just for the food,
.
/giphy drool
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
@PHRoG you won’t get crawfish in summer but there’s plenty of other awesome. Or you can bring Kirk to the murder shed when I get back and I’ll make you jambalaya or a roast beef poboy or shrimp creole or gumbo or or or…
VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot you better fuck off with those ground squirrels. You know how much I do not like them!
@mediocrebot these are not a few of my favorite things!
@mediocrebot actually the van murals and spit curls are fine. Just nix the ground squirrels and we’re golden.
@sillyheathen deal!
No crawfish during summer? Really? I mean, it’s been awhile but I’m pretty sure the crawfish shack we used to go to all the time had them year round?

Unfortunately (and fortunately)
Damn ice cream sale!
@mfladd Umpqua Dairy is better.
https://umpquadairy.com/our-products/premium-ice-cream/espresso-madness/
That stuff is essentially crack.
@mfladd @PHRoG Both are great, but I would have to undergo an extensive and prolonged taste comparison to be able to say one is better than the other!
@macromeh @mfladd That wouldn’t be a terrible adventure for sure!

Quiche!
Asparagus, ham, shallot, mushroom, chèvre, rosemary lots of black pepper, lemon zest, nutmeg
Also more crawfish because when in Rome…
@sillyheathen No sausages or mushrooms? I guess if you’re gonna half-ass it, you might as well go all in and own it.
Looks like four servings. Where’s the six pack?
@mike808 they were in the first batch which was further down the table. There was a heated debate about boil mushrooms. Man I miss Cajuns and a good boil! They fight over how everything is done. Beer was in the chest. No room for that on the table!
@sillyheathen I hear ya. If you left it on the table, you might knock it over and spill it. And that would be a shame.
@mike808 that would be abuse and completely unacceptable at any boil!

@mike808 this one’s for you ya silly couillon

Might try these out for a snack later.
@mike808 I need a full report on this!
