Those look amazing, David. I definitely would love them.

57c/135F is my perfect temp for pork t-loin. So you're spot on in my book I think rotuts likes it at that temp too but I could be mistaken.

Welcome to EG, Dante and thank you very much for your service to our country!

All of this asparagus is making me so hungry for it. @JoNorvelleWalker If it's homemade bread, ones not best is still pretty damn good. I told my husband the other day that I feel like we are in a food rut--which would be my fault because I'm the one that makes dinner lol. So, after this renovation is all done I am going to break out my cookbooks and get adventurous. Meanwhile, when I was at the big city grocery store the other day I snagged a can of Hearts of Palm. I don't know why really....maybe someone around here used it recently. Anyway, I've never had it. Google showed me a lot of salads. I settled on a simple one. I just wanted to see if this was something I'd want to buy/make again. Hearts of palm with thinly sliced onions, a bit of olive oil, champagne vinegar, the worst tomato ever and salt and pepper and parsley. I liked the salad even with the horrid "tomato" so I know I'll love it if/when we get some from the garden. To me, hearts of palm are very similar to canned artichoke hearts. I can only imagine that fresh hearts of palm are amazing. However, another google told me that I'll likely never get to have a fresh one because they have no shelf life and are grown pretty far away from me. Anyone here had fresh ones before? Sheesh, that was a long diatribe ...lol...sorry. Venison burgers to go with. Yes, it was too tall for my mouth.

Had to wipe the drool off of my keys to type this. All sorts of possibilities with something like this...... Thinking Italian like mozz cheese and gravy.....or breakfasty with hollandaise sauce....

Thank you, kind sir! What a great compliment!

Hatch chile and chicken enchiladas

Your asparagus looks lovely. I can't wait for ours to make it's way through the dirt towards the sun

*faint*

My first car was around that price

Thank you, Chris, for taking time and I love your story! I feel the same way (scared to run out) about pickled beets..... I will have to try kimchi. Next time I'm at the Asian market I will try to find the brand that you've shown me.

Had to google Lancashire hot pot. Lamb or mutton under potatoes....I like the cheese addition.

You know, I've never eaten kimchi. Every time I see you or Anna or anyone eating it, I always think I should rectify that. Or maybe I would hate it lol.

I, too, went out and saw the bright Venus shining down. I would 100% rather be where you are than at a crowded, loud Mardi Gras party

We had raw oyster and fried oyster po boy sandwiches. I could eat another one of those sandwiches for dinner tonight. Soooo good. Yeah @kayb I gotta try that boudin cake, too. Soon.

Cyalexa's buns

Looks like a magazine picture, Norm! Oysters for Mardi Gras.....raw and in a po boy. Good stuff.

I could only hope to have a freezer that looks like this. We used to camp for just weekends at a time and mine was....well....let's just say you're amazing.

That pizza is my kind of pizza.

It's Fat Tuesday, ya'll I'm not as on the ball as I was last year....I don't know what I'm making for tonight yet. I do have some oysters....I do have fixings for muffaletta's .. My mom made this yesterday --a savory boudin king cake. She made her own bread. She sent me pictures. It looks scrumptious. edited to say that I tried to get live crawfish delivered here today, but they couldn't do it. They will be here Friday, though...so yeah, crawfish boil for us...so it's like Mardi Gras week here Anyone doing anything special?

Throw it in your IP for 5 or 10 mins

Chicken done in the CSO .......

Wings, gizzards, waffle fries and chocolate covered strawberries. A well-rounded meal.

Dang it, Chris. Now I have to add this to my list along with the mushrooms. I've never had pickled pig ears.....

I am liking the above very much....minus the raw carrots. @Anna N and @rotuts have issues with bell peppers....I have issues with raw carrots lol. Cooked, I love. Raw. No. I blame Bugs Bunny cartoons. I clearly remember watching Bugs one Saturday morning and he was chomping and loving a carrot. I begged my mom for one. One bite and I was devastated. I envisioned them tasting like...well, cheese I think. Ruined me forever.
