Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Tonight's Supper/Dinner was/is ?

Reminds me of an old roommate. Back when we were both young, drank a bit, and had other priorities, food was not one of his when the budget was tight. Beer was (at the time I understood that!) I subsisted on $1 a pound bacon and liver from the butcher shop down the street. He ate popcorn or baked potatoes.

Tonight's casserole came out OK. Looks preety good and tastes good too:

That does look good, and I'll wager it was good.

Tri tip steaks on the grill.

Put them on the hot grill, go to med+. Salt and pepper after ya pull them. Tri tip is one of those cuts that, imo, benefits from being cooked to med or a bit more. MR or rare tri tip is a chewy SOB.

Mushrooms sautéed in butter and steak drippings with a dash of Worcestershire sauce as a topper.

Baked tater.

Green salad.

Got damn!!!! It’s good to be alive!

Mesquite grilled chicken thighs topped with mango salsa and lemon broccoli....

Nooooo!!!!!!!!!! Grin.....

Pizza Hut before the fire meeting.


The kids like pizza.

Wife had a chicken parm sandwich....she said was quite good.


I had the standard. Buffalo wings, bread sticks and a trip through the salad bar.

Skin on, bone in thighs are the best part of da bird !!

Truth^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thats right.

Its the perfect ratio of meat and skin/seasoning/breading.

Not to mention the juciest.


I have no idea how anyone likes a chicken breast.

I don't mind it, but it is at its best the next day - cold, sliced, in a sandwich with Miraculous Whip (please see signature line #1), salt, lettuce, and a slice of tomato.

Deer loin Pho/noodle soup.

Especially if the bird is a turkey that came off my smoker/grill!

I love turkey legs, chicken legs, pheasant leg........................etc.

Guess one might say I'm more of a leg man than a "breast" man?

Geno

PS, I have nothing against breasts either..........might be time to visit the newest BTE!

Oh, I forgot to mention,

for a bunch of reprobates we sure seem to eat well.

Geno

That aint no schit!


Nowadays I only eat Spam and canned chili when I want to.

Which for me is fairly often.

Not dinner but I made Biscuits and Tomato Gravy for breakfast.
I'd never heard of it but I ran across a recipe the other day and had to try some.
Boy am I glad I did. It's a bit of a PITA to make due to all the ingredients but well worth it.
I left the Bacon I cooked to make the drippings in the gravy (who in their right mind wouldn't) and omitted the Celery Seed because I didn't have any but it didn't seem to hurt it.

Any of you southern boys make Tomato Gravy.....if not you should.

Tomato Gravy?

Never heard of such a thing.


BTW.....whats your weather like Charlie?


Cool enough for a while I could send something perishable?

My favorite aunt often made tomato gravy. Mmm good.

I bought some boneless skinless Chicken thighs a while back thinking it would be easier to shred for soup. I won't make that mistake again....it dried out something terrible even though I covered it with foil while baking.

I guess that Tomato Gravy's a Southern thing Jim cause it was new to me too.

We're in the 40's at night and mid to high 60's during the day.

National weather service says it's gonna be that way for the next week.
