Fiscally Responsible Friday Nights

After a week with the kiddies, (despite a shredding band practice) I really needed a beer. So did J-Pie. And what better ivory to the ebony of this malted beverage than fire and animal. Inspired by salty's CLUCKFEST of last week, we set out to procure chicken and beer. (and a little guac for good measure but we ate that so fast no photo exists). However, when T-Bones are on sale for $4.99 a pound, and in these economically tough times, we did the fiscally responsible thing and forgot all about chicken. Brought em home, cracked that beer and dry rubbed some amazing spice mixes into that red flesh (Pork Chop Spice and some BBQ seasoning. (Note: when your gay uncle sends you some custom blended spice mixes from the snobbiest shoppes in Denver, you USE them... liberally) A mere six minutes a side, pull em off and drop some mixed organic greens next to it to roughage up the intestines before assaulting the colon with that rare T-BONE.

(Above left you will see my steak, and on the right the meat that now resides in J-Pie's colon for the next year)

Fud off you chic-fil-a cows, we are more YOU.

The New School Lunch

Apparently my office smells like Turkey. Not the country, the fowl. I admit, I'm a massive fan of the sliced TOM lunchmeat. Today, or Wednesday rather, I decide to mix it up and put my regular turkey and bread creation to shame. It's all about the ingredients on hand. Sliced a hunk of sundried tomato foccacia bread in half, three slices of turkey pastrami, a slice of buffalo spiced cheddar and piled on organic arugala greens. What, did I go to Ballantyne's swankiest and snobbiest deli to acquire these ingreeds? Nope, Harris Teeter. In Albemarle. Yeah, really.

MY school lunch is much tastier than a slice of MEGA PIZZA. Grade: 4.0

Holy CLUCK thats tasty!

BBQ time down south here...thank christ. popped the backbone outta this beauty and she butterflied nicely. a witches brew of sherry wine, olive oil, paprika (n about everything else i had layin around) kept this chick warm overnight. threw it on the hot spot for quick sizzle then backed that ass up for about a 45 minute long slow roast...you betcha. i had the whole neighborhood peekin' out the windows on this one kids. 

CinnaPretzel

Now this delicious piece was created by the great "Cinnabon" but microwaved by yours truly. You can prolly buy this treat at your local grocery store. all ya do is pop it in the ol hot box for a couple minutes, take it out and slather with the frosting (included in the pack). then place on a paper plate to show its simplicity. Enjoy

Loin Punch

this pile of pork loin wrapped skillfully in strips o bacon was cooked in a cast iron skillet in a wood fireplace (bbq was out o gas). my buddy Drew was so stoaked he was about wet himself...and who wouldn't!

as if the meat wasn't enough to stop up 2 or 3 arteries, i decided to drape some of the Pierce family's special sauce (blue cheez n hot sauce whipped together...delicious). a little garlic pasta n g-bread (which was proly the tastiest chunk of dough i've rammed down my throat in a while) rounded out this slugfest. i called this "Loin Punch" becuase minutes after finishing this i found myself passed out on the couch for the night.

The Wild Hog.

This delicious bastard handles that hangover like a greasy tiger wrestling a shitty squirrel.

A little Jimmy Dean tag teamed with some tasty bacon sit a top a perfectly sizzled over easy egg. Knooks and crannies hold this delectable breakfast beast together.  I give this one two tiny thumbs up.

chick tacos

little freshness for dinner. roasted shredded chicken throw in a softshell with sour cream hiding at the bottom. bit o lettuce, corn n black beans complete these two kids. key is the hot sauce o course. hit da spot.
