4 slices of thin "deli" turkey on an old hamburger bun with miracle whip on both sides. And some stale potato chips from the bottom of the bag.

Living the Good Life!

And later I had a slice of store-bought apple pie and some french vanilla ice cream...
 
This just went onto my must-do list. But I hope you'll excuse me if I'll rename them....

Reminds me of the Indian chief who called his tribe together and told them, "I have bad news, and good news. The bad news is, the hunting has been lousy this summer and we're gonna have to live on buffalo chips all winter.

"The good news is, we have plenty of buffalo chips." :D

That's why they're called ABT's
 
Here are the sugar-free bread & butter pickles. That's a sushi dish like you'd mix up wasabi and soy for dipping sashimi. The pickles are smallish, about the size of a gherkin, which is why I halved them lengthwise instead of slicing across.

They're quite tasty!

My wife loves bread and butter pickles and I like to munch on them now and again, what's the recipe?
 
Here ya go, Subsailor!

Refrigerator sugarfree bread and butter pickles

2 cups sliced cucumbers with peels (or lengthwise sliced in half if they're small cukes)
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced (I like to slice in half across the equator of the onion, then slice each half from top to bottom to get little slivers of onion)
1 cup Splenda or other sweetner
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse UNIODIZED salt
1/2 teaspoon whole yellow mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon whole celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (this is what gives the color to the pickles, as well as flavor)
Pinch each ground allspice and ground cloves

Place cukes and onions in a 2 quart micro safe bowl or casserole.
Mix Splenda and other ingredients in a small bowl, stirring to
combine. Pour this over the cukes and microwave uncovered
for 8 minutes. Stir two or three times during the cooking
process. Let pickles cool and pour into a plastic bowl with
a lid. Refrigerate....will keep for two weeks.


The recipe I'll use next time is very similar, but I'll be canning them in my steam canner. It just makes more, basically! :)
 
My parents are taking care of my brother's two little ones (7 and 5) yesterday and into this morning so I offered to come over this morning and cook a nice Mother's Day brunch for Mom after the kids had gone. She said "Oh, no pleeeaaasssseee come down on Saturday instead!"

So last night I fired up their grill and grilled carrots, beets, and asparagus, which both Mom and Dad loved, along with some fantastic brats from my neighborhood butcher and, to keep it kid-friendly, a package of Hebrew National hot dogs. A big hit all 'round.
 
We also did Mother's Day last night - because none of the three of us wanted to wait an extra day for rotisseried prime rib, baked potato for Mom and baked sweet potato for KOTC and me, ovenroasted Brussels sprouts with bacon, a nice bottle of red wine, and for dessert, sugarfree chocolate black bean cake with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
 
Gettin' ready to fire up the pit for some smoky ribs,taters & corn. My son works at this place that makes all kind of sauces for restaurants,etc. He brought home some of this Georgia whiskey sauce that has a tiny bit of white lightenin' in it. Did some minor work on my lil tuner as well. Got some SA Rebel IPA & SNPA to go with the BBQ. Too bad my Irish red isn't ready yet. I love red ale with smoky BBQ...
 
4 racks of smoked baby back ribs corn on the cob baked beans roasted red potatoes.

After making some uninspired chicken and sweet potatoes on the grill last night what to do with the leftovers?
Chicken and sweet potato enchlatatas!
Came out really good, I love sweet potatoes with hot peppers, habaneros in this case, the spice and the sweet work so good together!

Like the sauce my son makes at his new job. They make'em for restaurants,etc. A Georgia moon whisky sauce that's a little sweet & a little piquant with hot peppers,seeds & all. Tasty. went on country ribs that were two tone pink. Small but good meat. Roasting corn & big potatoes in the oven. Kids got me cheap charcoal that burned out too quick. Havin' an SNPA while I wait for the corn & taters. Doin' a Texas cheat on the ribs while other stuff gets done.

I had no idea I was starving to death, until I saw your pictures. I just finished tearing the fridge apart....

Unfortunately, there were no ribeyes in it. Instead, it looks like I'm going to be making a stir fry with pork, onion and garlic, oyster mushrooms, pasilla chiles and celery, and serving it over rice. A disappointingly healthy meal, I'm afraid; not even in the same league as yours.
 
Tossed some 46 country ribs in the pit yesterday for some 3.5 hours. Ash wood on the coals. I used some of this whisky BBQ sauce they make at my son's 2nd job from Georgia that's a lil sweet,a lil heat. Has hot peppers in it,seeds & all. Caramelized on the ribs,it tastes more like sauce with sesame in it. But a bit piquant. With roasted sweet corn & huge baked potatoes smothered in butter. The ribs were that two-toned pink pork with little fat & well marbled too. Juice ran from them when cut open. Momma do likes her some of my ribs!:mug:
 
Wrong thread Nuts, you ever get anywhere with the sourdough?


Lol yeah thats right about how things are going for me lately. I need to unscrew my head from my rear end in a major funk

Been done a few times on this thread but I made some hangover food for wife yesterday morning.
Sausage (and bacon) gravy...but I did cheat on the biscuits, as they came from a box :eek:

I'd rather use sausage than bacon for biscuits, but it's getting harder to find good pork sausage for the gravy. The last time I cooked up a well-known brand, it was so lean I might as well have been frying ground turkey. I actually had to grab some cooking oil to keep it from burning. !@#$...

But I think you have the answer: next time I'll mix sausage and bacon together. Normally I'd just add some bacon grease. But in 25 years of marriage, I've never managed to train the wife to stop pouring nasty stuff into the coffee can I keep by the stove to drain bacon into....
