Back in a little while. I'm about to take a hot shower and set out my snacks for a roaring party with myself, which some may think is a sad way to spend a Saturday night, but we're having the kind of weather that nobody in their right mind would try to drive in, slightly frozen precipitation, just thin enough to fool you into thinking you're in normal driving conditions. Texans don't know how to drive on frozen stuff of any kind. Looking forward to staying cozy at home.

Well we are here to party with you, cept I have chow comin soon as the taders I just put in the oven get done. I seen thing on a vegan recipe place where they cut a washed tader in 1/8 inch slices almost all the way through and then put your spices on and salt and pepper then drizzle Olive oil over it and bake till crispy on top, I love taders so thinkin it will be good with my daily mushrooms and green beans

It's okay. I still have things to do to prepare my solo pajama party.

I once saw a Martha Stewart show in which she sliced potatoes very thinly with a mandoline, laid out one layer on oiled sheet, then laid out little sprigs of thyme, rosemary and some other small herbs, one tiny sprig on top of each potato slice, then topped with another slice, painted the top sides with olive oil and baked them. Not as tedious as you'd think, pretty quick as she showed it, and thin enough to cook quickly. They came out looking like little oval botanical prints. The thinness of the slices allowed the carefully placed herb to show through. Just beautiful.

Wish I could find a pic, but whenever I go and try to find old Martha Stewart recipes I remember from her shows, can't find them anywhere.

My taders were good was gonna do glazed mushrooms but just did those in garlic and the green beans were outta the garden so you know those were good.
I ate the last mater outta my garden today, well two really, hate to see them go :(
Sounds like a lovely dinner. I don't know what I want, so I just ate a piece of melted cheese toast and I'm having a snifter of brandy.

So, I don't have a match for "Bitter Pill" at the moment, and nobody else is playing but you and I, so I'm going off queue with a new word match, "Simply". Sara Hickman was a popular local artist when I lived in Dallas, and a guy I dated for a long time, and sort of fell in love with in a convenience way, loved her as much as I did, so we went to her coffee house shows all the time. She was far more beautiful than in this caricature used for the cover of her CD. She'd walk on stage in shorts with her acoustic guitar, and keep everybody mesmerized for an hour.

This was "our song".

Simply

I love tequila, still have a few shots in a bottle I was drinkin 7 and a half years ago :( :facepalm:
I love it too. Tequila is a wonderful, flavorful liquor and a great tradition of Mexico and Texas too (Texas was once Mexico), though I don't think any is produced in Texas. Anyway, there is some chemistry to tequila that makes people do crazy things, and then the hangover is worse than gin or anything else you can think of. Maybe it's all the sugar in the agave plant. Dunno, but I just know not to drink it, other than an occasional margarita with dinner at a Mexican food restaurant, and only one.

I love it so much I don't even dare open it to take a smell, afraid it will all evaporate into my mouth :giggle:

Silver wings upon their chests:


And with that, Jimi, I'm logging out. I have enjoyed playing and having this little Saturday night party with you as my only and honored guest. I remembered there's a movie I wanted to watch at first opportunity, "Hebrews to Negroes" that Kanye West was talking about. There was a book that was popular and much discussed in the black community a while back, "Black Jesus" and I think this movie is along those lines. I'm open to any ideas about the ancient Hebrews and who, and what, they were. I have enough Prime credits now to watch it for free.

I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Went wine tasting in Lodi with my wife and her sister and husband yesterday. We had a good time and had a late lunch which ended up being dinner as well. With my schedule I gotta get wife time when I can...

Today after Mass I'll be smoking some baby back ribs on the pellet grill. I'm still trying to find the perfect way to get them with a clean bite and not totally falling off the bones.
