Ok, ahm back ! ! ! I know, I know, I said I was going to take the pups out and be right back, but that dint happen. Got so many things to get done around cheer ah get sidetracked pretty easily.
Yall watch the EEEclipse? Before the EEEclipse, I was asked a jillion times if I was going to watch it, and during the EEEclipse, I was asked a zillion times if I was watching it, and now after the EEEclipse, IVe bee asked if I had watched it. NO, NO, and No ! ! ! What I was watching was a chocolate EEEclaire. I love CEs! I kept staring at it and no, I didnt go blind, but I did go almost crazy because I wanted to EEEat the EEEclaire, but have been watching my caloric intake.
So, I ate the EEEclaire anyway. I'll watch my caloric intake some other day. Well, I didnt want anyone else to suffer the slings and arrows of EEEclaire watching, who knows, a body might go blind staring at the EEEclaire. I do know if you get hit in the eyes with an EEEclaire, you will be temporarily blind, and blond seeing as how the custard inside the EEEclaire is yellowish. Did I mention I love EEEclaires? Havent had one in a coons age, however long that is! This one was good !
Just got through with lunch. I had been marinating some chicken thighs for about two days, and put them on the grill about 1 oclock. the cookbooks all say 30 minutes and they will be done, just make sure it's at 165 gredees. It cooked for two hours before it finally reached the desired temp. I was cooking them in an aluminum pan, using the BBQ pit like an oven. I had it up to 350 for 1.5 hours, and finally lit another burner and got it up to 450 and let it cook for another 30 minutes.
Finally it made it to the desired temp inside the meat. Put it on plates along with killer homemade potato salad and homemade coleslaw and some poke and beans. We were starving! The PS was wonderful, best I've ever made and eaten, CS was great, Beans were, eh? what can I say about P&Bs. I did doctor em up a tad, but didnt reach the desired results....THE CHICKEN WAS TASTELESS ! ! ! It had been marinating in a quarter pound of butter, bacon grease, BBQ sauce for two days. Boo and Boo ! I hate BBQing, it almost never turns out worth beans.
Maybe if I had some Paw Paws to baste em with....I should have just stuck to eating EEEclairs. Well, even if the meal wasnt as projected and hoped for, we can still count our blessings, eh waht? We are blessed beyond all belief, crumby tasting chicken and all.
got to 102 today, that's a zillion and a half days of temps over 100. Wish this global warning would cut it out. I'd like to see the temp go to 50 during the day and 40 at night, and stay that way till next August, and then warm up to 50 and 40. Sound like a plan? It's on order, along with some rain. However, and aint there always a however, weather folks say we will get a TS by Friday and dump 10 or more inches on us and then probably dump some more on us. We woujld like some rain, of course, but maybe not quite so much all at once. I know, you have to take waht you can, when you can.
Ok, time to deplane boss. Got to go to the general store. Need some salt poke, hawg jowls, deviled hawk aigs, mustard for a poltice (been feeling a might poorly here and there, so thought a poltice would help) flour and salt, a side of bacon, greens and some twine, chawin terbacky, and a licorice stick. (and a partridge in a pear tree)
Oh, I think we have QUAIL up here at the wannderosa. Havent positively identified them, but they sure do look like em. Gonna investigate more and I'll letcha know what I've conjured up with.
Keep the sun at your six and ride boldly ride...
