The Drunken Chef

Hey ya'll once again from the big dry ditch of Las Vegas. I had picked up some beautiful chix I wanted to deep fry but soon discovered I didn't have enough oil. Why not just drive down to the local grub store and buy it you ask? BECAUSE I WAS PISS DRUNK!! Alrighty then. I grab the bottle of Hornitos tequila and ready myself to begin the destruction. I fire up the cast iron dutch oven and just start throwing stuff in. Olive oil. Garilc. Julieanned shallot. Chix thighs. Gets a little blurry here but I somehow managed to debone the thighs without chopping off my leg but then all good cooks should be able to pull that off. The vast majority of experienced kitchen rats and riffraff cook much better after a bottle of wine or three. Those of you reading this keep that little kitchen tip in mind, especially when family from out of town is around. If the wife is chewing your ass the next day for your drunken lewd and lascivious behavior in the kitchen the previous night, then you know you must have made a helluva meal and did it right.

Continuing on, I soon missplaced my shot glass and decided to dispensed with it all together. Why should tequila have to go through a middleman anyway. Liquors quicker straight from the bottle. I discovered I had a stash of dried pequins from last season and bada bing bada boom in they went. Same with some forlorn looking button mushrooms. Whirring and stirring with a spoon in one hand and the bottle of firewater in the other, why not deglaze the pan with tequila? Excellent idea! Might as well get rid of the rest of the hab salsa I made the other day. In that goes, adios baby! Add some seasalt and cracked black pepper. Whir and stir. Taste. It tastes like burning. Nice.

Somehow during this culinary rampage I managed to take a few pics.

The beginning of the end...

I can't be sure but I think I ate it with tortilla's but who can say. This morning as I looked at the devastation in the Blues Kitchen I reckoned that were I to detonate a hundred pounds of C4
in the middle of it I would only cause about $21.47 worth of damage. Mrs. Blues was not amused but and well acquainted with my late night shenanigans. Ahhh marital bliss.

Now that I have started this thread, I call on all you THP drunks, sots, and gin blossomed heathens to keep it going. Pics are mandatory and it goes without saying that rule number one is...YOU MUST BE DRUNK WHEN COOKING!!

So get the divorce papers ready, get your favorite bottle of liquid stupid and get cookin' ya'll!

Cheers, TB.
 
FRIED??????? Hmmm..... guess I've been doing it wrong all these years, AND LOVING IT!

TB - you da man wit' da TACO HEAVEN!

Took a note from SoFlo and deep fried some pacific cod for the taco's. Heavily dusted with my pequin powder. Cheap wine in the guitar cup.

These fish taco's go to 11.
 
do you steam up the tortillas, or flash fry them or something? I always find corn tortillas a little dry unless I do something to 'em first.

Sometimes I sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the corn tortillas and nukem' for 15 seconds. Other times I brush a little olive oil on and then nukem'. I never have problem with dry tortillas.

I always get corn tortillas, as to me, flour tortillas are ick. Depending upon certain factors, I either wrap them in a damp paper towel then nuke, or brush with olive oil then slap on a hot skillet on both sides for about a minute or two.

"Certain factors" largely depends upon the brand of tortilla, as well as how fresh it is and how much time I have available. I need to find another source for tortillas or start making my own, as the grocery store where I shop has stopped carrying a decent brand, and now only sell their own. Their own, unfortunately, turn to mush when nuked in a damp paper towel, and have next to no flavor. D***, I miss living in Texas!
 
im so down for a taco thread

i make taco's once in a blue moon, because when I make tacos' i buy enough shit to make like 20 of them, and eating them myself takes a week and a bunch of microwaving, and tacos are not like hot dogs, they taste like shit when microwaved
 
I just ate some more of the non-existing queso. Forgot that the camera is in my car so still no pics. Maybe later today. No one seems to want to play tonight. What the hell 4am on a Monday morning and no one is around. What? Do you people have jobs or something? (I have today off):lol:
