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...

Stewing in its own juices, just like me..

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.
 
M.M. beautiful wings, I’ve been hankering to do wings for a while now, but my girl has a phobia of foods with bones in them, and they’re just not the same made from tenders.

Sorry about that last pic, still leaning on here; apparently you can only post so many pics in one post then if you try to split the post in to two, and someone doesn’t post between your two, it get combined into one. . . Hence this is how Jay T, quoted himself in his own post, check it:
http://www.thehotpepper.com/topic/28606-burgers-hell-yeah/page__view__findpost__p__578889 Speaking of which, Jay what was that hot sauce in that post?

And a repost of my $hot.

PK the hot sauce is Lucky Dog Hot Sauce's Green Sauce. Review forthcoming. BTW I think that is one helluva fine looking sammy and you certainly know how to make fresh cut fries sir. Well done.

Oh, and you know it's not the RocketMan's party unless there's some sauce being make. Here's the base it's a propriiary blend of all of the left over peppersI couldn't fit into a jar from the last 8 months of sauce making. and it's been fermenting 6 of those months after which I moved it into the fridge.
