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.
 
OMG, I havn't had conch is years and in fritters to beat :dance: :dance: and to top it off Pickapeppa (my first sauce as a kid still keep a stock of it). Screw Thanksgiving dining, FD4 you're killin me :cheers:
 
SoFloPosse...My brothers! Yall sure you ain't transplanted Texicans? That banana leaf ain't foolin' me. Bacon wrapped shrimps are just soooo dirty! Beyond hot blue and rigtheous! Jump back and kiss 'yo 'sefs 3 times!
 
12 pounds of wings? Really? Please forgive my earlier dissing remarks in regards to tomfoolishnessessess....my bestest friend, buddy and pal. You're looking quite handsome in your pics Paul and the ear 'thang actually gives you an aura of superior intelligence over all other men.
Ahem....now...about those wings......12 pounds is more than any mortal man should consume by himself at one sitting if you know what I mean...(wink). Lemme' know if you need any help. I live only to serve.

Sincerely,

Your pal, Leslie.

I take back all I said previously since you didn't even save me ONE wing. Booooooo!! And to think I was your best friend! What a ripoff! You put family before me? I am soooo disappointed! No wings for me. How sad is that?
 
DTS's Roman Lamb

Left to right: Fish sauce (it was actually an essential ingredient in day to day Roman cooking!), garlic, marinated goats cheese in olive oil, black peppercorns, charred rosemary and bay leaf (adds a smokey flavour), big ol' chunka lamb leg, fresh rosemary and bay leaves, a lemon fresh off the tree. Beer...duh this is the drunkened chef

You are ALWAYS welcome at the Circle-H table, my friend!!

:cheers:

EDIT:

By the way...I tried the CREATOR's suggestion of piercing the wings halfway through the cooking...and it works better than I ever could have hoped!! Makes for a very crispy wing!! The powder on thos wings is an OLD BAY and 7-pod powder combo...and was excellent when dipped in the sauce....

:cool:

A side note...I was so excited about the wings that I forgot to put out the celery and bleu cheese!! :lol:
 
Definitely glad I found this topic, to me there isn't much better than cooking with a glass of good bourbon in hand. I will definitely have to try that lamb recipe sometime when I have a free afternoon.

Btw, is that a le creuset dutch I see...? I got one for christmas last year and its the shit :dance:
 
DTS that lamb braised out beautifully, could you put it on Quantas frozen east bound?

Paulky, hope the twins friend's parents don't see the pics with all the brewskys. What's up with the Coors Light, splurging??
