last night`s dinner that i never got around to posting. steak strips, toasted tortilla, diced onions, shredded cheese and another Jalapeno hot sauce.         

Mongolian beef burger. cracked open my last quart of pickled Jalapeno and cowhorn rings. the sauce was store bought, on a whim to have something different. the next time i`ll make it myself.  :cheers:

i knew that was coming.  :lol:

so i got a package of Sabrett`s with natural casings and they were ok but did`nt seem as good as i remembered. then i got a package of Stahl-Meyer all beef dogs and they are really good. i don`t remember seeing this brand before. i did one under the broiler in the toaster oven till it had some...

awesome!

great mix Reggie!

congrats to all for making great plates of a nice variety of excellent food. i thought about doing a "final post" but with what i had on hand i decided not to enter a final plate. kinda funny that chicken salad on a cracker got any votes at all! thanks folks and cheers to all!  :cheers:

i never took any prep pics but i used the same ingredients as the day before with the flour tortilla swapped out for hard shells. the ground beef was spicy plus i had splashed them with jalapeno sauce which is buried under the toppings. its pretty hot for jalapeno.  :onfire:

beer fueled midnight munchies.   

same as last night but i was in the mood for hard shells. i wolfed one down before i remembered to take a pic.          

when you mentioned the small root structure i chalked that up to small pots. in nature plants are top watered. JMO

i use plastic 5 gal buckets and when i need some i look for white or light colored buckets. i`m in the black absorbs heat club.
