I'm a bit behind on posting pics.  We are back to work, with all the mask and distancing restriction.  And it's HHHHOOOOTTT now.  So after getting home, pretty much all I feel like doing is getting a cool shower, a cold drink and surfing in the AmbitiousBoy recliner.  :lol:
 
 
I got some wings on the July 4th weekend-

Boss sent a clown car package of sauces.  Thanks, Boss!!!! an interesting one was the Slaw-Racha, so honey cooked up some brats, I put mayo on one side, slaw-rach on the other, and topped with some cabbage salsa from my friend's picnic.

I finally got some Surf when in Wenatchee on Friday.  Whole Dungeness crabs!  :woohoo:  :dance:
and a couple nicely marbled steaks....
 
Unwrapped the 2 crabs on Saturday to break them down and this is what I got.

Are you kidding me?!?!???  I did get all the claws, but still!!!!!
 
Well, between cleaning the crab and our surf and turf dinner, I had a run in with a cat.  Or maybe more appropriately, the cat had a run in with me. 
There's a cat that has been hanging around our house.  It looks color-wise like one of our neighbors's a couple fields over.  Their older cat has come over here before so I thought it was one of their younger ones.  Our dog and our cat chased it up a tree.  I thought I'd catch it, put it in a box and take it back to the neighbors. 
 
I put the ladder at the tree, climbed up, it looked at me, didn't hiss or anything, so I figure it is OK.  I grabbed it, didn't quite get up to the scruff of the neck, and the little sh!t turned into a hellcat.  Scratching and biting  my hands.  Hard.
 
I got it into the box, took it to the back of the property and let it out.  Hopefully it doesn't come back.  Then John and I spent half an hour tending to the painful wounds.  So basically....surf-n-turf dinner was a bust.  Today, both hands are in bad shape from bites to knuckles.  Work tomorrow will be interesting~~~ 
 
Well, I did have all that shelled crab, so today's sunday brunch was crab omlets!

I put some crab into the pan with a little butter on medium heat to warm up the meat, then set it aside.

Been hankerin' for some SuperNachos, so that was Saturday's no-very-nutritious-but really-good-with-fresh-salsa dinner.
Chips, cheese, seasoned beef, hatch chiles, salsa, sour cream....

PS- the labels are on the side of the tub for the stores.  I snagged a tub of Medium without a label while it was being made and stuck the label on the top for pics.  :cool:

I find it wonderful.
 
When other folks are grilling.
 
That one can smell the difference between burgers.
 
Steaks.
 
Chicken.
 
Pork.
 
I live around a lot of Mexicans here in Texas.
 
And I love the smell of their cooking.
 
Makes your mouth water.
 
And makes you wish you were eating that.
 
Chingon AF!
