[texas blues]

A chicken fried steak sammich.
 
I've made and eaten that.
 
But.
 
Not like that.
 
On toasted Texas toast.
 
With melted cheese.
 
Tomatos.
 
Pickled jalapenos.
 
Texas CFS.
 
Think outside the white gravy.
 
Your world.
 
Rocked.

Ive made a chicken fried steak sandwich before with fresh jalapeños and A1 sauce on a sesame seed bun. It was a glorified version of Dairy Queens The Dude without the salad on top. Very good use of leftover CFS.

Got these habanero and hatch chili sausages at Whole Foods last weekend. Cooked in the oven on convection setting with onion, bell pepper and jalapeños until almost done and then finished in a grill pan.

They look lonely.

I know right. My wife didnt want any so it was just these three for me. I lucked out having a foil pan small enough to keep it tight together.

i wanted to like the lonely drunken sausage, but then i saw the "yuckytaco" and it lost all its excitement   

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Count, I'm all about your food, but rice, beans, bread, tortilla, SOMETHING! That lonely link is pathetic

Sheeit man Im watch my weight, this was a lean meal for me. It was original planned to have baked potatoes, but I had to change that to pan fried squash and zucchini.

Lonely drunken sausage is right. But we dig in the the El Yucateco in this part of Texas. They have several different flavors and most are pretty decent in their own way.

i'll take extra penos with mine, hold the el yuck

Damn right. But these jalapeños werent really pickled, they were fresh ones cooked in a little vinegar in that roasting tin with the bell peppers and onions. Crunchy and delicious

 

[The Count]

This wasnt really Mongolian beef since it had veggies and no rice, but it was good. A jalapeño and a habanero were the spicy part, though it was really mild.

 

[The Count]

Im gonna call this Naughty Rice and Etouffaux. Crawfish and andouille in the faux

Salisbury steak and modded canned Ranch Style Beans. The beans had cooked onion and jalapeño in them and also bbq seasoning and cayenne powder. The steaks are typical with an addition of Franks Xtra Hot. The gravy has jalapeños and serranos with the typical onion.

This was half a steak because I had a late afternoon ramen snack. So the wife and I split one.

 

[texas blues]

You had me at Ranch Style Beans.

You had me at Ranch Style Beans.

I know right. We grew up on garden grown beans, peas, and veggies. But my Grandpa loved Ranch Style Beans, so we ate them....... alot.

I've eaten more beans.
 
Than any man seen.
 
I loved canned RSB's when I was a kid.
 
Not quite as bad for you as Oscar Mayer Bologney.
 
And not even in the same league as bacon.
 
Or SPAM.
 
Dammit.
 
Now I'm craving ranch style beans.
 
And SPAM!

Made some oven ribs today. Rubbed them down last night. They cooked in a convection oven at 250deg. for a few hours and finished under the broiler with a sauce on them.
