the aromas in this house are driving me crazy...stomach is growling...
 
well good morning gents...I am getting my Tex-Mex on today...I have already started cooking...these charro beans will be delicious in about 6 hours or so....

:scratching head wondering why JayT is telling me the time:
 
Oh... sorry 6 hours to cook the beans. Nevermind... Carry on AJ. Your house is going to smell terrific all day.
 
I couldn't well decide on last night's destruction and chaos. mrs. blues wanted nacho's. I wanted to revisit wings. There was only one way to go....

I'll let the pic do all the 'splainin'.....

5 all the way TB....excellent negotiated meal....kina like the one I am gixing today...wife wanted chicken, I wanted beef, so I am cooking both...
 
I'm only here living vicariuosly. I've been sober too long. Does the fact that I WANT to be drunk allow me here?

I've got to do alot of post sl*tting to catch up to AJ!
