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.
 
Hey ya'll! Now ya'll know that Fridays are Popper Night round these parts but not last night. Couldn't find any decent habs and same same with the japs. I picked up some nice serranos but not a lot of room in the canoe for stuffing them so....start drinking!

I began the night with the usual partners in crime, cerveza and tequila. I was also in the mood for a cocktail...
Mixed serrano, my own salsa, lemon and lime juice, fresh squeezed of course, V8, and a handful of 51-60's and......

CHINGALO!!

Texas style..

When you absolutely got to mellow down easy, this combo will do the trick. Doctor recommended and Drunken Chef approved...

Go to next post ...

Got down brown and mellowed down easy, I had a fancy for chicken fried steak. Finished the "cocktail", had another shot, and fired up the dutch. Now ya'll know you're 'sposed to pair up CFS with white cream gravy but wanted something with a little more horsepower. Made a little roux, added some garlic and serranos, heavy cream and cheddar, jack, and mozz cheese, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper....

CHINGALO X 2!!!

While the sauce was doing its 'thang I finished off another cerveza and dropped some breaded pounded cube steaks I had prepped earlier and dropped them into the dutch...

This pic speaks for itself ya'll.....CFS with serrano cheese sauce......

CHINGALO X 3!!!!!

That's how we roll Rio Grande Valley style...

Cheers ya'll, TB.
 
Can you say YUMMY, boys & girls?

I couldn't decide if I wanted poppers or tacos this weekend...so I'm making both today. It remains to be seen if they will be a drunken chef creation, but I'll definitely be drinking beer along with them.

Impy, by all means post if even you have only one single beer. Understandably not every here on THP is a recreational alcoholic.

Poppers or taco's? Why not both? Bring'em on with the pics girl! I've seen your A+ work before....dig it.

Cheers, TB.
 
Love the presentation of the grub! It's all part of the eating experience. Food should be enjoyed, not just shoveled into your face like you're loading a musket!
 
You go girl. I'm thinkin' maybe a "Mega Popper". A pasilla or bell stuffed with stuffed habs. Or deep fried relleno's stuffed with stuffed habs. So many options. So much tequila.

Cheers, TB.
 
OK...I made the wings. They didn't turn out too well. I mixed a bunch of different sauces...& the end result just wasn't too tasty. They were hot as hell, yeah. But just...not good. And I have a ton of leftovers. *Sigh*

Oh lookie what's this...beer!
 
Drink about 8 or 9 of those beer thingys and those wings will be much more appetizing. Sorry they didn't turn out the way you hoped Impy. Trial and error and all that. I do that sometimes too, but usually I go with the one combo that I am sure will be great. Defcon 1 or 2, DM MKII, a little Fatalii sauce, and cajun seasoning.
 
See, Jay...your combo sounds fantastic. I think I just tried to do too damn much w/ the sauce. And I may just have to try some more wings after a few more of these here beer thingers.
 
Well usually that combo is failproof, but not tonight. Only after I fried my wings, sauced them, and put them in for a quick shot in the broiler before saucing them again, did I discover that they were freezer burnt and not good. Waste of sauce. Damn, and I have no more wings...
 
Oh no Jay! That sucks. At least I have someone to share in my bad wing misery, lol.

I think I know where I went wrong. When I was a kid the big thing to do @ soda fountains was to make "suicides" by taking a cup & adding a little of every soda that the fountain offered. Those were never any good! Well...I kinda did that tonight by adding a bunch of different sauces & some hab powder. The end result didn't really mesh well, even though the sauces by themselves are pretty good.

I guess there's nothing left to do tonight...but drink!

Dude, how about a pan of corn bread in the cast iron filled with poppers?! The cornbread becomes the breading, the poppers are filled with whatever you want... a Popper Pie!!!!!!! :hell:

If you don't make it, I will!
