food The Drunken Chef

The Fitty Kitch is on GO right now.

Busch Lights are droppin' like Boxer-Briefs at a George Michael concert.

If I don't burn myself, look forward to some num-nums later.

If I burn myself, I'll post pics of my flesh-wounds.
 
Last night we skipped all the fanfare and rocked out a mojo bird sic-style (those forks went back to the drawer unused) ...

We ate at least $7 of the $7.39 bird =)

I was going to get a smoker ... but I need to do more casual research about bugs and the juicy mess I've seen on the inside of all the pictures ...

Instead, since it's still hot for some time here in Florida and the Weber is a 2+ hr event despite the chimney starter ...

Zojirushi is the Apple of kitchen appliances ... so simple even I can't f**k anything up w/ it ... #truestory ...

Now, what's for dinner? ... I need a drink ...
 
Forgive me, but I just got home from a wedding. I am drunk and confused. Are you going to cook those bean sprouts or whatever they are on that new fangled piece of apparatus you got there?

have taken the drinking more serious than the eating so far ... the grill sits out, untouched ... the lasagna leftovers, however ...
 
f**k. I'm a fail too.
Busch turned into whiskey, turned into scotch, turned into rum, full circle to beer.

f**k if I can remember ,my photobucket password let alone operate it.

Tomorrow. My shit was good.

Nice robot gm.
 
I'm FAIL here too.

I reckon I am illegal to post up in here according to my own rules.

I have no pics to post.

I'm not drunk or even drinking.

Haven't even taken my Ambien yet.

I should ban myself.

:mope:
 
I had an awful dream last night where I seemed to have stepped into some porthole to an alternate universe where the best thread on this website was a fail. Whew, glad I woke up.
 
The TB's Picadillo was my inspiration.

One of my favorite things to make are empanadas. Usually I'll be so blitzed by the time they're ready that I can only eat one or two.
But the good news is I always make enough to have breakfast/snacks for the week.

Got a pack of empanada shells, and whooped up some picadillo. Did a few things different.
Used a Hawaiian Bird pepper from the garden.
Added green onions instead of the usual sweet onion.
And I like a little fried potato in my picadillo, so I used TOTS!!!

Hells yea!

Fried the garlic, pepper, and TOTS in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I ALWAYS have a heavy hand with the green olives. Just how I roll. PICADILLO!!!!!

Sorry about the fail. I was spending time with the Busch, Walker, and Beam families.
 
Pudo chingon Fitty!

I could eat that all day long!

I like to be liking your heavy handednessess on the green olives but just 2 garlic cloves? C'mon now, man that up.

That much beef needs at least 7 or 8, and don't skimp on the cumino!

The totz threw me at first but I can see how it made a nice binder.

How do those High-why-Inn bird peppers stack up and compare to regular pequins or tepins?

They look like a long pequin.

Picodillo is like the Cuban sloppy joe and am I ever having a jones for a sloppy joe.

Yea, the garlic was a little light, but that was kind of intentional for 2 reasons:
1. I didn't know what effect the green onions would have, they are stronger than the onions I usually use
2. I didn't want to be too garlicky in case things got a little aggressive around here once the kiddies were down.

I don't roll with Cumino in my picadillo. In fact, I don't use it in much of anything, save a brisket rub every now and then.
I think it's more of a southwest flavor. Not my thang, but I bet it would be good with it!

The pepper tastes like a long pequin. Could have used a few more of those, but I didnt know who would be eating them with me (youngin).

They were awesome! Still have 9 left. (6 frozen for later consumption)

And hells yea on the TOTS in it. I originally put them in as a joke, but they were a PERFECT addition, one I'll do again with leftover tots.
I only used about 8 tots for the whole batch. Highly recommended.
 
I have some Domincan friends that initially turned me on to picadillo years ago.

Heavy on the olives, garlic, and always tomato sauce or paste, never fresh or stewed.

I reckon its the Tex-Mex 'thang in me that calls for the cumino.

I always forget that you also have a few chillun's runnin' round and thus have to exercise restraint with the garlic and chile's.

I can dig that you're baking the empy's.

The old TB would deep fry them.

Maybe dip 'em in ranch too!
 
I also thought of cumin as southwest, but then I found cumin's also fairly frequently used in Asian food and am using it even more frequently now than I have in the past. I was already buying it in small bulk, but am now thinking of getting even larger tubs.

FD - you'd better plan on making a boat-load of those when the rest of us come down your way!
 
True DC debauchery ...

Zoji does the heating and mixing ... yay ...
