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...

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.

Nice simple homecooked meal right there.
 
Yesterday we went to my favorite farmers market for its opening. Got a little carried away. Then went to Whole foods and supplemented with steak and baby backs. The plan was to rub the ribs with BBQ spice last night and slow cook all day today. That didn't happen. My Honey cooked the steak, corn on the Cobb, we had fresh bread and butter and I fell asleep.

Today I had to plant the 3 basils, lavender and chives I bought which required two trips to the garden store - 11am on a beautiful sunday was not a good time to go.

Soooo, plan B. Inspired by the throw down, I marinated the ribs Asian style. Soy, ginger, black bean paste, fish sauce, garlic, sherry, honey, lime juice and Thai peppers. In heavy foil to braise for a while, then will sear at a high heat to glaze.


Roasted some baby beets and peeled, will finish with spring onions.


All while enjoying another vino verde

Oh, what do I do with these purple asparagus? Managed to get every size mixed in one bunch. The Honey made fun of me.
 
   alynne  those ribs, blurry or otherwise look awesome..  can't wait til local asparagus is ready here. ...     
 
low key DC again tonight but no spicy so no posty..
wife laughed at me when I wanted to go to the bar, then went to bed ,as she had to work early this morn..  Shame to waste such a great starter kit, as I was ready to shift into high gear :beer:  ..  Ended up nerding it up instead, sipping on coors light and watching first two movies of  LOTR blu ray extended edition til the sun came up.
