Dinner time

[CDGator]

I guess the bag says it all

Sorry to hear. It sure looks good in the pic!

Back in HS I worked 1/2 day at the DoT my senior year and my supervisor became a lifelong friend. He would take me out fishing and was a good ol’ boy. When I would mess up at work he would tell me “There’s a need to read!”

Eventually Chris married a co-worker and they moved to Gainesville to get a degree in engineering at UF. We’d get together and make dinner together occasionally but went our separate ways. One time I was in Tally and wanted to introduce seedy to him. Chris had just gone fishing off Mexico Beach and sent us back to KY with pounds of grouper. To this day, he is known as Grouper Chris and would probably still tell me “THERE’S A NEED TO READ!”

Here’s to Grouper Chris :cheers:

Cleaning out the fridge. The black beans and tomatoes came from the garden. Adding rice to the salad and it’s an easy meals. Seedy is eating the grilled chicken.

Yes it’s 4:30pm. I’m in training for the blue hair specials.

Starting a pot of beef stew in the Ninja Foodi. It will take 30 min with the pressure cooker setting and then I’ll add a jar of our green beans and thicken it a little. The potatoes, green beans and tomatoes are from the garden.

Mushroom risotto with shrimp and scallops. It’s taken me a while, but I’ve definitely gotten better at making risotto. This one turned out perfectly.

Going to Crawfordville this afternoon for family annual wild game / country cookin’ dinner. The menu will feature Gator tail from two tags a couple of weeks back plus fresh caught catfish (Channels, Blues, Appaloosas, etc.). My group is bringing brown rice, mac & cheese, and a sour cream pound cake…

This is the gold standard of pound cakes as far as our bunch is concerned, bias notwithstanding, and comes from my great aunt who was one of the best cooks I ever knew. Aunt Snooks grew up cooking for the family and eventually ran the lunchroom at a local elementary school for 30+ years where the food at that time was better than the majority of us kids got at home!

The sour cream pound cake was a family favorite and always moist. Whenever Aunt Snooks would share a slice with you, she’d tell you you could “either eat it or rub it on your behind, ‘cause that’s where it’s going to end up!” Truly a testament to the butter, eggs, sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and squeeze of lemon that makes it so good. Glad to be able to keep traditions going!

Let me rephrase - oysters are not my thing
