Probably not much.

I had a big lunch at the Glenti, a big Greek themed weekend event here in Darwin.

Mmmmmmmmm souvlaki, baklava, and my new favourite, an un-named hot Greek

custard pie (with millefois). Factor in some 4.5% beer and a pint of Guinness on the way

home and I'm probably not eating much tonight.

Which leads me to ask... What alcohol percentage is Australian beer, normally???

Don't know - going to a party, so I guess it will be nibbles.

Full strength beer is 4.5 to 5%, midstrength is 3.5 to 4% and lights up to 3%. The Guinness runs at 6%, but a pint of Guinness here is 20 ounces (like Canada), not 16.

I believe, like American brew, the Kunuks call that beer "making love in a canoe".

It's fucking close to water. :cheers:

I easily solve the problem of different beers by not drinking them. I more for shots or rum and coke.

I made curried pork chops, cooked in a dutch oven,blackeyed peas, baked potatos ,with a tall glass of iced tea

It's not a problem LS, it's an exploration opportunity.

Not when to my taste they're all the same. I've tried a few different ones and couldn't tell any difference. All I know is that they don't suit my pallet. Though I can support your opinion.

I made soup with onions, carrots, tomatoes, black turtle beans and chicken.

"black turtle beans"!? Are you sure those don't come from the rabbit cage? :confused:

:rofl:

They're smaller than what the rabbit produces ;)

I admit, I have never heard of those types of beans. I think I might actually look it up.

Looked them up, they are commonly called just black beans. I assumed they were a different type than this because of the turtle reference. Very popular in Latin American, Cajun, and Creole cooking.

From tiny rabbits maybe? :shrug:

Just doesn't sound like something that should be in the soup.

They went in the soup because they were the beans I had on hand. (I also had red kidney beans, but I like saving those for when I make chili!)

I think tomorrow night I'm going to barbecue ras el hanout-rubbed chicken legs, and serve them with Greek salad and some plain rice.

Yeah! And you'll probably rub them with a COTTON rag.

Grilled some asparagus to go with that too. It was yummy!!!!!!!!!

We did grilled burgers, fresh corn on the cob, and grilled jalepenos stuffed with spicy pepper jack.

I think tonight is macaroni and cheese - we're having supper with Wilderness's grandparents, and I think that's what Wilderness's mom told me she was making.

I made pork chops and a lovely salad with balsamic vinaigrette. However, my lettuce had gone bad, so we just had a topping salad. Joe said it was the best salad ever and that we never have to eat lettuce again. I ignored that comment. :rolleyes:

On my way to Georgia for dinner. :bite:

:car:

Peachy.

I'm going to grill some sausages that we'll have with beet greens.

Sausages I can dig, but beets? Ewww.

The greens are sooooooo good though - with a bit of vinegar, mmmmmmmmmm!

Ewww. If it is a beet, or attached to a beet I refuse to eat.

I guess you wouldn't have liked my beet ice cream I made, gosh, I guess three years ago now... Mind you, I didn't like it either. :p

No, I wouldn't have. Though if you just put yourself on a platter, then I'd never go hungry.

Frozen custard, corn dogs and cotton candy. :bite:

And Bayer. The number one heart attack medication.

I had leftover chicken tetrazzini tonight. I think I made enough to feed the whole street Saturday night!

Pork chops, noodles, and broccoli.

I need to go to your house for dinner.

There's still tons!!!

lets see lastnite i just did some apps for dinner. for bama and her parents i made some southern fried pickels,some stuffed pablano peppers and stuffed jalopeones some fried red tomatoes and some baked tomatoes. the night before i did some southern fried chicken,hotwings, and some dr.pepper hotwings and some stuffed mushrooms. ahhhhhhh nothing like says loving like clogging some hearts.oh and for those who don't know fried pickels are great and very easy to make. if anyone wants to know know how to make them or almost anything else i listed let me know. yes being a texan who loves to cook pays off.

soon as my contract is up i plan on moving back to nc with my soon to be wife and opening a resturant.

I need more info about these. :D

ok the dr.pepper hotwings are pretty easy just a little messy sometimes. this recipe calls for 5 lbs of wings
1 cup of buttermilk or whole milk
1 egg
1/2 cup of a good hot sauce
3 table spoons of seasoned salt
1 table spoon of red pepper
1 table spoon of black pepper
2 cups of flour
1 12 ounce dr.pepper or coke or pepsi
2 really good hot peppers
enuff oil to fry the wings in peanut oil is best
also a pot to boil the the dr.pepper down


ok add the buttermilk egg and hot sauce in a bowl and stir together well
add the flour and other dry things to a bowl for dredgeing the wings in
put the dr.pepper and sliced hot peppers in a pot to boil down to a thickend state
dip the wings in the milk and egg then the flour and fry them till they are nicely browned .
once all of them are fried dip them in the soda reduction.
then put the wings either under a broiler or in a hot oven for at least 5 mins.
enjoy oh and do not touch your eyes or nose after you eat them until you wash your hands. i made that mistake ONE time.

Sounds spicy :D

Could I bake them instead of fry them?

hmmmm if your gonna bake or grill them it should be a little easier. add all the spices to the dr.pepper boil it down till it reduces at least a third ya are gonna want it thick pour on top of the wings and bake in a 350 degree oven for at least an hour. i of course like them fried but i also belive in a heart hostile menu instead of heart healthy one.

You can use a rack to raise the wings up for a primary bake to get them crispy and then toss in sauce to coat if you want a faux fried feel. I think Alton Brown uses a similar method.
