Maggie’s THE "NOM NOM NOM" THREAD

[hangunnr]

It’s salsa Saturday….
Had about 6# of Roma tomatoes left after the garden was cleaned out. Wanted to try this commercial mix.

All that’s needed is the mix, 6# of peeled, cored tomatoes and a half cup of white vinegar.

It’ll give a yield of about 12 half pints.

That’s it, other than grinding some dried peppers I’m done with canning or garden work. Time to start thinking about chasing deer.

Couple of eggs from the “olive egger” chickens today. Some petite yella taters and shredded chicken. Topped with some shredded cheese.

Stopped off after the range, given I am working on my 'pot luck' chili and hate x2...that lemon, though. Who does that? #sacrilege

What lemon? The one in the margarita?

 

[Jingoist]

What lemon? The one in the margarita?

Yes, sir.

If I got a sissy lemon margarita, sure, but not in a lime margarita.

Maybe not the margarita capital of the free world but in San Antonio Texas there is the river walk.

Lined with hotels and Mexican restaurants. One I have come to love but not been to in years is the Rita's.

Good Mexican food, I like their fajitas but that's not the main attraction.

It is their margaritas, a full menu of them. Some are made with 4 different top shelf tequilas and premium mixers etc.

The whole town had either monthly or weekly contests for the best margarita at the walk.
It is very serious for the bartenders and venues.

Up and down the walk I troll the best. At times some were very fruit laden with orange, limes, not sure what all but very refreshing in the San Antonio heat during the day.

If you have a sissy margarita lunch / early afternoon when it's blazing hot is a good time.

Nice. I've done the river-walk there, sir...use to roadtrip down there from Ft. Hood at hit a few drinking establishments every now and then—Dick's was a classic (the bar where they insult you and the service, by design, often sucks lol). Good times.

Wife made enchiladas for dinner. I topped it off with cayenne pepper and some basil.

This is going to ruffle some Texan feathers; but with more than 42% of Texans voting for Kameltoe, I think we have to discount their opinions nowadays.

Mise en place...

 

[Snuby642]

BLASFAMY

That's what that is.

It's bean soup.

And any one in Texas that voted for kamelto probably does put beans in hamburger meat with a packet of salt and mostly food color and call it chilie.

A bowl of red is too good for them to have.

 

[lash]

Jus’ sayin’…

 

[Snuby642]

Aaaaarg

You're burning my eyes.

It's been my wife's job to make 30 minutes chili. She does like to add beans but only uses Ranch Style beans.

They used to be canned in Fort Worth Texas but moved up north some place. We use them in Tex-Mex as well.

My wife's product is called 30 minute chili or Yankee chili.
And it is very good but I'm a Texas Bowl of Red snob.

It takes me at least four hours and that's hurrying things along more than optimal.

Yes I would try some of @Jingoist chili and most likely ask for seconds, but don't tell anybody.

Got some drumsticks going on the grill. Used chicka licka bam bam seasoning.
