I agree with what you have said, but I have learned that a little physical activity allows one to eat a fair amount more good food, without getting overly round shaped.Quote:

Hmmmm......for the older folks here.....could Ricks real identity be.......MAYNARD G KREBS???:innocent:
Well the garden provided all but 2 ingredients for dinner tonight. I had a salad of lambs lettuce, tomatoes, spring onions and hard boiled eggs,( they were the girls' contribution).;) For dessert, the very first Pipewell Figs with honey and ricotta cheese. The honey and cheese were the only store bought items. It was Yumm:drool:
I picked some plump raspberries for my cereal for breakfast. Mmmmm.
I grilled some brats for lunch with a tomatoe and cucumber salad from the garden.
2D - There is nothing wrong with being round. When skinny folks fall down they skin things. When I fall down I roll.
Herb-Crusted Marinaded Pork Loin grilled indirectly over Kingsford Charcoal. It is marinading now. Estimated time for grill light off is 16:00.
Might grill some veggies over the direct portion of the grill... like sliced squash or whole baked potatoes... maybe both. I have a big supply of Kingsford for survival cooking as well as everyday cooking, since it is consistently better quality and more consistent heat generation than other charcoals or wood.
(checking watch) we have just about enough time to make it to your house.
I'm drying some roma tomatoes from the garden.
Went a bit mad today. Picked some Blackberries, Damsons and Apples. While it was hurling down with rain this afternoon I turned them into..... 5lbs of Damson jam, 2lbs canned Damsons, 4lbs canned Blackberry and Applesauce.:)
I might struggle to make anything else with Blackberries. The rain last night knocked a lot off the bushes, and more rain this afternoon has probably done for the rest:sad:
Mesquite smoked rabbit and chicken breast,with ranch mashed potatoes and buttered noodles,tomato and cucumber salad.
Rice, tomato, green pepper and King bolete soup with italian seasoning.

Today, I'll make a pizza. Last night in this apartment. Tomato pyre, cheese, garlic, more garlic, onions, minced pork, bit's of pineapple, more garlic and some more cheese. Throw it all in the oven and wait until done.

His sauce is in line with what most people around here do.
Here is one of my favorite sites.

I've made a few of their recipes, and been very, very pleased with the results.
I haven't seen it in the regular stores, where I live. Even the store that has a little better selection, has Hungarian sweet, and they have the hot, but no smoked. Most of the spice sections of local stores have "Paprika". Most of the people who work there, don't know that there is such a thing as smoked, or hot paprika. LOLQuote:

Well,, I got my chores done, no women folk around the area. SO I decided to go the gourmet route. Fried Spam slices (bacon flavored variety), two eggs over medium, toast with a bunch of butter and a good cup of coffee. Mmm,,,Mmmm good . JUst hoping I cleaned up well enough for the women folks not to see the evidence.
You'll probably be OK......as long as you can control the aromatic emissions.:wavey:Quote:

I placed a fish on a clay patty and then place another patty on top. I worked the edges to seal the two patties.
The clay covered fish was placed on the edge of the fire in the ashes with a some coals under and on top. It cooked for about 45 minutes before we cracked them open.
The fish was fully cooked and moist.
You can also just gut the fish leaving the head, scales, and fins on and cover it with clay. When it's done the clay will remove the skin and scale when taken off. Pull on the fins to remove some of the bones and cut the head off.
Apparently it's also called Picante Pimenton:cool:Quote:
