Signature Dish

[mat]

Speaking of beans, I do a "signature" ten bean soup with sausage, ham, chicken, ground meat and any other meat on hand. It ends up being a meat soup rather than a bean soup.

I suck at cooking, so... Mac n cheese with sliced up hot dogs, I guess.  

And the instant Kraft MaC......

That’s pretty cool. I’m gonna try some. Thx for the background. 

I was at HEB on F M 365 in Port Arthur (often called Nederland WM) this afternoon and they had several bags anasazi  beans.

Now they have 5 less......

They were $2.78 a pound.  Not sure about other HEBs.

Saw 4 HEB trucks and a generator heading into orange

This is not a signature dish, necessarily, but something I love to cook/eat. 
Homemade retried beans (use your leftover pintos) and Mexican rice. 
Serve it along side any Tex Mex dish. Can’t beat the homemade stuff.

Holy moly.   Always heard you could throw green peas in the water, and when the fish come up to take a pea, spear’em.   Durn if he didn’t.   What a fisherman.  🎊🎉🎊

I can’t believe I left this off of my signature list. 
Shrimp & Grits

My son’s 18th is coming up. I asked him where he wanted to go eat for his birthday between Houston and Lake Charles. He said, “I want you to cook your shrimp and grits. Nothing from Houston to Lake Charles can beat it.” That’s my boy...

Came out great! Did cheesy grits and had some huge shrimp and some garlic bread. Such an easy dish but so good if it's done right.

Yep. I usually do jalapeño cheese grits. Kinda hard to beat that dish. Pure comfort food.

and...... they don’t give you gas.

They are named after the Anasazi Indians who cultivated them.

@tvc184

I finally made some Anasazi beans yesterday afternoon.  Awesome!

HOWEVER: my house must be built on an old Anasazi Indian burial grounds. To make my point clear, I’m posting this atop the old porcelain throne. My wife is telling me I need to move out til this goes away. My eyes are watering, and my stomach is churning like a washing machine. Good news is, I’m having more of the leftovers tonight.

That was from the eggs you are for breakfast... 😂

Great tasting beans aren’t they?

They’re excellent. I’m converted. 
...but I don’t think it was from the eggs. Lmao. 
Honestly, I had them again for supper Sunday night. They are really really good!

Made my first trip to The Outback in 25 years.  Not a big fan of fried steaks, but saw an ad that they have 3 charbroiled now.  Got the bone-in Ribeye.  Good gosh that was a great steak.

I’ve tried steaks at all the steakhouses. Seem they are all hit n’ miss. My favorite place for steaks now is Carraba’s. The 10 oz. sirloin is amazing. Always get it right.

As a side note, I just finished eating some fried crappie and deep fried potatoes. Hard to beat.

You are right. Very hard to beat. Those white perch are delicious. Gotta fry some yellow onion with them taters too.

The Sirloin with the Marsala Sauce on it and the garlic mash potatoes, the fresh sourdough bread with the olive oil & their seasoning never disappoints. Great place to eat.

I get the exact same but with the Pork Chops Marsala sometimes. Absolutely delicious.

Need a licking my lips emoji, lol.

Your right about local steaks.  Haven’t been back but wouldn’t be surprised for it to be bad.  Things are sure different.  Always got a good steak at Steak & Ale.
