My wife is out of town for the weekend so I get to make a dish she's not fond off.

Grill some chirazo and some chicken.



Then grill some shrimp and peppers.



Cut it all into bite sized pieces. Throw in some smoked paprika sauce and home grown cherry tomatoes.



Throw it all in a pan with sautéed onions, garlic and oregano. Add rice and the sauce and simmer until thickened.

Poor man's Paella. With a good hoppy IPA to compete with the spicy dish.

Excuse me while I clean the drool off of my keyboard.

Those are essentially all the ingredients in the house fajita served by the local Mexican cuisine joint...so I already know it has to be delicious.  O0

This was lunch at the office today



prepare before work: dice 1 plum tomato, 1/2 small red onion, 1/2 small green bell pepper and flash-roast in a hot pan for about 3-4 minutes, then stash in a tub with 3/4 cup of cooked chicken (I use Perdue pre-roasted)

Small bag of tortilla chips
1 cup of shredded colbyjack

chips on bottom, half the cheese, chicken and veggies, rest of cheese
nuke in the microwave for 90 seconds

chow down

I'd have to ditch the onions, but otherwise that sounds damn tasty.

Lemme guess- the person who thought that up lives in Colorado or Washington State?

I might just have to try these next time my father-in-law is here.  He loves him some Kit Kats.

Incidentally, my dinner this morning consisted of smoked ham, baked beans, potatoes au gratin, and a couple pears.  Slightly late in the year for such fare, perhaps, but still damn good. 

A novel concept.  I could see those being quite tasty.

Yesterday I made my first Julia Child's boeuf bourguignon using this recipe:

http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/julia-childs-beef-bourguignon/f7e0a6c5-710d-4c83-89a6-2a4936fec81a

2.5 hours of prep work and cooking, their 60 minutes is a lie. 3 hours in the oven.

Served with parsley boiled potatoes, a chunk of baguette, and a young, full bodied red wine.



Lots of work but really, really good stew.

Made Texas white wings and a bacon wrapped lobster tail for last night.  They didnt last long enough for an after picture.
