need some good coffee to go with all these food ideas.

I got rid of our coffee maker bout 3 years ago. I cook up cowboy coffee - friends really think it's great.

...a stainless steel one for in the house, and a high quality stainless steel mini-perc one we bought at

a great well-known frontier mini-mall place in S. Dakota called "Wall Drug". Rarely does any place serve coffee this good, imho:

[mjp28]

∆  interesting and informative read from Cal on the above "How to Make Cowboy Coffee" video,  I ended up watching the whole  14:34 on it.

Reminds me of cooking on a real authentic wood stove in the fall or winter at scout camp  -but- it would apply to the campground, backyard or in your kitchen. 

And almost everyone likes coffee either by itself or with a meal.      Check it out.  ✓

Wow that's a real hearty breakfast !  I'm not sure about the salsa but I would try it.

I've always believed that breakfast is a great way to start the day....... especially for a hard working man.    And of course with some cowboy coffee.

Any time is a good time for beer.  I don't drink anymore because when I started to take that attitude with Bourbon my liver started to revolt. When quitting alcohol became a reality, either by self choice or kicking the bucket, the choice became easy.  I am happy to report all the liver functions are back in the good range.  It's been 18 months since I had any alcohol.

I miss it sometimes, but I don't miss being sick so it is what it is.  I like to talk about it from time to time because it helps.  Thanks.

Thanks.   Made by a cousin of mine in Alabama. That side of the family has been "stilling" since the mid/ late 1800's down there.  Someone keeps picking up the trade and the recipe keeps getting passed down.

With the weather this year we had a bumper crop of my wife's herbs, we would cut them back and they kept growing back. We were giving whole branches and even a few plants away to anyone who wanted them. Now on to Saturday's GAMEDAY MEAL with a few leftovers for today.

★ The wife got chicken thighs, skinned them, dried thouroughly, dipped in a Grey Poupon mustard and melted butter dip, coated in panko breadding, added more dip on top to get crunchy and just enough of her homemade and dried herbs......in the oven about 35 minutes. Fantastic!  (May do recipe if anyone is interested.)

She made a risotto with a creamed asparagus and herb mix. (She makes her own herb mixes out of various combinations like the store bought rubs. And not a fortune!) Now I'm not a big rice guy but it was great!

Her oven roasted carrots as a side, always good. Apple pie ala mode for desert.

Chicken thighs and risotto tonight's snack. Ummmmmm.

Going back over the classics here before they're gone,  this one is from October 28, 2018   -but-  we do something like this often.

Quick, easy,  delicious !    Bon appetit !

◆ CHEESEBURGER TOMATOES ◆  - on a diet or just have a bunch of tomatoes handy or just love tomatoes? Great for an snacks too!

Inspired by our taco tomatoes (CLICK ON LINK!)  this low-carb hack is for anybody who is trying to eat healthy but really wants a cheeseburger. 

YIELDS:4 SERVINGS

PREP TIME:0 HOURS 5 MINS

TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 20 MINS

INGREDIENTS

 

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb. ground beef

1 tbsp. ketchup

1 tbsp. yellow mustard

4 slicing tomatoes

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2/3 c. shredded cheddar

1/4 c. shredded iceberg lettuce

4 pickle coins

Sesame seeds, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

 

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, then stir in garlic. Add ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, and cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in ketchup and mustard. 
2. Flip tomatoes so they are stem-side down. Cut the tomatoes into six wedges, being careful to not cut completely through the tomato. Carefully spread open the wedges. Divide cooked ground beef evenly among the tomatoes, then top each with cheese and lettuce. 
3. Garnish with pickle coins and sesame seeds.

One more from August 20, 2019 I want to save along with the taco tomato variation.

A cheeseburger without the bun.   I also like an occasional tomato sandwich especially in tomato season.

LOL, Port, the Breakfast of Champions.   1\2 kidding 'Peen.    You've obviously made the right choice... Many don't, until it's too late. In my hospital years I saw many poor souls exhibiting varying shades of canary yellow to darker orange skin (with matching yellow eyeballs) in end stage liver failure. One of my relatives didn't make it to 40... Travelling Mac Tool salesman with a case of Seagram's in the van always handy.  

I suppose I should consider myself lucky as my liver enzymes have always been normal.  Don't ask me how. But at my age, that pile of empty calories every week has ballooned my weight to a level it shouldn't be at.  What concerns me is some of our wine group (to my mind) have gone on an unhealthy Bourbon kick. Visiting distilleries in Kentucky and buying an entire barrel of bourbon that they've personally selected. Unless they're giving a lot of it away, I can't imagine how you could slam down 6-8 bottles in short order. Yeah, I've bought bottles of the boutique stuff they've offered, but now I certainly have a lifetime supply of high octane bourbon in the Wine Cellar.  Oh, I get ragged on being a wimp for putting my Bourbon on the rocks... But I plain can't understand how these guys find sipping 124 proof cask strength bourbon straight enjoyable in any way shape or form...

A lot of truth in what you say there Larry   -and-   there are also hereditary factors that play into this subject.  Some old geezers can drink daily well into their 80s or whatever.

I've always thought whether it's eating, drinking know your limits and do it in moderation.  Now cigarette smoking is another matter especially if you like to inhale bad business !  In the last job I had 3 guys in our office were smokers all gone from 63, 68 and the one who quit later 72.

I've smoked premium cigars since I was 18  but I never inhaled !   I'm 71 now and have NO heart, lung or any other problems there.  And premium cigars are 100% tobacco  not some of the non tobacco junk in cheap cigars and cigarettes.

SO eat well, exercise whenever you can and drink whatever beverages you like in some moderation........... before some doctor has to read you the riot act.

And  bon appetit have a good meal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TODAY'S MENU -. brunch,  V-8,  chopped up and seasoned avocados ? on buttered toasted rye bread open face sandwiches plus black olives.   It was really good.

Supper tonight - all leftover from yesterday and it was delicious ! I wanted a ◆ cucumber salad ◆  but it was starting to go bad so the wife whipped up some zucchini and chopped up white onions (or red) and the usual dressing mayonnaise, sour cream.   Mix well and salt and pepper to taste chill before serving mmm-mmm.

Main meal some  ◆ STUFFED RED PEPPERS  ◆   ? OMG !   With  a few dollups of sour cream if you want,  same with a few squirts of hot sauce.

I can't wait.

• 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
• 1/4 pound Genoa or other salami, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 (24-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

What to Do

2. In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat and brown beef rolls 6 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Reduce heat to low and add spaghetti sauce; cover and simmer 35 to 40 minutes, or until beef is tender. Remove toothpicks before serving.
