What was wrong with that booze?

Absolutely nothing, it's primarily a wine event, if that's what you mean. Part of it was being responsible on my part having to drive the 12 miles home, and limiting my consumption over an extended period. One of the hosts is a doctor, and he makes sure everyone leaving is capable of driving before he lets them out the door.

BTW, one of the guys forced me to take a sip of a bloody mary made with ultra hot pepper Dayton vodka. My mouth was on fire, and I couldn't taste anything else for around 20 minutes until the burn subsided. And I'm not averse to occasional habanero stuff- and this was way hotter. EDIT: No wonder- I found out today Gene put a chocolate carolina reaper pepper in the bottle- that sucker is in contention for the hottest pepper in the world. At least 4X hotter than any habanero.

Plus, it was fresh in my mind we had a St. Patrick's Day triple fatality on I-75 involving a wrong way crash where the perpetrator had beer foaming out of their mouth post crash. Of course, they survived, and the people they hit didn't.

I had some ham subs, chips, and white chocolate macadamia cookies perusing 4 games on four different screens at the big party. There was a pig roast involved, as well as a leg of lamb which I didn't partake of. Crummy booze included 20 Y\O bourbon, Hennessy cognac, unlimited bloody marys, 2012 Camus cabernet, and small sips of around 10 similar wines.... The other 50 or so attendees bring stuff that is well out of my price range.

Damn Belmont let me down.

Haven't been to a pig roast since Hawaii.

And actually my wife wanted to make a tuna patty recipe with eggs, celery, onions, bread crumbs fried about 3 minutes per side then cheese if desired.

I wanted cold tuna out of the can with mayo and onion then melted cheese on Jewish rye.....hey 100,000,000 cats can't be all wrong!

Yes cats eat such delicacies as day old poop dried into anal area fur too.?

Italian cheeses. Provolone, Parmesan, Asiago, Mozzarella, and so many more you can't even count 'em. There are some pretty good Spanish goat cheeses out there too.

Cheddar. I love a good, sharp cheddar & use it in place of American.

I love cheese!! But my wife despite her good eating habits has an inherited cholosteral issue and has to watch how much she eats.

And a GAMEDAY food idea we occasionally get a three cheese mix for pasta parmesan, asiago, romamo on pasta.......ummmmmm.

I love snacking on provolone but mozzarella is even higher in good for you protein, love it on a fried bologna sandwich.

And cheddar, pepper jack, cojack, colby, swiss on and on........

You should try that with slightly fried pepperoni. Yum!

Or just lay it over the top of pepperoni on a handmade pizza rolled out and bake.?

Or just go to Pizzza Hut.??

Hate cheddar. Nothing an oily goo.

I understand. I take what they got. But now Bar-B-Q and authentic Mexican food, we got you there.

I bet! I'm curious how Texas BBQ differs from other types of regional BBQ? And I bet the Mexican food is phenomenal down there.

The secret is in the various BBQ sauces IMO. My son has a friend from HS who had full training as a chef and he has developed a really excellent sauce for his all day smoking and he makes a cream corn out of BBQ corn that has very little cream and rivals anyone's potato salad. The meat just falls off his ribs and melts in your mouth. I have never liked cream corn, but his is absolutely exceptional.

As to Mexican food their country is like ours with various kinds of foods coming from different regions of the country. I lot of different kinds to try here just like BBQs.

I won't go to Pizza Gut even in an emergency. Pappa John's is right behind in the lousy pizza world. MHO is Domino's is at least tolerable from the national brands.

We have at least 10 local places better than either.

Gameday practice, very spicy dry rubbed jalapeno chipotle wings cooked in the air fryer with a side of homemade sweet Alabama white sauce. Friday night munchies. Next up is Sundays dinner. Dry rubbed crispy pork skin with a roasted jalapeno relish, sweet and sour Brussels sprouts w/ homemade bacon and lastly a keto version of smoked Gouda cheesy grits. Yum yum.

So how do those things work and what kind of clean up do they require?

For the wings first dry them REALLY good. Once dry rub them good with a mix of

1/2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 Tbsp baking POWDER (NOT baking SODA, it's not the same)
1 tsp of chipotle powder
etc etc tailor it to flavors you like, add some brown sugar if you like that bbq chip taste

The key is drying them well and including the baking powder. After rubbed let them sit a good 20 minutes. Put them on the racks in the fryer @ 400F for 22 minutes.

The sauce I make so often when I grill chicken I dont even pay much attention. Essentially do a 1/2 cup of mayo, a good size splash or two of white vinegar, course black pepper, tbsn or so of minced garlic and a sweetener of your choice to taste. Its awesome on all grilled / fried chicken.

Pork belly I did in the Instant Pot to tender. Drained and cooled, sliced into strips. Rubbed the strips with a rub similar to the one above. 20 minutes on the rack at 400F to crisp the outer fat and rehead meat. Delicious. I love fatty succulent pork belly.

Hope that helped, I am not overall a recipe cook so hard to pass along sometimes.

Thanks! Will try this.
