Boletes and chantrelles are up here. next thunderstorm and we should be rocking the mushroomsteaks again.

Also, the squirrels here are apparently real big into amanita muscaria. Squirrels gone shaman.

Finally. Building table once this winter stops fucking with my spring.

still waiting...

roast chicken and mashed potatoes tonight. chicken smothered in garlic + mustard+ soy sauce+ olive oil+ S&P= so good roasted on an on-going winter's night. browned and roasted in the smallest little cast iron pan that would snuggle the bird in.

otherwise, it was drive through coffee AND GRILLED CHEESE sandwiches re-toasted on a waxing iron.

Aint gonna lie.. im jealous. The fight to stay below 200 is already hard enough though - a new bbq place just opened thats on my way home from the gym. Thankfully they dont do to go orders.

first bbq here last night. it barely snowed. blade steak with napa cabbage coleslaw and pickles for the meat snack hor d'oeuvres, then little hamburgers. 2 people fell asleep early in front of the fire.

do y'all call the little burgers sliders in canadia?

do y'all call the little burgers sliders in canadia?

yup, Lox people call them that here too. my sense of the language there was to try not to obfuscate for the sake of making a new food word up.

it does somehow seem like a more fulsome food experience though to have a specific name for the thing you're eating. it makes the food more of a thing, tastier because it means something.

[AlwaysLimping]

Dude its a burger. You wolf that shit down..not ponder it

[toivo]

Every bite is ponderous wonder, that's my goal, barring distraction.

[Lox]

Sometimes you ponder it.

CHICKEN thighs, broccoli, brown rice all day son!

chicken broth keeps longer if you heat it up it through the week.

chicken pot pie two ways: authentic, meaning last night's leftovers- roast chicken, roast yellow carrots, diced, green beans, bbq corn, mashed potato crust. and the real home-school way, from my grandma: mushroom soup, canned corn, canned veg. tenderflake crust. the feeling of home is a collective make believe.

fresh off the boat, redact:

fucking finally found a place on the west coast that makes a passable chicken parm.

[stonefiend]

Chicken parm? Isn't that some specialized obamacare food? Not being racist. just being realistic. I reckon you can cook mad chicken parm. Italian cheese .

[slim]

Chicken Parm. Talk about a food I would NEVER fucking eat. I'd eat a fucking eggplant before I touched that shit.

pretty much finished eating Yodel the cow. just a tongue and tail remain. the ski team had a feast today, with barbecued large burgers, chili, rice, coleslaw- made of pickled shallots, pickled vidalia onion, napa cabbage, mayonnaise. we ate so much cow this afternoon, then played scrabble.

[pmahnn]

Never built the table. Sitting on my deck. Cooks delicious meats regardless.
