Nice look into the kitch, Aubrey!
I was about to ask you what you had for dinner.

lollie, that is a 'lil glimpse, at least. they combined where i used work, the other service areas, relocated an area so as to create the 1 restaurant....... so :sad: to see my school fading away.
 
This turned out so good that I wanted to post it by itself before dinner.

Diced Russet taters, hard cooked eggs, diced celery, grated carrot, celery seed, Hellman's mayo, sour cream, sweet pickle relish, salt, fresh ground pepper, topped with sliced eggs, parsley and Spanish paprika. As with most, no measuring, just go by feel and taste.

i trust your judgement, so i'll give it a whirl. haven't bought many healthy bars, 'cept way when ago when there were like 2 brands. (btw, ex used to often make me get the special k cereals, :biggrin:- it was girl cereal, he said.)
 
The NOVFA Firefighters Convention is in town for the weekend.
The usual fair - type lovely junk foods are available.

Between myself, Linette and some others, we decided that someone should run downtown to the concessions for the Italian sausage/onion and pepper subs.

Guess who got elected?
It was a madhouse down there.. had to park at the bank and walk down in uniform, no less..

Lots of peeps were already way too happy from the beer tent, sirens blaring, bands playing..
Damn.. and all I wanted was to run out for some dinner. :yum:
 
Bay back ribs, slaw and potato boats with lotsa bacon. :clap:

ugh... can't... move....

Here's what the China Buffet provided for dinner, that DS paid for. I always have three plates of food when dining here... Appetizer course, main course and finally, dessert course.

Mussels, stuffed clams and Nigiri Sushi with wasabi & pickled ginger on top.

Shrimp, green beans, sesame chicken over vegetable fried rice and some kind of beef & mushroom dish that was quite good. (Quite possibly it could have been made from some feral animal from around the restaurant.

A couple more nigiri sushi, Crab rangoon, crab stuffed shells, pork egg roll, and imitation crab in an onion and cheese sauce.

Ironman, you got a recipe for those potato boats you can share? Thanks.

Bob
Yes I do rlk.

Basically you bake the potatoes at 350* for an hour in the oven.
Take them out, cut them in half and scoop out the inside leaving a 1/4" shell.
Smother the inside with butter, and add some salt and pepper. Then put in some crumbled cooked bacon and top it off with shredded cheddar cheese.
Throw them back in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes to melt the cheese.
I added diced green onions and sour cream on top. You can also add chives, or whatever else you want.
Must use Wisconsin cheese tho. :mrgreen:

Here's a video doing kinda the same thing with different stuff.

Thanks. I'll be trying your recipe shortly.

The only problem with potatoes like that is I usually eat the scooped out potato and get too full to enjoy the finished meal.:whistling::yum:
 
Ironman,
I notice you have charcoal briquettes on a gas grill. Never seen that done before. Does that help give more of a charcoal taste?

Thanks, Bob.

Yes Bob, it does when they are under the food.

My original plan was to put an expanded steel grate over the burners in place of the stainless flavorizer bars, and fill it with ceramic briquettes. When the drippings fall on the hot briquettes you get the same smoke flavor of charcoal. I never got around to fabbing up a grate yet, so I put the briquettes in between the flavorizer bars, but a few of them fell through so I just put them inside on top of the grill for now. You can barely see a few of them in the pics still there.
I grill out all year long and wanted to make it simple as possible, so I piped a natural gas line out to my new grill. But - I prefer the taste of charcoal (without the hassle). I think I got everything almost the way I want it now for when the Packers are in the playoffs this year and win the Superbowl. :mrgreen:
