Fire In The Hole ~ Ronbeaux's Bleu Boogas
Twice Baked Kaw-Cajun Tater Wedges
Bigassed Idaho tater, scrubbed and rubbed wit bacon grease & dusted real good wit my top secret Kaw-Cajun tater seasoning.
Baked 3/4 way, hot and nasty 425* ~ then immediately out the oven cut into wedges while they still piping hot (there's a reason for dat, but don't ask me because dat's a secret too ... and iffin' you do know why, don't be tellin' nobody else they all be doing it.)

Tillamook cheese grits ~ 16/20 ct. shrimps, Burgers Smokehouse country ham & bacon, da holy trinity, my own cajun spice blend and a splash dat good Cajun Power garlic sauce
I had some turnip greens wit mah shrimp & grits last night ~ is it considered bad manners to pick up da bowl & drink dat turnip green likker, or should i have throwed a piece of cornbread in there & sopped it up? I ain't sayin' what I did, but I swear I felt my mama reach down from Heaven & come up the side my head wit a flyswatter.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs
My ex-wife was deaf.
She left me for a deaf friend.
To be honest, I should have seen the signs....

Homemade Refried Bean Dip
OK, so I made some refried beans from scratch last week - kicked up with bacon & onions/chiles and spices ~ good stuff. Then I took some them homemade refried beans & added some my homemade roasted tomato & green chile salsa to it, and also added some chopped black olives ... topped it with a bunch of shredded Tillamook cheddar & heated it to melt the cheese ... whooooboy, made a dandy bean dip.

Mini Peach Turnovers
Mais ... I hadda some leftover scratch pie dough from a quiche I made a couple days ago, so I hauled off and made these lil' peach turnovers wit dat dough and some homemade peach preserves ~ baked'em up nice & golden brown then dusted'em wit a lil' powdered sugar. I threw three these in a bowl & warmed'em up and topped with a scoop vanilla ice cream for dessert last night. Gonna use the other three to make a *peach pie blizzard* for a lil' afternoon treat today.

And Now ... The Rest Of The Story
Homegrown cantalope and tomatoes, scratch biscuits w/bacon gravy, hot link sausage, farm fresh egg/cheese omelette topped with sautee'd peppers and onions. A proper plowboy's breakfast, tru dat.
Y'all surely din't think dat lil' biscuit and jelly was all I had for breakfast, didja? HUHHHH???? Appropo to the homegrown tomatoes & gravy ... when I was a kid, my ol' Daddy, him, would always put a lil' gravy on his sliced 'maters when both were available. I didn't get it then ~ it sounded awful to a kid ~ but now, I totally get it! At least once every summer, when tomatoes are in season, I drag my sliced 'maters thru some gravy. Pops, you were right all along ... and I ain't just talking about 'maters & gravy, either.

Jewish rye, country dijon, romaine lettuce, genoa salami, honey ham, pepperoni, tillamook cheddar, thick sliced homegrown tomatoes, creamy cole slaw & red onions ... badda boom ... lunch is served.
Shredded/Smoked Beef & Bean Burritos
Smoked shredded beef & homemade refried bean burritos, smothered with homemade chipotle chili con carne & dressed to the max ~ sided up with homemade roasted tomato & green chile salsa and sour cream. I called it a *Suicide* ... but if you leave off the sliced jalapenos, it's just an attempted suicide.
