There is a place on the south side of OKC kind of like that... they have everything from Chinese food to Vietnamese noodle soup to Mongolian BBQ.  I go for the Mongolian BBQ. My kids call it the "Golden Pal" (I think the name is Golden Palace) and Lyon calls it the "Golden Cow."

Dinner tonight?  Valentine's surprise.  Mom got us tickets to her church's Valentine's Banquet for supper tonight.

Tax return came in today.  I think that means I don't have to cook tonight!

Hmm, Homey... that would mean I don't get to eat tonight if it was mine.

I am eating left over roast beef and Potatoes courtesy of Sassy.  She always leaves me quite a bit of food so I don't die before she returns from work for the week.

Last year I screwed up and got a refund from the state. The norm is for us to owe the feds and the state both when it comes to filing time. That's why I'm never in a hurry to get it done.

Dinner was part leftovers for me too; London broil with a newly baked white sweet potato and some assorted salad stuff.
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

Sounds good, Don.  We ended up at IHOP.  We were going to eat something a little nicer, but after looking at myself in the mirror with dog hair stuck all over my shirt (I'd just gotten back from taking the pup to the vet) and one look at the kids in their ratty sweatpants and stringy hair,  decided that IHOP was about as classy as we could go.  It was a good thing we did go there, as it turned out, because we ran into old friends from college that we haven't seen in at least ten years, and found out they live right down the road from us.  Breakfast for supper always tastes really good, but I was miserably full afterwards.  :)

Many times I prefer supper fro breakfast too.  Frozen nuked Costco Burgers for breakfast... mmmm good, and I don't think they have the pink stuff either.

Glenn, that sounds like me... when I was a kid, mom used to just shake her head at me warming up  a bowl of beans or leftover pizza or whatever for breakfast.

We had quiche tonight for supper.  Considering I'd never made quiche before, i thought it was pretty tasty.  Used up the last of the summer squash from the freezer in it.

Smoked salmon appetizer followed by smoked turkey, rice and gravy :)

The turkey was done Thanksgiving (we do two and freeze the left overs) but the salmon was done today :)

That salmon looks yuumy.

It's a td passed 5:30 here and I have no idea what's for dinner.

I just picked cauliflower from the garden from about a six year or so old plant - it keeps making heads every year.  Sassy is fixing it and salmon and last night when I got home she had rib eye steaks barbecuing in the wood stove over a nice hot oak fire along with garden corn frozen from last summer, beans and broiled bread.  [hungry]

Sounds really good Sassy.  Well at least he will not starve when you go back to work.   Maybe not the healthiest food but we know Glenn and how he eats when you are in the valley. ;D  What is it with salmon.  We had it also this evening ( probably not as fresh as yours), baked potato and garden salad.

She doesn't want me getting too skinny --- you know - after a week away she wants those love handles to be there.... [waiting]

I started a brisket this afternoon, one of my favorites to cook.  Its a half brisket actually, about 8 pounds, but it has the point and the flat.  I cut a deep slit in the meat to add some stuffing.  stuffing a brisket?  you bet.   In a big pot I made a roux, oil/water/cajun seasoning, in the blender I mixed up a big yellow onion and three bell peppers, tossed in some slap ya momma hot spices and a touch of cayenne.  Then packed the brisket cavity with it. 

The brisket was rubbed in a mostly traditional texas rub, onion powder, garlic power, lots of paprika, salt & pepper,  some cayenne, a little crown royal and olive oil served as the dry rub "glue".   





pay no attention to the bottles behind the meat, thats just peach margarita making goings on... 

On the pit at 225, over oak. 





after about 4-5 hours I'll be wrapping it in alum foil, to let it finish overnight. 
With some luck this will be done around 9-10am tomorrow morning. 

I'll post back when its done. 

muldoon

You just don't want to think about the ugly truth, Glenn.   ;D

I think I'm making some chipolte sausage, scrambled eggs, and whole wheat waffles for supper.

No longer true. They can be found in Las Vegas and Reno, NV, Phoenix and Tucson, AZ plus Salt Lake City and Washington City, UT. Maybe other places too. I've heard that NM may have one this year.

Really, Homey-- I think they are OK -- they make their own meat so the pink slime monster cannot taint the beef.... [waiting]
