Weenie stew over rice.

I haven't tried to put that many away in one sitting in a while but I could eat a bunch.
When I was a kid I loved the Cloverleaf brand donuts the corner grocery(DiMaggio's)sold.
Thick cut bacon on the griddle.
Too good to not have 2 with some crispy, salty Lay'sPotato chips!
BLTs for Dinner This Evening

Getting ready to start cooking some bacon on the griddle outside and felt like a cold beer.
It's 87 freaking degrees outside already and February isn't over yet! I'm betting it's going to be a hot summer.

Yesterday being a Lenten Friday I made a seafood salad for sandwiches last night.
Had to run a couple of errands and while at Rouse's I almost forgot to get the buns for the sandwiches until I noticed a lady rolling a cart with fresh warm bolillos. The crusty Mexican sandwich rolls I usually get to make Cuban sandwiches. I stopped her and she graciously helped me with getting and bagging 8 of these warm delicious rolls.
The seafood salad after I finished making it. I should've put less of the finely diced red onions but it was still pretty good.
Mine with some Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion chips and ice cold Barq's Root Beer.
Pretty darn good!
Cooked a pot of Shrimp Creole this afternoon.
This was a good spicy one!
Picked up a loaf of St. Joseph Bread also.
This stuff is the best!
Time to eat!
Corn was just corn so no picture of that.

I haven’t yet been able to make candied yams the way I’d like. Any method you can share?
Alright, here you go..........
The fresher the sweet potato the better. I used 4 medium sized potatoes and a Magnalite pan. You want to use a somewhat deep heavy pan. You don't want to overcrowd the pan.
Peel your potatoes and cut them into about bite sized chunks. Not too big and not too small.
I layer them in the pot as I cut them up to have the right amount.(Only peel and cut them right before you're ready to cook them. If too early they will start to turn brown. You can put them in a bowl of water to prevent browning but strain and dry them well at the start of cooking or the extra water won't allow the sugar to "candy" during cooking. They will make a thinner syrup like canned sweet potatoes.
Ready to cook.... put the potatoes in you pan over a medium/low heat. No butter or oil! Sprinkle a cup to a 1.5 cups of white sugar over the potatoes. Some people use brown sugar but the molasses still in the brown sugar will like water keep it from making the candied syrup.
Sprinkle cinnamon over the potatoes(I do this by sight)you can use as little or more as you like. Sometimes I'll sprinkle just a little nutmeg but be careful if you do as nutmeg has a strong flavor.
As the sugar starts to melt the sweet potatoes will release liquid. Keep an eye on them to keep from burning and you want to stir and flip the chunks pf potatoes as they cook. After a few minutes you'll see them begin to soften.
You will see the sugar and liquid begin to "candy" and thicken. Keep watching and stir frequently and you'll know when they are done. If you want more of the "C
candy" just add more white sugar. Oh, almost forgot also when you initially add the sugar ad about 2 or 3 tablespoons of vanilla.
That's it! It's not a rocket science kind of cook and they usually go fast.
Enjoy!!!
Haven't had a good burger in a while so I decided to do some thin sliced onion smash burgers tonight.
Before getting started I poured myself a nice cold Guinness.
It's been a coons age since I've had a Guinness so last week I picked up a 4 pack.
Each one of these had a nice mound of thin sliced onions.
Had to have another Guinness!
For me I just had one single with cheddar cheese and mustard.
Shouldn't have eaten those peanut M&M's earlier?

I'll post a step by step of pictures for you tomorrow.
Today's meal came out great!
The roast was fork tender, the green beans and the yams were perfect, the rolls came out amazing and I almost forgot about the deviled eggs but they were as good as everything else.
The bread dough rose nicely.
The rolls right out of the oven and brushed with melted butter.
Here, the candied yams were just about done.
I didn't get a picture of the green beans cooking but they're on my plate here.
Got some homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert when I can fit some. Kinda ate just a tad too much.
Sunday Morning Cajun Music and Cookin'
Posted by Cajunate on 2/15/26 at 11:59 am
Haven't really done much cooking lately but today.........
Got some Cajun music on and cooking a nice chuck roast, green beans, made some deviled eggs will make some candied yams and possibly homemade rolls.

Got one from Zuppardo's a few years ago and wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be.
One and a half of these(at least a good 4 oz. of Woodford Reserve) should be enough until AFTER dinner.
Lol......
It's the cherries that'll get you! Lol.....

Haven't had one of these in I don't know how long.

Does the pickled pork give it tanginess?
I can't say tanginess. It's just great. But when using pickled or salted pork you do have to be careful adding salt. It does bring saltiness to the dish.
