I knew this morning that it was going to be a nice evening so I took some dogs and sausages out of the freezer to thaw for the grill.
Also had some smoked boudin from Kartchner's that I thawed as well.
While that was grilling I tossed some shoestring fries in the fryer with fresh new oil. Also cracked open a nice cold beverage.
Made some cole slaw earlier too.
Time to eat!!!

Breakfast night here which was French Toast, thick slice bacon and scrambled eggs.
Had a salad and chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta.
Cooked a couple of pounds of red beans today.
Hard to beat some cornbread to go with red beans.
Here you go.......

Fajita Marinade
(for 3lbs. of meat)
1 cup of Olive Oil
1 cup of Soy Sauce
4 Tbsp. of Hot Sauce
3-4 Jalapenos I used 4 and deseeded 2 of them.
1 med. Onion quartered
2 Tbsp. Cayenne Pepper
2 tsp. Meat Tenderizer
2 Tbsp. Fajita seasoning(usually Fiesta brand)
3-4 toes of fresh garlic
1 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika
2-3 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
2-3 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
For spicier flavor sometimes I add one or 2 canned Chipotle peppers and some of the liquid/sauce.
Put everything in a blender and liquefy until smooth and liquidy.
Pour over meat and allow to marinate a good 6 hour to overnight.
Enjoy!

You making homemade guacamole? I am.
No, I didn't like the way the avocados looked. I did grab one for slicing.
Got some chicken and beef marinating for cooking later this afternoon.
Got the peppers and onions sliced and ready to go to.
Alright, so the fish was frozen and from Costco, the veggies were frozen but I made the fettucine from scratch.
It was still a pretty darn good meal!
It seemed like a good day to griddle some burgers outside this evening.
Started off with cooking the bacon.
Then the burgers.
Had a little room to cook some sausages from Cain's.
I had a double with bacon, cheese mustard, a lil' ketchup and sliced onions.
Made some bronzed catfish for fish tacos, cheater shrimp rice and cole slaw for dinner this evening.
Started off with warming the the soft tortillas and having the first margarita.
Then it was on to the cheater(Rice-a-Roni)shrimp fried rice which came out really good.
And last but not least the catfish.
Time to eat!!!
Just made some pepperoni tortilla pizzas.
Pretty darn good for how easy it is.

The wife made tuna salad. I upgraded mine to "Tuna Melt" sandwich.
Alright, I let the chili simmer until the meat was nice and tender.
I whipped up a jalapeno cornbread that has diced pickled jalapeno(sweet and hot), creamed corn, cheddar cheese and finely diced onion.
Baked that in a cast iron pan with melted beef tallow.
I ended up leaving those shishito peppers in there and scratched adding jalapenos as it has a nice spicy kick after adding some Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning. I love it!
This is a chili that is definitely one for a cold day. Even with the upper 70's here it is pretty darn good.

Homemade Texas Red Chili

This morning I put a pot of Texas Red(Bowl of Red)Chili on to simmer a good while for dinner this evening.
3.5 pounds of 1/2" cubed stew meat cooked and waiting to start the chili.
Chillies and first dump/batch of spices added.
Couldn't find any serrano peppers so I tossed in some shishito peppers and will put some jalapenos in later.
This will simmer for a couple of hours and I make a cornbread to go with later today.

That was usually during lent or on a St. Joseph's Alter
Wrong! No meat is put on a St.Joseph Altar! What was put on the altar and eaten on St.Joseph's Day is Pasta Milanese. Not meat involved. If anything it was fish or other seafoods. And eggs were served as extra protein.
re: What do y'all know about weenie spaghetti?
Posted by Cajunate on 3/3/26 at 1:13 pm to SidewalkTiger
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.
