Watcha eating?

[creekbend]

Since I woke up after a short nap, I decided to apply weather stripping on our front door since the temperature has dropped. This made be hungry, so I decided to make myself a Sausage, cheese, and tomato Biscuit.

OK then, back to Watcha eating?

Lima beans with home made salsa and a big salad. Carrot cake muffin for desert.

What is this home made salsa you speak of? Sounds interesting.

I have one of those little hand cranking food processors, and first I add fresh garlic and jalapeño peppers and give it a few swirls then add about three Roma tomatoes, 1/4 onion, 1/2 of a lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, salt and pepper. I swirl it till it's a chunky salsa.

The Mrs. and I went to Kroger this AM for our weekly groceries...I looked for those Flat Iron steaks we found on special a week or so ago....they were really good ...just like a rib eye steak...No Go ! This week they wanted $7.50 a pound for a flat iron steak....Imagine that ...flat iron steak is nothing but the eye of Chuck...Chuck is what they grind up for hamburger....I did not fall off a turnip truck...they are nuts....Imagine the gall trying to fleece folks out of $7.50 a pound for chuck.....Just Outrageous...Rant Over !

Wishbone Italian dressing marinated chicken breasts, is one of 2-3 best ways I've ever cooked chicken. You need at least 4 hours, the vinegar breaks down the connective tissue, whether you grill or bake/broil, or whatever they will melt in your mouth. It also cuts cooking time in about half.

Yeah. That's really good!

Careful....I bet if you make and eat Don's salsa...you will lose all the hair on your chest, your cholesterol will run away from you, followed by your triglycerides, your blood pressure will drop and you will have this constant urge to run marathons...LOL :laughing:

Ha! You will lose hair but not on your chest. For chest hair removal add another couple more jalapeños or some serrano peppers. :fiery:

Fried catfish, oysters and okra. Yum. Had to come to the Heart of Dixie to find it and well worth the trip. Libby's Catfish, Princeville AL.

One thing that was unusual with my catfish combo was that it was served with a full slice of raw sweet onion. Is that just a northern Alabama thing or is that common in other regions? We had fried catfish at two different restaurants this weekend and both were served identically: a few whole catfish, baked potato, hushpuppies, coleslaw and the slice of onion. The onion was sweet and mild so it complemented the fish nicely but I'd never seen fish served that way before.

Had some raw carrots to snack on as an appetizer and for supper had a piece of baked cod (previously frozen), a small dish of spagetti with my homemade tomato sauce, some peas and carrots and a dish of 100% apple sauce. Almost no fat, lower salt and things I really like. Also just had some mini-wheats as a snack.

FWIW...in most true southern eateries during the season you will be served sliced tomatoes...including breakfast...!...

It could be a local thing but just a guess says it's a matter of what they may still have...does the onion only come with catfish?

I only saw the onion with catfish but my experience in restaurants was limited to two catfish joints and one BBQ place where I did not see it.

BBQ joints are usually an exception to the sliced tomatoes...Lewis Grizzard used to say if you didn't see smoke coming from somewhere out of a BBQ joint "...don't waste your time..."
