Another great thing for peacans ( almonds also)   is a bit of honeu, red pepper and hot smoked paprika.   I make a few pounds of them every year at xmas.  Despite them being too hot for most people to handle, they are always the 1st to go when i take them some place.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Taco salad. I had a digital coupon for 50 cents off Old El Paso shredded cheese, and another coupon to get a free packet of any Old El Paso seasoning with the purchase of the cheese. So I bought that Friday and took some 80% lean ground beef out of the freezer. I already had plenty of lettuce and Doritos and threw it together today.

No recipe, but I used a whole head of lettuce, a pound of meat with spicy taco seasoning, 4-cheese blend, plenty of salsa, and creamy French dressing (the only kind I have open). I don't think the salsa sticks very well without salad dressing. I no longer own a salad bowl so I mixed it all together in my biggest mixing bowl. When I put it my serving bowl I layered it with broken nacho cheese Dortitos. They would have disintegrated if they sat in the salad overnight so I didn't put them in. I don't care how beat up the lettuce is from stirring the rest of the stuff  in. It has plenty of crunch and it will tomorrow too. Tomatoes wouldn't have fared well even if I had any.

A head of lettuce weighs about 19 ounces, so by the time I threw away the outermost leaf, a few small spots, and the core, it was nearly the same weight as the ground beef. Roughly 40% lettuce, 40% ground beef, and 20% cheese. :) No vegetarian salad for me, but I'll add fresh lettuce tomorrow. I might get my salad up to 50% vegetation. ;D In a while I'm going to wipe out the frying pan with a "scratchy pad" that has more holes in it than a slice of Swiss cheese. When they quit working I use them like a dish cloth, and at this point I'm not scrubbing anything with it. But it's had all it could take and it's going out to the curb tonight.

Some like to reload and shoot.  Some like to cook and eat....

Others just like to shoot.........

Some like to eat and... sit. And think about things.

I had a different kind of cheese dog with a side of Cuban sandwich flavor kettle chips. I put a slice of colby-jack cheese on a slice of bread, and since the bun length hotdogs are so skinny I put 2 of them on it. I put it in the microwave, hit the 1 minute button and called it lunch.

I have more bread to eat up but instead of a cheese dog I had 3 links of breakfast sausage and 2 slices of smokehouse cheddar warmed up on a slice of bread. I think I'll have a honey flavored peanut butter sandwich too. It sucks not having any jelly to put on it. I could toss in some sugar-free gummi bears for flavor but it doesn't sound that good. I was curious about what a peanut butter and jelly bean sandwich would taste like but I think I'm out them.

I finally got around to using the combo grill my wife got me for Christmas.

We caught a sale last week at one of our local meat purveyors and got a couple of pork shoulders for .99 a pound so I got a good fire going with some pecan wood and smoked them for a few hours and set the bark and then put them in slow cookers overnight to finish.

We had pulled pork sammiches for lunch and I'll freeze some for later, eat some more, and cut some out and make Brunswick stew later this week.

Moose Tenders with mushrooms and a wine sauce, and fried potatoes ...

Baked beans and a plate full of popcorn shrimp. I was going to bake some cheddar and jalapeno biscuit bites too, but when I opened the package of dough it had mold all over it.

I sampled a few slices of Cook-in-Bag Steakhouse Style Pork Tenderloin and Cajun Style Applewood Smoked Bacon Crusted Pork Tenderloin. I got 5 of them in 4 different flavors when they were on sale and froze them all until 2 days ago when I took these 2 out to thaw. And I baked a double batch of Betty Crocker Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes. I only ate what was on the spoon when I scraped out my Visions saucepan to wash it. I put them in my casserole dish that was too small to stir everything together and cook it in. So I'll be eating meat and taters for a few days. The potatoes were VERY salty. My little casserole has 200% of a days recommended sodium in it.
