just knowing you'd kindly let me in iff'n I knocked on your door (wearing a bib) is why I call you "friend".
It's not why I call you Theodore though.

Have a great time, that menu is fab!

Nothing special on the fixin's but you are always welcome to come a knockin'

My family ingrained into me to always cook an extra serving or two and to always have a seat at the dinner table empty in case someone in need needs a meal. During the holidays we place a candle in front of the extra seat and the porch lights on... a beacon to light the way for the those that may be suffering and have stuff.

Kinda corny but it's a tradition that I will carry on.

I'll take a double dose of the BLT's but hold the tomato and add extra bacon (I'm not a fan of tomatoes other then using them to cook with).

She make lumpia?

I’m deciding what to bring to the family get together, either Buffalo chicken thighs or lemon pepper chicken.

Cracker crust pizza with pepperoni and salami, cooked well done just short of being burnt... my fav pizza selection.

Porterhouse,, roasted blue potatoes, French cut green beans. a tasty bread..............mass quantities of beer , whiskey.........

desert will be waffles then pork))))

a most awesome ceegar to finish....with vodka martini/rocks

I just got back from the store, going to make Buffalo chicken temale lasagna. I use corn tortillas instead of pasta. Did grab an untrimmed tri tip for $3.87 a pound.

Keeping it simple Chili! Few snacks.

Wait till PETA hears about this!

Bad math on my part... only 15 chikens had to die..

I blame the beers I had last night.. was thinking chikens have 2 wings and I have about 60 pieces... forgot there's 4 pieces of wings per chiken...

Had left over ricotta cheese so I added dry ranch seasoning to it for the tamale lasagna, broth came out great so I hope everyone enjoys its. Added some hot sauce and pepperoncini brine to the broth.

Taking a six pack of Deschutes Red Chair with me.

at some Chinese restaurants, there're 6 pieces of wings per chicken...the wingtips are a particular delicacy

not when they're braised in garlic, ginger, soy and oyster sauce..."meat" and skin practically slide off the bones...

this is a dish that's derived from peasant style cuisine that has transitioned onto some mainstream menus

but Kelly and I didn't have that for the Super Bowl...she took a pass on hosting a Super Bowl party this year...she had had enough after more than 10 consecutive years...our kids and their families did other things...son went to Kauai and daughter went to Disneyland...quiet house...

so it was just her and me eating carnitas tacos for lunch, 3 hours before the game...we shared a bowl of popcorn during the game...Kelly said she'd rather watch a Hallmark Christmas movie... so I went to the man cave and polished off a bag of roasted peanuts in the shell...

apologies Frank...I totally missed it...

but in my impoverished and culturally distinct childhood, I was much more familiar with the tips of chicken wings than with wingtip brogues...

this goes to the heart of the discussion about the biases of standardized aptitude tests and their use

very true
