You are all making me hungry. Need to find something to eat around here

My "fried rice" turned out fantastic.

Savory, with crunchy veggies, and good spice kick.

I've had the canned veggies for almost a year, had planned a stirfry on the menu for the first Gridlife event last year but it didn't happen. Had to make something to use em in.

The pork belly wasn't fully rendered, so still spitting out chewy pieces of that. Otherwise the flavor and texture are spot on what I was looking for.

Done being productive for the day. Waiting on dude to come buy my gun, and then it's beer n videogames for the rest of the day. I did call into work to see if I could work tonight but they don't need me.

Gonna hit the garage with a Party Short.

When I'm off work for a while I raid the pantry for things that haven't been used in a while and try to come up with something to use them up.

Give it a shot, just throw chit together in a cook order that favors the ingredients and see what comes out in the end.

I'm adventurous with food, there's pretty much nothing off the table for me. Wife and boy are picky, and when I'm catering Gridlife events, I've tried slightly adventurous menus but find most people just want familiar stuff. If you're open to new foods, throw something together and see what it is!

on the flip side...black coffee...

Bagel with cream cheese.

Wife went shopping, 6yo son has his birthday buddy that stayed the night last night over. We have been doing science experiments for hours. Don't have everything for potato clock. So I decided to look up bill Nye the science guy on YouTube and let them watch him for a bit. I need a break lol. Can't wait till tonight when I can relax with a cigar and watch the Blackhawks

It's sunny and almost 50. Decided to have coffee and a cigar on the back porch. Not too bad.

Sunny here, but 26 isn’t wRm enough for a February cigar. 46? Quite possibly.

It's pretty nice today... That strange temp where you're cold from the weather, but the sun still makes your skin feel hot. Not a bad morning.

Watching the neighbors shovel snow off their driveway still...

Wife came home early so I gotta go in.

Stupid rain delay.... 😠

Going to be raining again shortly dammit

Took the wife to breakfast at a new place. Pretty good. I had a Brisket eggs bendect. Very good. Their "house potatoes" are a rift on O'Brien potatoes and were excellent. Good coffee too.

Got a pot of red beans, andouille, ham hock and such on the stove. Red beans, rice, and cornbread for supper. Grandson in the house. Nice day so far.

My last old Colt revolver is gone.

Gonna/already regret it, but made $200 on it for just having in my safe for a few years. Got it on trade for a GSG-5 that I wish I never got rid of.

But it was a good deal when I got it. I shot it a few times, fondled it more. I'll miss it.

But now I've got $1000 in a coffee can in the gun safe. Will either go to deductible on wife's car or maybe a new toy for the safe.

If it's just me, I do some experimenting. If Mrs. Beach is involved, I'm locked into more mainstream choices. Sometimes I can get away with serving something, find out she likes it, then let her know what's in it

Red beans & rice here too...cept I've got porchops and jalapeno cornbread... 😁

I could use some jalapeno cornbread right about now.

Wife made chala (bread). Tastes great!

🌫

Made pork chops last night. I was going to do jalapeno cornbread, but the kids are here. So I'm doing the bacon grease cast iron skillet corn bread. I love that bottom crust it gets!

My Vette won a Best Of Show award at the All Chevy car show. Not sure what the judging criteria was but there were about 250 cars there so it was a lot more than I ever hoped for. I really don't care about awards as driving and bench racing with others is what I like.
