Made a good pasta dish last night… Penne noodles… cooked some Italian sausage crumbled up with garlic and crushed red… added a cup of whipping cream when it was cooked, then added a bunch of fresh parm and moz… added the noodles and mixed it all together… very good.

There's a cardiologist out there with the GPS coordinates of your house.

What's your speed dial # for 911, ACamp?


I make basically the same thing. Screw the haters, it's fantastic.

I'm with you guys on that pasta dish.

Next time instead of the whipping cream, try mascarpone cheese, butter, lemon, and capers. Blend into the same consistency as gravy. You will LOVE it! Oh yeah, throw some mushrooms with the italian sausage....

Oh my god yes... I do the mushrooms already but the lemon and capers sound fantastic. Gotta say I'm not sure about mascarpone, thought it was a dessert thing. Thank you.

Try the masarpone - great for sauces. I've even used it in stuffed shells and lasagna...

Last night I took the wife to a very high end Mexican spot ( we usually prefer the mom n pop hole in the walls) and I had fish tacos... Honestly maybe the best fish tacos I've ever had, they made them with sea bass... Who knew? Absolutely my new go to for fish tacos.

Today I'm making a chili for cfb Saturday, also making a large batch of mixed greens (mustard, turnip and collard) cooked in salt pork onions and crushed red with some apple cider vinegar...

Those mixed greens sound wonderful.

Last night I made one of my kids' favorite pastas. I chop up a ham steak, and pan fry it in butter, then I mix in peas, heavy whipping cream, and grated Parmesan and cook it till it thickens some (or you can just add a little flour before the cream if you are in a hurry). After cooking some shell pasta, I mix it into the sauce. I can usually make the dish in less then 20 minutes so it is nice for when I don't have a lot of time.

Pork chops in a mango habanero salsa marinade. Best marinade I have ever used. I usually cook it with chicken cutlets but trying it with pork this time.

Fatties are in the freezer to firm for a second. Charcoal is in the chimney getting ready. These should be done just prior to kickoff.

Smoking these is turning in to a fucking nightmare. It took me an hour to get them made. Now with the weather I can't get the PBC over 200. They won't be done till halftime. Which is fine but I don't want to be interrupted to check them during the game.

The wind is heavy and it looked like the coals were going out. I had the intake facing the opposite of the wind and I think it was starving it. I turned it around but it wasn't coming up fast enough. I added a few hot coals to jump start it. The PBC should run 275-325 most of the time. I fear it would go out if I ignored it for a half.

Always have beans in my chili... Lol

Reps and comments on my greens so here's the basic recipe...

Two bunches of mustard, one bunch of turnip, one bunch of collards, all washed and trimmed of stem then diced up... I fold and roll mine up to get this done fast...

-Diced one onion fine

-Take two cut of salt pork or three bacon slices, cook in a large pot with a little oil...

- remove pork when enough fat has gathered and it's done to you liking.. Set aside
- add onion to the pot without draining, add some crushed red, and 1-2 adobo chiles from the can, with sauce, diced up... Stir fry until onions are good...
- add balsamic of choice, we use a Serrano chili balsamic we get from a spot from Santa Fe but that's obviously hard to get, any rich balsamic will do, just a good drizzle
- add all the greens and continue to stir fry for another minute or so
-add two cups of chicken broth, cup of water and a healthy amount of apple cider vinegar ( if you used bacon, add salt to taste, salt pork doesn't need this step)
- reduce heat and cook on low for at least forty minutes
- ten minutes before serving dice up pork and add back to the greens
Serve with Cajun hot sauce of choice ( franks red hot or Crystal is my go to)

Super bomb for an ultra health food, despite the pork fat.

So it's been hot here for months now and we finally got hit with a cold front, it's been stormy and below 75 for a couple of days... good enough for soups and stews, something we don't dare do when it's 100 degrees every day.

Tonight I'm making a crab soup recipe that Cack was kind enough to share with me... never had before but seriously looking forward to it. I was forced to use canned crab meat, hope that doesn't take away from it too much....

Yo, if you and Cack would be so kind and willing to pass that along. I'd enjoy taking a shot at it
