Damn, I'm glad I don't work you. I'd weigh 400#.

You can tell nobody up here misses many meals, but it is healthier than eatin out everyday.


Went the easy beans and rice recipe today like I posted in Roll-Tide's thread.

Started by crumbling and browning 1# of Jimmy Dean hot breakfast sausage withe a couple chopped onions and bell pepper.
Added 6# of sliced Echrich sausage and browned for another 20 min. Not the biggest fan of Echrich but its all right and guys up here eat the heck out of it.
Puree'd a 30 oz can of pintos, added 4 14oz can of blackeye's, little bit of water and then cajun salt, black pepper, and a little garlic powder.
Simmered 30 min
Served over steamed rice.
If you add the rice directly to the beans it is pretty good for the 1st hour, but then the rice starts getting pretty mushy.


Onion / Bell Pepper $2
5 cans beans - $5
Jimmy Dean $3
Echrich $10
Rice $1

Little over a buck a piece.

My lunches vary from monotonous to weird. Out of the last 20 years more often than not ive had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and that's it... gotta make up for what I eat and drink on the weekends and at dinner. Last week I ate left over bbq sausage and chicken thigh/leg quarters every day. Yesterday was 2 pieces of panko fried fish and 2 bbq drumsticks. Today was a mix bag of celery, chocolate chip cookies, leftover biscuit from breakfast this morning, and a banana.

Today I had boring Kbob's half chicken and broccoli, it came with dressing and it was well not great. I guess I just fueled my body with bland food, just boring fuel.

Slow roasted the 2 pork butts yesterday, cubed and reheated one with a can of green enchilada sauce plus some extra garlic salt, cayenne and chili powder. Other one got cubed, panned and put in the freezer.
Couple large cans Goya Charro beans
Spanish rice
Salad.

Hired my nephew a while back, and he used to work in a restaraunt so letting him help out in the kitchen when he is not helping out on the dock. Looks like I have been stuck in the same food rotation for a while. While it doesn't bother me might be time for a little change. Lent starts next week so I'll switch to Cajun gear a little. Maybe dig us some easy, good large casserole recipes also.

I prob over use salad, beans and rice. Reasons to me our obvious, #1 the are all good, #2 they are all cheap, #3 beans and salad are pretty damn healthy. Rice not so much, but it sure does make a good side and filler.

Pork Butt $8
Beans $3
Rice $2
Tortillas $5
Chips $2
Salsa and fixins $2

$22 / $1.10/each

Clean out the freezer day.
Ham from around Christmas, roast cabbage, some frozen scalloped potatoe dish that showed up in rhe deep freeze a while back, last of this weeks salad. Next to nothing on cost on this one.

Mom with the home run today. Homemade liver and onions then a pork stir fry for the liver haters. I'm def not a liver hater, love the stuff.

I love liver done like that.

She does it a little different than I would. Browns the liver pieces, then makes a gravy in the skillet, sticks the pieces back in and adds water to cover and sliced onion on top then simmers it for a while. She says thats how Grandma taught her. I told her makes more sense to soften up the onions in the roux first. Came out pretty good.
