Or prison/nut house. The stuff I acquired from another sign shop came with a pair of handcuffs. I now know why and keep them in a handy location.

in case gino comes over?

 

[mfatty500]

I always have 2 pairs of handcuffs on hand... one for each hand and ankle

Yer' basic garlic butter basted rib-eye, smothered in caramelized sweet onions, on a toasted brioche bun... So basic, and yet so good.

Dang that looks good!

Is it also for recipes? I have a mouth-watering recipe for "firecracker" sweet beans...they do really well on a smoky grill. They're loaded with bacon, green chilies and jalapenos....onion, sweet peppers, lots of brown sugar...and a few other goodies.

They're sweet on the tongue, but then proceed with a mild after-burn on their way to the tummy.

Not for the faint of heart, or for those spending long periods of time in polite company afterwards.

Papa Jimmy’s Firecracker Sweet Beans​

A wonderfully sweet, baked bean recipe with a most pleasant firecracker after-burn that will have your taste buds asking for more.

INGREDIENTS:

1 16 oz. package of bacon, fried crispy cut into 1/2 inch squares.
1 or 2 Large (softball size) white onion, diced
3 Bell peppers, diced (red, yellow, and orange).
3 – 4 oz. cans hot jalapeno peppers, diced (Do not drain)

3 – 4 oz. cans green hot chili peppers, diced (Do not drain)

1 - 55 oz. can Bush's Baked Beans (Original seasoned with bacon and brown sugar)
1- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple or tidbits, drained
1 Cup brown sugar, packed
1 Cup molasses
1 Cup ketchup



DIRECTIONS:
Fry bacon pieces in frying pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Do not discard bacon grease. Sauté diced onion and diced bell pepper in bacon grease until tender, then drain.

In a crock pot, combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, bacon pieces, onions, peppers and jalapenos. Mix well. Cook on high for a minimum of three hours. (4 to 6 hours is ideal), stirring occasionally. During the last couple of hours, leave the crock pot lid pulled back a bit so the beans thicken down during the last hour. FINISHING OPTION: Place in a charcoal grill or smoker the past hour and stir often

Adjust the ingredients to suite your sweet / heat preference.

Couldn't take it, needed a greasy burger tonight, kicked mama out of the kitchen and... Almost dropped some onion rings in the fryer for them too, but made a lot of onions already.
Two 1/4 pound-ish (+) patties, lots of cheese, caramelized onions, my own sauce, on toasted brioche buns, with fries. Did some math this time too... This plate of food cost about $2 less to make than buying a big mac (just sandwich).
Which would you rather have?

Is that a brioche bun from Aldis?

That looks REALLY good!

I have a Piggly Wiggly 1/2 block away.

That looks REALLY good!

Oh, it was... I make them maybe once a month or so. Not something you'd wanna eat every day if you want yer' heart to keep beating, but ya' can't beat them when you're craving an awesome greasy treat.
Everyone I've ever made them for wants me to open a burger joint

Oh yeah!!!

I'm such a burger addict.... Did another creation this weekend that was good enough too get added into rotation.
Burger is about 1/2 pound 75/25 seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, obviously smothered with cheese. It's own custom sauce, lettuce, tomato, and topped with onion sticks, on toasted buns.
My sauce for this was Japanese mayo, ketchup, dijon, very finely chopped sweet onion and pickles, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika for a little smokiness.
All the right textures and flavors. My burgers will probably kill me some day, but what a way to go

You must either have a VERY big mouth or you use a fork.

According to my wife, it would be the big mouth

 

[Gino]

Ya know, sometimes I pile 'em up like that, but I tend to only taste the strongest flavor. Are the others all wasted ??

 

[DL Signs]

Yeah, make em' too high and that happens. I had to smoosh it a bit to get perfect bites, flavors were balanced, meat was still the star like I always want it to be (with 75/25, all that rendered fat is pure flavor).
The two things that usually take over, even in small amounts, are sauces and raw onions. Just sauce on the bottom bun was plenty, the onion sticks are soaked in buttermilk before flour dredging and frying, which gives a nice mild onion flavor, and a delicate crunch (also makes it easier to smoosh to fit it in the mouth).

Mama ate all the remaining onion sticks after dinner, with some of the leftover sauce to dip them in... She couldn't get enough of em'.

I tried focaccia bread for the first time this fall from the veges I had in the garden. It was quite delicious, but a bit of work. Tried to eat as much as possible from the garden this year. I ate peas for breakfast one day LOL

 

[Gino]

All about presentation.

Do you have a steak and pork tree or shrub in your garden ?? PA outlawed them years ago. Ya can't find 'em in these parts anymore, so ya hafta go to the market and buy it from the dutchies.
