I'm eating very good homemade chili with a bit of crunched up tortilla chips and cheese; a chili pie. A little fresh chopped onion is always a good topper.

It's meat candy.

tiramisu + weggy ebby

I just had the most awesome Korean BBQ. Triplet of Gui chicken, Bulgogi beef and ...uh...something else, brisket, I think.

Grilled chicken sausage with feta and spinach, American fries with homegrown flatleaf parsley, and roasted homegrown tomatoes with EVOO, Modena balsamic, fresh homegrown basil and thyme, and hard Italian cheeses. The skillet:

Celery root salad with braised pork cheek. Pork could have been seasoned more, but a splash of Lea & Perrins took care of that.

Chop't Steakhouse Salad + olives

Their employees were wearing an embroidered polo shirt with just the stylized two-handled Mezzaluna knife that they use to chop their salads with:

...it ends up looking like a smiley.

Feta stuffed olives. But only because I've eaten all the garlic stuffed ones. Om nom nom nom.

Anyway, right before MN State Fair time our local bicolor sweetcorn is just at its peak and I had to share this from tonights sweetcorn dinner with wholewheat pasta with roasted yellow and red cherry tomatoes in bacon sauce side:

A very simple fresh homegrown red tomato and green pepper salad as a side to leftover Tater Tot Hotdish:

Rough chopped some vine-ripened homegrown tomatoes and green peppers. Drained the tomatoes, seasoned with seasalt and fresh cracked black pepper and drained again. Added the green peppers and maybe two tablespoons of fresh minced white onion. Tossed. Dressed with EVOO. Tossed. Dressed with vintage Modena balsamic vinegar. Tossed. Yum.

Premium Real Crumbled Bacon With Picnic Bacon

god damn it, that looks delicious.

Chop't something Cobb something -- less the egg.

Yea, beats me, too, unless it's to explain the chunks of bacon I have to separate out (and snarf ) before I can use the rest of the bag.

Just finishing up a big pot of Pinto beans. I like just salt and pepper for seasoning, a big onion diced up and tossed in before cooking and real ham hocks are a must. I soak my beans overnight, so they cook up in just a few hours.

We eat them Southern style, with the beans and juice piled on top of fresh baked cornbread.

Should be ready in about 30 minutes.
