One and a half of these(at least a good 4 oz. of Woodford Reserve) should be enough until AFTER dinner.
Lol......



It's the cherries that'll get you! Lol.....

Getting ready to start cooking dinner and I do enjoy a nice cocktail while cooking.

What beverage do you all enjoy when cooking?

Haven't had one of these in I don't know how long.

Whiskey Sour!

What's on your menu for Christmas Day?

We're doing a big breakfast/brunch thing here this year. The complete menu is yet to be completely determined.

Does the pickled pork give it tanginess?


I can't say tanginess. It's just great. But when using pickled or salted pork you do have to be careful adding salt. It does bring saltiness to the dish.

Damn, you getting started early with the egg nog!

What type of white beans are you using?


Lol...... Yeah, I pretty much devoted today to getting some stuff done around the house so I felt like it was okay to have a little morning cocktail.

These are good 'ol Camelia Great Northerns.

Sitting here waiting for the time to get the rice going, make the cornbread and throw the sausage on the Keg and having a nice late afternoon drink.

For mixing I use Costco's Kirkland brands. I started to crack open a Woodford Reserve but went with the Costco stuff.







Chilly Wintry Morning Cooking

It's one of those rare dreary, chilly, wintry mornings for southeast Louisiana and I felt like some white beans for dinner this evening. Got 'em going early today as I have a long list of things to try and get accomplished.





Got some pickled pork and spiral slice ham in there.


Of course on a day like today it's a perfect morning for a lil drink to make one feel good inside.

This morning I went with a glass of egg nog with some awesome Jamaican Rum and a sprinkle of cinnamon.








The plan is to throw some sausage of the grill this afternoon and make a cornbread to join the beans and rice in my belly.

Had a couple of those Texas Toast Pain Perdu Waffles left in the fridge. Popped them in the toaster, added a lil butter and powdered sugar on one and whipped cream on the other. With a hot cup of coffee it was a treat this morning!

Looks delicious! I melt vanilla ice cream then soak the bread then into a hot skillet, good stuff.


I haven't done that but I have used Egg Nog.

Texas Toast Pain Perdu Waffles

Last night we had breakfast for dinner which isn't unusual at least one night a week.

What was different was that we had some Texas Toast bread left from last week's "After Thanksgiving Day Sandwich".





So I made Texas Toast Pain Perdu Waffles with the bread along with cheese omelets and bacon.




















Also had toasted pecans on the waffles.





The waffled pain perdu was amazing! Like a cross between Belgian waffles and French toast.

The omelet was pretty darn good too!

I was very close to ordering a couple of pizza from Papa Johns but my ahnvee for some pancakes took over. Lol.... So I made some Dolly Parton Buttermilk Pancake mix pancakes and they came out delicious! Hit the spot with a big glass of cold milk.







No bacon, no sausage just pancakes!

While in Texas yesterday I stopped at an H.E.B. Plus and picked up a few things so we had tacos tonight.

Got their in house made Butter Tortillas.



Some grilled chicken breast meat



Snagged a six pack of Watermelon Cider while there. I haven't seen this here in Louisiana.



My plate which I kind of made slopply(slopply may not be a real word but it was still pretty good. Lol.....).



Also grabbed some in store made tortilla chips which are great! Those butter tortillas are amazing!!!

Haven't really done a whole lot of real cooking in a while but today I decided to cook some chicken fricassée and candied yams, warmed up some petit pois peas, and grilled some Kartchner's boudin. Short of making some homemade bread it was a fantastic meal.

Of course it started with a nice roux!



The boudin I picked up a couple of weeks ago when I was in Krots Springs.



The boudin on the Keg. I tossed a couple of dog biscuits for Rip on there. He loves smoked/grilled meats!



The candied yams!



My plate. Yeah, I added some more gravy to that rice!














Thanks all!
If anyone has any other suggestions please do so.
