My wife makes the most amazing salad, yes Rob a salad . Filled with boiled egg, baconstrips from the oven that contains goat-cheese, tuna, roasted pine nuts, cold goat cheese, tomato, olive oil, various kinds of lettuce. And yes it’s a full meal.

 

[SkunkWorks]

That looks good!
Lots of different flavors in there............

I'm assuming those pink gooey/slimy things are the tuna? And I eat salads. Just before my cooked animal flesh, not instead of. Well, actually, there's a local place that makes a grilled chicken salad. Regular salad with grilled chicken bits. And it is the meal, not a precursor.

 

[StefanOnHisS10]

Well those gooey slimy things are the thin bacon wrapped around the honey/goat-cheese filling. Not in the pan, only the oven. So not crunchy. I like a good chicken salad too, makes me hungry thinking of it.

 

[Sierra1]

Y'all eat your bacon raw?

 

[StefanOnHisS10]

Yeah the tapeworms keep me thin.
We’ve got the kind you got for baking here too but this very thin sliced kind is precooked and are cold cuts meant to put on your sandwich as it comes. When we go to work we don’t go out for lunch. We take bread/sandwiches with various toppings from home and eat together with the colleagues (you eat your own). I always have 2 with cheese, 2 with meat (this bacon for instance) and 2 with peanut butter. Hope that clarifies it.

 

[Sierra1]

Didn't even know that kind existed. I get precooked microwave bacon, but it's still "brown". I tried Googling your style and couldn't find it.

Pacific Salmon two ways, sour cream w/red onions & Garlic/soy/brown sugar plus some steamed asparagas w/butter.

 

[Sierra1]

I don't know how y'all survive on those prison sized portions.

I don't know how y'all survive on those prison sized portions.

It's the home baked bread and cinnamon rolls, (and liquor), that make up the difference.

20 seconds in the micro to warm up.

Was craving Chicken-Wings this past weekend, so I bought a huge bag at Sam's Club and made a few batches.



I didn't feel like smoking up the House with the Air-Fryer, so I cranked up the Traeger to 450-degrees.
I first coated them with my secret mix of Baking-powder and a little Salt to dry them out, and threw the first batch in.



While those were getting cooked I mixed up a batch of Honey-Garlic wing-sauce, using some local raw-Honey that my friend Andrew gave me from his Bee-Hives.



After 18-minutes, a flip, and an additional 16-minutes the Wings were nice and crispy.............Just the way I like 'em!



Glazed them with the first batch of Sauce, and called the family down to share..................They were gone in no time!

Mmmmmmmm..................Glazed.



I mixed up a small batch of "Bee-Sting" Wings with the addition of some hot-wing sauce in with the honey-garlic mixture, just for me.



They were quite tasty!


The rest of the wings I split into a batch of Dry-Rubbed, with some KC-BBQ rub with some Montreal-Chicken and some Italian Seasoning, and some with Frank's Red-Hot on them.

I brought a couple small plates of fresh Wings over to my next-door neighbor to share, and he thanked me and handed me a couple Beers in exchange.................I love our relationship with each other! That's the way it should be!

I sat down and enjoyed the rest of the three different flavors of Wings with a nice mild Asian-Beer..................Excellent!

Brother in law and his wife came over, made this one as a joke (there were two charcuterie boards, this one was a joke), it was actually pretty good. Sometimes simple is best.

My Friend Cap'n Ron has been out touring on his bike.
This past week he's been in Louisiana and Arkansas, and has sent me some pictures of his lunch-stops involving Catfish..................

This got me craving some, so I had to stop at the grocery-store on my way home from work and buy some!



I got 6 large Filets.
I split up 4 of them into smaller pieces, and kept two for later this weekend (I'll probably smoke those in the Traeger)





First a "wash" in a bowl with a mixture of eggs and milk.
Then into the seasoned Corn Meal, Flour, and Crumb mixture...............



Then into the Cast-iron skillet of Canola-Oil.
I tried to keep the oil temp around 350 degrees F.



They turned out excellent, and were exactly what I was craving!



My Wife made a Fettuccini-Casserole.
This went excellent as a side-dish.



I even had some leftover Catfish with some Eggs for breakfast this morning!

 

[Sierra1]

Hmmmm. I wonder if you could cook the fish in an air fryer.

 

[thughes317]

No hush puppies with your catfish? Blasphemy!!!

 

[EricV]

For catfish I just go to the local gas stations around here. They can't toast bread, but they deep fry just about anything.

 

[Sierra1]

. . . . but they deep fry just about anything.

Each year at the Texas State Fair, there's always a new deep fried "something". IE: Twinkies, ice cream, etc.

I once watched a guy eating a deep fried stick of butter at the Utah State Fair. I'll take a pass on that and go find the guy doing sausage and peppers.

I do miss the grilled oysters with parm/lemon pepper/butter right off the grill that I used to get at Wine and Seafood festivals on the Oregon Coast. Firm, not slimy and delicious in the way that makes you just get back in line while you eat the first dozen so you can get another dozen. Although the deep fried alligator tail here is pretty good too.

I imagine you could.............I didn't attempt it cause I wanted the deep-fried flavor
