Damn, I could eat breakfast there everyday if they'd just throw some muscadine jelly up on the menu, too.

ETA: Gonna need some mayhaw jelly and red-eye gravy up there, too.

It looks even better on TV.  There is a restaurant in Raleigh that does nothing but biscuits but they were always open at 6 and closed by 2, so I never got to go there.

Actually last night, and lunch today...homemade pizza.  I was gonna put pepperoni on it, but they went bad, so I had to settle for pancetta and mushrooms.  Memo to self--12 minutes at 450 degrees isn't enough.  Try 475 for crisper crust.

Guy Fieri has done a cookbook, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, with recipes from the different restaurants. I haven't seen it in the stores, but would like to get it. I'm waiting for it to show up at Sam's and be affordable.  :-)

I've cribbed a couple good recipes just from watching the show.  One of them was for carne asada and another was for a really thick chilli where you mix ground beef in water to make a meat slurry as a base.

I love his shows and his recipes.  An aside:  The sweatband thing?  He started that when he competed in the Next Food Network Star show.  He wears one all the time on TV as it is his special message to his son, that he loves him and is thinking of him when he is not at home. 

I would love to take a Diners, Drive In's and Dives road trip, but I doubt I could survive it.

You have to wonder what his cholesterol is like. He's probably one of those people who can eat horribly bad stuff and still have really low cholesterol.

I have noticed that he rarely eats sweet stuff though. You just know that some of these places have to have fabulous pies, cakes, etc.

I'm thinking Teriyaki Game Hens. The wife bought some (.99 ea at the Gross Out, (Grocery Outlet) and I know she loves them soaked in "sauce" and done on the grill.

Well, I'm headed to town now (circa 4:30 p.m. central time, 3:30 p.m. mountain time), to attend a "cream can feed," a fund-raiser for the library.

I have no idea what a "cream can feed" is, but I suppose I'm going to learn shortly.

So, what was it?  I've never heard of one!



Dinner yesterday for us was McDonalds, scarfed down between weight training and the baseball game.  Another 2 games tonight, but at least no weight training, so I should be able to have something ready to go when they get home from school...not sure what yet, though.

Sausages, potatoes, and corn on the cob.

I found out the name comes from the old pioneer days (in Nebraska, "pioneer" = circa 1880-1910) when large cooking utensils were scarce, if they could be had at all, and some event demanded a big feed.

One lined the inside of a dairy cream can with sweet corn, and putting sausages and potatoes in the center, brewed the whole bit over a fire.

It was done this way because nobody had big pots and kettles.

I had the corn-on-the-cob and a cornmeal muffin.

Navy bean soup with a ham hock.  In the crock pot since early am. 

I want to make some homemade hot chocolate, but need to find a good recipe.

Saute diced onions, sliced mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil, til onions are soft. Add a can of undrained diced tomatoes. Add about a tsp of sugar, some basil, salt and pepper to taste. Cook on med-low for about 5 minutes.

You can add capers if you want, M doesn't like them so I don't add them.

It's sort of a bastardized Pomodoro sauce.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....
