Not even lying, this was the first time I realized today is Friday.

How many years have you been alive?

I am thinking on the pit with some wood chunks for smoke, then wrap in foil and oven it low and slow - and then delicious shredded beef tocoes!!!

done. what temp, 150?

also threw one in the slow cooker so that if i fork them up, one may be less so.

Clearing out the freezer... tonight was crawfish stew. The pack looked a little light and so I looked in the freezer again and found some sacalait fillets as well... Threw them in the black iron pot with the rest of the goods... pretty damn tasty!

Dixie Voodoo was a perfect compliment to the dark roux...

Yeah, Lenten Fridays suck.

 

[zeetes]

hell yeah. krispy treats are the bomb:

So when you move away from Louisiana and don't get to just come home whenever you want - your chances to eat real boiled crawfish get very slim. You learn when the proper crawfish boils are in your area and you mark those damn things on your calendar a year in advance. I usually get about two or three chances every year . . . if I'm lucky. Sometimes I get home in the spring but often I don't, so those local boils are a big deal.

This year? Canceled. So I had to take matters into my own hands. The weather is awesome so I ordered 20 pounds live from Louisiana Crawfish Company in Natchitoches - they're coming by FedEx tomorrow. It's actually surprisingly reasonable - you get 20 pounds, live in proper shipping (insulated cooler - and guaranteed), plus two pounds of boil for $109, shipping included.

I'm jonesing. I refresh the FedEx about once an hour to see where the package is.

Sorry just saw this, I would do 225 for about 3hrs, then test to see if it is falling apart tender. But 150 will work for a few more hrs i think

I would so do this, but at the condo I live in, there's no practical place to boil em. We have a gas stove, but idk if doing them inside is possible. I hate not having a house sometimes.

Rained and stormed like crazy yesterday, so I went and got 12lbs of crawfish, set up lawn chairs and a cooler full of beer in the garage, and had a party with the wife and kid. Was a great time. Still kinda small crawfish - could only find them at one place. Don't care, had beer and crawfish.

I have managed to stock up five boxes spaghetti and have tons of meatballs in the freezer. In constant search of sauce. I think I need to get a really good homemade recipe. I know I’ve seen San Marzano recommended if you go canned tomatoes. Are fresh ones good enough yet to try?

Canned San Marzanps are better for sauce than fresh. Trust me.

Oh, and make a huge batch and freeze it in portions. It's cheap, easy to do and well worth the effort.

 

[dtc]

Ugh peas.

Not only, but they look canned. Eegads.

Fusing @Oye and I together would yield a superhuman the likes of which this world has never seen.

I never would have thought of freezing sauce. Thanks
