Just a meander

It's going to be near 90 the next three days with rain on Sunday (UGH!)

I am not a summer person.  Sun burn, biting flies, sweat, et al, hold no draw on me.  You will more likely find me out on a fine winter day (sunshine mid 20's) then any summer day.  Temperatures ranging to 80 with low humidity are tolerable to pleasant, but above that, forget it.

How bout' them Packers, or how bout' them football players period.  The Billionaires are happy the multimillionaires are happy, and now we can look forward to another year of high priced entertainment.

It was disappointing last night when the NFL network canceled live CFL football (Thurs. 7pm) to talk about the multimillionaires new contracts.  The CFL isn't great football, but it does satisfy a certain hunger.

Here is a recipe I tried yesterday.  I scored it a "C" Bonnie scored it a "B".  It came off the top of my head.  It tasted better there then on my plate, but maybe it will give you some inspiration:

I'm going to try this today (yesterday). Make a "Mexican" meat loaf. Diced tomatoes (canned) to which I added crushed Serrano, Ancho and sweet pepper (red and green) stuff I dried myself. I am adding 2-3 tablespoons of Southern BBQ spice and 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning (both from C2C), to two pounds of Venison/Beef burger. Smoke it with mesquite. Stand by for side.

 My side will be a thick polenta mixed with leftover creamed corn, chilled to form a loaf. I will slice it, egg wash it, flour(masa harina) repeat then dip it in crushed Nachos, and deep fried. I'm thinking a salad, but maybe shredded lettuce, cheese and salsa on top of the meat loaf (I did the latter).

It was okay.

See Ya later
