Smartie's Sports Bar & Grill #24

I'll teach you the one legged tango.

 

HI SMW! I've been meaning to come by and say hello to you.
Consider it done lol

 

What Lasts.? No ... really.I'd like to know.Maybe the Sun.
Oh ! I get it.This Thread.
Yeah,you have a point.

 

Nope, I mean the cowboys winning streak. LOL

 

Hello to you too, MC! Nice of you to stop by... come back when you can stay longer!

 

Good morning, fans of Moanday! I see Foolie stopped by to whine... Dallas got lots of rain last night and the Cowboys won!!! WOO HOO! Gonna be a great week!

 

Oh, so the rest of us are peons? No need to say hi to us, even though smartie makes us do all the drinking and whatever else needs to be done 'round here?



Someone is in doo doo now.

Oh yeah, good morning, and go boyz.

 

yeah they got lucky again. lol

But you take a team like Green Bay. Now there's a team to be reckoned with. lol

 

:

How 'bout them Cowboys!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That game wore me out, and I was already pretty well worn out from keeping grandson all night! I'm glad Romo's getting worried about his job! He showed up and played better with a broken rib than not!

Morning y'all.....................

 

Where's da breakfast bar???

 

Booze for breakfast this morning. Just one of those days...

​

 

It's going to be a looooooong season for us Colts fans I fear.

Congrats to the Cowboys and the Jets. Woo! Here's hoping you can stop the juggernaut that the Patriots are likely to become.


I was getting worried about Foolie, Smartie, hadn't seen him in awhile.

Glad Texas finally got some rain, and glad everyone had a good weekend.

Not glad it's Monday again. Boo hisss!!!! *slams some whiskey*

 

Ditto that boo hiss for Monday! I lost some weekend somewhere in there.....

 

Hiya Mary!! Awwww, foolie doesn't like us anymore. At least he doesn't like ME anymore. Not sure why... guess he's got more friends than he needs. His choice.

One gal said this morning she was gonna have to start doublin up on her blood pressure medicine if the 'boys keep this up. Could stroke out during one of these close games!!

Rain was great...except the whole block lost power on Fri nite and had to sit in the dark for 3-1/2 hrs. Not fun, but at least it was cool in the rain!

 

Me too, g/f. Went by way too fast, didn't it?

 

Morning all. Anybody want some of this 30 degree weather I am having right now. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

 

It sure did! I need about another 12 hours of sleep. We had rain all weekend, which was awesome.

 

Morning, OT! Nope, you can still keep that 30 degree weather for now. I'm just fine with the temps we have.

 

Hey, this is great weather here at 30 degrees. All we wear now is a light jacket. Remember that up here in the mountains -20 below is nothing new and I have seen 38 below here. Now that's getting to be a little to cold.

 

Good mornin' everybody!

A wonderful weekend for me! Finally finished painting the upstairs bedroom that I use as my "man cave". I'm not really thrilled about the color my wife picked out, she calls it "Olive Green" - to me it looks like Army green. Oh well, I guess it's better than Battleship Grey!

Went to a church barbecue this weekend, and impressed the congregation with how well this Yankee can grill! Cooked some salsiccia (Italian sausage) on the grill, then when they were almost done, I put them in a mixture of vegetable broth, tomato paste, onions, garlic, Roma tomatoes, bell peppers, and Anaheim peppers that I had simmering on the edge of the grill. I let the salsiccia stew in the mix for half-hour or so, and served them up - put one on a bun, and scoop a little of the vegetables on top.

Little old ladies who had never had these before were complimenting me on how tasty and juicy they were - and I think they meant it because several of them asked for my recipe!

Next time I think I'll grill genuine St. Louis-style barbecued pork steaks - except I'll have to find something to substitute for beer... I don't want to offend the Baptists!

 

Good lord, SC, if'n you warn't already married, I'd be chasing you down. A man who can cook??? My dream man!!!


Sounds like it was a great time. The sausage stew sounds amazing!!!

 

You'd be mighty busy, commuting from AR to MS, Mary. Better take your vitamins.

 

When I was in my teens, Dad owned a restaurant, and I was the dishwasher - a job that I hated with an all-encompassing passion! I soon figured out that the only way I'd ever get out of dishwashing was to learn to do something else. I didn't want to wait tables, so... I learned to cook, and I've enjoyed it ever since.

The sausage stew is nothing new, it's just a way to keep the salsiccia from drying out and becoming hard and chewy on the grill. If I was going to grill hamburgers for an outdoor picnic - work, church, Cub Scouts, etc. - and I was using pre-made burger patties, I'd probably put them in something like beef broth, with maybe a little Liquid Smoke or some BBQ sauce, maybe add in an onion or two.

Actually, it's probably just a variation on the St. Louis-style grilled pork steaks recipe - cook them almost all the way, then put them in a pan with BBQ sauce and beer, and let them simmer until the meat is almost falling apart. The pork soaks up the BBQ sauce, and the liquid makes them stay nice and tender.

Tonight is going to be interesting - I persuaded my wife to cook a beef roast, and I'm making cornbread muffins. But... instead of adding green chili peppers or jalapeno peppers, I bought a couple of serrano peppers to add to the muffin mix. I'm afraid the serrano peppers might be too hot, we shall see...

If the family goes runnin' out of the kitchen screaming like Godzilla, then I'll know it wasn't a good idea!

 

It all sounds amazingly good to me, SC! Especially the pork steaks! MMmMMmmm!!! I haven't had a pork steak in forever!


I bet the corn muffins turn out AMAZING!

 

For regularly cooked meals like that, I might be willing to try it!
