I’m cooking some wonderful, garlicky, greasy Brazil sausage with fresh tomatoes, zuchinni, potatoes, garlic, bell pepper, and onion. I added some oregano. I don’t have a clue what I’m doing but it just sounded like it would taste good.
What are Brazil sausages? I don’t think I’ve ever come across them…
I don’t know but they are good. A meat company out of Mexico City called Montreal makes them. Their meat is always good and I picked some up only because I was curious. They are short and fat with an almost white color and full of garlic. I ate the last package just grilled, so thought I would try another way. My stew turned out to be very tasty. I try new things that look interesting because the food here is very simple and I get so tired of beans and tortillas.
Hey, you could make a fortune selling grilled sausage sandwiches! I know someone in Sydney doing just that, and shrimp sandwiches as well, he’s cleaning out!
I just got in from work…had surprisingly good Mexican take-out for lunch - tacost al carbon, with real carbonized steak strips in hand-made flour tortillas. With a little fresh pico de gallo, they were almst as good as Mexico City street tacos!
That is one of my favorites. There is a place down the street that serves a gringa taco. It is a huge flour tortilla stuffed with meat and cheese. Add your own condiments. I usually stuff mine with beans, pico de gallo, cabbage, onions and cilantro. Best deal in town for less than a dollar fifty.
God, you get lunch? In my neck of the woods we grab whatever left in the refrigerator and work out the logistics later.
Gigantic salad with anchovies, ground flaxseed, peas (love peas!), a mountain of lettuce, pressed garlic and everything else I could throw on the plate.
Preceded by a big slab of buffalo chuck roast.
What is the “preceded crap? I am surprised it is not written in teeny fonts.
I dunno. Felt like using preceded.
Oh biscuit,
I’m glad you are OK after last night’s dastardly weather.
It’s not pretty here.
I’m having some pretty strange thoughts about it, though, given the town that was wiped off the face of the map is also a Superfund site whose children have siffered the effects of lead poisoning for several generations now — a town which I’ve wondered why any person with a lick of sense would stay in for any reason.
Lots of guilt over those thoughts.
I am so sorry. I had lots of guilty thoughts living in Dallas and Austin for many years. Feeling so lucky that it wasn’t MY house that was torn to bits, or MY kids sucked up in the funnel, or MY parents who lost everything-even the grass was scrapped clean. It is so horrible. No-one has a storm shelter anymore or knows how to live in a place with really bad storms. Everyone just doesn’t think anything could happen. AND what’s up with people in OK and TX and AK still buying into the trailer thing? Why buy a “manufactured house” and know that you are toast in a few years? I never understood that. I’d rather live in a small apartment in a three story complex instead of a trailer on the prairie in OK.
I am so angry because I’ve been thru three tornados. I’ve seen someone drop out of the sky bloody and dying. My house in Austin had hail damage twice. My Mom in Dallas lost her roof three times in three years and her insurance was cancelled after paying the bastards for forty years with no claims!
I am with you. I finally got out of there no matter what the cost. It was just not worth it staying .
Sorry for the rant but I know, I know.
You’re a Texan? From Dallas and Austin???
So’s half my family. How could I have missed that?
Hey, yes. Grew up in Dallas, lived in Richardson, moved to Austin for 10 years. My family is mostly from Dallas and Denison if you know where that is.
One of the really cool things about Denison is: a Doctor Munson sent to France in the late 1800’s for some wine grape starts. He thought growing his own wine after retirement would be a great hobby. Well, the story goes that the particular varietal he had was blighted in France and to restart it in France, they sent to the good doctor for a few starts! Munsons are still in Denison today.
Hey, don’t you go posting “and followed by”! Keep up the good & lean work.
My sweetie is putting together the leftover Pud Thai that I made Friday. I am documenting the whole thing and will have a recipe for you all tomorrow. It was so good and really so simple. I just made it obtainable to most in the US if you are near an Asian Grocery. Most people are, or there is always the internet tubes! Only one ingredient that is out of the norm.
The very best things in the world are the simplest.
Oh, you know it baby. Making love, good food with good friends and a cozy place to sleep. “Who could ask for anything more, who could ask for anything more.” (song-which one?)
Good luck this weekend in Arkansas. Mrs. Translator, and all three boys are safe and well. I am sad to say that not the case for many other folks. They are in my thoughts. Warmest regards, Doc.
