    You think those are the only three ingredients he uses? If you even looked at the photo you posted you’d know you’re wrong.

     

    My point is that Valentina's seems to have left out a couple of those ingredients.  Pale, pink pintos are no bueno.

    I have no idea who Jane Ellen Bryant is, and I certainly don't know if she can write for shit (which ultimately doesn't matter all THAT much), but if covering somebody's song with this backing band isn't a few legs up then I don't know what is:

    David Grissom

    Cindy Cashdollar

    Yoggie Musgrove

    Brannen Temple

    Joel Guzman

    Sarah Sharp

    Malford Milligan

    That is a great line-up!  Her Road to Austin single is the only cover I've ever seen her do.

    Beans look weak.  Comino, black pepper and and chili powder.  How do it work?

    Bloody Mary's.  They will come with a beer chaser.  People outside of the Upper Midwest don't seem to understand the brilliance of this.

    Brats.  Duh.

     

    Truth.  Had a Bloody Mary with a beer chaser.  Ended up pouring some of it into my drink like a Michelada.  Folks looked at me like a guy with two heads.  Also ordered some steamed mussels -- of course the mussels were steamed with brats!

    Dinner was at Carnevor.  Solid place.  Loved bar-hopping on Brady Street.  Downtown Milwaukee is a pretty cool place.

    Mader's is pretty authentic/old-school and considered a favorite in Milwaukee.  I'd also think long and hard about ditching a 2.5 hr. dinner and taking everybody to a 2.5 hr brewers game.  

    Thanks.  Another friend mentioned Mader's.  I looked at the menu -- People in WI must be huge!  How does anybody eat that much food?

    If you're a child of the 70's, then any vegetables were disgusting.

    It was probably the mid- to late-80's before logistics and trade got to the point where you got a significant amount  of fresh produce in grocery stores.  Before that, the produce aisle was just that: one aisle.  And it was probably half taken up by apples, oranges, bananas, and heads of iceberg lettuce.  The rest of it was onions and potatoes and a few other things that might be in season (e.g., strawberries or grapes or cherries, depending on the time of year).  As far as vegetables go--if you wanted anything much more exotic than squash or carrots, you were fresh out of luck.

    The only brussels sprouts or asparagus or green beans on offer were usually either canned or frozen.  And there's a limited set of techniques you can use with canned or frozen vegetables.  So yeah--boiled frozen brussels sprouts were common in my house.  Fucking canned peas--we had that shit at least twice a week.

    I love vegetables now.  Asparagus on the grill; brussels sprouts any number of ways; sugar snap peas with just a touch of salt--those are all great.  But none of that fresh shit was available when I was a kid.

    Roger all this.  Canned asparagus and overcooked frozen brussel sprouts were traumatic meal events.  Love them fresh and properly cooked nowadays.  I even love liver in all forms -- properly cooked, especially as a nice pate with brandy and peppercorns.

    The one thing I've never gotten over is oatmeal.  I'd go hungry before I'd eat it as a kid.  Some things never change.
