Been there, bro.  Sometimes you're lucky, and you saved some leftover parmesan packs from that pizza order back in 2018, so you can sprinkle those on your meal for flavor.

I still have several packets of Church's spicy sprinkle that have to be pushing 7-8 yrs old I use every so often.

We've all been there, gentle eater.

Home alone tonight so I made do. Had a bit of chili left over. Mixed in some refried beans. Put on some tortillas from Mi Tradicion. Found an old Low Key Loki from Batch Brewing in the back of the beverage fridge. It’s been a good night so far.

[Steel Shank 9563]

Baked potato, the aforementioned taco meat and beans. Cheese under the meat and beans acting not as a hinge, but more of a stage for the meat and beans to do their dance upon.

Decided to run this back again tonight. Started eating on it but then decided to fashion a breathtaking replica of the Astrodome in honor of the Astros.

Have a few fond memories under that chili dome.

I call this ham tortilla mustard

Have I made several of this sort of thing, wrapped them in a piece of saran or foil, and shoved it in the pocket of my game vest for a snack while dove hunting?  Oh yes indeed.

[Cheeseweasel 26443]

Tortilla should be the official bread of the Shank thread.

I'll tell you what isn't the official bread of the Shank thread. A fucking french boule.

While it is a finominole use of available material, a dill pickle spear in the middle would take it to the next level.

I can loan you a few bucks next time so you can grab a McRib and not eat your elderly mother’s food. Poor lady.

Apparently it’s national sammich day. So I made one.

I'm completely fixated on the knife. There's nothing going on here foodwise that requires a knife. Why the hell is it even there? I feel like it's just looking back at me like Dinero in Taxi Driver, "You looking at me?" There's an impending sense of violence, or at the very least the threat of. And I can't ignore the internal tension going on -- a sharp and potentially lethal instrument with its defined lines juxtaposed with the haphazard mustard glob precariously perched upon its round, hammy, doughy substrate.

What does it all mean? Perhaps I am the knife. Sharp, vengeful, full of rage from the frustration of being on the cutting board but not being able to fulfill my destiny. So damn close but no action. Like a prize fighter sitting in an empty ring without a foe. A monument to anticipation and ultimately disappointment and letdown. A destiny unfulfilled. The two weeks before the Superbowl but with no game. Watching porn but not being able to jerk it.

Or maybe I'm the mustard? Unceremoniously squirt shot from the bottle, sloppily finding a peaceful landing in a disorganized mess on an old piece of ham. Comfortable, but chaotic. Safe, satisfied, without a care. Aimlessly shamelessly blamelessly waiting for whatever comes next. Doomed to fate as if free will were ever an option. Roll me up, take a bite, chew me up, swallow me whole, puke me back up, whatever.

My truck crapped out in Brady yesterday. Left it there to get fixed (and it was, hallelujah). Had to get shuttled back to town to pick it up, then gassed up, and discovered that the Yes! mart has a new snack affiliate…



A pleasant selection to make the drive back to the ranch happy. They also had fried gizzards. I may get those for the drive home tomorrow.

[Texzilla58 4798]

It’s like an aerosol cheese napoleon. The tuxedo shirt ruffle flourish adds incredible sophistication. Those Ritz puffy cracker things are addictive and superior to the more mundane original. I expect a Smirnoff Ice Green Apple as the perfect accompaniment.

Needed snacks on the drive back from deer hunting: gizzards, and some sort of fried Buffalo chicken cheese things (sometimes, you need to roll the dice at the gas station food warmer)…



Gizzards were great. Buffalo things were meh.

There is a life lesson there.

If it’s “always stick with the gizzards,” I’m with you.

But that only applies if they don't have fried chicken livers equally available.  YMMV.

Also, the mixed innards boat -- livers and gizzards (and man, if anyplace did fried chicken hearts, I would pronounce the proprietor king of the whole earth) -- with gravy for dipping is a perfect choice.

While I think we can all debate the ins and outs of caloric ecstasy.  But I think we can all (perhaps) agree on one thing.

I like that someone negged the mention of smirnoff ice. This is a place of principles and standards.

ixnay on the izzardsgay. They make my teeth hurt or I would eat them often. Livers and hearts, on the other hand, are a regular part of my lunches. Our local IGA deli does hearts occasionally and will call me when they do.
