As a youngster, the DeRuyter Firemen’s Field Days was a summer staple. It was after haying was done and before school started.
One of the highlights were the Foot-long Texas Hots from the Fireman’s booth. The Tilt-A-Whirl was a favorite too....
I loved those things, and the last time I had a Texas Hot there was almost 40 years ago. A Texas Hot around here is a hot dog with a spicy chili sauce. There’s many variants across the country
Decided to try making my own sauce.
Getting pretty close to what I remember as a kid....
If there were such a thing as smell-a-internet....

What's the difference between a southern zoo and a northern zoo?
A southern zoo has a description of the animal on the front of the cage along with... "a recipe."

I'm always envious at the shrimp you guys have easy access to (except when there are hurricanes), but do you grow asparagus in October down there?
Sheep, no we grow asparagus this time of year, but the store does 
. I’m weird when it comes to asparagus, I only like the real thin stalks so I only get it at certain times.

I have always liked the thin ones better too. Finally started a bed 3 years ago, and had enough to pick this spring. Most were really thick, but right out of the ground they are tender and crisp. My favorite preparation was sliced on the diagonal and sauteed in butter with onions. I think I read that the pencil thin stalks were from male plants or something like that. Seemed like there was a mixture in the bed so it isn't an age thing. I am growing the purple variety and the flavor is excellent, but only there for a month in the spring....Sheep, no we grow asparagus this time of year, but the store does

I use to have a bed of Mary Washington plants ( a very old verity) planted about 30 roots and like you Sheepfarmer 3 years later they started to produce it got to the point we have beau coupe in the freezer and was giving them away. And then one very cold snowy winter, the deer dug up all the strawberry roots and ate them, and then moved to the raised bed, and Mary Washington was no more.
One way we did them was a butter balsamic bake. About a pound of stocks, 2 or 3 table spoons of butter, a table spoon or soy sauce and a table spoon of balsamic vinegar, heat the oven to 450 and cooking spray on a cookie sheet, salt and pepper the stocks, melt the butter and mix inthe other stuff. Then pop the stocks inthe oven for 10 or 12 min or untill they are tender, take out and pour the mix over them,,, not to bad ,, and they are pretty good with pork!

I like the thick asparagus. Just seems more tender to me.
30 years ago our landlady had a nice asparagus bed, and we were BEGGED to take some daily in the spring. Loved those thick, fresh ones.

Yesterday I noticed my Coonass sawmilling customer munching on something...
Dried Shrimp. Maybe I'm sheltered but I had never heard of such. They are tiny and the largest are no more than quarter size and most were dime size. They have a strong shrimp/fishy smell and are kinda chewy. He said they little zip bag was $50 worth.

I was remiss; pork tenderloins with ethyl mercaptan, fresh rosemary and garlic, along with fixings. Roasted the taters and cauliflower in the oven with a little rosemary, parsley and garlic too.
Trivia question for anyone, but Magic might have an advantage; what’s the table made of? Clue, North American hardwood, and it’s natural color.
