It has allowed me to "vent" at certain times and take my mind off of negativity that encroaches into my life throughout my week to week life. It means so much to me my good sir!
There is an amazing group of fellers here on this forum.
And i HONESTLY pray DAILY, that each and EVERY single one of you are takin care of, and are at peace, each and every single day! I truly mean this!
I am reminded of this every time i post in here, as it starts me right at the beginning of this thread each time i post. Right where YOU started it.
And for that, I thank you sincerely my brother.
1 Thessalonians 1:2: "We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers"....ALWAYS!
Thank you so much sir!

Today I harvested an ingredient I'll use for a lot of things to eat. That would be the Bhut Jolokia or better known as the Ghost pepper. I grew Carolina Reapers the last two summers and they did ok but were limited as to how many I got off one plant. This year I tried the Ghost pepper and wow! my plant is going nuts. I dry the peppers and grind to a fine powder to use as an additive to dishes like chili, wing sauce, jerky seasoning etc. Yep, they are hot, but they go a long way, and I love the heat as long as I'm careful. I'm planning on doing up some hot honey this year. My son makes jerky quite a bit and he wants some powder for his cooking. What you see in the picture is the ripe ones and there are this many if not more that are still green.
Heck yea sir!
I love hot honey. Keep a bottle of Mike's hot honey and extra hot honey in stock always. I use it often in my jerky marinades and atop pizzas.
I've never made it up to the reaper though.
I have ruined many chili dishes using chocolate bhutlahs LOL. My neighbor is a pepper growing mad man. He grows reapers, bhutlahs, and habaneros every year.
I believe it torches the bad right out of ya!

Many years ago I did Clambakes for company picnics, family gatherings, etc.
Had a weekend where my Clam bill was almost $8-9,000.
Only 50 count this time
…..We did some steamed Little Neck clams as an appetizer this afternoon. Only kind of clam to have.
Delicious.

Now that would be good in the baste for ribs. Some hot honey.
That is mind boggling. I ain't had good clams or mussels in quite some time.
I got a recipe from my pops for a clam or mussel soup.
Not really having a way of getting either fresh right around me, ended up aquiring some frozen mussels a while back just so we could try it. Soup was amazing, frozen Kroger mussels....no so much LOL
The recipe involved Saffron, the most expensive spice BY FAR in my collection. Had no idea.
The fam has requested breakfast burritos with country potatoes this evening stay tuned.........Our chickens are molting right now, actually had to buy eggs for the first time in a while.
Found out recently that buying the high end dog food is MORE expensive than buying cheap hotdogs, eggs, ground beef, and feeding leftover chicken etc.
So since I retired, I cook or reheat the dogs breakfast. My wife adds nutrition that they need. Like turmeric, cinnamon, etc.
We always have dry Pedigree on hand for them to munch on.
Today, it was leftover chicken breasts and fried green beans.... for the pups.
Max and Buttercup are livin' the good life. Lol

That's awesome right there.
I've often considered making meals for our four legged family members. Our lab will eat anything. But out GSD has the most sensitive stomach of any dog i've ever had.
She actually has loud amounts of gas OFTEN. The only thing that doesn't upset her stomach is the $16 bag of kibbles and bits. But i still figure that isn't the best food for her.
I have a dog food plant that is about 12-15 miles from the house. The smell that place produces is absolutely foul.
When the wind is just right, I can actually smell it from our deck. Quite unreal.
My grocery bill stays quite high with my cooking addiction and feeding our youngins that i haven't quite found a cost effective way of properly feeding our pups.
Might need to try your route.

A friend of mine makes homemade dog food for their pooches.
His wife makes it up monthly in the crock pot and freezes individual meals.
It's brown rice, eggs, shredded chicken, peas, carrots, and dog friendly seasons for flavor. I'm sure there is probably some chicken stock or beef stock used as well.
It smelled really good when she was making it, and peaked my curiosity. We spend $200 one month and $250 the next month for food for our German shepherd since she has a sensitive stomach.
The food she gets is very similar to what my buddies wife makes up. So..... I really need to talk to his wife and get the recipe the next time I'm over at their place and give it a try.
I never calculated it exactly. but $200 and $250 a month for the pooches chow
is a bit steep. I found out what my wife was spending on pooch chow. It was close to that figure and more.
The Dollar store for hot dogs and the local market for ground beef on sale.
My wife researched dog nutrition, and we cook it up.

Thank you for the recommendation sir!
I will definitely look for that next weekend when I'm out.
If you do get that recipe, and don't mind sharing, i'd love to see how i could incorporate that into my grocery budget.
You got me curious on what seasonings are dog friendly. Never thought about that before.
Alrighty.......its go time boys!
Breakfast burritos chocked full of egg, ground sausage (spicy for me and the boy), hashbrowns, sauteed onions & red peppers, avocado, chives, tomatoes, salsa, and WAY too much cheese. Served with a side of roasted country potatoes.
16 burritos later (we love to have leftovers throughout the week)..... everybody is satisfied and powering down for the night.
But not after a round of oreo brownies I made earlier....
standard brownie ingredients with the addition of a fair amount of espresso powder and strong black coffee.... these dudes were DEADLY LOL!
Hope all y'all had a great saturday! Time to shut it down for the night....

Gypsy is on a special diet. Super sensitive stomach. The canned dog food is about $4.50 a can, and she gets 2 cans of dog food a day plus a cup of kibble.
The canned dog food is right at $200 for a 4 week supply, and the kibble is $50 for an 8 week supply.
That's why i'm gonna ask my friends wife for her recipe for the dog food. The stuff she makes up is pretty darn close to the chicken and veggie dog food that gypsy gets now. Including the peas, carrots and rice.

I want to say rosemary and thyme.... but don't hold me to that.
