I'll be right over.
 
Probably get something delivered from Kelley's Country Cooking just up the road. Just me and Mom these days and neither of us wants to cook a big meal. They have a extremely good grilled catfish dinner with 3 veggies that I have not had in a while. Or, I could go for their breakfast tacos that are actually breakfast burritos. Two of them with a large side of hash browns would make a couple big meals if I pull the farm fresh eggs out of the fridge that I got from a work mate earlier this week. Two or three eggs over easy on top of the hash browns with a side of maple syrup breakfast sausages would work as a second breakfast out of that meal.
 
First I'm going to get in my jet, drop by everyone's house & sample what everyone is having! I've gained 5 pounds just reading.

Going to be a quiet day, just wife & I. We are going to have homemade tacos.
 
Fried crappie here maybe a few catfish if I catch some in the morning. Wife may balk on fish since I've cooked it 3 times in the past week but I tell her you can't beat them fresh crappie the ain't gonna bite this good till winter again.
 
Lamb in the oven. Seasoned with pockets filled with olives/fresh garlic/bacon plugs. Pepper and fresh rosemary on top. Will cook to rare in middle.
 
well the brined & injected turkey has been in the oven for an hour.. house smells amazing... image is a before shot.... and after shot.. nap time now

I got overruled on the Hot Pockets. The boys want me to order burrito boats, soft tacos and tortilla chips with salsa from Taco Casa.

As I mentioned in another thread...the weather has allowed me to open the windows. So, I have that going for me.

Which is nice.
 
Over the weekend I smoked five racks of ribs in my Orion. We had ribs, potato salad, cucumber salad and hot rolls. I used a mix of mesquite and apple wood - I'll be tasting smoke for the next few days! :)
