LedFTed 1,127 Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Well;; i been using that vitamin C powder for a while.. have to fight off the cold season, so to speak.. any way it mixes with orange juice very well. i dont like strait orange juice, so i mix it. was water, then got to sweet tea... then i added my favorite soft drink instead, Canada Dry, bless those Canadian's, 🙂,... i finally found something, to mix my J.B. Cinnamon,[fire] with, that taste good to me. at least two if not all three, OJ, ST,CD... this evening its canada dry, an sweet tea. [my sweet tea only has 3/4 a cup of brown sugar per gallon].. i also use BIGELOW tea.... i forgot, i add ice. 😀 Cinnamon is good for blood pressure..

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 8, 2022 Meatballs and meat sauce , with baked mac and cheese coming Think I told this story before , really takes me back , my Dad and Grandfather had a friend Joe Lopinto , he was a motorcycle sheriff in Jefferson Parish where his Grandson is now the head sheriff , Joe lost his leg in a motorcycle wreck and limped around with his prosthetic , Joe had a 40 arpents farm ( land measurement in the old days , a little larger than an acre ) along the lower Mississippi River in Historic Braithwaite and his brother had 40 next to it , greatest rabbit hunting I ever been on , hunting rabbit there is a story in itself to tell , we went down to his farm almost every weekend and would hunt and fish , help out with chores and eat real good , he was Italian and could cook well , his brother was business agent of the Union I was in , he was also my neighbor and my number one fishing mentor and the other brother owned a very good old school restaurant , so Joe's spaghetti was unbelievably good , I can remember him morning on it at daylight , chopping seasonings , he used a crayfish boiling pot and made a 5 gallon or more size pot full every Saturday , the meat was potluck , meatballs rabbit , squirrel , sausage , pork chops , boiled eggs , duck , there wa s no telling what you would come up with , I remember a time when nutria ( water rabbit , LOL ) was in there ---- so the story is Meril was a really cool guy we worked with , he had one eye made of glass from an accident he had , and when he looked around , one went each way and him being so crazy funny made it hard to not laugh around him , so Meril pulls up at the farm while we all sitting at the table drinking coffee , we were just talking about the squirrel that Joe raised when it fell out the tree when it was a baby and lived in the pecan tree right out the window , ten we hear , BAM , Meril shot the squirrel and came walking into the backdoor with the squirrel hanging by the tail saying I got something for the pot , Joe came undone on him , LOL So the rabbit hunting story , the fields would grow over with briar bushes ( blackberry ) , and the rabbits were thick , so during the winter they would cut the grass with a bush hog , an acre at a time , cut around in a square then surround the area with guns , keep cutting around and the rabbits would start running out with every pass more and more , my Dad taught me never get on Merrill's right side , remember he had one eye , merril shot Joe's plastic leg all up , then hit the good one , should have heard that , we had some good times , shoot rabbits by the hundreds 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had 30 acres north of Lufkin Texas. I had a pond built and the grass would grow 6 or 7 feet tall behind the dam. While mowing the rats would cluster up in the rapidly reducing tall grass. I'd sic my dog on them.......he loved it! Had friend over once with a 22 rifle..........he loved it too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 3, 2022 Wow , I am kind of hung over from yesterday , boiled crayfish , fried back strap , potato salad , bake mac , hot tamales , Coors Lite , BudLite and Crown Royal Green Apple for dessert ---- we let the weatherman screw us up but not going riding , he was forecasting rain , which I could have counted the drops I seen , so nobody brought there bikes ----- on a positive note , my buddy texted my a google earth boundary line shot and informed me they just closed on two more plots that total 115 acres ( 90 and 25) , which connects to their 440 acres I'm riding on now , so now riding on 555 acres , 555 is crazy , I'd call it the triple Nickel , but he also told me they are in negotiations for a 800 acre plot 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted April 6, 2022 i have t bee on this thread in a while, with everything that's happened in my life, so i desided to cook something good, figured I'd post about...... two cornish hens with dressing for stuffing, coated with extra virgin olive oil, then dusted with Mccormicks Grill Mates Montreal chicken seasoning, ow just to figure out what to go with it ? creamed tators ? green beans ? Mack and cheese ? what goes good with cornish hen ? sure felt good to cook again, and take my mind off of things, maybe I'll actually eat more, hop in the chat room, and later sleep good tonight..... never mind the hole in the left bird, that's from the temp probe, i don't eat anything (meat size that's not slightly over cooked, now they're are the air fryed getting the skin crispy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 6, 2022 For a side ---- Roasted potatoes : cut small chunks with the skin on , cookie pan with olive oil , seasoned well , throw it in the oven while the hen is cooking , good stuff 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted April 6, 2022 oh yeah!, seasoned roasted red taters the air fryer should just right on those, although i have only done tots, frys, and s spicy curly frys in it, but worked great, just as moist on the inside, and crispy on the out side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted April 6, 2022 If you are going airfryer , then try this , get a squirt bottle , you know , like Windex would come in , not a Windex bottle , lol , just giving an example , put olive oil in the bottle and spray what ever your air frying with a mist of oil , just a very small mist , don't over do it , works great on shrimp or chicken , to give it a crispy outside 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
