I don't think so, Cholulas  Chipolle is a redish brown color and delicious!

Yesterday was a shrimp boil , these shrimp are something different for me , they are  Texas deep water brown shrimp , and they came out really good , peeled perfect and great taste , got them for $4.00 a pound , pretty good deal as Louisiana's inshore shrimp season is closed ---- they were IQF'ed which scared me , but my buddy who owns the seafood shop assured me they were  good eating as he gave me some samples to try of his boil ,  he uses these now  as his house boiled shrimp as the Bayou LaBatture , Alabama shrimp are hard to get right now  

 

Son in Law was in a poker run in his classic car ( 70 Cutlass 442/ 455 clone ) and his crew made a pit stop at the house , so we had about 25 people over , we had hamburgers and some sides , and still had 5 pounds left out of 25 pounds , shrimp salad today , shrimp go a long way unlike   crayfish that were  $3.75 this week for premiums , maybe after Easter the price on crayfish  will get right and we'll boil some

Bons temps, mon ami; AaaahhEee!!

 

that IQF is great sometimes they use liquid nitrogen; flash freeze keeps the ice crystals tiny—large crystals from slow freezing bursts the cells makes the meat mushy

I have never heard freezing  explained that way  tiny ice crystals and large ice  crystals , interesting ! --- I think the best way is to freeze them in blocks of water , that's how they ship them  from Bayou LaBatture in 25 pound blocks , perfect size for a party 

 

I always thought the type of brine solution that is used , makes the taste  difference , some shrimp pick up a strong iodine taste when IQF'ed  , and I don't like that taste ---  these last shrimp  didn't have that salty/iodine  taste to them

 

going to make some shrimp salad with them left overs , just a little different today , grandmaw's recipe , marinated shrimp ,  usually use mayo and horseradish , today it is going to be , no mayo , good olive oil, vinegar , lemon juice and horseradish for a kick , going to chop up some onions , celery , garlic , shallots and olive salad , scoop of that on a Kebler cracker , MMMMM !!!

My wife recently retired as some might know , so her new hobby is cooking , over the years when I seen nice cook books at flea market and garage sales i would buy them for her , well I have to say she is getting better at it all the time , I have ate more rice in the last few week then all of last year , other than in gumbo or jambalaya I am not a rice guy , but have recently learned , with the right sauce or gravy it ain't too bad , maybe I am afraid of saying it wasn't that good  or was just hungry , LOL 

 

She done some pepper steak Tuesday that was out the box , last night was chicken breast in a white sauce ---living like a king , LOL 

 

This weekend we got a ride party scheduled with crayfish in mind ----

 

We been talking about a " ride in party "  with  site members , I am going to set a date this summer and call it the Ride In and invite who ever wants to show up from this  site , if no one shows up ---- who might be ready for a road trip to South East Louisiana

For @Tim-ANC

broiled sockeye salmon with Tony Cacheres cajun seasoning and lightly brushed with mango chutney 

 

the chutney makes a crisp sweet glaze
Broil about 7 minutes

My friends were trying to keep their restaurant going so I was eating Vietnamese food three times a week. Of course a tall mug of homebrew every night. then the doc says “hey you’re getting pre-diabetic—what are you doing?“

He says “rice has sugar and so does beer—you need to cut way back!”


so I stopped eating rice and that got my standing glucose back down. My friends had by that time closed their restaurant—retirement, COVID etc.

 

anyway watch your glucose @Fishfiles, rice always gives me a sugar crash right after dinner. The doc will want you to count your beers better lol

 

 

BTW that’s Major Grey’s mango chutney

We boiled 25 pounds of shrimp with all the fixin's yesterday , these shrimp were fresh , not frozen and from offshore of Louisiana , call them a 25 count brownie ,  they were good , very sweet , still got 5 pounds left over for today  , Mr Kim showed up and he is never empty handed , he brought 20 pounds of boiled crayfish from Lama's Seafood in Madisonville , excellent , Lama's has been in business for maybe 100 years 

 

Cooked up some Great Northern beans with a South of the Border twist , heavy chili powder and Mexican seasonings with two types of sausages , had grilled pork chops and country style ribs , baked mac is an always , there were some dips that were real good ,Deanna made some crab dip that was spicy and I couldn't stop eating it 

 

we went riding with 5 bikes , the Arctic Cat got wet and wouldn't start , the Can-Am was pulling him back and it started smoking  the drive belt , so the 2020 420 pulled him the rest of the way , it turned into  4 hours of a ride , had 1/2 dozen people showed up and was waiting for  us when we got back

I just hooked up Shade with the name and number of the guy that runs the shipping department of the  seafood shop in Slidell , they ship across the country , I would bet even with the shipping fee , it would be a lot cheaper and better product then buying up north , if you want I can pass the name and number to you'll

@Freedomflyer  Here is a pic of last weekends shrimp from Kenney's Seafood, they were $3.49 a pound , I'd call them 25 count , perfect size to me , they were Louisiana offshore caught and fresh not IQF'ed ----- they peeled perfect after boiling them

Boiled a couple of sacks of crayfish ( 65 pounds ) yesterday and we rode ATVs  , nice to have a good friend since I was 13 that has a seafood shop , he walks the sacks for me so every one of them 'dads was live and licking -----   the delivery truck from PierrePort , La  pulled up right when I did and dropped off 110 sacks and was coming back today with 70 more , about as fresh as can be 

 

My buddy Skip loads his 350 on the back of his flat bead , pretty steep if you ask me , glad I don't have to climb that rig

OKAY EVERYONE STOP EATING MEAT!!!!!!!

 

https://youtu.be/23R_kBMVOAE

 

I guess I am guilty of being  meat racist , cause there was a lot of racism going on this weekend on my patio pit , BBQ'ed  ribs , pork country style ribs , drenched in Cattleman Sauce ----I had a couple of our colored friends stop over and they ate with us  , so would that make it ok ? 

 

 

I remember when I was a kid and didn't eat everything on my plate , my mom would say , " there are staving kids in Africa who would love to have that " , I would say , " can we  send it to them " 

 

I never was a racist person , wasn't brought up that way , everyone got along when I was a kid ------  I am about feed up with the everything is racist B.S. going on  ----

 

I was discriminated against in my life many times , the biggest time was when I wanted to be a fireman in New Orleans , they were hiring 60 recruits , 45 of which  had to be black , I found out later I scored 19th on the tests of 60 and didn't get the job , they called me about a class action discrimination lawsuit , which was won , but the city of New Orleans to this day has never  pay the $55K awarded to the 41 that were discriminated against for being smarter and more fit for the job ---- I learned back then , it was not the people who got the job , that I didn't get , that I was mad and hating on , it was the system  that pulled it off  which was to blame  ----  everything going on right now with the racist charges is reverse discrimination in it's self  

 

The food channel has been over run by racist meat , what next  !

In my never ending quest to be on top my game when it comes to Good Eats -----   I just had a look at what foods are on the racist list now days on the net , there is actually a web site dedicated to listing racist foods  ------  fried chicken and watermelon still on top the list as the most racist foods  , pancakes , syrup and Uncle Ben's rice are new comers and high on the list -----  meat , especially BBQ'ed is on the move up -----  maybe the groceries need signs next to the products , racist and non-racist products ----  We actually have a restaurant down here called Chicken and Melons and you don't need a rocket scientist to  guess their specialty

I live in a town that's about 80% black.  The folks here laugh at such crap. 

 

I think they're putting something in the water in the cities to make people stupid.

Wife and I just stopped at kenneys on the way back from the coast. They have great side options (I had gumbo and crab and corn bisque) and there was a ton of fried shrimp on my platter. I guess the crawfish pie was lagniappe. It was good.
 

Anyway, we liked it. I remembered you mentioning it. So we stopped to try it out.

Wow , you were about 7 miles from where I live  ----- I have ate a lot of Kenney's product , mostly over the counter and cook it myself , I have ate lunch there a few times , shrimp and oyster poor boys , my favorite thing to order for lunch there  is a fried soft shell crab on bun with just butter and ketchup --- I have never tried their crayfish pie , but love crayfish pie , you got me wanting some now 

 

  Next time try Middendorf's Catfish or Phil's Marina Cafe which  are both better " restaurants "  , one on each side of the Oak Harbor Exit --------  right down the street from Kenney's about 1 mile is South Side , that is also worth the trip , love the decorations , lots to look at on the walls and cellings ----  I was on a job site last week at the end of Rat Nest Road , now called Lakeshore Dr as it is up'pidy now , they are really building up in that area , they are building a Blue Crab , which they have one in New Orleans on Lake Shore Dr , it is really good stuff , can't wait for that one 

 

Next time your in my neighborhood , give a shut out and maybe you can stop by or have some dinner together
