Tonight is either chicken piccata or chicken cordon bleu

I just served the main meal early. Shrimp and grits but I forgot the scallions on top. Dayum!

Had to offer to pay my kid extra money for her data plan, to get a pick. Just so FMB wouldn't pick on me. LMAO

It will come.

I like both!

ROFL

Let's hope she squeezes in that ribeye for that deal.

I asked for this pic like 15 minutes ago. She says she's not sending it right now. Rush service is extra. I certainly raised a free-market capitalist.

My biggest problem with all the food shows (Food Network/Cooking Channel) is the take a bite and immediately start telling me about it while struggling to chew, swallow and talk. I get that the tv component doesn't want awkward silence while someone finishes chewing, but the talking while chewing thing seems to have gotten worse over the years on these shows. I usually end up turning it. The Kitchen is the worst about it.

I had to nudge her. She also said she deleted the ribeye. IIRC, she sent that to a friend or so I thought.

Anyway, here's the shrimp and grits. BTW I know I've shown a lot of shrimp lately. I actually don't cook shrimp much at all. It's just after having shrimp and grits at this little Georgia Plantation town in June, called Thomasville, I had to make it. Then I worked in New Orleans at the end of July and had gumbo. So I had to make that too. It's a passing phase. Shrimp is too expensive to make often.

This was Bobby Flay's recipe.

I used a white cheddar imported from England so my grits aren't as yellow. I also forgot the scallions to top it off. Sauteed summer squash, red peppers, carrots and purple onion. Mixed garden salad with homemade Orange-Dijon vinaigrette dressing.



Outdoors on the lanai this time.

Top Chef was pretty good about chewing.

I seen something yesterday I haven't seen before. The Fox4kc local affiliate had a guy on from one of the prime time food shows he is a judge. Bald headed guy cant recall his name but seen him before. He was promoting his book on grilling and BBQ had Brit accent. Well the newsreader was outside with him grilling a steak. When it was done chef sawed off a piece gave it to anchor to try. One look told ya it was not good. Then he said it this is stringy and grisly and tough. Then chef said he got the bad end so he cut from the other end and stated this is the good side tender part. He bites into it and chews and chews then admits it was bad cut. I laughed my ass off.

It's worse on "live" shows like the Kitchen. Other shows there is really no excuse, just edit that shit out as no one wants to see it!

Well instead that oven you have a hankering for I may suggest a digital camera or a phone with camera :lol:

I've been looking for a digital camera but a good professional one with a glass lens. I'm willing to pay about $500 bucks for that but I've been redoing part of my house right now. It has to be Nikon too. The ex had a cheap one before that broke. It was really easy to get the pics off onto the computer.

Guy Fieri sucks. Here's his usual take on something spicy, like a jalapeño burger.

"mmmm the ground sirloin is cooked to perfection, the juices are flowing throughout my mouth creating a wonderful taste. I'm getting the sweetness from the carmalized onions and here comes the heat from the jalapeños. It just kinda sneaks up on you at the last minute. Incredible man you rocked it
