OSUT 257: Spring is Finally Here. Bring on the Outdoor Fun and Grilling Season!

[DoggyDaddy]

I don't know why, but it almost seems like a "fall" feel to the air outside this evening.

Just made pico de gallo, two flavors.

Sweet for all others, four times as much, four times as many peppers for me, but all hot.

Onion and garlic greens, cilantro from the garden.
Everything fresh this time, no canned tomatoes!

BBQ pork for meat, new tortillas from the Mexxie mart, some cheeses. They had the crumblies!

Came out to load my pipe for later and a proud showing of dinnner prep.

Might pass for a grandma, except for the foot long beard. Mine beats both my grandma's!

Evenin' BD.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Dang, just had the wind kick up like crazy!

I think waylon is farting.

Sun is finally out at least. I'm guessing I'll need to refill another propane tank this week. Going to get down in the upper 40's a couple mornings.

Oh sure, blame the dog...

I used to try to blame the dog.

I let everyone else go first, chef-like. There is plenty!

Wife's time to chill, but both youngs helped some.
It was mostly ambulatory needs.
I can really rock a cutting board, especially after my sharpening the blades!
I crawl, they fly.
Grab this, find that, need spoons ...
My turn after the rumble settles.

I'm chief cook and bottle washer here. But today was the first real "meal" I've cooked in awhile. By that I mean more than 2 items for Susan and me. It felt kinda good. Coming from a restaurant background, I was always used to preparing a lot of food for a lot of people. And I used to enjoy it for family get togethers and whatnot. It's hard to scale that down for 2 (well, 1 1/3 really).

Yeah.
No restaurant background, but summers at the grands house, meant seventeen scabs (back then, before we lost so many) and we were all expected to help, but stay out of her way.

I have always had a tough time scaling down food service.

Grandma, used to cook for many men who were out before sun up working with Grandpa, today it was her house, next day she was somewhere else, same men, different farm, etc.
Community!
I learned to cook for dozens, too.

Cooking for four, I often have leftovers.
Like tonight, though, that's a good thing!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm about ready to hit the shower and go to bed. Back to work tomorrow (albeit from home ). Goodnight all!

Chicken burritos were good. Showered and pulled a deer tick off of my leg. Yuck

 

[BeDome]

Goodnight, DD

 

[GregD]

Goodnight all

Heading down, folks.
Enjoy your rest.
