Dining as Entertainment

I started a thread with the same title long ago, but I can't find it now.

Sunday 12/22/2013

I'm having a brunch of warm, home made chocolate chip cookies and egg nog with a splash of Kahlua. You can't imagine the joy this simple pleasure brings.

You got any bourbon in that nog? That's the only way I'll drink it.

Fred O'Malley · 12-22-2013, 02:32 PM

Kahlua is a liqueur made from coffee beans, it's awesome in egg nog. Burbon is good too, but it can't compare to the coffee flavor. Try it, and you'll pour that burbon back in the stump where you found it.

I got you beat: having gumbo here. Shrimp, oyster, crab meat. The only thing that would make it better is if the weather were cold.

Gumbo is an every Friday night dinna at our house. jk sounds good.

We had veal rump roast stuffed with garlic and a side of Yellow Eyed beans and rice. Those beans are special, if you ever see them in a store, grab all they have, you'll never get tired of them.

Speaking of dining, I have heard that now you can't use cash to buy snacks on airplanes? Isn't it illegal that they only accepting credit cards? Isn't cash supposed to be legal tender everywhere by law?

It is legal tender, I have asked about this before. I was told this, "We carry no change so we will sell (blank) to you, but cannot break $20 bills. Expect to have exact change in the future."

One of the best things about living in the South in winter is having a fire outside and a pot of food on the side with a grill. Folks bringing side items and all the kids running around enjoying the cool air and winter break. This weekend is going to be a lot of fun.

Never heard of yellow-eyed beans. You get 'em dried, canned or frozen?

At Whole Foods you can get them dry, at Big Lots I found them canned. I picked up a few cans to take to the camp and when I got home, I nuked one to try them. They were so damned good that I went back and bought every can they had. Wife made them from dry with seasoning and smoked ham hocks. The best beans I've ever had.......and that's saying something. I didn't think you could ever beat field peas & corn bread.
