Something About Nothing...........#8

[minniejack]

It's been so long since I've been on these threads, I forgot how to post!!

Been extremely busy. Quick recap of life. DS14's grades have become all A's--way better than the C's and D's and tears from 7th grade and loves his teachers--great gluten free year. DS16 is still learning to drive, but I simply refuse to teach her to parallel park...gotta leave something for the DH to do.

We're not going to Montana, so we're pulling up the carpet and getting some Mirage Brazilian Cherry in the next few weeks. This is a project about 11 yrs overdue. Will make me happy and in debt.

Fairly healthy around here with just a few piggy flu episodes that put the kids under the weather--didn't get that sick because they'd been taking probiotics.

So happy hi to all.

I consider pork done at 175-180f anything higher seems to dry it out!

i didn't cook at all today.
for some reason, just super tired and all i did was pick up apples on the ground today.


we have 2 apple trees in our front yard and the stupid apples are still on the trees.....
well, only about 100 of them are still on them.


so, i took Mr Mac out to dinner tonight so i didn't have to cook.
i ordered prime rib, baked potato, green beans, salad and brought most of mine back home with me.

i ate the salad and bread and then was stuffed.


put the leftovers in the fridge.
i'm sure one of the peeps within my four walls will finish it off sometime tonight.

Bacteria in pork is killed at 145 degrees for 15 seconds. As long as you reach that temperature, you're good. However, beef/meat, poultry & fish are different temperatures. (I used to work for a food safety training company..even had to take the class and test..which, I passed w/ flying colors )

Hey Janet...glad to see you 'fly' by...

Hey to mac, Bonnie, minnie, Maria and everyone else

Welcome back, THUG! Glad things are looking up for you. We need to rip up the carpet in our bathroom and put tiles in. Who carpets a bathroom? And thsi isn't low carpet, this is shag garbage. SOOOOOOPER STINKY after years of moisture. Probably moldy, too. Can I just have your new floor so I don't have to do any work?

Well! Let's all BBkew at Barb's house! We know she won't kill us accidentally.

It'll be on purpose.


Big hey to everyone. HEY The little posts were funny!

Our concert is tomorrow and I have a bad cold. I'll probably have to sit in the audience because I can't really do much more than croak hoarsely at this point. I'll be the critic with the thesaurus.

I know Mac, I should have split this over 20 posts. I'm just glad you let me play in the yard. It's good exercise to play with the big doggies.

Sunday is here !!! It is time for some FOOTBALL!!

I will be heading to Church shortly so I have all the Homies backs for now......

We went to my DH's Christmas Party at the Racetrack last night. It was a good time out......did I mention there was a casino too?? Know your limit and play within it!! I kept hearing that little voice in my head

Have a GREAT day everyone!!

Finally took it off the smoker at 195 (at 1 am) and let is sit for an hour. It totally melted apart. I do pork tenderloin and pull it at 150 but shoulder is different. It takes that long at 225 degrees to get all the fat to melt into the meat.

I put 3 slabs of ribs on the smoker this morning at 8 am with pecan and apple wood. They should be ready to eat (along with the pulled pork) around halftime of the first NFL games today. We're also smoking a pot of beans, making garlic/pepper/cheese mashed potatoes and coleslaw.

And yes....there are peeps coming over today. The wife and I aren't eating all this food!!

GO COWBOYS!!!!

 

[macraven]

going to church soon.
your backs will be covered for the week.




if i would have known about Chef Mad Hattered cooking up the ribs yesterday, i might have hopped in the car for st louis instead of church today.......


tamie tu tu.........you have a good sense of wit.
yes, brab wouldn't poison us on accident........she knows what she is doing........ she is a good homie!

Because our Thanksgiving in Canada is at the begining of October we start the Christmas partys in November!!!!

My oldest son wants ALL our Christmas decorations up BUT my little guys birthday is December 6 so I refuse to put up the decorations INSIDE the house until after then!!!!

hey, aren't they playing that game in the Steelers stadium?

what color did we paint the room?
hot pink???

they play all their home games in heinz field, pitt never rebuilt their stadium...just as well...only way to it was up 'cardiac hill'...good thing lots of major hospitals within a stones throw.

pink, oh pleaseeeeeonly 3 things i like pink...neon stuff we have, flamingos & cheshire cat. I went with a subdued satin i had tinted a faint yellow to blend with the terra cotta in LR. btw, that dutch boy ceiling paint they sell that has a purple tint, then fades is the worst crap ever! Had to go back to lowes & get another couple of gallons of their brand to make it right.

now im hungry for prime rib, drool. We had chicken wings, must do with football.

i need smoker lessons from barb & the rest of yinz who have mastered it my charcoal always winds up going out & we wind up eating dinner @ bedtime. I haven't fired it up all year

Hi Homies. Sorry its been so long. This is the first change I have had since my Universal trippie. Got back, and everything was busy and stressful. Had the trial from Satanland. The client from the same place down under. Family issues. Yada, Yada, Yada.

Anyway, things got a little less hectic this weekend. Got out of a weekend with my Grandma, so I have a little time. Cooked all weekend, too. Sweet & Spicy Chicken, Roasted red pepper and lemongrass sambal, grilled portabello mushrooms, citrus marinated cucumbers, Italian sausage with orzo and the sambal, chicken with mushrooms made with the sambal, strawberry jelly and strawberry pound cake. I cook when I get stressed. I won't have to cook for a week.

Got another trial tomorrow. Have a great week guys and gals. I hope to put up a trip report soon.
