    Texarkana - Across The Border
    This afternoon's supper will consist of Schweinefleisch from the pork butt. I usually use a fresh tenderloin (not a fresh loin of pork but a tenderloin) but try finding a good butcher near Texarkana to get one cut to your liking or to even be an actual tenderloin as opposed to a loin.

    It is being oven roasted as I type. It is a Bavarian delight and yes they call the dish Schweinefleisch or in other words Swine Flesh at least in my wife's neck of Bavaria (town of Plattling). They do not call it roast tenderloin or anything else there abouts. Accompanying that will be Rote Kraut, Sauerkraut, maybe a vegetable medley (frozen veggies but I am 65 & single and do not need all the bother of preparing fresh veggies) and because I forgot to get small white potatoes to roast in with the meat, I suppose a brown rice & quinoa mix will have to do. A salad may also be in order if my supply of tortoise food does not look to withered, it's been in the fridge a week or so. Also, I think I'll bake a loaf of French bread. (Yeah I know, why am I baking French bread with a German dish? Because it is Pillsbury dough in the can and it's easy and not messy like baking from scratch although I have baked some very tasty breads and other delights before like Apfelstrudel.) I will be imbibing, as I already am doing right now (is it noon yet:rolleyes:), a glass of Spaten lager or two with the meal.

    Hearty, plain and fairly simple, the way I like most of my meals. None of that fancy heavy saucy/gravy on my meat for me in most cases; although, my wife used to make a wondrful mustard/cream sauce in which she cooked beef fillets and she could make some fine gravy too. As for me about the only sauces I regularly make are Italian sauces for pasta (and while I use those from a jar like Prego, I often add a good amount of spice to them and sometimes make my own from plain canned sauce; although, I have on rare occasion made them from scratch). When it comes to Italian sauces I like mine spicy, thick & heavy.

    Edited to add:


    The meal ready to eat.

    Not only did my mongrel Skye have a nice chunk of the roasted pork but I also boiled up the bone with meat on it, cut off most of the meat and mixed it with her meal, then gave her the bone too. She loved it.

    I really need to cook meals more often other than just heating up frozen or canned stuff.

    Carne Asada tacos.

    Next weekend will be pulled pork made with the two pork shoulder roasts I have leftover from a whole pork shoulder I bought, along with a chuck roast, when I made chile verde the week before.

    I had a double-meat, double-cheese hamburger and two large orders of fries from Whataburger last night. It was so gooood! :banana:

    Oh man, we don't have Whatabooger, or In-N-Out, and our Burger King just failed due to increased franchise fees. Now it's McD or Wendy's since all eat in diners are closed by decree of The Great Goddess in Salem.

    I'm getting addicted to Wendy's Baconator burger. Had a coupon for buy one get one for a buck. Two patties, two cheese, two layers of bacon, and special sauce (mayo and ketchup, but it's good anyway). I can barely eat ONE! Wife liked hers too. I don't buy their fries cuz they suck. McD has the best fries here in town, if they're hot. I hate limp fries. (bbq seasoned fries exist 20 min away, but too much snow right now)

    Out here by the lake!
    Is your wife going to make you sleep outside tonight?
    She knows were the couch is! Her room still aint set up. King Sized Sleep number remote aint made it here yet. She gets the master bedroom, because it's bigger. Guest room is where we been sleeping.

    The couch is just a little short to sleep on but I did it while the dog was agonizing. My electric gimp chair might be good if you napping, but I aint napped in it yet. I'm planning on a sofa sleeper in my gun room. Big ass windows lookout like the front door view.

    One buddy said the screen back porch would work fine a lot of the time! Army cot for napping out there. Might invest in a Guatemalan hammock for the front porch.

    I see a lot of napping in my future.

    Hey the neighbors across the street. They said help myself to their fishing pier!
