Do You Have the Time to Listen to Me Whine

So I have a big admission to make this Sunday - I LOVE watching the Republican debates.  It's like my love of watching WWE and NASCAR, it taps into something primal.  It's like unzipping your head and putting your brain in the washing machine and then just sitting on the couch in a vegetative state of stupefying bliss!  Watching Marco and Ted team up on the Donald is like seeing Stone Cold Steve Austin take Triple H to the woodshed!  Speaking of which, Ted sure does remind me of the Undertaker.

Anyway I have an itch I have to scratch from watching all those silly Republican boys quarreling over who has the biggest pee pee in the sandbox and that is the Ashley Madison profiles I've imagined for all of them whilst I've been on the elliptical at the gym.  Don't worry, I've been watching hot looking ladies as well, I can imagine posts and look at butts at the same time; I'm talented that way!

So it's Sunday, time for all those fancy political shows, I think Ashley Madison needs a voice as well, here we go!  Btw, if you are confused about some of their vital stats remember this is AM and they are politicians so the truth can be bought with Super PAC credits!

Btw, I love breasts I just don't mention that as a perfect match because I prefer to buy breasts.  And when I buy breasts I buy the biggest most beautiful breasts and put them on the most beautiful women, often from foreign countries because I'm not going to leave a beautiful women to lie around horny on the streets of Prague with natural breasts.  I negotiate deals because I'm a really great negotiator, you'll love the way I negotiate for your breasts and I get them at the best possible price.  When I'm President we are going to have the best breasts because we won't have boarders, we will let the free market come into place for the best breasts.  If Kansas has better breast than Kentucky then you can get your breasts from Kansas.

When you choose me I'm going to build a wall because I want to keep all those sickos on the other side.  You know I've looked at profiles of women who come over from Plenty of Fish; they don't send us their best MILFS.  So we are going to build a wall keep them on the other side, make them pay, and I'll keep all the hot soccer moms to myself because you are going to love me, I do great things.

Why no Dr. Carson?  Well, Wolf kind of forgot about him as well the other night so don't get on my ass for forgetting!  Besides he talks too slow for Ashley Madison anyway and he's a doctor; a doc's AM is the ER, every day stat!  :)


Oops, and who can forget:

Feel the Bern!
"and by bern I mean wealth redistribution not the bern from an unwashed pecker."

I don't take checks from corporations, Super PACS, or married dating sites so I won't put any checks here!  I don't write priority messages because I prefer to be funded 5 credits at a time.  I am tired of working class ladies getting pushed out by off shore single corporate prostitutes sending unregulated winks to underfunded men.  So I am proposing a tax on all credits used in response to single overseas women under 30 that will go into a trust fund and mandated to be spent by men who will write to women who have not been getting a fair piece of the Ashley Madison pie.  It only fair, too few people have been getting the incremental sex that Ashely Madison creates; we all need a share of the hair-pie! And listen, NO woman's tits are too big to fail!  If you have small tits you should have a chance too.  And I am not a single issue guy.  I know there are women in China, in Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East and we have to deal with them but let's face it, I'm a crusty old curmudgeonly wild haired guy, those ladies are not going to *uck me so I'm not going to spend hard our earned credits funding the needs of foreign ladies.  Americans are not the world's pimp, they can solve their own needs!

I Will Play for Gumbo


Last weekend I posted my annual "Foods of the Super Bowl Cities" post, a long standing tradition for me.  My other long standing tradition on this blog is a post dedicated to my love of pan-Southern creole cuisine around this crazy start to the lenten season.  A lot of people like to call it Mardi Gras.

So for starters lets say:


Laissez les Bonne Temps Roulade!!!


There are lot's of recipes one can talk about that evoke images of Mardi Gras festivities that range from Cajun to Creole to even Caribbean, Floribbean, Texan, or even Low-Country Carolinian.

The one dish that really does bind them all together is the quintessential Louisianan and really, in essence, American dish - Gumbo.  Gumbo is Democratic in that it is served by rich and poor and enjoyed by young and old.  It is diplomatic in that it incorporates all the rich cultures that influenced the south including African American, Native American, French, and Spanish.  It is literally and figuratively the "melting pot" of American cuisine.

Wiki defines Gumbo as "a stew that originated in Southern Louisiana during the 18th century.  It consists of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and the Cajun 'holy trinity' of vegetables (celery, bell peppers, and onions)."  The name itself, Gumbo, is likely to be a mongrilized combination of the Bantu African word for okra (ki ngombo)  and the Choctaw word for file (kombo).  It is either or both okra (brought over from Africa) and/or (Gumbo) file (ground leaves of the sassafras tree) that is used to thicken Gumbo, hence the mixing of cultures to bind it together.

And those base ingredients and recipe that bind Gumbo create the binding affect Gumbo has on us. The base roux is created by combining whatever fat one has available with flour.  If you were poor (Cajun) it may have been leftover sausage fat, if you were rich (Creole) it may be a creamy butter. The style of preparation is influenced by classic French, such as a bouillabaisse, and yet the combination with rice hearkens somewhat to Spanish paella.

Here is a wonderful little history of Gumbo if you wish to read further (and more informatively)!  It is written by Mr. Stanley Dry.


But all that is just talk, I'd rather eat!  There are so many ways to prepare Gumbo and none is really best or just right but I have to steal a recipe from somewhere so I guess I may as well steal one from a favorite restaurant.  If you are ever touring the Gulf Coast make sure you venture over to the Mississippi side of the river and visit Mary Mahoney's Old French House restaurant in Biloxi, MS. You'll enjoy the visit!  If you go make sure to speak to Bobby and ask him to tell you a joke.


Here is Mary Mahoney's Seafood Gumbo recipe:

Ingredients:

3 Tbs          Flour
2.5 Tbs       Bacon Drippings
1 Onion      Finely Choppped
0.75 Cups   Finely Chopped Celery
0.5 Head     Garlic Clove, chopped
1 Can          Diced Tomatoes (14 oz)
1 Sm Can    Tomato Sauce (7.5 oz)
3 Cups        Water
0.75 tsp       Salt
0.25 tsp       Black Pepper
1#                Peeled Shrimp, prefer fresh (25 ct or bigger)
1#                Crab Meat
8 oz             Frozen Okra
1.5 Tbs        Worcestershire Sauce
0.5 pt           Oysters (if desired)
Tabasco to taste

*                  In a large stockpot, heat bacon drippings over medium heat until translucent.
*                  Pour flour into grease VERY slowly while briskly whisking flour into the warm grease
*                  Continue to mix until a caramel-colored roux is formed
*                  Add onions, celery, and garlic and continue to stir for 5 minutes
*                  Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, salt, and pepper and bring mixture to a boil
*                  Once mixtures comes to a boil reduce heat to simmer and let simmer for 1 hour
*                  Add shrimp, crab, and okra and increase heat to bring mixture to boil
*                  Boil gumbo for 20 minutes or until shrimp turns pink
*                  If using oysters, add in last five minutes of preparation
*                  Add Worcestershire Sauce and Tabasco to taste
*                  Serve over fluffy white rice and crusty French batard!

And if that gumbo sounds good make sure you have some great music to accompany!  Here is a fun little song by the Mississippi Gulf Coast's favorite son that sounds just right!

As Jimmy says Gumbo is -

"good for the body, good for the soul; it's a little like religion and a lot like SEX!  You should never know when you're gonna get it next!

At midnight in the quarter or noon in Thibadeaux,
I will play for Gumbo!"

It's a Carolina Rocky Mountain Music Day

These days I often find it very hard to keep blogging.  But one thing that really keeps me going is how much I enjoy the posts that somehow have become an annual occasion.  Looking back to my posts from the start I believe my first post that has become an annual was my first "Foods of the Super Bowl cities."  It combines sports, food, and travel; all things I love

Here is that first Super Bowl post.

So now we find ourselves at Super Bowl L (or 50 for you Trump supporters who refuse to read anything that isn't written in American or if you read in tee shirt sizes).

I'm personally in a bit of a quandary on who to pull for.  My natural inclination is to pull for Carolina, as they are my 2nd favorite team after my Washington Native Americans (yes I'm a rare Washingtonian who thinks we should get over the name thing and move onto a newer catchier nick-name for our beloved team).

Btw my thoughts for new names are the Washington Beltway Bandits, the Capital City K Street Filibuster Kings, the DMW Pork Barrelers (where DMV stands for Delaware, Maryland, Virginia; not a place where you renew your driver's license), or maybe even the Inner Beltway Defense Contractors!

So I've always been an admirer of Peyton Manning back to the days he played for the Tennessee Vols.  I would love to see him go out a winner!  More importantly I am catastrophically afraid that if Cam wins we will be dealing with "the Dab" for several more years to come!

Anyway here is Ryan's 2016 Super Bowl XV "Foods of the Super Bowl Cities."

I'll start with what I know best, Carolina Low-Country cooking.  I love Low Country cooking, it is very similar to Caribbean and Creole because it fuses European colonial, African-American, and Native American cuisine.  It evolved along the coast of the Carolinas as well as the Carolina/Georgia Sea Islands.

Except the Panthers are not from the coast, they are from that Banking capital of the south - Charlotte, which is very different.  So rather than going with my gut I'll go with a more neo-classical/Mayberry'esque Central Carolina culinary choice.

To me nothing says Carolina cuisine (other than maybe Cheer Wine) than Pimento Cheese.

Btw, the best Pimento Cheese is not in Charlotte, it's in the Triad but we won't split hairs; Carolinians always irritatingly cheer whichever Carolina team is playing so it's all the same to them.


Spicy Carolina White Cheddar Pimento Cheese (or Carolina caviar as some say down there)


Ingredients:

1#          Extra Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
0.5 Cup All Natural Mayonnaise
6 oz       Canned Diced Pimentos (or cut to 4 oz & use fire roasted red peppers for spicy)
2 oz       Jalapeno Peppers
0.5 tsp   Sugar
2 pinch  Black Pepper
1 pinch  Salt to taste  Garlic Powder and or Onion Powder

*            Grate the cheese at desired size, I prefer a finer grate but do as you wish.
*            Slowly stir in mayo until combined with cheese
*            Strain canned pimentos and add to cheese and mayo.
*            Strain and add jalapenos, if you want to add spice you may add a little brine from can.
*            Add sugar, pepper, salt, garlic power, and onion powder (if desired)
*            Taste to insure desired flavor.  Add spices as needed.
*            Refrigerate for several hours, overnight for best results


Enjoy as a sandwich, as a dip on crackers, or even as a topping for a burger and with a Cheer Wine or better yet with Miss Cheer Wine!!!


Denver Green Chili (or Chili Verde as some say up there)

To me Denver doesn't just scream great food.  However, Denver is home to my favorite airport restaurant the Timberline Grille, which you should definitely visit if you are ever on a SWA flight through DEN!

But lacking some experience I reached out to one of my best blogging fan pals/resident Denver Bronco fan (nee maniac) for some direction.  Moira pushed me in the direction of anything with green chilies and that is cooked low and slow.  You may remember her, she joined me on a Denver related post a few years ago.

Ingredients:

1.5#       Pork Tenderloin or Shoulder
2 Cups   Green Chiles
1 Can     Diced Tomatoes
1.5 Cup Tomatillo Salsa
5 Cups   Chicken Broth
1            Large Onion
1 Tbs     Olive Oil
0.5 tsp   Oregano
4            Garlic Cloves, minced
to taste  Salt and Pepper

*            In a Dutch oven slowly heat whole pork tenderloin/shoulder with olive oil, salt, and pepper
*            Once golden brown on all sides remove and set aside, leave liquid in the Dutch oven
*            Slice the onion and add to Dutch oven with liquid, reduce heat to medium
*            Mince the garlic cloves and add to oven mixture, stirring in slowly
*            Cook until onions are soft
*            Slice pork into 1" cubes
*            Introduce pork back into Dutch oven
*            Stir in green chilies, diced tomatoes (w/juice), tomatillo salsa, and chicken broth (as needed given liquid already in pot)
*            Add oregano
*            Simmer on medium to low heat for 20 minutes stirring occasionally
*            Add roux to thicken if desired or remove 2 cups of "soup" (with no pork), strain, and blend in food processor, and add back into stew, creating ticker texture.

Serve as a chili soup, as a burrito filling, or over rice and beans garnishing with fresh cilantro.

I won't predict a winner because I'm always wrong, but Madden football says the Panthers in a close one.

Here is a Rocky Mountain song I really love for all those Denver fans:


And for those Carolinians, here is a song from two of our favorite Carolina musicians:
