The Food Thread

Not weird, oysters are gross lol

If a food has to be slurped down as quickly as possible, it probably isn't very good.

yeah i can't do raw eggs. even runny yolks literally turn my stomach to where i vomit. no one will ever witness me dippin toast into runny ass yolks & if they do they must follow me into the bathroom where i'll be sick.

now here's a story about my grandpa & his quick ass bullshit egg cooking skills. dad always said it was from when (his dad) grandpa was in WWII fighting japanese on those islands that led him to fry an egg 30 seconds each side. fast forward to the 70s & 80s when us three boys would stay over at grandma & grandpa's house. grandpa made breakfast. all i remember was me trying to down my serving of nasty ass eggs. son of a bitch that was rough. both my brothers did fine with their breakfasts, not i. for one thing ya can't not eat what is served, that would not happen. (gramps meant well but sure sucked at eggs.)  (yes he literally used a timer... 30 seconds... flip)

i'd force down a bite or two, sometimes pretending to swallow the eggs, leaving the chewed up garbage in my mouth. i'd then excuse myself to go use the restroom where i'd spit out the eggs i hadn't swallowed & i'd then be vomiting what i had put down my neck. i can remember getting up from the table two or three times (possibly more) per breakfast. "you ok, chad?" "ya i'm ok just had to pee real quick again"

yesterday picked up a boneless pork loin. put it in the crock pot.

removed it to cool a bit then tore it to bits, added a hawaiian style bbq sauce. but let me back up a bit... added a new seasoning i had not used before, mccormick's - brown sugar bourbon. it turned out decent but it does not at all taste like my usual pork sandwich. i was a bit disappointed.

then while waking this morning i had a thought, "add the pulled pork to your ham & bean soup, heat & eat." & that's exactly what i did for lunch. it was pretty good

so let's see

made a roasting pan of ham & beans soup. it came together well. many cans of great northern beans went into this. i never opened that many cans at once, it was ridiculous. (i did bring home like four different styles of dried beans a weeks ago, but those beans are for chili & what have you. i'm a bit excited about soaking beans. anyhow.) 

9 pound bone in ham,  diced up an onion & some celery, added salt, pepper, garlic powder, & water. cooked the ham 15 min per pound. removed from the oven, removed ham from pan to cool, added beans, worked on the ham & put it back into the roaster & oven. a couple hours later it was on. forgot the cornbread until the next day.
