Spiedies! From where I grew up.

I don't know about no desire anywhere else, they just aren't anywhere else

Haaaa!!! I haven't heard of those in years!  My college boyfriend was from Binghamton, NY....that's the general area these are from right??  His family would bring the "special spiedie marinade" down every time they came to visit. I believe they grilled chicken skewers soaked in the marinade and made some kind of sandwiches maybe..  it's hard to remember. They went bonkers over this stuff, "it's spiedies night!!!" I run across the marinade ever so often in a grocery store and it makes me laugh.

The Hicks in my family used to go on about something called a maderight from before they left the sticks in the 70s.

Binghamton, NY indeed. Salamidas spiedie sauce. There are others but that's the best and the one you see. Chicken (or other meat), cubed and marinated at least overnight then grilled on metal skewers. Popped on a slice of Italian bread, though the restaurants now do sub rolls tool. 

Spiedies are the best and everywhere I have lived I have brought them and people love them

^ They were very tasty and I think the excitement of the whole "event" made it even better. Beer, darts, that washer toss game that's like cornhole, but better...

Washers is a construction site game, lol.  That's what you'd play when waiting...

Before and after. 
Brussel sprouts and teriyaki chicken. This paleo friendly so the teriyaki is actually coconut aminos.

In the cast iron skillet add thinly sliced/diced garlic, 2 tbs coconut oil and couple dashes of red pepper.  

Cook on med heat and stir occasionally.  I like when they get browned more but I was in a rush...

F Me In The Brain

Got fancy for breakfast this AM.
2 pieces of sourdough, toasted, on a plate
2 eggs 'sunny side up', just firmed, slid over the two piece of toast
Texas Champagne sauce all over (not very hot but taste is awesome)
Knife, Fork....goodness.
Sometimes simple hits it out of the park.
