The Kingdom of Ozark Tracker

[Delmonico]

That was 2 pounds of sirloin steak as meat.  My supper on the 3rd of this month and enough left over for breakfast.

Watch Alton Brown on Good Eats, that boy know's how to eat.

[Ozark Tracker]

they were showing some "chef" cooking eariler today when he put the meat and fixin's on the plate it looked like my leftovers.  not much more than that.

[Arcey]

Might hafta, Del.  Just look it the way that's cooked down.  Just betya sumthin' pretty that pot likker poured o'er'll make ya sit 'n look ta Heaven in sheer thanks fer lettin' ya be alive at that place 'n time.

OT.  It don't matter.  They doan eat that stuff ennyways.  Take Sandra Lee fer 'sample.  She's all boo... opps, 'n blonde hair.  The gal is an-or-rexic.  She don't eat nuttin'.

[Delmonico]

I have one coming up the 27th of Aug at a Restored Pony Express staion down south of me just inside Kansas.  My blacksmith friends talked me into coming.  They have a large garden with heirloom type veggies in it.  Bet I could make somthing out of them that Trinity would eat.  Oh, BTW I have free reign in the garden, if it's eatable I can cook it up.

[Ozark Tracker]

Arcey, you right, I ain't a going nowhere like that anyway,  When I go down here and get an order of smoked ribs,  I know I'm gonna hafta ask for a carry home box  and that it'll make a little over a meal next time.  and that's just the single order dinner

course now if I get the big porker rib dinner it'll feed me & ma wife and again when we get home.

[Trinity]

Come on out sometime Arcey, I'll make it fer ya.   There wern't no good parsnips at the store that day though.

They ain' no good parsnips no day!

That gal is cute .... until she starts talking.  She gets on my nerves.  She's too excited about her little ideas.

Turkey and Beans in the chili, ya might as well add the macaroni and sprinkle Velveeta in it.

Next you'll be usin' Emril's or Matha Stewart chili mix in it.

I agree on the macroni and velvetta<<<< Don't knock the 3 bean chili till you tried it.


Arcey, I had some Asian Coky nuit shrimp not too long ago it was good different though....Had Key Lime pie fer dessert that night

[Trinity]

Yeah, them coky-nut scrimps ain' all that bad.  It don' taste like deee-sert.  However, if'n ya got only enough fer scrimps or a pah... Cocynut crame pah shoud win, no question! 

[Ozark Tracker]

[Trinity]

Cow is the only sort I won't try.

[Ozark Tracker]

[litl rooster]

Cow is the only sort I won't try.

I'm Hongry

[Ozark Tracker]

Them pecan pies are my # 1  favorite,  right up there with peach cobbler   both with ice cream

[Trinity]

Take the pecans out and what do you have?  My second favorite pie.... Brown Sugar Pie!   Now, Ah'm HONGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'm not too great a fan of the various nuts.  I only like peanuts. )

[Ozark Tracker]

when I was a kid, my grandpa had 75 pecan trees that he always kept sprayed and cleaned up around,
in the fall he would have the tree shaken by machine , 

we always had all the pecans we could handle and sold the rest.

[Arcey]

Awwwwww man. Way back when. A bag ah pecans from a neighbor's tree we picked up off the ground.  Momma's nut crackers.  Glass ah Coke with ice in it.  No air, sit in the floor with the fan blowin' on ya.  Ever once in a while ya'd miss a hunk ah shell - gee that was bitter!  Three channels on B&W TV 'n all worth watchin'.

Memories.....

How about some Shoofly Pie made with Molasses?  YUM!

[Trinity]

Back in Texas when I was a boy, we had a pecan tree outside and would always pick the pecans up at christmas time and have them in bowls all over the place.  I can eat pecans if they are around.  I just won't seek them out.

[Ozark Tracker]

back through the years, I use to make oatmeal cookies with pecans, grandma taught me when I was pretty young and I could always make a better batch than ma wifes,  except the one I have now, she is good  at cooking, and like to cook.

[Trinity]

I have never dated a woman that knew how to cook more than five dishes.    I guess it's a sign of the times.  You'd think that with all these cooking shows more people are cooking.  But if you look in the grocery stores at the prepared foods you think otherwise.

Can I cook?  Maybe, but I'd rather take that box of hamburger helper... it's faster.
