Knock off Taco Pizza. I liked it, but I somehow didn't do it right, says the one who didn't do diddly squat but eat.

Turkey and Havarti sandwich
Gonna make a big ol' sandwich with fried milanesa (thin-@$$ steaks from anorexic cows, lol), Swiss or possibly Cheddar cheese, French or Italian bread, mayo, mustard and/or creamy deli horseradish sauce, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. When it's all said and done and the toasted sandwich is put together, I'm thinking it won't suck, lol. Right now I'm in PAR-TAY MODE, not that hungry yet, so I'll drink a few more beers first, then slap together that sandwich, aye? No big plans for the evening, just hangin' here with 5 felines... they make life interesting, lol. 
Jalapeno and cheddar Ekrich sausage sandwiches with Mac n' cheese!

Ate at my favorite cousin's place. Her son brought Wendy's chili. We also had cornbread, veg soup, and I brought potato salad. Apple crisp for dessert with fresh cream.
Made venison stew in the instant pot and it is amazing!
Long day o' chores behind me, think I'll make a pan-fried milanesa sandwich with toasted Italian bread, Swiss or Cheddar cheese, mayo, mustard or possibly creamy horseradish sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.
Quick & easy, the only substitution I might make is to use breaded Parmesan chicken instead of the milanesa, as the yardbird is already cooked, but I'm probably gonna go with the beef because it doesn't take long to brown in the pan.
Right now, I'm enjoying a cold beer, might have another before I start cooking... once I eat, that's it, no more beer, at my age I can't drink on top of a full stomach, lol. I could when I was young, but not now, I'd rather chill out & relax, lol.

Last minute trip to the pharmacy for the folks. I stopped at sonic and got a chili cheese dog and tots.
The tots were crappy, didn't even look like the tasty ones they used to have. Tots are the only reason I stop there...

Totally crazy, but HUBBY picked up salads from Chick Fil A!! Yum! Scoring some birthday points!!
Cool day, rainy outside so I made a pot of gumbo. From a Zatarain's mix which are always on the salty side (to me). I added a pkg of frozen okra which absorbed some of the salt.
It turned out tasty... still just a touch salty. I think I'll make some rice and have the gumbo over it tomorrow.

Vegatable soup, the barometer dropped like a rock, and I'm got a lovely migraine. This too shall pass
I haven't eaten in 24 hours+ I'm hitting the clean out early, I felt a touch of gout coming on.
I went to Pizza Ranch after work. Despite the name, what they're really known for is their fried chicken buffet. I had six chicken legs!
Used the last of the Turkey Taco meat to make a taco pizza. Yummm.
I'm making a big ol' batch of my signature hot & spicy homemade chicken burrito mix, from the recipe which made me "almost famous" back on the beach in Coronado, lol. Dang, my home is starting to smell so good! I always use fresh ingredients in my burrito mix, tonight I used some hot peppers off my plant in the yard as well as some primo Jalapenos grown right here in New Mexico, which is basically the 'Chile Capital of the World' (says so on one official version of the state license plate, lol). I also used white onion, vine-ripened tomato, some store-bought salsa, butter, a dash of beer, etc. I cook the yardbird separately first, then chunk it up and toss it into the mix to simmer for a while... don't wanna overcook the chicken before adding it to the mix.
I know I've seen a 'Recipes' thread here somewhere, I'll eventually throw down my personal recipe for making this burrito mix, over the years many folks have eaten at my table, whether the table was in Kalifornia, Arizona or New Mexico, lol, and I've NEVER had ANY complaints, those folks were too busy eating, 10-4? I will take a pic of the finished mix tonight, and take a pic or two of how I assemble my burritos, which will all be topped off with fresh homemade guac, store-bought sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce (not salsa) on top, more for presentation than anything else, lol. The peppers in the mix are what add the heat, but I don't make my burritos stupid hot, just hot enough to get your scalp damp as you eat 'em, lol. Boy, are they ever tasty! And the texture is just right too... gotta eat em with fork & knife & spoon!
Well, time to chunk up that chicken and get it into the pot, be back later like a bad rash to post some burrito porn, lol.

Leftovers tonight, had the last of the gumbo. I did freeze 2 big portions for a rainy day.
Last night I craved meat and taters, had plenty of both.
When I eat a steak at home I like to chew on a green onion like a celery stick with wings. Am I the only person who does this? Something about green onions n steak together that is tasty, to me.

Had some chips earlier to ease my stomach back into duty.
BBQed ham I'll regret soon. LOL
Peanut I like green onions with most things. With steak and taters fro sure.
We had steak and twice baked taters tonight.

Dang, Peanut, that steak looks good, lol. I'm gonna post some pics of tonight's dinner, though I haven't even put together any burritos yet... the mix is done, but it'll stay hot for quite awhile in the pot I use, and I feel like having a cold beer first, as I won't be able to drink once I mack, lol. No worries, this sorta mix not only stays hot for awhile, especially in a covered pot, but all the other ingredients are ready to go during burrito assembly, which doesn't take but 2-3 minutes when the time comes. Making burrito batches is not only a culinary art, it's a process, and I like to stay on top of things as I go, but there are times when I can take a legitimate beer break and nothing suffers in quality, 10-4?
Now, let's begin with my 'kitchen help'---the kittens aren't allowed on the important counter surfaces while I'm cooking, and I ALWAYS wipe down these surfaces before I begin, and even as I'm cooking, as I'm NOT big on botulism or salmonella, lol. That idiot on the 'HELL'S KITCHEN' show has NOTHING on us here, we're FULL-ON "STURM UND DRANG" WAFFEN SS COOKS in the kitchen, and much like Long John Silver in the galley, lol. Careless slobs get cold steel in cutlass form, lol. Or maybe butcher knife form. As my best friend "T-Bone" once said: "Damn, Ev, you run a tight ship!" Best compliment a cook can receive, and the only way to go, IMHO. Anyway, here are shots taken so far:
As you can see, I like big chunks of meat & veggies in my burrito mix, they add texture and bursts of flavor, AYE? The vine-ripened tomatoes will break up into smaller pieces as I stir the mix, but that's okay, their flavor is ever-present, lol. And this particular batch is good, I sample the end product, you understand, lol. Nice heat to this batch, but chock full o' flavor too, just the way it should be... frankly, and I'm NOT boasting here, but I've been cooking for 50 years, and I can make better food than most restaurant cooks or chefs, straight up, yeah? Whether I'm cooking in the kitchen or on the BBQ, it doesn't matter, lol. Like the one idiot rap song says: "I BEEN DOING THIS!!!"
Not only that, y'all know I'm a CHEAP B@STARD, so I'd rather make BETTER FOOD on my own property than WASTE MONEY in some restaurant where the "cook" just wiped his @$$ with his fingers, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Damn, sometimes I slay myself... and this cold beer sure tastes mighty fine, lol. BTW, that cardboard box in the background is NOT permanent, it's for the kittens, and here they are, now that they're done "supervising" in my home kitchen, lol. Trust the knucklehaids to go off once I covered the burrito mix for awhile... and I must say, I LOVE that shot I already posted of little Zorlac smelling the good aroma in my kitchen with his eyes closed, that's a KEEPER, lol.
Dang, I haven't even put up those dragon pieces yet... meh, they'll eventually go up once I get all the painting done. That "GAMES" you see on the box refers to my three favorite board games: TWIXT, PLOY, and FEUDAL, they are so-called "bookshelf games" and they involve pure strategy, no chance with dice or cards or whatever. In other words, NO EXCUSE if ya LOSE, lol. And howzabout that shot of Zorlac on the bar stool? Reminds me of that George Thorogood song, the one that goes: "ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH & ONE BEER!!!" Lol. Maybe I should enroll Zorlac in 'Alkies Anonymous'---he obviously can't handle his liquor, 10-4? The pogue... what a lightweight! Okay, I'm done for now...
I believe I'll start watching 'T3' with Ah-nold Schwarzenegger, I saw it on my streaming stick, and I still have a couple beers in my fridge to drink before I slap together a monster burrito, lol. I gotta run to town manana ANYWAY, might as well finish off what beers I have. That burrito mix will stay hot for an hour, at which point I'll mack and post more shots of my dinner, lol. I already did all dirty dishes too, that way I just wipe my dirty plate, slip it into the sink and call it a night, without having to face a truckload of dishes in the morning, lol. As a bachelor, I've learned a few tricks in my time to make life EASIER, lol. Y'all hang loose, and try not to salivate as you check out these pics, and later pics too! Magus, too bad you aren't here to mack a big ol' burrito plate, it'd solve your problem as it burned ya on both ends, lol. CHEERS!!!
Edit: Hey, I just noticed that the Zorlac shot I like also has the glass bong in the background, lol...
Dang, I'd forgotten how FUNNY this 'T3' flick is, I'm ROTFLMAO!!! SO funny when Ah-nold views the one gal's attire as 'INAPPROPRIATE'---then he stomps those Elton John glasses after trying 'em on, LOL.
