I can't wait to get my first mater to do just that with
We are going to Peanut's!! WOW that looks great!!
I am not saying that doesn't look good, cause it does. I am saying that I don't see the bacon and lettuce.
I went with a salad again. Just a regular chef salad with smoked turkey, ham and hardboiled eggs. I also had a little bit of beek jerky because I was still a little hungry. I tried a new soda called "Creamy Coconut Dr. Pepper". I will be just fine if I never have it again.
I think it's salads here too!!
Fresh tomatoes, biscuits & gravy, bacon flavored spam sliced thin with cheese cooked in oven.

Chicken legs with barbeque sauce, steak fries, fresh green beans, fresh beets, and cherries
Lettuce is over-ratedI am not saying that doesn't look good, cause it does. I am saying that I don't see the bacon and lettuce.
. BACON
Whatever sausage was lurking in the freeze. Turns out it was a Hot Mett.. Some Relish and Tater salad, one must prepare for the day of independence.

Chicken, cheese & water.
Going to throw a rack of pork ribs on the smoker then eventually some sweet potato wedges will join them. There will be no knives and forks at dinner tonight. I have selected Big Red as tonight's beverage.
Burnt ends from a brisket flat, corn on the cob, banana pudding and ice cold Coca-Cola.
Making cornbread salad, crumbled cornbread,mayo,green onions,fresh home grown tomatoes, and bacon. One of my favorites.
I do something similar but with a little celery and ranch dressing!!

I cooked up the corn on the cob before taking it to the party, broke each ear in half before boiling it. Wrapped them together in glass dish, covered with foil. By the time we ate them, they were cooled off, crunchy still but cooked, and so good! I thought they'd get mushy or something weird. Son-in-law took some of them, oiled or buttered them, put seasoning on them, slapped them on the grill for a few, those were good too but I preferred the originals. My salad, the corn, and he put hot dogs and hamburgers on the big grill. Great day.
As I was searching the kitchen for something to cook for dinner tonight, the wife walked in and declared she wanted Mexican food. Fine by me, that sounded good. (And it also meant we could go out and I wouldn't have to cook!) So we drove to a small family owned place only to find it was closed. Oh yeah, today is the 4th of July. So we thought chain restaurants might be open. We headed to "3 Margaritas". Not my favorite place, but OK kind of. They were closed too. Uh oh. I still might have to cook dinner. Then my wife said "What about Qdoba"? My stomach started to flip around in anguish, but I thought it still might be better than starting to cook this late in the evening.
And you know what? I actually enjoyed it! I was surprised. Sure, it was no doubt unhealthy. Loaded with salt. High in fat and calories. But dang it - it was good! I wouldn't want it every night, but seeing as how it has been many many years since we set foot in a Qdoba, I quite enjoyed myself. I did require a hit of antacids later in the evening, but that is pretty much expected these days anywhere we eat out. We cook most meals at home these days. Restaurants just don't seem as good as they used to be (or maybe my cooking has gotten better!) And restaurants are just so expensive now (Qdoba was actually pretty cheap though).
So, although unexpected, dinner worked out fine tonight!

We had to take the new Hellcat to Springfield to get the windows tinted. I got a snack and a Bloody Mary on the way.
Turns out the Lady is taking me out for Sushi. We have reservations at a place that is apparently quite in demand. I suppose I will have to actually put on nice clothes and behave like a gentleman as I slide raw fish and rice down my gullet. I think I will order something expensive, which of course means I will have to put out after. I mean fair is fair.
Eaten at the one by SDC campgrounds many times, huge portions. Need to head up that way soon. The job in Mountain Home, AR fell through. So will start looking again after I get my hip fixed.
This was the one in Ozark, the original Billy Gail’s in Branson has been bought out and they have added a couple more around the area.

We had pulled pork we picked up from the barbeque place in the bigger town. Some potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans. And ice cream, later.
Deer burgers off the grill!!
Venison Chili!
Tonight is fajitas, got a ribeye steak and a fat chicken breast marinating as I type. Will also throw together some fried peppers & onions, spicy pico de gallo, guacamole and elote. I have some Sidral Mundet in the fridge to drink.
My lads are making burgers. They just don't know it yet. I'm making dessert from our raspberries.

Had veggies from the garden and some kind of meat patty. Not sure about the meat, think it's supposed to be salisbury steak. But i am sure mr. salisbury didn't know anything about steak, whoever he was!
