Pork chops and bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers!

hmm, I wonder if I can brave the wind to try grillin outside already.... a little too cold and windy for my bones yet.

Since this is a thread about trying new recipe's I got to ask, anyone watch cooking shows when you were a kid (nothing better on the whopping 4 channels we got in the country) - Julia Childs kinda stuff... I have yet to try her boeuf bourguignon .... it's on my someday list... not much of a fine french chef - more a bbq, bacon, and burgers guy.

I use to watch the cooking shows on public TV when younger. That turn into the Food Network in my older years.

Most of what I know just came from being in the kitchen while parents and grandparents made dinner. I had to start cooking pretty early after the parents divorced. Mom worked a mid shift and wasn't home at dinner time most nights.

I get much of my inspiration watching the likes of triple D... triple G... and Bobby Flay. I dont always have an endless food budget so I do a lot of improvising with what's on hand.

We probably haven't eaten out 10 times in the last year... my wife doesn't cook so it falls on me. I really don't mind... I love to cook and love to cook for others.

I seldom watch cooking shows. My wife was the default cook. When the boys were still at home she cooked nightly when I worked, but I cooked on weekends. Since she passed away I cook daily. I love cooking Mexican, Thai, and Bar-B-Q. Cooking for one means leftovers 2 out of 3 nights. Uncle Gump has his mojo working!

... I love to cook and love to cook for others.

My love for cooking grew out of my love for eating… which would be fine if I also had a love for exercising.

Portion controlled left over spaghetti for lunch. The wife is making us eat whole wheat pasta these days... not nearly as good as the real stuff.

I'm right there with ya...

I am hoping to be down 30lbs by the weekend though.

30lbs in 3 days is a pretty aggressive goal.

30lbs in 3 days is a pretty aggressive goal.

More like three months...

Sadly... I was a fat bastage and have a way to go yet.

 

[Uncle Gump]

Correction... AM a fat bastage

Carry on...

Except I’m blessed with a naturally high metabolism and like working on stuff so I’m always busy and that’s enough to keep me from getting too fat. Plus I don’t really care for sweets…
