Chick-Fil-A------named one of the Top Ten Sandwiches in the US by Esquire Magazine.

"A come-to-Jesus sandwich. Chick-fil-A's seasoned, breaded breast served on a toasted buttered bun with dill-pickles. Deceptively simple, yet transcendent. The hook is the breading: spicy, with an intoxicating crunch. The meat is always juicy, never chewy. The first bite changes everything you think you know about chicken."

Spicy w/ pepperjack cheese version. Breaded boneless breast of chicken pressure cooked in peanut oil and served on toasted, buttered bun with dill pickle chips. Can also order a "chicken club" with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and bacon. Available on a Golden Wheat bun.

Chick-Fil-A waffle fries are deelish.

Laz has some great recipes for tree bark and grubs.

Right now, I'm unwinding with an Oliva V cigar and one, or more, of my infamous Killer Margaritas. Later, we're going to enjoy a couple of fabulous turkey salads we get from a local health food restaurant. Don't let the health food part throw you, they're fantastically good, and neither my wife or I feel much like cooking after a long, hot week of work.
Now tomorrow, I'll BBQ a rack of baby back ribs, along with my Cajun potato salad and baked beans, washed down with as many Shiner Bocks as necessary. After another cigar and some more margaritas, of course.

Hamburger, veggies w/dip, SWEET iced tea and Activia for dessert. Boring!!

One Boston butt, and a bag of charcoal feeds me for a couple of days.

You're not the only that has a desire for Boston butt...

Sorry, really sorry... wasn't going to go there... sorry!

Gin and tonic (Bombay Sapphire) while waiting for my husband to grill the pork chops.

Tonight I am having thick NY strips on the grill marinated overnight in a full bottle of Veri Veri Teriyaki Sauce, which is the best marinade on the planet.

Will also be grilling corn on the cob wrapped in aluminum foil with a pat of real butter. Same with asparagus. As well, will be grilling some hot peppers (directly on grill).

On the stove top will be some Near East rice with garlic and herb. Once this is done, the hot peppers will be sliced and mixed into the rice along with a few tablespoons of extra virgin Colavita olive oil.

Hence, you have one of the best summertime meals on the planet. Along with a pitcher or two of Patron Silver margaritas.

The NY strip was purchased from the butcher shop. Yes, much more expensive than supermarket meat but at the same time, still cheaper than going to some chain steakhouse like Outback or Longhorns.

Of course, Friday night is only the beginning of the weekend. We are doing a clambake on Saturday with a pot of steamed clams and a pail or two of 2 pound lobsters along with plenty of steamed corn on cob lots of beer.

On Sunday, we will probably smoke a couple racks of ribs with rice, hot peppers and another pitcher or two (or three) of Patron Silver margaritas.

The backyard is freshly mowed and plenty of lawn chairs to get some serious reading done. The portable satellite radio will be cranking on the picnic table with a choice of 150 or so commercial free music stations.

Books. I have a stack of books to tackle this weekend. A book on the Secret Service, that biography of Steve Wozniak, a couple of novels and a book about Fred Harvey, the guy who opened the first chain of restaurants out in the American West just over a century ago.

I figure to gain a few pounds but it is summertime and it's time to start storing up some fat for the long New England winter ahead.

How can you drink Yeti beer? It's got to be the bitterest beer I've ever had.

Oh, and we're having Copper River sockeye salmon, with maple syrup/butter glaze, fresh asparagus with olive oil, sea salt, and parmesan cheese, and butterflake rolls. Washed down with Vernor's ginger ale.

[goat granny]

sounds close to what I had as a child, mayonaise sandwich. That was it, just mayo...I now have a cup of coffee on one side and a pepsi on the other with a chocolate chip cookie in front of me...

[angcat]

Pizza and Kendall Jackson.
