Photographs…not the Def Leppard song, though, sorry

Ok, I know the song is actually Photograph, singular not plural with the s. Deal with it. That’s how I roll.

Anyway, I got a new phone that does coooool things like take pictures and keep me organized and let’s me play scrabble while driving down I-40 at 85 miles per hour. So look with your eyeholes and leave comments with your fleshy letter poking hand sticks

Grilled Cheese Pretzels?!?!?!

This is another chapter in my book “I’m Lovin’ This Panini Grill Thingy.” It goes like this:

It was a dark and stormy night. Iwashungry ad raided the freezer, finding a tucked away box of SuperPretzels from the grocer’s freezer section. These are hot pretzels with a little salt packet that you pop into the oven for a minute or two and then dip in cheese or mustard ranch dressing mixed with hot sauce. ANyway, i took two of the suckers, stuck a piece of cheese in between them and tucked them gently in to the Bad Assed Panini Grill Thingy. The results were, to say the least, munch-i-licious.  Like a grilled cheese, but with more salt. Needless to say, they went rather well with a cold adult beverage. I reckon one could make this without the Bad Assed Panini Grill Thingy, but that would just be stupid.

Spicy Grilled Chicken Fingers

Let’s see. I got me some chicken and some liquids just chock full of flavor. I cut the chicken up and let it take a bath in the alchemical mixture of the aforementioned liquid yummies. The contents of the marinade are a little off the beaten path. The Bragg’s products were introduced by MrsSteveishungry in her attempt to free our children from artificial food additives. They cider vinegar is awesome, almost a little like malt vinegar. The soy sauce alternative basically mimics soy sauce but has more of an earthy balance of flavor, and the added bonus of an alleged health benefit. Google them if you are interested. The secret vinegar hot sauce was a gift from MommaSteveishungry’s beau on the occasion of the Winter Solstice/Birth of Horace/Christmas/Kwanzaa/ Festivus/ Feast of Alvis( oh you aren’t aware of the Feast of Alvis? its only the best holiday since beer and handjob day…check this out, ya dam infidels!!   http://video.adultswim.com/sealab-2021/feast-of-alvis.html       ..anywho, back to the sauce…it came from a looooooooooow key BBQ  joint encountered by the Momma and the Beau on one of their Travels…he convinced the cook to fill an empty bottle with this delicious vinegar and peppery hot sauce BBQ sauce thingy concoction…this is the unlabeled bottle in the pics…’tis thin and spicy and peppery and just a touch of tomatoey i reckon, but ’tis only a guess…so , i think i was talking about chicken, mmm, but seriously, go watch the damn video!!! Sooooooo,   After a night resting in the briney deep, i threw the little buggers on to a raging hot grill for 3-4 minutes a side, giving them a final dousing of the secret vinegar sauce before rescuing them from the grill. Not too spicy, not too charred, very nice on a salad tomorrow, or maybe a sandwich for the missus lunch box.
