What Are You Eating Right Now!!!

[Green Squall]

farmers market re-opened for the season this morning. got some peaches & cream corn on the cob, a basket of tiny red taters, a cantaloupe that smells wonderful, and a huge green tomato. sliced the 'mater up & fried it, had eggs over easy, a fist full of bacon, and some really thick-cut multi-grain bread toasted & slathered with good butter. these strawberries are plumb ugly, but lots more flavor than the "pretty" ones we normally get stuck with. gonna have the corn, a pan of corn bread, and probably some fried red taters (mmmm, starches i aint supposed to eat ) and onions at supper. gotta remember to pick up some heavy cream to whip for the strawberries. cantaloupe will prob get the knife at breakfast in the morning...

They just cancelled our farmers market for the 2022 season. I guess their reasoning is the site where its held will be getting a facelift in anticipation for the centenial celebration next year, so the genius committee suggested it be moved to a "parking lot" which is an absolute bonehead suggestion. I guess there are a few other small ones within driving distance, but nothing that compares to the size of this one.

most, if not all, of those we caught are called "sand tigers" along the Carolina coast. never did look them up for a positive ID. used to be difficult to fish for kings over there because of the danged hammerheads. they play hell on the tackle used to target mackerel. the few reports i've gotten from the coast these days tell me that the shark population is crashing/crashed, just like biologists have been warning. if you believe any msm, asian longline fleets are killing incredible numbers of sharks solely for their fins to make a popular soup...

Tail-end of the deep-fried self-abuse celebratory series of meals... at least for a day or 2.

Deep-fried breaded Alaska cod with our homemade tartar sauce, our own deep-fried French fries from the Satina spuds from last year's harvest (this year's seed spuds are on the way, and I was able to get several varieties that are more common to our farming history), and deep-fried organic breaded white button-top mushrooms, a bitter melon smoothie, and some more cold chaga tea.

Had more of the organic salad mid-afternoon with a half of a Ruben sandwich, made with uncured beef pastrami, dark rye bread (half-toasted), organic raw sauerkraut (drained well), Jarlsberg Norwegian Swiss cheese, avocado mayonnaise, and a bit of extra hot horseradish with the mayo, then toasted/roasted open face under the broiler until the Swiss cheese shows numerous golden-brown spots, then slam the 2 together, cut it in half, and hand the other half to your spouse, telling them, "Now don't ask me for anything for Mother's Day." (Just kidding. Sharing the half of a Ruben with my wife helps to reduce the inherent carbohydrates by 50%... .and she's more than earned it.

I'm still barely hovering at my recently accepted holding weight, and frankly, it has me a bit concerned, though not like it did when I dropped about 65 lbs. a bit before surgery last year.

Re. the sharks, I sorted drag shrimp in the end of 1978 for a bit, and with drag fisheries/trawlers (a filthy stinking unethical fishery if there ever was, and that's being overly kind and generous to the bastards!), we'd get -everything- that the giant nets found on the bottom of the ocean, and if they're targeting something as small as cocktail shrimp or slightly larger, that meant that EVERYTHING the net passed over and trapped was coming up. "By-catch" is what the folks in fisheries management called it. 'Criminal wanton waste' and the product of money and lobbyists in federal government is what we call it.

But in that mess they'd bring us, we'd find sand shark, Irish lord, yellow eye, other rock fish like what we know as black sea bass, our version of flounder (a true shit fish, not the same as East Coast flounder, though similar in appearance), and everything else you can think of.

I've had salmon shark (they get up to 20 ft. sometimes) smoked with everything from peppermint schnapps in the brine, to more customary brines. It has more texture and is firmer, but it was quite tasty.

Something tells me if I got a boat we would either be swimming in good food or we would end up like the SS Minnow in Gilligan's island and no Mary Ann or Ginger.be like Jaws.were gonna need a bigger boat!

not going on a "seefood" diet, are you?

 

[Three Berries]

Been experimenting with a sugar free Keto chocolate bar/frosting/fudge depending on consistency of the final product recipe. Using Coconut oil (hard at room temp, butter and a dash of olive oil. Heat and add cocoa powder and mix. Add Stevia to taste for sweetener, beware package instructions.

Then I add unsweetened cocoanut flakes sometime peanut butter.. Spread it on a sheet of parchment paper and chill to hard. Then slice and dice at room temp to see how the consistency is. The Olive oil and peanut butter make them more buttery, coconut oil harder. Some butter is salted too and that will affect the taste.

I certainly did hawk .. it's quite gamey if the roo is an older animal but we generally shoot the younger bucks and it's mainly the tail i eat . cook it down over a few hours and all that ligament melts and becomes very glutinous . a bit like lamb neck or lamb shanks . bloody delicious mate !
just made a spag bol with lamb mince , tomatoes and capsicum .. that too was bloody delicious !

 

[shithawk420]
