Roasted Peppers


I'm on a roasted pepper kick. I've probably roasted a dozen red bell peppers this week. I did eight today because I want to try that pepper gratin recipe that I was talking about last week. I'll peel them and slice them tomorrow. I also made pickles.

Bike Week prep - we now have a cocktail shaker. We'll need it for "Cocktail of the Day". And I got the recipe for those pineapple upside down cake shots. Mmmmmmm.

I'm a dufus

All the pics of the pig roast that were emailed to me just weren't usable. They had a lot of faces in them and I didn't feel comfortable putting them up. Oh well. But am I a dufus or what? I get invited to a food event and I don't bring my camera.

Ricky and I have something planned for the blog during Bike Week. Nobody else really cares, but we'll have fun.

Piggy


My fat pants are tight on me. It's at the point where I have to DO something so it looks like it's back to low carb. So for two weeks I can't eat cereal, pasta, fruit, potatoes, sugar . . . and on and on. There isn't too much I can eat besides meat, fish, and veggies.

So I'm sitting here trying to think of what to buy on my Sunday trip to Publix. I'm having steak on the grill for dinner. I don't know if it's gonna be salad or brussel sprouts as an accompaniment. I'm gonna grill a shitload of red peppers with the steaks. I found a recipe for a red pepper gratin and I can eat it.

I went to a pig roast last night in New Smryna with a woman I work with, Marilyn. They did the pig in a pit. (They actually killed it themselves too, but that's another story) Marilyn stuffed it with rice and pineapple. I forgot my freakin' camera and I could have gotten some great pics. They had massive amounts of food. I had baked beans with bacon, a very tasty broccoli casserole ( I have to ask for the recipe), homemade cole slaw, and so much other stuff. The dessert table wasn't too shabby either. I had something called sex cake which was delectable and another cake called a Harvey Wallbanger cake. I also tasted some smooth moonshine.

I spent a good amount of time talking to a woman who was taking pics and she said she'll email me some, so hopefully I'll have a pic of the piggy.
