What are you making tonight?

[epilogue]

thinking about maybe jambalaya or gumbo

Is it normal to start making gumbo or jambalaya this late in the day? I’m not insinuating anything, I just assumed those are both “get up at 5am” sorts of dishes. Like Tonkotsu.

Yeah neither really needs all day. I'm not saying that using the entire day is a bad call. I'm sure there are some purists out there that would say we're not making the real dishes in 2 hours or whatever. But it's just a bunch of delicious stuff in a pot.

Either way, we ended up doing a shrimp an and andouille pasta instead.

Moreso I'm just surprised that you had all the stuff for gumbo on hand, or were looking to begin gathering ingredients at 3:15 in the afternoon. Usually I know what I'm doing for dinner by noon or I'll end up doing something pretty simple with pantry/freezer staples.

It's not hard to go to the store after 3pm.

Yeah but it's not fun either.

I don't find it to be any better or worse than any other time.

Obviously you fools have never known the glory of grocery shopping during a 1 pm Eagles game

[epilogue]

Oh we're including obvious "goes without saying" special times/occassions?

In that case, 1am on a Tuesday at any 24 hour Price Chopper in suburban Kansas can't be beat!

i hit up trader joe's at the 8am opening time and hit up von's(albertsons) by 7am

[Mickey]

Where I'm at, I have two options--I can walk to grab groceries (~40 minutes round trip) or I can take the car. The former means limiting myself to what I can carry; the latter means having to deal with parking. Each option is easier in the morning, either because it means avoiding the heat of the day or getting back at a time when parking is still reasonable. If I do a late-afternoon grocery run it's either because I've already started cooking and ran out of something, or I've already planned to make a very easy meal that night.

[epilogue]

All of that is totally reasonable and makes good sense for your situation.

[Mickey]

Yeah that's fucking right it does, trag!

Grilled spare ribs

3-2-1 method?

Nah. Actually this

This was a disaster. Damn grill fire.

go on...

mistake no. 1: i used a gas grill (i was short on time). mistake no. 2: i let my guard down for one second, even though i was aware of the constant flareups because of the fat in the ribs, and the next thing i know the grill is spewing black smoke (i opened the grill and the grate is all flames).

i did manage to salvage most of the ribs (luckily they were bone side down). but they were still sooty.

Grilled thighs, grilled zucchini and mashed potatoes

Changed it up. No zucchini and having fried squash instead.
