Island Of Misfits

[Hippie420]

Learned to cook around '92. Wife was working second shift, and I got tired of seeing my two year old eating Ramen noodles. I had four Borzois at the time, so if something turned out bad, it got eaten anyhoo.
I always cooked enough to feed the kid and me, and enough left over in case the wife was hungry when she got home. I could always tell when I hit on something good, 'cause she'd wake my butt up at 03:30 (when I had to be up at 06:00) with a pen and paper in hand, asking me how I made it. She knew I'd forget the particulars if she waited.
Fast forward to '06 when I retired. Big brother told me I should start a mom & pop restaurant. I told him, "What part of retired don't you understand". "

I love to cook and can cook like a mofo for a small army. Loves my green egg ,cast iron skillets & dutch ovens and the pot I got from Mrs Palmerri 6 years ago !!!

When I cook soups and stews, I cook like I'm feeding a squad. Hard to cook small.
Had a request for clam chowder for later in the week. Love the stuff.

I miss my Old Boys. My next door neighbor and the next one down from him were widowers. Should have seen their eyes light up when I'd take half of what I cooked and shared. Neither one of 'em had home cooking in a long time.
Old buggers went and died on me. Wasn't my cooking, though!

I enjoy experimenting with new stuff and have developed some killer soup recipes that I whomp up in 16 quart batches to freeze in tubs. Cooking the same thing day after day bores the sh*t out of me.

I also like pickling vegetables and am currently experimenting with sous vide as well as cooking under vacuum.

Early PT for my back and neck yesterday, but so far mostly just evaluation with a couple added exercises.

My last brother-in-law died yesterday of heart failure. He was about 80 and was scheduled for a pacemaker tomorrow. My poor sister has outlived three husbands who died of natural causes, two of them after her providing extended caregiving.

Nice ! Last time I made meatballs I bought a 10lb sleeve of chop meat from Restaurant Depot and made over 90 of them.
We take our meatballs seriously where I come from . My brothers and my self identify with meatballs in most situations ..

Graywolf sorry for your loss.

Joe, we gotta talk about your balls sometime. Only one's I make are Swedish meatballs. A restaurant I used to go to (gone now) made the best lasagna meatballs I've ever had. If you cut one in half, it had the smell of an old gym sock that had been left in a locker for a couple of weeks, but tasted like a little slice of heaven.
First time I ate 'em I was in love. Second time, ordered the same with extra meatballs. A little Italian dude (5'4" tops) came stomping out of the kitchen and said in a very unfriendly voice, "What? I no give you enough meatballs?"
I replied, "They're so damn good, I could never get enough."
He got the biggest smile on his face and walked away standing a bit taller. Miss him and that place.

Any idea what was in 'em?

Sorry for your loss, GW.
