Pictures of the Week

My lovely wife and I went out to eat in Lynchburg yesterday. Went to Texas Roadhouse, first time I'd been there in several years, since well before I retired anyway. It has to be good when the only thing I had to complain about was too much food!

Most of this is at home in the refrigerator now. I ate the small ribeye and skrimps, and a salad, Zina only had a couple of bites of her prime rib.

She had a couple of sips of this margarita, and I finished the rest, along with 2 of those large beers. I hate to waste stuff.

And we went to Elba Butcher Shoppe in Altavista Wednesday because they have a lot of gallon size cans of vegetables. We got everything we needed to make our annual stew, except the potatoes, onions, and the meat. We always get that fresh. We're going to make that Nov. 15th, so y'all drop by and get you some if you're in the area. I know Brocky would love to have a bowl of real Brunswick stew.

Here's some stew from years past -

Looks delicious!

And, to keep things truck related in case gear head grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl is out there, a lot of truck drivers have had this stew, and liked it. And here's a big Mack truck-

The steak is a lot under done for my liking 

Looks like a good feed was had 

Stew was a every day thing as a kid growing up for most people I think, or certainly were I grew up

Always reckon it tasted better the next day, cold on toast

Yeah, my little ribeye was excellent, but I agree on the prime rib. They say that's the only way to eat it, but I like my meat cooked a little more than that. It might be done, but it just doesn't look right🤣. 

However, I do know a prime rib expert, so let's ask his opinion. 1958FWD, take the floor-

I have learned to like my steaks closer to medium than medium well.. A lot more tender!! I Had a friend who like very rare beef.. We were in a group at a fairly fancy restaurant, well on the way of being very tipsy, when the waitress asked how he wanted his steak he said " trim its horns, wipe its a$$, and walk it in" She never batted an eye.. As she was serving us our dinners, the chef walked in with a totally RAW steak on the plate and asked him if he "would like it warmed up?"  As the rest of us were laughing  our a$$ off his wife was ready to kill him!!!!
