Popular Post other dog Posted Saturday at 04:40 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 04:40 PM My lovely wife and I went out to eat in Lynchburg yesterday for our third anniversary. 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- 7 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

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- 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Brocky Posted Saturday at 09:43 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 09:43 PM 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!!!! 4 4 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76048-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-584369 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rib-eye covered the whole plate and was thick, I asked for medium-well done, it was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. It took me a while to finish it, a few beers to wash it down and I was full as a NZ gumboot. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76048-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-584379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brocky Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM During our 2015 Down Under tour of Australia as our bus was approaching Rockhampton our lady bus driver knew of a famous pub, which I can not remember the name of, and the tour director was able to make reservations and the bus driver was able to park close by and they fed the 30 of us some of the best steaks, which they called Prime Rib, we had ever had.. By this time we had made good friends with her and needless to say her steak went on one of our bills!! Ironically the next day at Tony Champion's she met some people she knew, and by the time the trip was over she was fully diagnosed with "Tired Iron Fever"!! Part of her tip was a years membership to both ATHS and ATCA.. 3 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76048-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-584383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted yesterday at 05:31 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 05:31 PM I always order a steak medium, and the one I had was good. It was the smallest ribeye on the menu at 12 oz. I have cooked a few steaks in my time that were perfectly done, and I'll be the first to say that it was completely by accident. More often than not it would be under cooked or overcooked. Under cooked ain't bad, you can always put it back on the grill, but you can't undo overcooking it. And, again, when I put one back on the grill because it was undercooked I usually end up over cooking it. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted 22 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 22 hours ago My son, daughter in law, and grandson dropped by today. My daughter in law had visited Scotland recently and she brought me a bottle of 12 year old Scotch. Very nice. It wasn't like a huge bottle or anything, but I'm not much of a liquor drinker anyway. And a bottle of mead... whatever mead is. I tasted mead before, our UPS guy is a bee keeper and he gave us a taste of some of his blueberry mead, it wasn't bad stuff. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Yeah, that's probably where it'll end up, collecting dust on a shelf. I still have a fifth of Makers Mark that someone gave me about 10 years ago that I've never opened. I've opened many bottles of Jim Beam and Crown Royal, but not the Makers Mark. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
