How the heck should I know?? Do I look like Giada de Laurentiis? Ha ha, don't answer that. No really, don't answer that.
In case you are interested, I'm predicting Jeff Mauro, the guy on the right, but any of these three will do the network proud.
Because it is Sunday, after all, and the road trip to Savannah did not pan out - 97 degrees with high humidity is not walking weather, even for a faux Floridian like me - we ran to Publix (actually drove sedately in my Expedition), picked up a few things and headed back for cooking. The heat may be outdoors, but it has affected my state of mind, which means the cooking is gonna be fast and easy. Precut barbecue ribs roasting slowly in the oven, and I'm using Sticky Fingers Sweet Carolina Barbecue Sauce. My home fried potatoes and I used canned diced potatoes. Don't wrinkle your nose, they are delicious. I made devilled eggs for the boys to munch for lunch (no, I did not boil the eggs myself) and I have a bag of frozen mixed cauliflower and broccoli to dress up with a sauce I will no doubt create out of items in my pantry. I made a bechamel sauce just yesterday, folks, give me a break!
I decided to forego defrosting the chicken wings, and just threw 'em into the oven with garlic butter, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Eventually they'll be almost done, so I'll drain the liquid and pour on the wing sauce. Same thing I'm doing with the ribs, which are oiled and heavily seasoned, baking away merrily for a couple of hours, getting tender. I admit they are not Thompson Brother's quality, but nothing else is. My buddy Tony, his partner Rodney, and their son were in Atlanta this weekend and they made it to Thompson Brothers. And loved it. Does my heart good to spread the good news.
Here's a scary story - a woman in Texas is fired for refusing to color her naturally gray hair. Say what?
Since I went gray two years ago, I have gotten a whole lot of compliments. And not once have I been threatened with termination for refusing to color it. Maybe it does make me look older, but who am I trying to fool?
