First off, let me take a moment aside to wish all the mom's here on myLot a very happy Mother's Day. Kick your feet up, take a load off, and let the men and kiddies take over the day's needs. This is your day and you've...

Off to Sugarfire

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 7 May

If you don't know what Sugarfire is, it's a small, local chain around here that serves up delicious smoky barbecue. It's not the best place in town. I'd give that crown to Beast Craft. But it's still good food and...

Last Night's Eats

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 5 May

I know, I know, when I tell you that braised pork steak was for dinner last night, even though I have been gone from here a couple of months, everyone will be highly shocked. What? Pork steak? You'd never! But that was...

Well, Chinese It Would Seem

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 28 Dec

It's Sunday. I don't feel like cooking. To hell with it. We'll have Chinese delivered. Hey, it's always good, and tomorrow I will just have to dive into the stock market to find a way to pay for it as I always do. Boy, the guy...

To all those who are actually having their Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day, happy Thanksgiving—happy Thanksgiving to anyone not having a Thanksgiving dinner today as well. We will have our gathering on the 29th, and...

I Call it Dirty Rice

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 25 Nov

It's not really "dirty rice," at least not in the traditional sense, but whatever you might call in "real life," all I can say is that it's good eats, and in the end, whatever it might be named, that's really all that matters,...

Egg in the Middle Was a Perfect Dinner

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 15 Nov

I almost forgot to post about it. Well, actually I did forget since I did not actually post about it. I'm talking about our egg in the middle we had for dinner on Thursday that I had mentioned I was planning to make in...

Manwich Baked Chicken Thighs???

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 12 Nov

Make something normal for dinner? Oh, come now. That would defy everything I stand for. I am having enough of a hard time with @FourWalls introducing a series of instrumentals which I thought for sure would endlessly torture me...

Egg in the Middle

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 9 Nov

It was a "classic" breakfast that my grandmother used to make for me when I was a kid, and I do recall making it myself several times as an adult. Although, it's been a hot minute, as some might put it. But it so happens...

Baked Barbecue Chicken Thighs

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 30 Oct

Sometimes I really like the simplicity of baked chicken thighs. That's probably why we eat them so often, despite the real reason being they're good, and you can season them up a few different ways, so it changes things up quite a...

My Own Mac and Cheese

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 27 Oct

I get mac and cheese really cheap at Ruler. Just 49 cents a box. But I have recently resorted to just going back to making my own. To me it's not that much more expensive, and it's cheesier. So, that's my side for tonight's...

Winner, Winner, Three Chicken Dinners

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 24 Oct

Stretching budgets is so important these days. Not that it wasn't always important. But certainly inflation—which happened long ago by the way, just in case someone wanted to go there—has made being creative all the more...

One thing about this wonderful little world here we call myLot, is that we tend to share a lot of foodie posts. That means there are always myriad ideas of things to cook or try to keep us well occupied in our kitchens. Take this...

Fish Fry Sunday

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 14 Oct

Oh yeah. Fish fry. I meant to post this yesterday, but I guess time got away from me, and then I got sucked into the rabbit hole some people call YouTube. But it was a fish fry night Sunday night, and as it always is, was...

Call it Weird, I Don't Care...It's GOOD!

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 10 Oct

I have been called out from time to time about my "infamous" concoctions, but of course, these criticisms usually come from palates that never set a fork to a single plate of any concoction I have ever made. I think outside the...

We'll Call it Chicken and Rice Slop

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 7 Oct

There are times when I think, 20 years ago when I met my wife, thank God she came with an iron stomach, because some of the things I make for dinner definitely require that. Okay, truth be told, a lot of this "slop" stuff is...

Poor Man's Spanish Rice

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 6 Oct

I love Spanish rice, but when I eat it, it's hardly ever Spanish rice in the traditional sense. But what I make is still very good, and now I am resorting to calling it Poor Man's Spanish Rice. Okay. I'm not poor. But I do...

Do You Parboil Your Brats?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 5 Oct

I love brats and Italian sausages, I'm not going to lie. Perhaps it's the German in me. We like our wurst. Wir sind Deutsche. Wir mögen unsere Wurst. Es ist einfach gutes Essen. Hopefully Google Translate did that...

Is This the Taste Test that Time Forgot?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 25 Sep

So, remember those Banquet pot pies I picked up not long ago? Tonight’s the grand unveiling. The oven’s doing its thing, and in a few minutes, we’ll find out if nostalgia holds up or if I’ve been romanticizing frozen gravy. I...

We're About to Get Our Crunch On

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 23 Sep

For years on myLot I have talked about these and touted them. Perhaps I should receive a commission for any potentially sold? Tortilla forms that turn ordinary flour tortillas into crispy taco salad bowls, and they are delicious...
