Love me some Jambalaya. Lance, you need to fire up the smoker and make some Tasso - highly seasoned and highly smoked pork. Excellent addition to Jambalaya

fish & chips: procured from a local dive here on the moonbase (recently opened). what you cannot see off camera is the swank babe i'm dining with, plus the delicious cocktails we were using to wash down this fine meal.

Very simple dinner for an 85 degree late afternoon in California. Short ribs with “Jack Daniels” bbq sauce (store bought). Tried making Fried rice for the 1rst time. Not bad, needs a little tweaking. Washed it down with a “Pacifico” and a Rum and coke made with Mt. Gay Black Barrel.
Nice outside.
Cheers

Gotta satisfy that sweet tooth!
Key Lime Cake but instead of the usual cream cheese Meyer’s rum frosting I am trying a ginger syrup flavored buttercream and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
Might be too sweet-we’ll see.
Cheers
Edited to add pic. Much too sweet. Going back to plan “A”

There's no such thing as "too sweet", it's a dessert for cryin' out loud!  I like the ginger addition.

Hi Mike,
I think I served myself too big a slice. I may up the butter to sugar ratio and even try more Ginger syrup in the mix. Might need to “reduce “ the syrup by cooking it longer or the the frosting will be too thin. Ginger root definitely has found a spot in my kitchen. We’re eating Huli Huli Chicken couple times a week now-can’t stop
Later,
David

Dave, just for the record ~ there is no such thing as "too big" a slice of cake either. I don't have a sweet tooth, I have a 32 of them

Beignets...
... and a pitcher of fresh Lime Rickeys!
A friend recently moved to a new place, and I visited it for the first time last week. He had some sort of a citrus tree out front that looked like it was bulging with never-picked fruit. I asked him what the tree was, and he said "I don't know. Like, a lemon or a lime or something." We investigated and it was the biggest, ripest lime tree I've ever seen. We cut one fruit open and it gushed out a pale sweet, barely sour pale green lime juice. I now have his permission to take whatever fruit I want because he told me with a stern face -
and I quote -
"I don't like lime juice."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the Beignets, that was the one thing missing from my last Cajun dinner.
