Cakes – Just for you

Smothered Armadillo – Yes Armadillo

1 nice size armadillo – about 3 pounds of meat
2 chopped onions
1 chopped bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 sticks celery, chopped
1 stick butter
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 TBSP flour
1 TBSP worcestershire sauce
1 small can mushrooms
1/2 cup burgundy wine
cajun seasoning

Prepare the armadillo by placing him on his back, cut off it’s head, tail and feet. Remove belly skin. then pass the knife along and around shell and remove it. then clean same as you would a turtle. Wash, then scald the meat. Remove excess fat. Cut up in pieces.

Add butter to a cast iron dutch oven
Add meat and fry until meat is brown
Add all the veggies, saute 5 minutes
Add wine & mushroom juice
Cover the pot and let simmer until the meat is tender, adding water if necessary
Remove meat from pot
Add juices to of flour & water (make a smooth paste)
Also at this time add the onions, parsley, mushrooms & enough water to make gravy
Cook 5 minutes and pour over the meat and serve with white rice.

Just one more thread here to make me really hungry. Everything sounds great!

Oh, be sure to cook your armadillos well done. Besides man, they are the only animal that carries lepracy.

We’re having a homemade feast to celebrate Wiarton Willie’s prediction (Wiarton, Ontario’s groundhog). Like Sundancer, I’m making chicken wings, celery, carrots and cucumber sticks with bleu cheese and key lime sorbet with shortbread cookies for dessert.

As an ap�ritif, I’ll have a sweet vermouth on the rocks with a twist. And drink to world peace.

BING!

Another good movie reference…

Well, ya could always eat lobster and drink pina coladas, that would ba pretty good day.

I like to see a man of advancing years throwing caution to the wind. It’s inspiring in a way.

AND, Yeah, three cheeseburgers, two large fries, two chocolate shakes and a large coke. Is it too early for flapjacks?

My Blushing Bride’s Birthday is Tomorrow (February 2nd…Groundhog Day) We will clebrate with a traditional Cake and Ice Cream (Edy’s Grand, Indy Colt’s Flavor*) w/some of the grandchildren, after going out to dinner (w/o grandchildren)…She hasn’t picked the location yet.[:p]

*Indy Colts Flavor= Fudge Ripple with football-shaped carmel pieces in it.

As a life long resident of Baltimore, I can not tell you how much I hate the Indy Colts; however, that Indy Colts flavor sounds like something I would love.

Not only do the celebrate, but they make a 3 day cricus of the whole thing. There is nothing like getting up at 2 in the morning, treking over to gobbler’s knob by 3 to get a good place you can see the little critter.

Eating, DRINKING and being Merry for 3 hours until the wrangle the cute little critter out of his slumber, hold him up for the world to see, and read Phil’s prediction.

Then go eat and DRINK some more.

It is truly a remarkable event to behold.

Get a duck.. Cut off the neck, and when everyone asks what it is, just say Groundhog. (Should work out good for you with all the leftovers).

We are having chinese food.

that’s so funny. I was just thinking of that movie. In another thread, someone posted a picture of The Luther burger – a burger that uses krispy kreme donuts as the bun. And I couldn’t help but to think of Andie MacDowell’s (Rita) line upon seeing the food on Bill Murray’s (Phil) plate, "I like to see a man of advancing years throwing caution to the wind. It’s inspiring in a way."
