[Maroonag1]

Whoa...

Big families.
Thursday is Mom's family at her house, then Dad's side and a bunch of friends are coming to my house Saturday for the A&M game.

 

[pkondz]

To all my US friends...

 

[Maroonag1]

Hope everyone is recovered from their food comas.

 

[Maroonag1]

Ribs and armadillo eggs on the pit from Saturday game day.

 

[dvczerfs]

Hope everyone had a good holiday. I had to work, we all aren’t on vacation in Florida. lol.
I do have two, four day weekends coming up in December. Some mandatory overtime before that but that’s fine, extra Christmas cash.
It’s also a little chilly down here. You people in the north need to come down here, your weather is in my backyard and drunk, you need to take it back with you.

Dang that looks good. But... what's an armadillo egg?

Hope everyone had a good holiday.

Holiday? You mean November 11?

Not too shabby.

Pay for my airfare and I'll come and fetch it.

If you let me job shadow for a day, I'll pick up the drunk weather man and let him freeze his baguettes off here in Chicago.

lol. If you can guarantee me you can take this weather with you, give me 80 degrees again, I fly you first class. lol.
I like working holidays. I worked Thursday, met up with the family at LeCellier for lunch, they had a turkey etc. I had a filet. lol. Then I went to work.
Same for Christmas. I’m off the 21,22,23,24. I won’t start till 3:15 on Christmas. We’ll have Christmas dinner on the 24th.
I get double time for working the holiday plus a paid floating vacation day.
You get use to celebrating holidays on not quite the same day everyone else does but they do take care of us. AND, they feed us too. lol. AND our raise is coming through in a few weeks. Whooooot Whoooooot.

Job shadow? It’s pretty easy. You’re basically a babysitter that has to do paperwork. lol. You’ll say, a million times, where is ……. No, I didn’t see it…….who? ………… What the………… Yes, we gave you a receipt……… ER? Hahahahahahahahaha………. Now who called out……… Why is the A/C still on? ………….. No heat?…………… I’m going to break, I might come back……..
One of the kids walked by me the other day, she said, “ Hey, what’s up”?
I said my blood pressure, that’s what’s up. lol.

I absolutely guarantee it. 100%.
For a first class ticket south, I'll guarantee anything.

I don't mind working holidays, generally. They're usually slower, which is nice.
Your day sure started off well.

Same for Christmas. I’m off the 21,22,23,24. I won’t start till 3:15 on Christmas. We’ll have Christmas dinner on the 24th.
I get double time for working the holiday plus a paid floating vacation day.

I don't think I have any time off before Christmas. Maybe a day off a couple days after?
We don't get double time, but we do get 4 hours extra pay... and we get days off in lieu that we can use at any time.

Raise is a good thing.

Too warm?

Jalapeno, filled with cheese, ground sausage, wrapped in bacon. (Some people use cream cheese, I prefer a pimento cheese, or a yellow cheese)

So the jalapeño is hollowed out. Not as spicy?
Sounds amazing either way.

Yeah, you slice them in half and pull out most of the seeds. You can scrape the inside down to make it have no spice or leave some of the membrane to add some heat depending on your taste.

Ooooohhh I’ll be shivering with snot dripping out of my nose.
They close the parks for a hurricane but leave it open for these disasters.

sliced in half... so not cored out. The bacon keeps everything from spilling out, I guess? The sausage meat is raw or precooked?
Might want to try this. Although I'm not positive if I can get jalapenos up here.

Is this a good time to say I went for a run the other day... because it was warm enough at -2F? (I won't run below about -10F, though)

Yup, slice the stem off split them longways and scrape them out. A grapefruit spoon works great for that.
Raw sausage and yes the bacon holds it together as long as you wrap them up good.
