Finally: A real MAN'S meal !!

Well, my bride is out of town for a few days, so I decided to make me a meal that I wanted, and to heck with everybody else.
I opted for a flat iron steak, drizzled with balsamic glaze, blue corn - jalapeño hush puppies, and spinach soufflet.
I thought I'd dine in the atrium.
Just me and my puppies.
Close up of the steak and hush puppies
By the way, hush puppies get their name from the War Between the States ( I was 14 before I heard it called other than The War of Northern Aggression). When Yankee troops came close to a Confederate campsite, the Rebs would throw balls of cornbread to their dogs to "hush the puppies". That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

A man's meal? LOL I was expecting to see pics of a nice quiche! With some Lone Star!
Looks good anyway, bud!I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
MichaelCentral Connecticut -
Everything looks great, but it looks like your expecting trouble during dinner (the pistol). Or is that to show the dogs who the real boss is?
-
Myth: Real men don't eat quiche.
Truth: Real men eat whatever they want. -
And a fancy dessert to boot...
-

Adam,
I'm not following your posts. Do we have a problem that I don't know about? :ohmy:__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
Gary,
Sure don't think so. :S
What did I do now? :pinch: -
When my wife goes out of town, here's my meal.Nothing fancy. I'd sure like some of those hush puppies instead
-
Adam,
My question posted before your last post. I didn't understand what the "steer" comment meant, or "he gets the benefit". I know I'm dense, but calling somebody a steer in these parts ain't too complimentary.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
V.I. is correct. "steer" is muy malo.
-
I really believe he was just funnin with ya Gary...and I was just playin along...only in fun...I certainy meant nothing personal..
-
Gary,
I may be alone...but....the reference was (I think Wess is with me)
Texans=a queer or a steer :pinch:
My little mind ASSUMES everyone gets that one. just a little joke Gary.
No offense
I'm sure your neither....at least Wess laughed. 50/50 ain't bad. :P -
I had no idea... :pinch:
Figured queer was muchas mas malo :laugh:
Me and my little back-lit keyboard -
Oh! Well, in that case, I guess I'll be a steer !!! :laugh:
Now I remember the line in An Officer And A Gentleman.
Certainly, no harm done, Adam. Like I said, I'm a little dense. :P__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
Dude...if you use my reply as any validity to any of your posts..there are many on here these days that might send you a gold laced invitiation to my neck tie party...hope that made some sense but I trust you can figure it out..
-
The last thing I followed in this thread was... quiche! :blink:
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
MichaelCentral Connecticut -
Focus on the fountain...breathe deep......ooooohhh aaaaaaahhhh..let your mind relax....feel it drift away....All is good...sorry if our fun offended you..
