Displaced Texan

You're alright for a yankee!!!

I also make a mean gumbo. I don't use okra, I make a roux gumbo. Love that deep, dark color and flavor. One of my favorite things in life is an oyster PO-boy. Damn.... Duck, don't get me started on duck. I love it.

Yep. Only as an occasional indulgence when I am being nostalgic about my Navy days.

The biggest problem with poultry sausages are dryness. I use a ratio of 2-1 dark meat to white meat. The higher fat content of the dark meat keeps the sausage moist and juicy. I made a big batch of crawfish boudin last year, damn that was tasty!!!

I make several types of sausage. Deer, pork, chicken, and on occasion, seafood sausage.

I make my own sausage. I kinda like to have control of what goes into it... I want to start curing my own bacon too.

Mrs. DT hates it too.

Hey, don't underestimate a chunk of pan fried spam... We called that square pig back in my submarine days.

That pork roll/Taylor ham crap y'all eat tastes like bologna gone bad to me.... <<ducking for cover

Oh yeah, I've PM'd the crap out of Peel. I think she hates me now.

Wow, that's a powerful story. Thanks for sharing that.

THATS where you land the chopper. If a picture of an Iowa class firing all guns at once doesn't give every red blooded American male a raging erection, I don't know what will... Even as a submariner....I'll be in my bunk...

The way I understand it (remember, I'm a submariner, so I'm limited what I know about the surface navy), the cruise missle killed the big iron. A monkey can put a Tomahawk or Harpoon missle on target, and you can carry a metric assload of them on various different types of platforms (including submarines). The range on a cruise missle is MUCH greater, too. The sheer shock and awe from a battleship, however, will likely never be matched. Extremely impressive.

If Bruno meets a skunk (which is known to happen out there), it will be an uncomfortable ride home...

THAT part I figured out!!! I think I've got HE figured out. Lol

I am afraid Mrs DT will frown upon me picking either one...

My event will involve planes, trains, and automobiles (well, planes and automobiles anyway) to a remote location in west Texas. It WILL require serious planning. Guns, cigars, whiskey, and of course, ice cream will be included.

H.E. needs to get off the stick, so I can schedule my event. Just wouldn't do to have the two events conflict. Just sayen...

Y'all have fun today. I am at Peddlers Village supporting my wife's craft business. Come on by and say howdy if you're in the neighborhood.

The old heavy iron was pretty impressive. They could lob the equvilent of a Volkswagen onto a target 20something miles away.

Love a full sized AR. Smoooooooooth shooting!

I am rather enjoying watching Mrs. Zeke slap her husband around. I just hope my wife doesn't decide to join this board, and get some ideas....

We will look the other way...

Purses, jewelry, it's all the same.

Lol, yeah, Zeke, get it right. I'm helping my wife with her craft jewelry business at a show in New Hope. Somebody has to be the pack mule....
