Always look forward to seeing what everybody else is cooking and drinking. Gets me some good ideas.

This week is supposed to be seafood. I'm sorry but I got nothing. However, here's a picture of bacon-covered oreos.

It wasn’t looking good as I sautéed the crawfish for the bisque.

As the crawfish tails were simmering we started making it interesting:

Then I started seasoning those Joe Patti’s shrimp for the smoke

Smoked them on the Rec Tec for 30 at 250°, and damn they turned out fantastic.

That looks damn good!

I hurried to the deer stand after the dogs wrapped up the win today but got a pot of chili in the crock pot early this morning.

I’m hoping to put a deer on the ground shortly and finish my night off with a bowl of chili, a glass of woodford and a Texas A&M win while I got a fire roaring in the fireplace.

Not cooking tonight but I did start right after the game with one of my favorite beers, Sierra Nevada's Celebration IPA. Rather appropriate name for today!

Fried bologna and cheese and Mom's Mexican Cornbread made with cream corn, eggs, extras diced chilies, eggs, flour, and Mexican style cheese that's all except some Evan Willams 1783.

Can’t add this update in the original post for some reason.

Forget the baked potatoes, green beans, and mac and cheese the wife fixed for sides. Bbq bologna sandwich with cheese and Cheetos is hitting the spot after drinking all day.

Thanks a lot man I have been looking for something special to make with card for me and the Mrs. and I am sick of fish and chips recipes. With the cooks we have on here I really wish we had a separate place to share and keep recipes because they're very different than anything you would find at least in my neck of the woods.

That looks really good man. The last batch I made I found some really good shrimp that actually tasted great for Texas. Once you get used to eastern Gulf of Mexico shrimp it's hard to like brown shrimp. We definitely don't get an enough good oysters to put them in a gumbo
