stopped at a bbq stand in the hood in memphis on the way home and got some grilled wings. was my first time to try the place out because well the time changed and to put it simply it ain't exactly a great location and it s daylight at this time. I will be back heck maybe tomorrow for ribs. I also picked up a cheap single malt bottle of scotch. 40 dollars cheapest i could find... whiskey/bourbon is too sweet for me these days... i suspect there will be some more food involved and possibly some irish celebrations

[oldwave]

Fresh crappie and cold beer .

[mstatefan91]

Frozen pizza and cold Budweiser lol

Tomorrow will probably involve better food

The wife wanted something different. I'm sure I'll get jobbed on the subject line. Anyway, loaded baked Italian sandwiches, clam chowder, lobster bisque, coors light and a bottle of JR Ewing to sip on. If we get through that and do a little time traveling, got a bottle of scotch and tequila in case it gets a little crazy.

my type of day

Cadaver,
Blanton on the rocks is a solid start to the weekend. Thumbs Up

Beardo,
tried to give you a +1 for the Boondock Saints gif but I must spread more reputation... Ron Jeremy as a mobster is so terribly awesome and they had him get whacked in the most perfect way

[BrunswickDawg]

Kept it simple and grilled some burgers. No festivities tonight -

The Embassy Burger. I managed to sneak over last week and grab one.



Backstory: Our meals here are contracted by a logistics provider, not unlike KBR in the old days. This Iraq, however, is not like previous iterations. We are on the CHEAP, as we are here "helping" the Iraqis, not actively fighting *cough*. So our chow hall is too small for the population it serves, and we have one of the better ones here. The way they make burgers is to cook them early in the day, then hold them in hot water, putting a short "sear" on them prior to serving.

Disgusting is too nice a word to use for the texture and taste.

Enter the United States Embassy, Baghdad, Iraq. The same contractor that provides our meals also provides the Embassy's, but they apparently have the bigger fridge and get the A-team staff. They make a griddle seared, cooked to order burger, hand formed patty, cheese, mushrooms, and fresh baked bread bun. Yea, it is as good as it sounds. Especially when all you can get on our side of the street is a boiled burger shaped patty that make McD's look like Shake Shack.
