Bachelor Night

This post is a little late, but this past Friday night my wife and daughter were out of town, which left me to have a bachelor night. As it turned out, there was a preseason NFL game on. The Tennessee Titans were playing the Dallas Cowboys at the new Cowboy Stadium.

The above picture is what I fixed myself for supper. It was pretty damn good. Here's the recipe: (1) large size Stouffer's lasagna, (1) can green beans, (2) slices of texas toast, (1) six-pack of Bud Light. Not a bad meal for bachelor night while watching the game.

It's Not Rocket Science!

Why is it that when my wife shops for groceries, she spends $150 + and I am able to make it in and out for around $50? It's not like I am only buying junk. Take today for example. My proof is in the photo.

Basics:

Eggs (On sale)

Milk (On sale)

Loaf of Bread (Not on sale but we needed it.)

Parchment Paper (the only item my wife said she needed.)

Breakfast:

Large mixed fruit bowl

Lunch items:

Lunch meat (On sale)

Cheese slices (On sale)

2 bags of chips (On sale)

Dinner items:

Ground Beef (On sale)

Lettuce for salads

Snacks:

2 packs of peanut butter & Cheese crackers (On sale)

2 packs of Publix cookies (On sale)

Other:

Couple 4 packs of Red Bull (It gives me wings.)

1 White Chocolate Kit Kat that called my name at checkout

Game over! Even after tax, I cashed in at a little over $50. Throw in a case of beer and we are still only talking about $75. I do not get it.

Perfect Saturday Evening...

How's this for a Saturday evening? Start out with grinding 100% whole grains into flour. Convert the flour into pizza dough. Add a base of home made pizza sauce, red onions, black olives, jalapeno peppers, pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. Top it off with a nice combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano and Asiago cheeses. Wash it down with an ice cold Bud served in frozen mug. Kick back with a few more cold ones while the NASCAR Nationwide series takes place in Missouri. Finish with a Oliva Master Blends III.

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let's go racing boys!

Salsa And A Smoke!

OK, so my wife gets home from work tonight and tells me to go to the spare bedroom and wait. I do, and after a few minutes she says to come into the kitchen. The above pic (click to enlarge) is what I saw. As anyone who knows me knows, I love El Chico salsa. She had picked up some El Chico salsa and chips and a couple of cigars for me! The cig to the left is the Oliva Serie G, and to the right is one I have never tried, the Ashton #10 Maduro, which was recommended to her. I'll post a review once I've smoked it! What a great way to end the day. Well, I can think of something better, and hey...the night's not over yet :-)
