Might as well start the fire. 

 Finally got ALL the security and Microsoft updates done.  Trouble is now,  half of my back-up files were lost.  Guess I'll have to sing with the Hee Haw guys some more;  "If it wern't for bad luck...".

Great idea Stephen, my fav alligator receipe...

2 lbs alligator tail meat, cubed into 1/2 inch cubes
■1/4 cup peanut oil
■1/4 cup flour
■1 cup margarine
■2 cups chopped onion
■1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
■1/2 cup chopped celery
■2 tablespoons Tony Chachere’s® Creole Seasoning, divided
■2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
■1 tablespoon garlic powder
■1 cup tomato puree
■1 cup water
■1/2 teaspoon cayenne
■1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
■juice from 1/2 lemon
■2 – 3 dashes Tabasco®
■2 green onions chopped
■2 cups cooked rice

 Wash then soak the alligator meat cubes in water for a couple of minutes. Pat dry and season with 1 tablespoon of the Tony’s seasoning. Then lightly dust the cubes with the flour.

2. In a large pot, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed alligator meat and brown on all side. Remove from the pot and reserve.

3. Add the margarine to the pot and while it melts, scrap up any bits of flour that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot. With the margarine melted and the pot still on medium-high, add the onion, celery, and bell peppers and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Then add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, tomato puree, water, cayenne and chili powder and reduce to a simmer and cook another 10 minutes.  Now add the cooked alligator back into the pot along with the lemon juice, Tabasco and the remaining tablespoon of Tony’s and allow to simmer another 5 – 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust with the Tony’s and the Tabasco. Do not add salt because the Tony’s seasoning is loaded with it.  Serve over cook rice, sprinkle with green onions.

 

HEY JJ, MAYBE YOU COULD COOK DINNER WHILE WAITING FOR THAT DOWNLOAD

Careful, Stephen, some of them cajuns hold tight to their gater recipes. This last round of updates is only about 1/2 done and has been going all morning. Think I'll do a Lord Of The Rings marathon, with all the special features thrown in.

Dial up is WAY better than the heat.  Thing is now I'm still out at Sonics while the home system is still downloading more updates.  The Netbook updates within a few seconds on wi-fi.  Still, all in all, the new system is much faster than the old.  Not sure if it is the faster processor or the new Win7.  Had to pick up an external modem though.  Does its job good.

Robert,

$35.00,  a few Smoochin' Gooses and a cookout;  sounds almost like a bargin to me.  LOL

Be sure to add some pics when the job is finished.

Alligator season opens September 1 here in Louisiana, some good fried gator tail. Miss Jan my crew last saturday working on the cabin drank 35 dollars worth of beer. It might be cheaper paying the labor..lol
