The girls want something different for supper, so I'm cooking squirrel spaghetti. They'll love it. Miss Jan, you can't have my reciepe.lol......Oh JJ. I got you beat, I cut my hair 5 times a year.

That's different enough alright.  We're having leftover ribs and corn on the cob, from yesterday.

Back to salad and fruit for us.  No recipe Robert, but can I have the teeth LOL

Sorry Miss Jan, I don't want to offend anyone, the teeth must be kept for handles only..lol   I can send you the reciepe only by special, secure mail.

Catfish burgers, for supper tonight. The girls love em....oh...Paw paw too...lol

Well, Mac Donalds might be in trouble if the reciepe got out...lol

that was a good one, robert!

i've had catfish cooked 7 ways from sunday but i ain't never had a catfish burger. sounds yummy!

Well, when I get a chance, I'll give ya'll the reciepe. Alot of different fish, crabs and shirmp can be cooked this way.

Robert,

Ever had a black and blue?  Blacken your fish, lettuce, tomato and a touch of crumbled blue cheese on a bun.

Yes mam, we eat left over broiled fish like that. Another way we eat left over fish is after a fish fry, we crumble up the fish and make it the way you would make "tuna fish salad" . My old paw paw said if the lord wanted a Cajun to eat Tuna Fish, "he'd put em in the bayou"....lol

Well I cooked a nice ham last night so tonight for dinner fried some leftover ham with some white beans and rice.  Grated some fresh parmesan cheese over it all and melted it a bit in the microwave.

Toasted some nice sourdough bread. 

Had a big bowl of fresh strawberries with whipped cream.

Now I am full    lol

That's something, I cooked a ham the other day and have been eating left overs, one way or the other for a few days. We had it with mashed potatoes, whites beans and last night I had it with squash. I love ham, I make some home made hams sometime, real good. It just takes a while.

Robert,

I am willing to bet they are AWESOME home made hams.  YUMMY!

With just the two of us at home now, I usually buy the spiral sliced and freeze it meal size.  I love Ham and Grits!

Dat's what I'm talking about...lol...When I make homemade hams I make three at a time. It's about the same amount of trouble to make one as three. I pickle them for three days in curring salt and smoke them for 10 to 12 ours. You better bet thier good. Hey I was thinking about starting a little discussion in here, for everyone to post a good reciepe. What do ya'll think?

I'm partial to a nice "Virginia" smoked ham.

It's too far, for me to drive to get a good ham....lol

Robert,

Stay dry, looks like we are all in the same rain belt going on.  I like the recipe idea, lets start it right here.  JJ may be able to get us some from the diner!

i had the cumberland gap ham the other day they are great hams.everyone must try one.....

I think it would be interesting to see the different food thats eaten from all over the place...

While on vacation we always eat at this little place called "Huck Fins Catfish House..

There you are always seated by friendly people, a person playing musical instruments in the background .

The food is always started off with what they call Vittles  consisting of  coleslaw,hush puppies,dill pickles,onion slices and a bowl of beans.

From there on your on your own.....house cooked fresh catfish is abundant...your drinks are of course served in mason jars...lol

The restaurant walls are covered with flour sacks and lots of antique farming things so there is no dull walls ...hard wood floors... Great Southern Hospitality...

If your ever in Pigeon forge ....look it up.....we do on every visit.....

I think it would be great to see reciepes from people from all over the world, not the most special dish but an everyday meal that is cooked regularly. We could do it in 3 or 4 catagories, like one in "beef",  "pork", "poltry", and in vegatables. It could be, like what's for supper tonight. We all live in different places around the world, with alot of different ways to cook the same meat, fish and vegies. Let's get a great IKC Reciepe Book going.

While in Atlanta, we got together with the couple from TX, the GEC folks from PA and off we went to the Varsity.  

Originally named "The Yellow Jacket,' The Varsity was established in 1928 at the corner of Luckie Street and Hemphill Avenue in Midtown Atlanta. The main location is responsible for more retail sales of Coca-Cola, on an annual basis than any other single location in the world, a record which has stood for many years. Over the years The Varsity has become synonymous in Atlanta's folklore with a clever and unorthodox catchphrase. Originated by frazzled cashiers as a way to keep the lines moving, the blunt and abbreviated greeting "What'll ya have?" caught on with both staff and public and eventually became the restaurant's unofficial slogan. Today it appears on takeout boxes and cups as well as Varsity memorabilia and is the required greeting to all customers.
It's the Worlds Largest Drive-In
The Downtown Atlanta location is on more than two acres and can accommodate 600 cars and over 800 people inside. On days when the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets are playing a home game, over 30,000 people visit The Varsity.

Two miles of hot dogs, a ton of onions, 2500 pounds of potatoes, 5000 fried pies and 300 gallons of chili are made from scratch daily.

The best chili cheese dogs and onion rings!!!

Some things are better left to the imagination.

Ok folks,  you asked for it. 

Lets share some recipes;

iKC Recipe Collection.

Wow, that's something ladies, great resturants are so nice to eat and visit at, most all love it. I ate a catfish dinner at a place in Texarkna that sounds alot like the one Miss Sue was talking about. It's all good! What do ya'll think about, my reciepe idea, good, bad, too much trouble, let me know what ya'll think?

Add em to the recipe book, Robert.

Yea, I thought you might have started one already, I just haven't spotted it. It's a great idea. Thanks. JJ.

We all gotta eat, Steve.

Fathers Day dinner, tonight...

Good ol' CRAB BOIL.

Crab legs,  jumbo shrimp,  corn on the cob, new potatoes and smoked sausage. 

We had Country style pork ribs along with corn on the cob and a medley of zucchini, potatoes, yellow squash, onions , garlic, and some fresh cut pineapple.  Yours sure sounds good J.J.. I'm the only one in this family that likes crab legs and shrimp.

Yum, yum, those sound great guys. We are doing Bar B Que, chicken and pork ribs, later today.

Hog,

I keep apples and banana's on hand.  I may be on the run but still gotta eat!!

Father's day?

Boiled shrimp, asparagus, deviled eggs, yellow rice, Cantaloupe, blackberries and blueberries.  Thats what the table looks like for dinner tonight :)

I am eating alot of stuff out the garden, fresh veggies and fruits. The figs have just started and we have been picking blue and straw berries. Oh, cucumbers and tomatoe salad, you bet. Corn, squarsh and my favorite snap beans. Poo-Yie, dats good, yah...lol

Well this is the first thing to ripen in our garden, so tonite , I cut it up topped it with cottage cheese, some shred sharp chedar we had fried taters,baked beans,grilled pork chops........dessert was almond shortbread with strawberries

That's a great bell pepper there Miss Sue, I plant sweet banana peppers also, they produce alot more early. I have been picking alot of figs recently, it's like candy on a bush..lol....I plan on posting an old Cajun corn recipe later.

Donnie had a craving so tonight was lasagna.  Made one for the freezer and couple for friend while I was at it.  

Robert,

I will post a recipe or two tomorrow also :)

It got so cool in California that I pulled a turkey out of my freezer and roasted it.  So tonight is turkey, potatoes, asparagus, lots of gravy and rolls.

Boil the asparagus just enough to make it brighten up and then fry it on high heat.  Make it hot enough to melt grated parmesan cheese.  Add some fresh white corn cut straight from the cob and that's dinner!!

And actually roasting the turkey is just an excuse to make the gravy.

Yea man, I'm a gravy man...lol

Lee,

Thats what I call a dinner.  Makes my mouth water

By, by knives.....I think we are adding on to the cotage, oh lord, help me. I can do it, yes I can do it. LOL. I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress. Poor PawPaw...

Poor PaPaw, are you adding to the girls cottage?

Yes Mam, I'm gonna add 12'x16' to it. They will have more storage and a bathroom. The running back to my house will be over. I knew when I got the cottage, I would have to add a bathroom one day. This is gonna be one big bathroom...lol

Indoor plumming?

Younguns gettin kind of uppity these days.

JJ,

LOL...thats what he gets for spoilin' um right?   Seriously Robert, good work.  The girls want to stay close and this gives them the opportunity to not have to go live in town and just visit PawPaw

good luck robert maybe you can just build a nice ol;e town and we all can come for a visit..maybe call it it knifetown...

Hey Stephen, thats a great idea. We could call it "Coteauville" [Knife town, Cajun] [Spelling ?] I like having them close, Miss Jan, I'm disabled you know.

Robert,

I think it is wonderful that they stay close.  It is good for all of you and I would love to visit Coteauville

Hey, anyone cooking something special for the 4th of July? I'm doing a Bar-B-Que with all the side dishes for my little gang.
