This morning I made an omelet out of what sounded good. Damn convention.


I ended up with a shrimp (medium), sausage (Boar's Head bratwurst) and
onion omelet and served it up with Cholula garlic chili hot sauce. It was
just great. But does it sound tres weird to the rest of y'all?

The Garbage Disposal of the Oceans and you're asking us if it was
"weird?"

I'm not sure about the bratwurst but the rest sure sounded good.

Not weird at all... just a French version of shrimp Cantonese in
lobster sauce... could easily sub bits of shark for shrimp, call it
Snark(y).

I find "the perfect killing machine" far less pejorative.

It was mostly the combination of shrimp and brats that I wondered about.
Blinky loves brats of the sausage variety. Come to think of it, he loves
the kind that fall off boats, too; behavior isn't reflected in flavor and
youngsters are nice and tender.

After I posted my question, though, I thought, hey, I think there are -
cajun, I suppose - soups and/or stews with both.

Those brats that "fall" overboard aren't spoiled?

Different sausage, different texture, different taste; but you
make due with what you have.

Gumbo does sound good, though.

And jambalaya. It often has both.

It sounds weird but yummy. I like weird but yummy.

Today, we had grilled-onion-and-mushroom quesadillas at the local
Mexican place. Again, weird but yummy.

Only having had them from three restaurants, I tried making fish tacos a
couple nights ago. I wanted to develop my own, so I didn't look up any
recipes. I went from personal tastes and expectations and a vague memory
of what was probably in the ones I had in the beach towns and out on a
pier. I grilled a basa fillet and steamed a couple tortillas (I didn't
have any taco shells; I far prefer soft tacos). I didn't want a
tomato-pasty type salsa, so I chopped onion, tomato and some japapeño,
and pressed a clove of garlic. I applied half the fillet and those
things to my taco. I added some cilantro and a bit of oregano, and little
coarse ground black pepper. I got just about what I wanted. Since I
wrapped the tortilla over on itself about an inch and a half with the
second one, I guess I actually made more of a fish burrito with that one.
Still good, by any name.

My only problem was that I forgot that I had all the stuff for a bloody
mary. Hey, I still do! <heads for the fridge after posting this>
