Oven roasted chicken rellenos with Ranchero sauce. Used Matt’s original cookbook for Ranchero recipe. A must have cookbook with so many good recipes:
Recipe. Of course I used jalapeño:
Roasted some poblanos on my outside stove. Roasting chiles has to be the best smell on Earth:
My bride cooked some chicken breasts and seasoned with Julio’s seasoning and some comino:
I made aforementioned Ranchero sauce (so damn good I don’t know why I don’t cook it more often…easy too:
Peeled and seeded the poblanos and filled with chicken, covered with Colby and Monterey Jack, and Ranchero then popped in 350F over for 30 minutes. Served with some type of frozen corn from Trader Joe’s that we use fairly often.
Damn good and possibly the healthiest meal I’ve eaten this past month.
That poor kid was the worst QB in Oklahoma Football history. No way should he have ever been offered a scholarship. If I ever meet Jeff Lebby, I may kick him in the nuts for besmirching my Sooners with that God awful offer and offensive game plan. Absolutely the worst performance in a century plus of football.
My in-laws lived on a ranch out in Hamilton County when this event occurred. The didn’t see any lights or aliens but they were woken in the night by a sonic boom that rattled the house. Father-in-law walked outside to see what was up and four more F-16 blew over supersonic at full afterburners headed northwest. Never knew anything more than that but it was weird as shit as it occurred the same time as the supposed Stephenville lights event occurred.
I’ve had an Away Bigger Carry-on for five years and I’ve beat the shit out of it with weekly travel. It’s still rolling smoothly and is unscathed. The Away coat bag accessory is a very good addition as well.
Good times at Dry Creek. One of the best times was a show by Damon Bramblett on the top deck at sunset and a perfect weather early November evening back in 2012.
I thought the fly fishers on this thread will enjoy the following tribute to Dave Whitlock. The local Trout Unlimited chapter here in Tulsa, voted last night to change their official name to the ‘Dave Whitlock Chapter’ by a unanimous vote. The video tribute to the late Dave Whitlock was shown last night:
Dave was a wonderful, incredibly talented man.
I’m jealous. Both my kids have us knee deep in high school sports activities, so no opening weekend for me. Hopefully I’ll make it back down to Shackelford County to bust some of my buddies culls or does in Nov-Dec. Plan on hunting Osage County in Oklahoma gun season.
Living vicariously through you guys until then…
I miss the old prickly pear and mesquite country.
We had a lease out by Throckmorton years ago that was infested by hogs. One of the guys shot this hog close to dark and we decided to let it lay as it was a Saturday night and a big game was coming on, so we ran back to camp to watch the game (old school days - generator, TV, DirecTV satellite dish in concrete in Home Depot Homer bucket).
We returned to pick up the hog about three hours later and there was nothing but bones. Picked clean.
2023/2024 Season secured.
25 lbs. from local grocery store that does roasting all through August at various stores. Pro tip - pick up a couple boxes of quart size ziplocks.
Saw this thread pop up and list some of my old favs in Austin, namely Via 313, Homeslice, and Marye’s in my old hood.
Not pizza and it’s been a while since I’ve had one but Little Deli used to make the best Italian subs west of central Pennsylvania. Hopefully, they’re still badass and if so, you shouldn’t miss their Italian sub.
Thought some of you might like to see this home. Frank Lloyd Wright designed home for sale here in Tulsa.

No worries. The photo looks like dry hands but my kid’s hands were wet each time. I’ve pounded that in him at a young age. Only had one net, otherwise they would have all been netted in the water but you have to do your best running to an excited kid catching his first cutthroats.
RMac - yes, chile rellenos at Orlando’s for the celebratory dinner. I’m always a Christmas order but believe I actually prefer their red Chile best.
We caught all the trout on Rio Grande Kings, Lime Trudes, Sparkle Duns, and X Caddis that I tied last winter. We probably could have caught even more fish with hopper-dropper but in cutthroat water, I only fish dries.
The little Rio Grande cutts will bite anything but they have to be one of fastest takes in fly fishing. If your hook up rate is 50%, you’re a world class angler. Mine was in the teens.
New Mexico Fish & Game has done a fantastic job in recovery efforts with this fishery. If anyone is interested, PM and I’ll give you details.
Spur of the moment cannonball run to the New Mexico high country with the kid…
First order of business was kid’s request -Black Mesa hike to Oklahoma high point on the trip out. Beautiful, vast empty mesa country brimming with all types of wildlife. Hotter than hell and no shade but worth it. I’d recommend this hike in cool seasons - Very nice Nature Conservancy property at trailhead.
On to the destination - High country of the northern New Mexico Sangre de Cristos and lots of Rio Grande cutts.
The Land of Enchantment still very enchanting.
Haven’t made it there either. I should be flogged twice.
My parents and their friends used to road trip to Eischen’s a couple of times a year. I need to accelerate my Okie trips after thirty great years in Texas.
I’ve eaten at Hodad’s and a Thai restaurant near by in Ocean Beach that he featured. Both were excellent.
Most of the Austin restaurants with Counter Cafe being one of our old standbys pre-Covid at original location.
I should be flogged as I’ve never been to Nic’s Grill in OKC despite literally dozens of friends recommending it to me over the years. Road trip in near future…
