October 3Oct 3 Had a leftover burger patty from cooking out a couple days ago. That’s my homemade blue cheese dressing that will knock your dick in the dirt. Onion and a mater. those beans are what my granddaughters refer to as Pops’ Candy Beans. They are mighty sweet but also are loaded with jalapeños.

There was a place in Memphis we’d eat at as a kid that had this killer blue cheese dressing. Maybe I’m weird but I loved blue cheese from a very young age and the bottled stuff is crap. My dad got the recipe and it’s been tweaked thru the years. This is a base recipe that I tweak a bit each time based on the pungency of the cheese, the type buttermilk you use, and how sharp your lemons are. Typically I use the crumbled Bel Gioioso from Sam’s as it’s good for being cheap and it’s easy. I’ve made it with fancy funky types like Roquefort and Stilton and I prefer those in a salad with a vinaigrette. I have a market near me that sells Vollmans real full fat buttermilk and it makes a big difference in taste and texture as it’s really thick. This is very rich, and I want it with heavy garlic where it burns. So like it less and it’s a dressing to tweak with. I recommend folks start with less of the seasonings and add more of what they like. 8oz your favorite bleu cheese, 6oz Daisy sour cream 6oz Dukes Mayo 4oz Buttermilk, full fat if possible 2-4 Garlic cloves, microplaned or crushed 3 tbsp. Ranch dressing mix 1 tsp Granulated or powdered garlic 2 tbsp Lemon juice (start with 1, add to taste) Dash or two Lea & Perkins Worchestershire 1 tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped 1 tsp fresh black pepper, more to taste Squirt. sriracha in the spirit of the thread keep it in a rinsed out Route 44 cup.

You should be proud. Perhaps a cold Rahr over the fufu water or a flagon of iced tea, but no deduction. I’m assuming that’s a styrofoam plate. Where’s my plate?

I'm not sure I've ever drank a Rahr anything and I've had just about everything alcoholic this state has to offer. Maybe I had one at somepoint on tap somewhere in Dallas. Must be a FW thing.

I usually put in 4 large cloves of fresh garlic minimum, sometimes more. Theres also garlic in the ranch dressing powder. Like I said, adjust your seasonings how you like.

October 6Oct 6 Popular Post Didn’t cook this myself obviously, but damn, my favorite time of the year, church picnic season. Playing in a polka band, just some of the perks. First pic is from Holy Trinity Catholic Church fall picnic in Corn Hill; next two are from today from the Queen of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church picnic in Hostyn. Give yourself 100 internet points if you know where either of these are. Been eating good lately Edited October 6Oct 6 by UTCzech III

October 6Oct 6 Man....church picnics/potlucks are hard to beat. Mexican Catholic ones? Hell yeah. Czech Catholic? Damn straight. Hell, even a nice Methodist or Presbyterian one? Yep....although bring some hot sauce with you. Best I ever had, though, was a joint MLK day service we did with Ebenezer Baptist Church. GotDAMN. They brought it.

Well yeah, besides the obvious, there's beer. Free beer. Lots and lots of free beer. For this 59 year-old, probably more than I need or want, but I can't turn it down, that would be rude. And I get to keep playing, one of the few things that keeps me sane. So mental health and all. But mainly the beer.
October 6Oct 6 The German Catholic church I grew up in is an oratory now, but the ladies of the community still get together to make a Fall supper. I had to help serve it as a kid, but nowadays we get it delivered out to the field.Smoked pork loin, turkey, sauerkraut, dressing, corn, mashed potatoes. Love it.

Damn straight, I wish more picnics etc would make dressing as part of the meal, the one at Corn Hill had it, damn it was good, went great with the fried chicken. Nice to have it outside of just Thanksgiving. And roast pork and sauerkraut, hell yes.

She bakes it in a muffin tin, so they’re like individual pastries that have edge crunch in every bite.

Because one of my favorite life traditions is on the Friday or Saturday after T-giving, I go duck hunting, and eat a chunk of cold oyster dressing in the truck for breakfast on the way there. Having it in muffin size and shape would make that perfect.

We've played Lodge 88 before, been a long time, they like to get the "big names" (yes, there actually are some), the whole thing is who knows who, and over there is favoritism... Tough to squeeze into these handshake deals. Have fun if you go.

Tough to squeeze into these handshake deals. Have fun if you go. I'm not surprised. I'm sort of the opinion that the people who've started running the lodge on the board are a bunch of pricks, based on their decisions. Like, they keep trying to grow the Czechfest here and then have a fucking hissy fit when they don't have enough volunteers. Like, it gets to be more of a shitshow every year, why do you keep trying to make it bigger? Getting "names" probably dovetails into that. "Lets make this rival Wurstfest!!" Why don't you try making it suck less, before you grow it?

Volunteers is always a problem, especially if you don't make it welcoming for them. Seen it many times. Lotta politics involved, unfortunately.
