The 2024 VViles Thread <3 Doi!!1!!

I'm being evicted from the ex's trailer
I called the lawyer and said, ma'am, I've never lived there, I don't own the place, and I'm not on the lease, all I did was pay for the thing.

IKR
Never been evicted from somewhere I don't live before!

Why would anyone send an eviction notice to someone who wasn't on the lease...makes no sense. Also seems like a really long time since she was gone for this to be appearing now.

I stopped at the Wal-Mart grocery on the way home to pick up veggies, crabmeat, butter, cream cheese, and flour. Of course, there were only four lanes out of twenty staffed and working. The check-yourself-out lanes were stacked and packed with people so they weren't an option. Wanted to get some Italian/curly leaf parsley, but all they had was cilantro. Definitely not an option. So, I spent some time just prepping things for tomorrow. I ground up the buttery Club crackers into crumbs, chopped the cooked shrimp, and made the buttter/cream cheese/flour pastry, all using the Cuisinart. Tomorrow morning after coffee and biscuits, I'll start finely chopping onion, garlic, shallots, green bell pepper, celery, and whatever parsley I can find at the neighborhood grocery store. This will all be lightly sauteed in the cast iron skillet with butter and olive oil and a few splashes of white wine (pinot noir in this case), then mixed together with the cracker crumbs, chopped shrimp, crabmeat, and more melted butter, and of course, some Cajun/Creole seasoning mix.

For a detailed recipe, I can recommend Emeril's Stuffed Shrimp recipe [foodnetwork.com]

For the guys down at Brooks Sandwich House, I'll prepare several dozen small pastries filled with the crab/shrimp/veggie/crumb stuffing, and freeze them. For us here at home, I bought some Pepperidge Farm puff pastry cups and will stuff them then top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese shreds.

nice sleep last night

Good for you!!

Got out of the house at 8:30 this morning, hit the grocery for remaining needed items, then the ATM and the barber shop. Got a phone call from Mrs. Frog asking me to pick up more items, so another grocery visit on the way home. Since returning, I've spent a LOT of time finely chopping veggies and sauteing them in a mixture of butter, olive oil, and cooking sherry. I planned to use Pinot Noir, but it seems Mrs. Frog used the last of it and left the near-empty bottle standing on the counter. Mixed together all the veggies, chopped shrimp, crab meat, fresh-chopped parsley, cracker crumbs, more sherry and more melted butter, and now the whole mix is chilling in the fridge while I take a break.

When I get started again, it's time to roll out the cream-cheese pastry and cut a bunch of circles, stuff them with the chilled seafood/veggie mix, and crimp them with a fork. I'll also prepare several of the puff pastry cups topped with Parmesan for us to enjoy later tonight.
If I have any time left this afternoon, I'm going to try to catch the Deadpool movie.

I've got two dozen pies made and in the freezer, and taking another break. Then it's more pastry rolling and cutting, and more stuffing, folding, and crimping. I should get about four dozen pies out of one batch of pastry, which isn't too bad. Each pie has a heaping teaspoon of the seafood stuffing in it. It expands a bit when baked or fried, so it's important not to over-stuff the pies or they'll burst during cooking. On a cookie sheet in the oven, that's not so bad. In a deep fry basket, it's a bit of a problem.

You should do a youtube cooking channel.

That's so many pies

I'm waiting for my coffee at the rest stop Starbucks
They should give people with regular coffees first rather than making us wait for the pests with the fancy orders
