Sol dinner in Odessa at Mamacita's Mexican grill. I had spicy green chicken enchiladas and a margarita on the rocks. They make their own enchilada sauces and this was really to my liking. 🍜🌶️🇲🇽🔥

Lunch in Odessa, TX with my older brother who is in a nursing home there. At a Asian fusion place called Volcano. I had Singapore Mei Fun noodles and I ordered some sushi for him which he barely ate as he spent more time looking at all the people. 🍜🌶️

Traveling tomorrow. So I bought HEB deli ravioli with buffalo mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, and pecorino romano. Product of Italy. Not too bad for an inexpensive pre-made product. 🍜🇮🇹

On the road tomorrow early AM to visit my older, double amputee brother who is in a nursing home in Odessa, TX. Four hour drive each way. Staying one night. His sleep schedule is erratic so even with that I don't know how much I will actually get to see him and he's not sleeping.

Bought a ready to cook petite piece of steak w/two stuffed mushrooms. Added slices of heirloom tomato. Baked the mushrooms at 350. Pan seared the steak to perfection medium rare. Added salt, olive oil and feta cheese to the tomatoes. 🍽️🍜

Hot Thai Canadian Thanksgiving! 🇨🇦 Pailin from HTK lives in Vancouver. This was her Thai influenced Thanksgiving. "Turkey breast marinated in Gai yang marinade. Served with nam Jim jaew. The “greek-Thai salad” used nam Jim seafood as the dressing. Gravy + jaew combo was very good" 🍜

A baked potato with red chili, cheese and white and green onions. 🍽️🍜🌶️

Something a bit different. 🎶🎸 When he's playing the Hohner bass he's wearing a PAUL shirt. For Sir Paul McCartney. 😀 #music #guitar #bass #drums #tommyemmanuel

Ossobuca with saffron risotto, a beautiful fall meal!

Tonight's repast. A bowl of chili with lime and jalapeno slices and cheddar and Hatch chili cornbread. 🍽️🍜🌶️

Nice appetizer of artisanal sourdough toast with a homemade cannellini bean spread, TJs olive tapenade, and finely grated parm. 🍽️🍜

A lot of music from my youth came from the Moody Blues. John Lodge & Justin Hayward were big influences back then. 🎶🎸 RIP. #music #bass #johnlodge #moodyblues

It's a no-cook Friday moi. Beef pho for lunch. 🍜

Made stacked enchiladas again with carnitas, red sauce, onions and cilantro in the layers and cheddar cheese. A couple of fire grilled jalapenos in the side of guacamole to round it out. 🍽️🍜🌶️🇲🇽

She comes from a family of drummers. Didn't want to be one at first. Then... and now, RUSH. 🥁🎶 #music #drummers #drums #rush #anikanilles

Dinner tonight. A brined pork chop w/smoked paprika cooked on a grill pan. With steamed cabbage & unsalted butter and sliced heirloom tomatoes. 🍽️🍜

Interesting. Tommy playing someone else's acoustics. Part of a larger interview. 🎸🎶 #music #guitar #fingerstyle #acoustic #tommyemmanuel

Taco Tuesday. A standard for me. Carnitas over Hatch tomatillo salsa w/onion & cilantro on fresh homemade white corn tortillas. Enchiladas tomorrow w/carnitas & tortillas seems likely. 🍽️🍜🌶️

She'll be stepping onto the lighted stage w/RUSH and everyone seems to be saying she is absolutely going to crush it. This is from 8 years ago. #music #rush #drums #anikanilles #geddylee #alexlifeson

An excerpt from an interview that was not to be seen until after her death. It's on Netflix now. #janegoodall

Good morning. And thank you Canada!

Using up more dried mushrooms I have, I made mashed potatoes & gravy. Gravy using the mushrooms & liquid from rehydrating them with yellow onions, EVOO & butter/flour & red wine. Made a roux, etc. Chopped parsley for color. 🍽️🍜🍄

Have always wanted to try making poutine. After seeing Duck Poutine from the Muppet Wrangler I searched and lo and behold, there is a cheese producer in Irving/DFW that I can order from. Don't think there is a pickup option. 🍜 #cheesecurds #texas #poutine

Whoa Nelly! Limited shows and I hope they film these. Two nights are near me in Fort Worth and I can't imagine what the ticket prices will be. Beyond my reach 4 sure. 🥁🎸🎸 #music #rush #neilpeart #geddylee #alexlifeson

Baked BBQ chicken drumsticks w/fries (air fried) and a piece of corn on the cob. Chicken first seasoned with Rendezvous rub & cooked 20 minutes. Then coated with BBQ sauce & cooked 20 minutes more. 🍽️🍜

Stir fry tonight with shrimp, onion, garlic, green bell pepper, carrot, cabbage, egg and universal stir fry sauce with Jasmine rice. 🍽️🍜🇹🇭

"Going" song #1, from Steve Miller's "Number 5" album. Featuring the great bassist/harmonica player Charlie McCoy. #guitar #music #stevemiller #number5

From one of my (and many others) favorite Steve Miller album, "Number 5", this is "Going" song #2. Introduced to this way back when living in Bangkok. Definitely under the influence. These days, Mexico would seem to be a happier and safer place. 🎶🎸 #guitar #music #stevemiller #number5

What a great idea! #foodsky #charity

A wild mushroom sauce made with butter, EVOO, shallots and S&P served with spaghetti. Then added a copious amount of Asiago cheese. 🍽️🍜🍄

Thought I had donated this to a library, but found it so on the agenda for this weekend. #movie #pleasantville #wholesomefamilyvalues

I really enjoy limited series, especially since I don't have any regular TV. And this one, for those who dig whodunits, has a whale of a lot of suspect intricacies up until the last minutes of the final episode. Clue X 100. #series #mystery #murdermystery #clue

We had more Italian sausage and frozen raviolis so I made the soup a second time this week 🍜🍽️

Muffin w/egg, bacon, cheese and avocado. 🍽️🍜

First attempt at a Cottage Pie. Bit light on the mash, sadly. Based on the recipe below. Added splash of red wine, bay leaves (for simmering), 2 tsp Worcestershire. Frozen peas/carrots as not enough fresh carrots. 🍽️🍜 www.allrecipes.com/recipe/15509...

She was a world treasure. RIP. #rip #janegoodall

Interesting to learn about guitar "setup". Even more so to see how it is done at a very modern yet musical factory. 🎶🎸 #guitar #prsguitars

Cool chef in Wisconsin. Definitely worth following. #food #foodsky

A simple lunch of pan-fried salmon cooked with olive oil and lemon juice. Along with steamed broccolini. 🍽️🍜

New Single! Grateful Blues! youtu.be/Q7SRp6fCLXA?... #gratefuldead #bluesmusic #jamband #traditional

A decent attempt at this wok recipe. Should have used a bit more of thinly sliced pork belly for this but instead saved it for frying for bacon bits tomorrow. 🍽️🍜🌶️🇹🇭 thewoksoflife.com/thai-basil-p...

One more from the rabbit hole, with a glitch. Live from Nashville. 🎶🎸 #music #toddrundgren #darylhall

Another version of that great Todd song. Live from Daryl's House. 🎶🎸 #music #guitar #toddrundgren #darylhall

Lost a former colleague to a yard working accident yesterday, where a big tree limb fell on him. It didn't take long. 😢 We worked together @ Jimmy Dean Foods in Memphis, TN from 1988 - 2004. Older homesteaders, be careful working outside.

Wow. 🎶🎸 #music #chapmanstick

Going to try to not butcher this tonight. 🍜😆

Beautiful rendition. Happy Saturday. 🎶 #music #harp #toddrundgren

Thailand's favorite instant noodle brand for lunch. Mama Pa-Lo Duck flavor but no duck here so chicken, scallions and cilantro. Recipes show flavors are from palm sugar, 5 spice, star anise, cinnamon, cilantro roots and garlic. 🍽️🍜🌶️🇹🇭

Saw a memory today that reminded me I've been lung cancer free for 18 years. Thanks to medical science.
