Long Thanksgiving weekend

Simon, Pop and I got to go to Juan in a Million a few days back. Here are two shots from there.

California dreamin' (Arcadia to be exact)

I saw these cornmeal crusts in the frozen section at HEB and immediately thought back to one of my favorite restaurants near where we used to live in South Pas. There was a place in Arcadia, near the hospital where Simon was born called Zelo that made some kick ass pizzas with a cornmeal crust. My personal favorite was the corn pizza. Sounds like corn overkill, but it's not.

I now always have two of these in my freezer at all times.

Roasted some frozen corn in a dry skillet over high heat.

Caramelized onions make everything better.

Mixed the corn and onions with grated mozzarella and some finely chopped green onions.


Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes.

I'm slowly making my way through recreating their menu. Take a look: Zelo

Stillwater

When spending time in the state of Oklahoma, the rule of thumb is "don't stay longer than two meals at Braum's." If you eat more than two meals there, you're done. Some friends and I took a whirlwind trip to Stillwater for the Oklahoma State game. 31 hours total, 14 hours of that in the car...

Will, me and Joe in front of Boone Pickens Stadium.

You know it's a big game when parking is up 50% from the normal $20.

I approve of this smoker.


I don't approve of the Pistol Pete lawn ornaments... at least not the one in the middle.

At a bar before the game, we found out you can still smoke anywhere. All you need is an ashtray and a thigh.


At halftime, needing to find a restroom, I took some stairs upward. They took me to the roof. I cut Sean McDonough in line at the press box bathroom.


John, me and Joe waving goodbye to Booney P as he flew away early.

Braum's meal #2... that must mean it's time to go.
