Posted on Monday, April 1st, 2024 at 4:06 pmBack in the mad money. It was payday this morning. Haven’t spent any of it. Nothing on the shopping list. No wild hairs either. No hurry, after having caught up from truck month. The only foreseeable expenditure is Spring Fling at the end of the month, and I don’t expect much there. I may be grabbing cash back at the stores this month, since my wallet was drained of everything but ones by truck inspection and registration.
The windows were open all night, as it never dropped below 70°F. A bit of a Gulf bred fluke this early in the season, but a hint of things to come. Short sleeves, sweating glasses, AC, mosquitoes… But hey, better than winter any day. 82°F for the high.
Thinking about a second burger, this time with the Louisiana Cajun rub. It’s been long enough since the first burger test to not wreck digestion. Get it in sufficiently before I move on to spaghetti. Not complaining about the turkey and rice options, just an issue of timing. I don’t see another taco meat thaw until after spaghetti, and there are four to go (Santa Fe, Tombstone, St Louis, Tequila Lime).
There is getting to be space available in the top loader, enough for pulled pork. So I expect that to happen in the near future, even though I may not eat more than a single sandwich right away for testing. And tonight is the new grocery circular. Texas style ribs (stew), brisket, and rib eye are on the watch list.
A fairly slow day, chores are minimal. A little achey, but not bad.

Cajun burger report: I went a little heavy on the rub, but I’m brave when it comes to heat. It wasn’t quite what I expected, but not all that hot, at least while there was food in my mouth. The after-burn was more prominent than the burn, but it wasn’t anything that I’d call hot. The initial taste is savory, mild, but definitely with a cajun slant, and the heat only becomes readily apparent after swallowing. It’s not nearly as warm as what comes locally labeled as cajun. I think it is more suited for poultry, pork, or seafood than beef. Still, not bad. Glad I got it.
