Rusty Fire Crackers

For football watching, Rusty said he was going to make Fire Crackers. I had no idea what he was talking about. But he said they are what fishermen eat down South.

They are saltine crackers with Ranch Dressing (powder) with pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, vegetable or olive oil –all mixed in a bag and then put in the oven to crisp up.

We couldn’t find Rand Dressing powder mix. I haven’t seen dry dressing mix in a long time. Either they don’t make them anymore or they just don’t sell them in the smaller groceries up here in NY. It’s hard to find a lot of stuff up here that you’d normally find in the mega supermarkets anywhere else. I wish there was a Publix in Williamsburg. I also liked Albertson’s because they had a toy aisle.

Anyway, Rusty got Onion soup mix instead. I don’t if it made it better or worse, but dang these Fire Crackers were pretty good. I was impressed, since they sounded lame.

Homemade Crusty Pie

Rusty made this faux chicken pizza sandwich –Two Jeno’s Pizzas, Three-pack of Boca vegetarian Chicken Patties, slices of fresh jalapeno and homemade fancy sauce. It was pretty good. Now that I try to watch what I eat, it’s kind of ridiculous that I’d probably eat a whole one of these back in the day. It’s not too big or seem too unhealthy (because there’s not a whole lot of cheese on it), but I’m sure it’ll give me a heart attack if I ate this every day.

Rusty Stuffed Pork Chops

Thanks to Charles’ idea for stuffing pork chops with apples and thanks to Sam Murakami for The Expendables on Blu Ray, it was a good Crusty night dinner. Seared the pork chops and then slit them open to stuff them with jalapeño peppers, garlic and peppers and threw them in the oven to bake. Not bad. The apples gave it a bit of tartness, but it wasn’t overpowering.

Fudgie the Whale Cake Birthday Bash

We celebrated Rusty’s birthday with a Carvel Fudgie the Whale Cake, Boca Nuggets and Coors Lights. This is my first Fudgie. It sorta tasted like a Hot Fudge Sunday from McDonalds. It was really good. We cooked up some Boca Nuggets and real Chicken Nibblers. It’s crazy that real chicken costs a lot cheaper than fake chicken and the fake chicken tasted much more like real chicken. Baby Ike really liked the fancy sauce (mayo and ketchup).

Then headed out to check out Neil and Diane’s new club in Park Slope, The Rock Shop. They have an awesome upstairs and rooftop and the stage looks like it has a pretty rad sound system. I can’t wait to try it out.  Their Grand Opening party was catered from Oaxaca across the street. Some nice tacos there and green hot sauce.

Rusty’s mother sent him this old school assignment he did when he was a kid.
