Famous Dave's

any way I can

Definitely Cruzan Black Strap Rum. A black as tar Navy Rum that hails from the US Virgin Islands and tastes like spiked molasses. Perhaps an acquired taste, but for me, it was acquired on the very first sip.

Usually sirloin, but lately I've been enjoying some nice porterhouse cuts from my local grocer.

My veggie patch is brand new. Just built it a few weeks ago. A nice little 4'x8' raised bed built into a side hill in the yard, using four levels of 4"x4" cedar posts.

I've jammed it full with 5 tomato plants, 5 Bell Pepper plants, 8-10 yellow onions, 8-10 red onions, 4 heads of Iceburg lettuce, 2 rows of mixed lettuce greens/spinach/collard greens, 1 row of carrots, 2 cayenne pepper plants, and 2 Thai bird's eye chilli plants. Also have about a dozen green been plants started along the edge of a flower bed near the garden. And chives, basil, dill, cilantro, and parsley in planters on the back deck.

Can't wait for those fresh tomatoes!!!

I have a small bottle of black truffle oil that I drizzle over pasta on occasion.
And I once had a dish at an upscale local restaurant that involved a tuna steak topped with bacon slices and a quail egg, all on a bed of cooked grain (I think it was barley) in a very rich truffle sauce. I don't recall any shaved truffle on the dish though so I'd love to try the real thing.

ham, cheese, mayo, mustard

Any cut that lands on my plate

Ham, swiss, mustard, mayo, and pickled peppers from my uncle's garden.

In my fondest pork memory, I was eating it.

Any backyard pigroast. Whole hog baby!!!

Fondest pork memory...not quite... But definitely my most recent and disturbing pork memories was a few months ago. A couple days after a pig roast for my cousin's wedding, my dog Kenzie (a Westie) got a nasty case of doggie diahrea from licking at some roasted pig grease coated aluminum foil that was carelessly tossed asside after the butchering of the delicious hog. Sick dog = bad news....
