Holy hell Risto. I wouldn't have the patience for five lbs of tots. Do you repair pocket watches?

Cut open half way through tater tots. Insert a sliver of Sharp Cheddar. Wrap in bacon. Toothpick it together and bake in the oven. Drain on napkin/paper towel. Cold brew.

that's a redneck meatball right there...:;:thumbsup

I usually end up making brats or some other ground cased meats, just because my wife won't eat them. She says they are gross but I just don't think she wants anyone to know she will eat something considered so unhealthy. Other than that I usually just try to drink like I'm in college again. I fail miserably, especially when trying to function the next day.

Hamburger helper for me and the kids juiced up with tater tots and peas. The wife hates it and we love it.

I don't know what I would cook if the wife was away. Been married almost fourteen years and she's never really left. Your all lucky. But I do 90% of the cooking normally so probably wouldn't change much.

Classic - those type of folks will also often order a fettuccine alfredo dish or some such - with breadsticks - and not give it a second thought.

Galwhofishes was a fat/oil nazi when we met 15 years ago but I am making slow and steady progress.

I remember when my mom would be gone. I knew mac and cheese or rice-a-roni paired with deer sausage was going to be dinner. Still hits the spot.

I put some left over country style sausage sliced thin in with my eggs, onions, green peppers, and shrooms, mrs johnr hates it. It has now become a Saturday morning tradition...haha, she eats a slice of toast instead.

Svnmag Bad Hangover Remedy

I've posted this before and will hopefully get rightful amount of accolades this time damn it.

Two potatos
Four eggs
Half lb of bacon, ham or hotdogs (If using bacon, nuke on high 20 seconds less than a minute per slice between paper towels)
Extra sharp shredded cheddar
Sour cream
Seasonings--I like S/P, chili powder, garlic and onion powder, and a good smack of cayenne.
(I guess you could add peppers and onions but effing yuck)

Heat generous amount oil or bacon grease in skillet (not enough for deep frying, enough to maintain "sizzle" as ingredients are added)
Coarsely chop potatoes (I don't have a shredder; if I did, I'd be a fiend with it)
Throw potatoes in hot skillet and cover for a while
Uncover and stir
Add seasonings

When spuds begin to brown, fry uncovered and add meat (crumble bacon into the skillet--if using ham or hotdogs, stir a good bit to not burn potatoes.)

When everything is browned to your liking, turn down heat, yell at cats to STFU/get away, fill a cupped hand with water, toss on cats, add a bit more cat food to their baking pan on floor after they just effing ate

Wash hands
Add eggs either scrambled or not (scrambled seems to add more volume and provide better texture) stir more
When eggs are nearly cooked, turn off heat
Cover with a shi'ite ton of cheese and re-lid skillet until melted
Slide onto plate or eat out of skillet with a large assed Dollop of Daisy

Enjoy with a large glass of V-8 with stirred-in black pepper and a warm "What's On Your Mind"/Rush Limbaugh combo. Have a nap. (I'm going to assume you know to drink water during preparation.)Thumbs Up

Ready to go with more NDAThumbs Up;)

bacon and butter....you really can't go wrong. If (and that's a big if) the wife is gone for a multiple day stretch the bacon grease gets saved on the stove top and used in everything else prepared over that time frame.

for main meals it's usually steak and taters, and the taters cooked in bacon grease...steak on the grill if I would ever get tired of steak (ha,ha,ha can't believe I just said that) then burgers big huge 80% lean start them off at about 3/4 lbs each so when they shrink down the are still too big for the bun

Hotdogs cooked in bacon grease are extremely delicious...

My only issue with all of this would be that I could never manage all that effort with a bad hangover. By the time I'd gotten halfway through it, I'd be on hair-of-the-dog, and I'd finish it buzzing. Then again, at that time, a nap would be just the thing...
