Alright, let’s talk about this BK Family Bundle thing, you know, the one from that Burger King place. I heard folks yappin’ about it, so I figured I’d see what the fuss is all about. Now, I ain’t no fancy food critic or nothin’, just a regular person who likes a good, cheap meal, ya hear? First off, they say it’s good for families. Well, I guess that makes sense. You get a whole bunch of grub, enough to feed a whole passel of young’uns, or maybe just a couple…

Well, let me tell ya, talkin’ ‘bout them fajita side things, you know? Fajitas, they’re good and all, but you gotta have somethin’ to go with ‘em, right? Can’t just eat a pile of meat and peppers by itself, that ain’t right. First thing comes to mind is that rice, you know, the Mexican kind. Not just plain ol’ white rice, no sir. This here rice, it’s got all sorts of stuff in it, makes it look pretty and taste good too. Sometimes they put tomatoes in it, call it…

Alright, let’s talk about this water thing, you know, the kind they call “distilled.” Folks say it’s real clean, but can it go bad? I mean, water is water, right? But I heard some things, so let’s see if we can make sense of it all. What’s this distilled water anyway? Well, from what I gather, it’s water that’s been boiled and the steam is collected. Sounds like a lot of work if you ask me. They say it takes out all the junk, the minerals and stuff. Makes it…

Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… uh… Mexican roll sushi thing, ya know? My grandkid showed me a picture, looked kinda fancy, but I figured, hey, food is food, right? So, let me tell ya how I see it, how I’d make somethin’ like that, even though I ain’t never made no fancy sushi before. Don’t expect no chef talk from me, I just cook the way I cook, simple and good. First off, they say you need some kinda seaweed paper, nori they call it. But honestly, who has…

Well, hey there! Let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this tamarindo candy. You know, the stuff that makes your mouth pucker and your eyes water? Yeah, that’s the one. First off, they say it’s good for your belly. Somethin’ ’bout helpin’ you go to the bathroom easier. Like, you eat it, and then, boom! Everything just…moves along, if ya know what I mean. They call it “fiber” I think. Sounds fancy, but all I know is it helps ya poop. Now, some folks are always worried about their weight. Always…

Alright, let’s get down to business and make some of them fish cakes, you know, the kind with lake trout. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I can cook up a storm when I want to. This here recipe is simple, even my old dog could probably follow it, if he had thumbs, that is. First off, you gotta get yourself some lake trout. Now, I ain’t gonna tell you how to catch ’em, that’s your business. But you need enough to make a good batch of cakes,…

Alright, let’s talk about them puff pastry shells, you know, the little crispy things you fill up with stuff. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I know good eatin’ when I see it, and these things? They’re good eatin’. First off, you gotta get yourself some of them shells. You can find ‘em at the store, usually in the freezer part. Don’t go tryin’ to make ‘em yourself unless you got nothin’ better to do all day. Store-bought is just fine, trust me on that. Now, the important…

Well, howdy there! Let’s gab a bit about them Mexican drinks, the ones without the kick, you know, the ones the young’uns can have too. Not everyone wants that firewater, some folks just wanna cool down, especially when it’s hotter than a pepper sprout in July. First off, let’s talk about that Horchata. Sounds fancy, I know, but it ain’t. It’s just this milky kinda drink, made with rice and cinnamon. Real creamy and sweet, like a rice pudding you can drink. They soak that rice, then grind it up…

Alright, let’s talk about this brasciole thing, you know? It’s like, uh, meat rolls, but not the kind you get at the store, no sirree. This is the real deal, the kind you make at home when you wanna show off, or, you know, just have some good eatin’. First off, you gotta get the right meat. Don’t go buyin’ no fancy stuff, just some good beef, you know? The fella at the butcher shop, he knows. Tell him you want thin slices, like, real thin, almost see-through. They call…

Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna make this spinach artichoke dip thing, but we ain’t usin’ none of that mayo stuff. I ain’t never liked it, and I bet you don’t either. This here recipe is simple, real simple, even my old man could make it, and that’s sayin’ somethin’. First off, you gotta get yourself some spinach. Them frozen bags work just fine. Don’t go buyin’ that fresh stuff, all expensive and whatnot. Thaw it out good, then you gotta squeeze the water out. Like, really squeeze it. I…
