No, we aren’t talking about Brittany Spears here. Or even asparagus spears. SWMBO demanded a repeat of the beanie-weenies from the other night, and who am I to ignore her? In fact, I even went so far as to make a double batch in the Dutch oven.
Other than doubling the ingredients, the only difference between this batch and the previous one was to sneak in some Big Butz No Butz sauce instead of the SBR. Hey, it was what was open, and we have a lot of it on hand. Not only that, it spiced the beanie-weenies up even more. And we like that.
The other difference from the other night was the addition of some nice grilled pineapple, made true to the recipe.
As much as I don’t like to repeat myself this soon after cooking something, tonight’s meal was very satisfying. And easy. Important after a hard day of mowing the swamp. And Diablo III. Mustn’t forget that.
Have I mentioned recently that it’s a real bitch to be gainfully unemployed?

Chicken satay is supposed to be on skewers. And I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be using something called “Pig Pollen” as a base spice for it, either. At least half were flavored in a (more-or-less) traditional manner…
And yes, that grill was very clean before I started. Looks like I get to do that over again soon. The more-or-less traditional satay were those in the back. I didn’t have enough spice mix to cover all of the chicken, so I reached in the cupboard and pulled out some Big Butz Pig Pollen. Some that had been hanging around since the test-batch days. It still smelled ok, so on the chicken it went. Once done, the chicken ended up on a plate with more jicama salad and some green bush-looking things.
The jicama salad was made properly with fresh pineapple and without all the extra stuff I had to add yesterday for flavor. The acidity of the pineapple combined with the sesame-ginger dressing provides plenty of bite and sweetness all on its own.
We won’t mention that the recipe calls for green bell peppers and not red ones…
