Went grocery shopping today for my fam, and I typically get a specific brand of sausage as a meat option to cook with, and I stg this bitch ass sausage cost me like 30 bucks. The hell man. Like a third of my food budget on that sausage. Strapped for cash over a sausage.

Unforgotten: Episode 14 -Unforgotten Talk

In Ep. 14 of Unforgotten, we're discussing a couple of previous cases, a couple of new cases, and what we know about the heartbreaking tragedy that occurred in Dadeville on April 15th.

This week we needed a little extra time for research, and we thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss a few of the previous episodes, two current missing person cases, and the events in Dadeville that have left their small town in shock. Join Sellers and Stormy for “Unforgotten Talk!” Continue reading Untitled

I caught a spinach, Tomatoe, and artichoke flatbread on sale over the weekend and decided to use the 4th leftovers to turn it into something special.

Introducing... Spinach, Tomatoe, and artichoke flatbread with chopped smoked rib meat cut from the bone, conecuh sausage, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms and Red onions sautéed in a pesto sauce.

[confinesofmy]

one of my cousins put ground pork in a cabbage dish he's been making for years (i am allergic to pork) and the side dishes were devilled eggs (i am allergic to eggs) and potato salad (i really shouldn't eat that much mayonnaise with an egg allergy) and it smelled crazy bad in there bc of my post-covid parosmia (this cannot really be accommodated and i understand that) and my cousin was asking three other people and me what we thought of the pork being ground up instead of patties and two other people gave their opinions and then i said that with my pork allergy it kinda made it inedible bc i couldn't pick it out. he got confused, but like angry-confused, pointed out that conecuh sausage is also pork like i didn't know and was making this whole thing up. then when i convinced him that i at least think that i have a pork allergy he said well if i were you and i "couldn't eat pork" i'd kill myself. so maybe i just won't go back over to his place aside from holidays lol.

[transgenderer]

Conecuh Ridge Whiskey is a type of whiskey produced and officially marketed as "Clyde May's Alabama Style Whiskey" by Conecuh Ridge Distillery Inc. It is marketed as a high-quality aged moonshine whiskey which was produced illegally in Alabama during the mid to late 20th century. The brand was legalized by the moonshiner's son Kenny May.

In 2004 it was designated the official "State Spirit" of Alabama by legislative resolution.[1] Later the same year the brand's founder Kenny May was charged with several violations of Alabama liquor laws, to which he pleaded guilty. After a 15-month period during which the whiskey was unavailable for purchase, the brand ownership was restructured and production resumed.

Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky Trio Incorrect Quotes!

I just love them <3 these three deserve more love (so do, like, half of the states tbh lmao)

I don’t BELIEVE there are any triggering topics, but some of these are Indiana/Alabama; nothing too shippy but if you don’t like the ship,, sorry ig

— — — —

Indiana: Without ugly, there would be no beauty in this world.

Kentucky: Thank you for your sacrifice, Alabama.

***

Kentucky: Alabama gave me a get better soon card.

Indiana: That's sweet!

Kentucky: I wasn't sick, they just think I can do better.

***

Alabama/Indiana Ship!

Kentucky: That shirt looks great, Alabama.

Alabama: Thanks.

Kentucky: But I bet it would look even better on Indiana's floor.

Indiana: Are you hitting on Alabama... for me?

***

*Something crashes*

Indiana: Shoot-

Alabama: *running into the room in a panic* WHAT FELL?!

Kentucky: *walking by the room calmly* What died?

***

Kentucky: Regular soda is too sweet!

Alabama: Diet soda has a weird after taste!

Kentucky: No! Ugh, oh my god. Diet soda is THE BEST! It doesn't have sugar! It's SPICY!

Alabama: It has other weird stuff in it! I'll take REGULAR sugar in my REGULAR soda!

Kentucky: It's SO SWEET like it's a dessert though! Diet feels more like a drink!

Alabama: I'm going to physically attack you.

Kentucky: Which is better, Indiana?

Indiana: Oh, I usually drink water!

Alabama: Wha- NO!

Kentucky: DISGUSTING!

***

Fun Fact: Indiana’s state drink is water, Alabama’s is Conecuh Ridge Whiskey, and Kentucky’s is milk!

***

Kentucky, to Indiana: You know, Alabama can be really aggressive, so it's important to take all the necessary precautions when approaching.

Kentucky: *blows airhorn at Alabama* GET FUCKED!

***

Alabama/Indiana Ship!

Indiana: Come on, Kentucky. Nobody actually believes that Alabama is in love with me.

Kentucky, to the South: Raise your hand if you think that Alabama is helplessly in love with Indiana.

*Everyone raises their hand*

Indiana: Alabama, put your hand down.

***

Indiana: Everyone thinks I'm this soft cute person but I'm not!

Alabama: Indiana, you cried for an hour after stepping on a bug yesterday.

Indiana: It had feelings! It was probably going home to dinner and I killed it!

Kentucky: ...It was a bug.

Indiana: It was a BEETLE, and its wife is definitely worried sick, wondering where it is, and I really don't get why you all think I'm so sentimental because I'm not!

Alabama: ...

Kentucky: ...

Indiana: Stop looking at me like that!

***

Fun Fact: Indiana’s state fruit is lychee, Alabama’s is peaches, and Kentucky’s is blackberries!

***

Alabama/Indiana Ship!

Indiana: Why doesn’t Alabama find me sexy when I bite my lip?

Kentucky: What do you look like when you bite your lip?

Indiana: *bites lip*

Kentucky: ...Have you considered biting your bottom lip instead?

***

Kentucky: If you get in trouble, I'm gonna be like... a lawyer to you. Ok?

Indiana: Okay.

*later*

Gov: Indiana! Sit down on the chair, you're in trouble.

Kentucky, whispering: Deny everything.

Indiana, loudly: That isn't a chair.

***

Alabama: I apologize for saying 'fuck' in front of Indiana.

Kentucky: You just said it again.

Indiana:

Alabama: I am not a role model.

***

Indiana: Are you drunk?

Alabama: Only on the spirit of Christmas!

Kentucky: And the spirit of whiskey.

***

Alabama & Indiana: *accidentally set the kitchen on fire*

Alabama: We need an adult!

Indiana: Alabama, we are adults!

Alabama: We need an adultier adult! Get Kentucky!

***

*Kentucky dies in a game with ships*

Indiana: This ship is no longer a ship of love, it's a ship of vengeance, a gavel of justice against all that is wrong in the world, showing no mercy, as no mercy was shown to us.

Indiana: The spark of love will now fuel the fires of destructive glory as I wage my war across the world with righteous fury.

Alabama: Legend has it that Kentucky still haunts the ship, stealing my fucking drinks.

Kentucky: Of course I do.

***

Kentucky: Alabama, I know you love Indiana. I mean, we all do, they’re a very nice person and I respect them immensely.

Kentucky: But I think they might be a fucking idiot.

***

Alabama: Hey, Kentucky you're smart, tell me what would happen if I chugged 3 gallons of chloroform.

Kentucky: Have you ever been to a mortuary?

Alabama: Yea, my grandma lives there.

Indiana: That is the worst response to that question.

***

Kentucky: I'm not doing to well.

Indiana: What's wrong?

Kentucky: I have this headache that comes and goes.

*Alabama enters the room*

Kentucky: There it is again.

***

*Alabama is laying on the floor with their eyes closed*

Indiana: Hey, are they sleeping or dead?

Kentucky: Hopefully dead, I hated them.

Indiana: Yeah, me too.

Alabama, sitting up: First of all, fuck you guys.

***

Alabama: When you work at lush and a customer comes in and bites the soap because they think it’s cheese... this happens way more frequently than you think.

Indiana: If you stopped literally presenting soap as deli food this wouldn't happen.

Alabama: Who goes into a bath store and thinks something covered in glitter is cheese?

Kentucky: Who goes to the store and just takes a bite from the cheese?

***

Indiana: So, are you two friends?

Kentucky: Yes.

Alabama: No.

***

Indiana: I’m afraid of clowns. There, I said it.

Kentucky: Indiana, if you don't like clowns, why are you hanging with Alabama?

***

Indiana: It smells like henway in here.

Kentucky:

Alabama: Kentucky.

Alabama, forcefully: Doesn't it smell like henway in here?

Kentucky: *sigh*

Kentucky: What's a henway?

Indiana: OH ABOUT TEN POUNDS!

[kabillieu]

Because Dominic was sick this past weekend, he didn't do a grocery run. Anyone who has met me in person and spent even a small amount of time with me has probably heard me complain about the linked chores of meal planning / grocery shopping / cleaning out the fridge to make room for groceries / putting groceries away / washing the dirty containers that old food was in / cooking dinner. I don't have great executive function, so I get overwhelmed easily by the way all these chores are interrelated, how they cascade into each other, how doing one chore (meal planning) makes another chore (grocery shopping) which makes another chore (cleaning out the fridge) which makes another chore (dishes), and I haven't even gotten to the cooking a meal part! Anyway, I'm doing a little better with all these chores and have gotten into a rough routine to keep them moderately separated.

Except grocery shopping.

Grocery shopping has always been sensory hell for me, but the pandemic really underscored how torturous I find it. I don't ever want to go back to regularly doing this chore. Luckily, Dominic doesn't mind. So rambling story short, Dominic was sick and didn't grocery shop, so we don't have a lot of food in the house. Or, to be more accurate, we have tons of food but not a lot that makes a good dinner. And I barely tolerate breakfast foods for breakfast (this is probably one of the sketchiest things about me; but I've been like this since a child), so that's out. I thought about making hot dogs since we have frozen wieners and buns, but that made me so grouchy I wanted to weep. (I believe hot dogs are outside food.) So I thought about it some more, and I realized we had sweet potatoes, black beans, and Conecuh sausage, and all the fixings for soft tacos. So I diced and roasted the sweet potatoes with seasonings and opened up two cans of beans and seasoned those, fried some sausage rounds, and then we ate them with flour tortillas, sour cream, salsa verde, and shredded mozzarella (goat cheese or cotija would have been better but that's what we had).

It was very, very good. And it's a dinner I'll make again because it was easy and healthy (sausage aside) and everyone liked it.

Also, if you ever see Conecuh sausage in the grocery store you have to get it because, to me, there is simply no other smoked sausage. Conecuh is such a superior sausage that it has ascended and is in a class of food all on its own. I don't know why it's so good. What are they putting into sausage in Evergreen, Alabama? Who knows. Who cares. It's Conecuh. It's divine.
