My "Near disaster"Food Fight Friday post for 2/7/2020, Foodies and Wednesday walk post.

The day started off cold, raining with some snow falling around
Atlanta. I did NOT want to go out.
Needing something to eat, I looked for something in my pantry, and
I saw some "Black Rice" I'd bought a couple weeks ago. I thought
"Rice for breakfast? Why not"

So I cooked some, it was good, not like rice at all, but I posted
In You Know Where that I'd cooked it, but now what?
One of my friends said "Grilled Portobello Mushrooms" go great with it.
I replied"Don't got no stinking portobellos, don't got no grill" and there
I would have remained, but my niece called and asked if I could go over
To check on her husband (hence the top image and these following)

Taking my other niece's dog out for a short walk, I got these photos

^{sorry it's blurred, dogs don't want to cooperate}


When I lived here, this neighbor would, every year at Christmas, get
Me to come over and help her drape the most GOD AWFUL gawdy lights
and silly decorations over this thing in her yard.

Guess I could use this for #bouldersunday as well 😉

I don't think this is a daffodil, but it doesn't quite look like a jonquil
Either. Smyrna Ga (where I now live) is "the Jonquil City"

The dog again, jerked the string I had him on
so finally, on to the phood!

Last week, either @plantstoplanks or @jaynie had a post about
"Kohlrabi" of which I'd heard but little else. They actually ordered
Some for me at the Kroger, so I bought one bunch.
Then I moved on to the 'antipasto bar'






(Oh! I'd also bought a 3 pack of big portobellos in the produce section)
I found a rack of "Baby Back Ribs" that were in the "Managers special"
Section, but did not have the marked down price; someone had
Picked it up, then decided they didn't want it or couldn't afford
It, and simply put it down. I took it to the meat market manager,
who marked it down ½ price for me! I asked him how to cook
It in the oven:"375° for about an hour" (it was already seasoned)

So I got home, turned on the oven, got my cookie sheet sprayed

Put the meat on in one corner (you see where I'm going with this?)
I peeled one of the Kohlrabi heads (roots? that weren't easy)


Cut it into french fries. My plan was to put the meat on, then about
Half way through, put in the veggies to roast, then finish with the
PORTOBELLOS

So the meat was in the oven, the Kohlrabi was sliced, I was marinating
The mushrooms. When I opened the oven to put the sliced veggies in...
It was barely warm!!! 😱 I mean, things were hot enough to burn me
If I touched the metal, and it HAD been red hot when I put the meat in.
But not now.

So I assembled everything, put it all together on the pan, and used
The BROILER

I don't have to tell you how mad I was, and how scared I was that all
This was going to go to waste.

But It Didn't!

So here is my

"Almost disaster Meal"
