I may not have been around the blog in a while but that doesnt mean I wasnt slingin' hash. The little trip to Nashville was fun. I got to see some old college friends, one that I see about once a year and another that neither one of has seen in more than 10 years. Oh, and we are all native New Mexicans, yup we are from the Land of Enchantment!
We drank we swam we talked about old times....
(this is the one I see often and I think he is going to do something so I am suspicious)
and we even went honky tonkin'.
Most meals were for about 8 people on average -ages varying- so as a result of that people ended up eating blurry food.
In Tennessee they put the beans on the cornbread and then they put stewed tomatoes on top of that, not my favorite.
What was my favorite was having huevos rancheros with Hatch chile.
We drank so much and even put food in the pool.
I found all kinds of edible mushrooms. (well two kinds at least)
that were added to wild mushrooms I brought
that went into the risotto that we floated in the pool!

That plate of food in the pool is just to funny.
I'd love to visit Nashville someday.
OK, I'm going to have to try that pool trick. I'm assuming it only works with certain types of plates.
One of these days, I want to visit that famous diner outside of Nashville.
Glad you had a fun trip and finally got to have some Hatch chiles, cool!
Does the pool trick only work when you drink? Looks like you had a great time catching-up with an old friends. No doubt that you made new ones too. Thanks for letting me sit in my chair and take the photo journey of your trip with you-
Wow! Sounds like you had great Tennessee experience.
Floating food is cool!
Risotto, pools, drinking...what's not to like?! I always come to your blog when I'm hungry. Looks like a great trip.
jenn: we had to do something - all the wild mushrooms freaked people out
TW: the mushrooms had no affect on the float factor it was plate all the way...

Hey, I think I have those mushrooms growing all over my front lawn. They don't cause hallucinations, do they/
Oh, I just love Nashville!!! Sounds (and looks) like you had a good time :D Welcome back.
TBD: we went to Roberts - and two others but we came back to Roberts
cinnamon: hard to eat though
DH: do you see a 'floating' plate?
girli: I am the 'anti-traveler' so I need more days - long weekends are too stressful
Looks like you had a great time!
When we lived in Tennessee, I made certain to specify that my food was never to be piled. Or mingled. Or combined. Glad you had fun.
Ok, I am just gonna be honest here for the hundreth time, shave the pointy goat, untuck the shirt and WTF is that thang around your neck? Have you lost your ever living mind??? Come on dog, Mr NYC Mr Manhattan City Slicker..what is this??? Is it black puka shells?? (is that even how you spell that mr spell check fanatic??) Did you regress to your native indian roots or what????
BTW, welcome home!!!!
XOXOXOX

nutmeg: fun, fun, fun
marjie: I dont know how you managed - they glop
snugs: the shirt tail on that shirt is unusually long....

now your friends sound like my friends: when it's time to have fun--it's time to have FUN; anything goes.
honky tonk eh? what does that entail exactly? LOL!
I'd like to do that plate in the pool...very cool..
I thoroughly enjoyed this post and my smile turned into laughter as I scrolled down. Sounds like you guys had a fantastic time!
I'll see what I can do...
a floating risotto! That can't be an everyday thing in Nashville...
I admire a man that can still cook while under the influence.. Lord knows, I've done it!
glad you had a great and fun time :)
Fun times and great food! I don't think I'd mind the beans and tomatoes with the cornbread. I'll have to try that.
Why yes is was Nashville! Looks like a whole lotta good grub to me!
how fun and is that a pabst blue ribbon you're holding? have not seen that for a long while. my dad used to drink that beer.
I know nothing about it
salut Chezqui, wow that is definitely a fun reunion! Never been to Nashville, you mastered the art of plate floating on the pool by balancing and centering the food right in the middle!
