Dining With Darla

Dining With Darla

Riding the back roads makes me hungry. The inspiration for these dishes comes from some old family recipes which have been handed down through the family on old filing cards and scraps of paper. And then mixing a bit of this with that. Don’t think that the quantities are carved in stone, consider them suggestions.. Experiment with them, season to your liking, and have some fun. Remember, if it all goes south, you can always call out for pizza. 

 

Biker Barbeque (Sloppy Joe’s)

1 pound Ground Beef

1 Medium Onion chopped 

1 Green Pepper

2 cups Catsup - add more if you prefer

2 tbsp Mustard

2 tbsp Worcester Sauce

1 tbsp Vinegar

2 tbsp Sugar

½ cup Water

Brown ground beef in a large skillet with onion and green pepper. Once meat is browned, drain the grease. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Serve as open-faced sandwiches with some fries on the side.

 

Moto Meat Loaf

1 pound Ground Beef

1 Medium Onion chopped

1 Egg beaten 

1 tbsp Mustard

3 tbsp Catsup

1 tbsp Worcester Sauce

⅓ cup Milk

1 cup Bread Crumbs

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Place in a baking dish. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Make enough so you’ll have some leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches. Mmmmm. 

 

Moped Manicotti

1 Clove Garlic crushed

1 cup Cottage Cheese

4 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1 tsp Salt

Place manicotti in a single layer in a baking dish. Sprinkle top with any remaining filling. Cover with spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle with Oregano and Parmesan Cheese. Cover with foil. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Remove foil and back for another 10 minutes. Serve with some breadsticks and your favorite beverage. 

  • Motorcycles vs Covid-19

    To paraphrase the Grateful Dead, what a short, strange trip it's been. It's only been about two months since steps were taken to combat the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and it's no fun.

Brian started Stitch On Time more than four decades ago doing interiors for custom vans.

His seats have been on many prize-winning custom bikes throughout the state and around the world. The shop carries an expansive selection of materials in hundreds of styles, prints, and colors. One of Brian’s specialties is authentic gator-hide seats. Along with making them look fantastic, he creates seats that are comfortable. Brian was a pioneer in the use of memory foam for motorcycle seats. Each seat is specifically designed to fit the rider based on their height and weight.

Whether you're looking for style, comfort, or both, give Brian a call.
