To love and be loved,
to believe and be believed,
is to be alive.
She fills my life with wonder.
Acute Cabin Fever

Look, I learned the intricate ways of photoshop and brought forth the ultimate image! Actually this is a real conversation that I witnessed between my dog and my brother’s cat. They often converse in speech bubbles that can only be read with a universal translator. Don’t go looking for intelligent thought here. All you’ll find are salmonberries.
This not the greatest blog in the world…

This is just a tribute to it’s creator, Jaybill. Without his technical expertise and understanding patience, mrjeffmccarthy.com would just be a big pile of cyber-wishes. So thanks brother, for helping me get this site off the ground, it has been a huge source of entertainment as well as an alleviation of boredom during a hard time. I don’t think I’ll be winning any Photoshop contests with this one, but at least Jaybill is one step closer to his life-long dream of being black. You can check out real pictures of my friends and family in my new photo gallery, called Cool People.
Fries With One Hand

If I can make a custard with one arm, then I can make bread pudding. If I can make bread pudding, then I can deep fry it. Jaybill came up with idea as a joke, but I really liked the idea of taking old croissants, soaking them in custard, baking them in a waterbath, breading them with panko, and then deep frying them. Anyway here’s Panko-Fried Chocolate Bread Pudding. PFBP for short. Check out how to make it in my new Recipes section.
Dogs Rule.

This is Oscar. He lives in Colorado with his owner Jay, and little sister Ginger. This picture makes me laugh out loud everytime I look at it. Thousands of books have been written about the awesome nature of dogs. personally I can sum it up like this: A dog is the one animal I probably wouldn’t eat. You can check out pics of my dogs, Jelly and Jam, in my new photos section, recently built by Jaybill.
The Cave

There’s nothing to do when you get hurt but crack a beer, take some drugs, go into the cave and pop in Goonies. The cave is where you pull the shades, shut the lights, turn off your phone. and stay there till the next day. You might also go to the cave with a really bad hangover. Its also where One Eyed Willy hangs out, in his boat, waiting for YOU to come and steal his treasure.
Radial Head Fracture

Ouch…I think the quote of the day was by my Dad “Well you used to bend, but now you snap!” Two broken bones in as many years…from skateboarding! I’m getting old! In the McCarthy tradition I took this photo in the ER, and it actually looks semi normal compared to how it looked right when I injured it. The” ’s’ deformation” it had right when it broke was a bit much for me to look at…so I straightened it. This will definitely require surgery. I’ll be outta commission for awhile I guess.
Butter Poaching

Here is a couple of pork loins that Jaybill and I butter poached. We used an infused clarified butter to poach, and then seared them on a hot griddle. The infusion of shallots, sage, peppercorns, garlic and bayleaf imparted such a great flavor to the butter during clarification that we have been using as much as possible over the last week. Roux, garlic bread, pate choux, poached eggs, yum yum yum yum yum. I can hear my fat…it says…butter poach bacon.
