What's for dinner tonight?

[DrHenley]

Rellgar inspired me to make a pot of red beans and rice. I use spicy hot Italian venison sausage instead of Andouille, and normally use pinto beans, but the red beans were on sale, so this time I'm actually using red beans in my red beans and rice. I forgo the bell peppers (sacrilege I know, but I can't eat them) but make up for it with hot peppers and Lousiana Hot Sauce.

Sometimes I keep the sausage whole, sometimes I slice it, but this time it's chopped up.

Call the fire department! Put out this fire in my mouth! LOL
I might have gone overboard with the hot peppers this time. The sausage was hotter than normal I think.

You will know for sure if its really to hot, when it goes out your other end!!!

Well, my wife will like it when she gets home. She ate so much hot stuff when she was pregnant with our son that he was a chilihead from birth. LOL.

boiled duck eggs.

Tonight it was T-bone steak, roasted baby golden potaties with butter n herbs, roasted garlic cloves, steamed green beans, garlic freach bread. All cooked outside on the grill. Practice for after SHTF cooking, lol could not finish it.....yet

 

[bigpaul]

tonight was chicken, brussel sprouts and potatoes.

It's odd, normally, I don't like beans. Yet I do enjoy a good 15 bean soup (add some diced ham or bacon, diced onions, and some extra seasoning (a little garlic salt, some Vegeta, and a little smokehouse pepper).

I had that about 2 weeks ago and had trouble finishing it, so I made chili and just rinsed off the beans and threw them in. turned out great and nothing wasted..

You might add just a little sugar to it, somehow it makes it less painful. Plus get some of that crusty French bread like they serve with it in New Orleans. (Dang that stuff is good.)

Trying some stuffed jalepeno and cheese chicken breasts tonight. With some cheesy chicken pasta on the side.

I made some chicken tikka masala last night. Yum.

Heavy study week, so I now have a big pot of spicy beef ragu with chilli and cumin, ready for quick dinners: tonight it was tagliatelle with parmesan on top. The bit of parmesan wasn't quite big enough to be split into two, so I grated all of it and my dinner damn near disappeared underneath the pile

Made a crockpot of navy bean soup with a frozen hambone and some chunked ham. I’m good for a few days here. I’ll add some sweet cornbread tomorrow for a side.

Hard to go wrong with beans and ham. I keep reading/hearing about cornbread - most memorably in Aliens - but never eaten it. I should give it a go sometime.

I can’t stand the stuff unless it’s sweet. We have a brand here in the States called jiffy mix. It’s awesome! I know, most real southerners will never forgive me, but I like what I like!

Baked a whole chicken today. This was one of our free range meat chickens.

My wife got my mother's cornbread recipe and cooks it on the stovetop in a a cast iron pot. My paternal grandmother made the sweet kind, but I never liked it as much as my mother's cornbread. Most restaurant cornbread I've had was not really edible unless you used it to sop up pot liquor.

Ragu Part 2: with squash and peas.

Instant sweet cornbread! I love it. Oh, one other thing I like is soft and moist too. Most cornbread is dry and grainey. I’ve had some homemade with sugar added that was ok but the JiffyMix is still my favorite. What can I say, my mother wasn’t a great cook so that’s what I grew up with!

Its best if you add an xtra egg to the Jiffymix. Otherwise it tends to crumble.
