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.

 

[DrHenley]

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!!!

 

[DrHenley]

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.

 

[lonewolf]

boiled duck eggs.

 

[Proud Prepper]

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

 

[lonewolf]

tonight was chicken, brussel sprouts and potatoes.

 

[brandx]

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.)

 

[Gazrok]

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.

 

[DrHenley]

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.

Im baking cornbread tonight to go with the butter beans and shrimp I made.

My wife always adds an egg or oil or something that fixes it up some. I’m good with it as is too though.

Never tried the addition of apples in it before but sounds interesting.

Apples are fried to the point of being a little more than semi soft but not mushy (potatoes and apples fried in real butter). It used to be common with the spotters that stayed in the fire watch towers in our national forest, my grand mother use to cook potatoes that way.

Im off this weekend so I picked up a Smithfield ham to bake. Quatered some potatoes and put in the bottom of a pan then cut up a head of cabbage on top of them added salt pepper and butter snd slow cooking that . All should be good .

 

[Mountain trapper]

I'm making chili today. It's an all day process so it won't be any good until later tonight. I start with cutting up a couple good quality steaks into 1" square pieces, brown some sausage and cut up some thick sliced bacon. Then I add a couple cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili spices and then hot peppers, lots of hot peppers. I chop up a combination of habaneros, Thai peppers, cayanne and some others that I can't identify. Normally I add burbon, Guinness or tequila to the pot but I'm all out. Its been simmering on the wood stove all afternoon.
Note; I never add beans or water to my chili.
