More homemade blackeye beans for me 😀 Thank-you very much 👍😀😀😀
I don't get tired of em.
I figure , the more blackeyes, the more luck !

Dog gone it though !!! Everybody ! Talkin bout chile beans,🤔. That's gonna be next . No written down recipe, butt , I know everything to use in my head . Can anybody guess, how many times a year I make chile beans ???

12 times? We love them and I make them at least once a month.

I made homemade mac & cheese for our evening meal. We have a milking job and I take our own supper, as we stay over at the guy's house. Too far to drive back home and back again for the next milking. (23 miles one way). Easier that way. I want something I can just warm up for us to have for supper.

Just finished off another big bowl of venison stew. It was even better that the day I made it...gets that way the longer it sets

Well ?🤔??? Margaret....Karen. I can't say, who the winner is. I've never counted, how many times a year I make chile beans. But, ya both get a 👍up for guessing. 😀😀😀
See 🕵️, I make 8 quart pot at a time. About 3 or 4 times a year. That's about 8 or 10 servings for me .
SOOO ??? How do I figure that out ?


I use lots of cumin, yum.
I have, I believe , secret ingredient, I add when bean are finished cooking, a small can of tomato paste.👍

Ta Ta.
😎😎😎

No more Chili talk
Glad most are feeling better, I hate winter

Snowstorm and frigid cold here so we are housebound for a while. Fried chicken and salads tonight with a side of pizza

I feel like crap......I have the SU's cough. I even took a couple,doses pf his prescription cough dope......did not help much.

The cable company finally repaired and the internet is working again!
I've been stuck inside the house due to the ice and snow so I'm just eating whatever is in the frig. There is no water since a pipe froze so no more clean dishes.

Salads, apples, cheese, ham, some toast with peanut butter, soup, soup and more soup. I'm using the plastic storage containers as soup bowls.
This is the Nicaraguan soup my neighbor sent over during the storm.


Hope to get the pipe repaired soon. I can take the bus pan full of dirty dishes to my daughter's place now that the ice has melted from my car.

I feel weird, weak and slow motion. But all this mention of chili is making me want a hot bowl with buttered saltines. Does anyone remember when we called them soda crackers or is my age showing?

Soda crackers to us had no salt and were thick like oyster..
Saltines were thin..salty..tiny holes....and should always be served with grape jelly coming between the holes on a saltine sandwich..sweet and salty! Yum!

Here in Cincinnati, we're chili experts. Our chili is a little different, and we eat in with oyster crackers:

The Cincinnati chili looks good.

I remember soda crackers. I buy the Goya brand; they come in a green can and stay fresh a good long time.

Two kinds of crackers I miss:
Uneeda biscuits; they were a basic ingredient in my aunt's recipe for stuffed clams.
I can substitute soda crackers but it was always fun to say "You need a biscuit!"

And Euphrates crackers; they were served in restaurants and diners back in the 60s
but have been discontinued. They had sesame seeds on top and were delicious.

I remember Uneeda biscuits, but not the Euphrates.

Tonight we had baked salmon, Jasmati rice, cauliflower tots, and steamed green beans. After having been gone from the house most of the day, it made for a nice, quick, easy dinner.

Anna and Salt Do hope you both get to feeling better soon.

Philip, as the 8-10 servings each batch averages 9, let's go with that. Even if you only make chili 3 times a year, that's 27 servings, which means enough for twice a month and then some. If it's 10 servings 4 times a year, those 40 servings over 12 months would pretty much make chili a main event each week. Regardless, that's a lot of chili! I'll have it a few times a winter, and then, more often than not, it comes out of a can with a Hormel label.

Here the blizzard has FINALLY moved on. Howling wind all day with snow falling 2 inches an hour at times. I bet we got a foot of the white stuff. Tomorrow's high is forecast to be 16 with a "real feel of -9" because of continuing high winds. I have a long driveway, bum foot, and a cold. Fortunately, I also have friends with a mondo-snow blower. Sure hoping they drop by tomorrow.

This afternoon (after a rare weekday brunch of French toast and bacon), I made a fresh batch of chicken soup with the flakes and some seeds of a dried (garden) chili pepper. I also hit the soup with a shot of vinegar. Tasted great and really worked wonders. Along with that I had the end of the chicken lo mein I made the other night, and that too with pepper flakes. Upon heating, it became a bit of chow mein, lo mein. And although it's been challenged, I'm running with the theory that capsaicin helps battle cold symptoms. It worked for me... while cooking and tasting, and then come dinner time. Plus there's no doubt that chicken soup is healing!

Thanks Whitebeard. Coricidan BP is helping. I'm going to add a drop or two of vinegar to the soup. Sounds good. No peppers or tabasco on hand though.

Pork chili verde from the freezer over leftover wild rice/ cauliflower, and fresh green beans.

Karen, I think I will have to try your Cincinnati chili one of these days, sounds interesting.

I have some split pea soup for lunch and after that I am planning on bacon, eggs and pancakes for dinner. Yes, I know that should be breakfast but I never eat breakfast as I never can eat in the morning. Always been that way my entire life. But I like breakfast things so will have breakfast for dinner.
