Well, I had some of the best chili I have had in a long time. My youngest sister made it using her father-in-laws recipe called “Chili Verde”. I was skeptical when she mentioned it had Jimmy Dean pork sausage in it, and I was expecting traditional “Chili Verde”..pork cubes in tomatillo green sauce. When I saw that it was actually more like chili with beans, and tasted it….oh my….😋. I poured the last helping over some Nacho Cheese Doritos, one of my favorite things to do with chili. Mmm, mmm, mmm. It has a chicken broth, tomatillo, and green chili base. Not nearly as “presentable” (and looks like a pile of ?) as @Londy3’s spread, but still tasty.
@RockyMountainBriar Mmmm I love chilli especially with beans. I know, I know some say chili is not supposed to have beans. I like em. Have you ever had your chili in a three way? (That was a hint)
I'm a little stumped on pairing this great dish with a pipe. Guess that's half fun!
Breakfast menu today: Fresh ground Counter Culture 42 coffee. Main menu: Greek poached eggs. This delightful breakfast is served with two poached eggs on a bed of plain Greek yogurt, drizzled with caramelized garlic and smoked paprika sauce, topped with fresh basil and kalamata olives. Served with toasted naan points and fresh mimosas.
I have to do all the cooking for the family, my wife would burn a pot of boiling water.....and that's if she could manage to figure out how to turn the burner on. 😂
@Zouave 😂🤣 Well, I guess it's good we have this threat then. We can all share and support our cooking and recipe ideas. I actually enjoy cooking I just hate the clean up.
@Londy3@Zouave My wife sucks at cooking AND cleaning, but I refuse to do both after meals and since I have the background in the restaurant biz, I do all the cooking and she does everything that resembles cleaning up afterward.
Jambalaya with a Bloody Cesar made with my homemade spicy clamato juice (left over juice from making salsa) and pickled and fresh vegetables.
Haven't figured out how to smoke while eating so I can't say I actually paired it with pipe tobacco, but I did smoke a bowl of Capt. Earle's Mystic Blend afterward.
@mapletop Well, you can't really smoke and eat but, you can with happy hour before you eat or while food is getting prepped 😁 Your jambalaya looks yummy. Comfort food right there. I'll m curious about your bloody clamato cocktail
@Londy3 When I can salsa there is always a lot of left over juice because everything in it is fresh from my garden and the tomatos give up so much liquid.
In addition to the left over juice I add another cooked down batch of tomato sauce and a one quart can of clam juice, cook it a bit and bottle it; then it into the down stairs fridge
I had a couple years on some bottles with no problems. I have canned it but finally said why, it usually doesn't last a year.
@vtgrad2003 Being facetious? It's called India Pale Ale because it was a Pale Ale made in England and exported to India in the early 1800s. From what I've read, the East India Trading Company was looking to ship pale ale to India but it would go bad on the long voyage. The company asked a local brewery to make a highly hopped pale ale in an attempt to find an ale that wouldn't go bad. The extra hops preserved the ale and it was referred to as India Pale Ale.
