Whats on the menu tonight?

With beans.Chili.I won,t get upset if a little cheese gets sprinkled on top before serving. Any crackers will suffice, but oyster are nice.

What?No cornbread,chili isnt chili with at least a half pound hunk of cornbread.
 

A cheat on the cornbread is to add a can of creamed corn.
ED I've tried most things I could get ahold of at one time. Failed miserably at a winter possum chased down during a warm spell though. Tasted like a wet dog smells.

Do you blanch the corn before you freeze it? I have never frozen corn on the cob, but I'm going too!

I just thought of something I haven't ate in a 'coons age'. I used to slice drysalt bacon thin like breakfast bacon. (I"ll eat thick sliced bacon; but prefer the thin.) I started this while working in the butcher shop of a grocery store. We'd fry the bacon nice and crisp; serve it with cream gravy, fresh sliced tomatoes, and what ever else we decided to have with it. The doctor's told me that an occasional 'splurge' in my diet wouldn't be too bad. I may try to get some drysalt bacon, or jowl either one, next time I go to the store.

We also, did this menu, exchanging the bacon for 'round steak'. That's 'bologna' to most folk. lol

As for cornbread with chili, I don't know if I'd ever heard of that until about a month ago when my son-in-law made a big pot of chili and asked me to make a large pan of cornbread. I didn't use cream style corn or honey in this batch, but do sometime.

I remember my grandmother talking about 'possum being very greasy.

When I worked for a Gulf Oil Distributor back in Texas between 1967 and 1978, he would go deer hunting every year or so. His two sons had a large tent, I believe it slept 12 people. One son would take the tent and some of his buddies to Colorado, set up a camp and stay one week; then the other son would the father and his buddies to the camp, stay a week, tear down the camp and bring the tent home. I'll call him 'Tom', not his real name. One year, Tom returned from the hunt and told about one evening meal. They took an old black man that we knew with them. He served as 'camp cook'. The guys would leave early and return during the evening. One evening they got to camp and 'Preacher', the black man, had dinner/supper ready. He wouldn't tell them what it was until after they ate. Everybody enjoyed it. Then they were told that it was armadillo! He had killed one several days before, dressed it, wrapped it, and put it in a snowbank. Then killed another one the day he cooked them.
 

Well... I was going to make BLT's. Bacon cooked in the oven, yes, it is superb that way!
Sourdough bread, and lettuce out of the garden. Avacado too!
So it would be a BLTA.

Wait what's that?

Wife just informed me..nope. Pizza from a local legend Wild River Pizza. And I will get A growler of Double Eagle Imperial Stout!
Wild River Brewing
