Aww, you already knew what you were doing!
But it is a french term for what you where doing.
I cooked a big pot of charro beans today, but it still was 100 degrees here this afternoon. Will autumn ever really come to Texas?
Charro beans are awesome!
I have an old stoneware bean pot
I did make some beans about a month and a half ago when it was 107 degrees outside.
I saw two smoked ham hocks for $1.50
What could I do? LoL
Wow, that was a good deal. I like smoked pork jowls, too, but darn, they haven't been cheap in a long time. Hmm, I think I like anything that has the words smoked and pork in it.
I had two end cuts from a tavern ham I had sliced up, and threw those into my beans..also, some bacon, chorizo, and a bottle of Guiness. I didn't have any Shiner Bock or Shiner Black.
On barding, which I always called larding..Some where around here there is an old larding needle. I wonder if they still sell those in stores?
Shiner black is awesome, I haven’t the heart to use it for cooking.
It is soo good.
Basically I made a pot of charros with those smoked ham hocks
Lots of onion and some cilantro.
If they were borracho y loco, I would add the beer.
*plop* YUMMY!!!
Please please please ping me with the recipe...
;)
You live in a....box? ;)
mark for later
I know this is way late,but what did you have in your childhood? I know my childhood meals were a lot different from my in-laws meals who grew up during the Great Depression.
And while he was growing up, my husband had different things than I did,even though we lived around fifteen miles of each other and each had one parent of the same ethnic backround(French Canadian).
For instance,at my house,we would have dandelion greens,tongue,eels,smelts,freshly caught hornpout(northern version of catfish for any unfamiliar),trout we caught ourselves,same with frog legs,fresh spinach and things like that but my husband didn’t have things like that. Even though we lived geographically close,are of the same partial
ethnicity and of the same economic class.
I had lots of fish growing up,for example and he had almost none. I ate and loved dandelion greens. He had never heard of eating that or fresh spinach.
It’s so interesting. I love recipes from all over too.
So what were some typical meals in your childhood?
