What did everyone cook today?
-
First time in I am pretty sure about 44 years with no cooking Chili & Tamales or cornbread for New Years & something good with pork, greens, black eyed peas, etc. for new years day. Swamped with work all of the sudden the past few weeks & still way behind so at the desk, holed up, & writing reports. Here’s to a much better 2021! Happy New Years to all & to all a better new year in 2021.

Started my bean soup this morning. Rendering the ham bones and soaking the beans. Getting ready to pull the bones and chop the meat and bits, then add the beans and the rest of the ingredients to cook the rest of the day.
johnsbrewhouse The place must just smell heavenly. Ham bones and ham hocks always up your game in the bean soup world. Congrats to your family and friends.

zbigjeff It does smell really good, added some Kielbasa I had sitting in the fridge into the pot as well. Everybody into the pool. I torn between cornbread or biscuits to go with it.

Corn bread!!
TomKat1962 That’s what the choice was, it just about ready to come out of the oven.

Cornbread it ended up being. The finished product awaiting the tasting line. The wife will be happy with the cornbread choice too. -

You have got to do that cornbread in the cast iron though. I am just messing with you, it looks great & likely tastes even better.

calldoctoday My cast iron dutch oven is under my smoker right now. It catches the grease from the trap since the bucket developed a hole. The Pyrex was my mom’s and works great, just the right size for a single batch.

johnsbrewhouse I am just messing with you. It looks beautiful & what it tastes like is what matters. Cornbread was the perfect choice for today & would have recommended it, had you not already decided on it. My Mother used to make her cornbread in an electric fry pan, like a giant thick cornmeal pancake. Let me tell you, it was the best cornbread you could have ever tasted. It would out do anybody else’s cast iron. So there you go, there is nothing wrong what so ever with one of those glass pans. We use several of them.

Today I had a rib steak and a Long Island ice tea because it’s New Years until I decide it’s not.

calldoctoday No offense taken. I have several pieces of cast iron, but the glass always seems to be the first choice out of the cabinet. My mom had so much when we cleaned out the house after she passed in May we had to decide what to do with it all. I took the Corelle cookware that she had. That stuff has turned valuable. I know some of it is over 40 years old, she had it when I was a kid. I also found some old enameled cast iron pans and pots from the 50’s. I think they came from my grandmother, they were supermarket ware you got weekly or monthly.

Joe Hell that’s some expensive cast iron there.

johnsbrewhouse I am very sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. Yes, some of that old everyday stuff from the 50’s is great stuff. Much better than even some of the not necessarily high dollar, but enough dollar stuff from today. Especially if any of it is Belgium made.

calldoctoday Thank you for the condolences, she lived a long life to 90+ years. The enamel cast ware is Royal DRU iron from Holland, they weren’t cheap even in the late 50’s and early 60’s in today’s prices. It was surprising when I found ads for them when I was researching the history.

Tex_77 indeed…a splurge for sure. I bought the boss’ one for Christmas…they returned the favor! Overpriced perhaps but it performs like a dream. The cooking surface is machined smooth and is easily the most non-stick cast iron I’ve ever used. I’ll just keep adding to the collection one piece at a time

Seafood and football. My son and daughter in law thought a shrimp boil would be good idea before the game…
It was.
Shrimp, lobster, king crab, potatoes, andouille and claws.
Oh yeah, Packers vs Bear’s… Done deal.
Best part about this… Didn’t have to do a damn thing.
