What did everyone cook today?

JoeB Passed it on to 3 Polak buds and it got them talking about stuff they ate while growing up and bingo. You hit a hot spot on their radar. Two are making it this weekend. Nostalgia hits a home run. They attacked me nicely saying: Where does a Slovenian find out about our heritage recipes? I just told them that I know some Polaks on the Walton site. We all thought it was great. We shall see what the outcome is shortly.
zbigjeff happy it brings back memories. My Great Aunt was very protective of her recipes. I’ve made this many, many times over the years. Variation is to smoke and add fresh onions garlic & celery for crunch. Cheers

JoeB So we don’t mess it up. On your variation, do you smoke it at 225 (instead of oven)? And when do you add in the fresh onions, garlic and celery?

zbigjeff yes, and stir once. I sometimes grill it w/ indirect heat. Hood closed. You really have to go out of your way to screw it up. Use disposable pan. Cheers

JoeB OK! So when do you add in the fresh onions, garlic and celery? I would imagine after it’s done cooking.

zbigjeff They won’t cook soft just mix them in, chopped or diced of course. Don’t make a simple recipe complicated… LAZY is the operative here

I had some family visiting this weekend from the great state of Tennessee. My wife has been wanting to eat a little better and we have been, but this weekend was time for some good comfort food. I got up early to prepare a decent down home breakfast for 8 of us. I was too busy to snap pics while cooking, but managed to take one of my plate at the end. The sausage was my first batch of Walton’s Holly. The entire fare was Country ham, bacon, scrambled eggs, and biscuits with gravy from the Holly sausage. I also put out homemade grape jelly I canned from last year.

cdavis @NDMike I think they approved by the way it disappeared. It was a pig trifecta. The family visiting was two cousins and their spouses. I reminisced with them about the first time I saw a hog slaughtered and hanging in a smoke house. It was my Uncle, their dad, who introduced me to how the food we all love so much, was produced. The first Country ham I tasted was one he raised, slaughtered, cured and smoked. I’ve been hooked ever since.

GWG8541 great memories to share! Family Traditions are so important. I love introducing my kids to things that have been passed down!
