this is exactly where we live. 15 miles to the nearest restaurant, and in winter, that's not too attractive. But we do love to cook, and make sure we do can easy meals like stew, chili and tomato sauce

we like cooking it the oven on a cookie sheet with sides, laying the bacon on a cooling screen so we can collect the grease later

Impeachment proceedings against the Noem,entire DOJ top personnel and asxwell as Vance and trump. I do not give a fuck about if they can win. I don't want to hear any bullshit excuses by legacy media as to no comment from trump administration and keep asking him about murders he authorized.

we are serving it with baked mashed potatoes and Boston Baked beans.

The Senate is supposed to vote on DHS funding next week. There shouldn’t be a single Democratic vote for it.

Defund the whole thing.

Our first attempt at cooking a whole duck

we decided to do this about 11 years ago - Jeep long paid off, still in great condition.

well, just a bit south in Wisconsin, we are getting 4 days with below zeroF temps - and wind chills of minus 50 predicted.

Our supper tonight, homemade chicken pot pies

my wife made some home made oyster mushroom (that we picked last summer) soup today with wild rice...so tasty!

mine does that sometimes - I kinda like it.

we had one that kept trying to "herd" it

I have a chihuahua and he frequently figures in my nightmares!

Maybe they're old like me and just don't drive much. My mustang is sooo shiny (of course, I can't drive it in snow!) The jeep, not so much.

DHS and MAGA are spreading propaganda claiming the Minneapolis driver tried to run over ICE. That claim is completely false. Multiple videos from different angles (recorded by people on the scene) clearly show that this did not happen. ICE killed a US citizen. Justice is required for this killing.

I just used a package of ham in my pinto beans I canned - got 11 quarts this time!

mine is snuggling up against me snoring at the moment.

lol

ouch, I did that last week and am still sore

I'm bad about grabbing hot cast iron too, so I bought a silicon
handle that fits over the handle

very close to our dinner - we have shrimp alfredo cooked from scratch

it makes a really nice marinade for beef or pork

we use it in almost all our food - we grow our own, so we have plenty!

looks good!

just curious, how did the black-eye peas turn out?

I think that should work, just be sure to have plenty of liquid in the cooker.

great idea - it will work just as well as it did for Covid!
