This cold weather is perfect for a huge mess of pinto beans and sausage. Cornbread with same is a given, I mean, duh.
I'm sure we all have our own recipe for this simple dish, but you haven't try,
This one.
And for goodness sake, try and find a good sausage.
Enjoy.

The best sausage is definitely the key to success, but you rarely find that in national brands. I've found local, smoked sausages best and the best of those requires a one hour trip to a market in Iowa, Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteA one hour trip??? Ah, man, that sucks. Yes, the key is the sausage. I'm lucky we have a local supply of fine sausage here by the brand name of Nettles, and a few other lines of meat that are excellent in both flavor and texture. Thanks, my good friend.
DeleteThat looks good. Best sausage in these parts is locally produced, with a fair amount of reindeer blended with the other, more traditional ingredients.
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm sorry I haven't as yet emailed my home address....checking, ah, here it is. Reindeer, you don't say. Blended with....hey, tell 'ya what. Let's swap. Stupid snail mail.
DeleteThanks, Bubba. Oh, BTW, SW loved your sermon.
that's what I'm talking about
ReplyDeleteMoe, tomorrow evening....1800 sharp. Be there.
DeleteMy phone must be dead, I missed your invite for supper.
ReplyDeleteDitto.....
DeleteDitto x's 3
DeleteDuke, oh buddy of mine, you know where I live. You know when I shut down this shop. You're my bestest friend in the world, and you know you are always welcome at my dinner table, or work bench in the garage....
DeleteSenior, same goes for you. Bring the little ones.
Sandy, my dear lady....get on the road.
Sausage is king for any good meal. Here in MN you can find beef, pork, elk, buffalo, and other kids meat used in sausage. Enjoy feels like summer here today. 29 above.
ReplyDeleteRob, hasn't moved much over forty here today...lots of wind though.
DeleteThanks, my friend.
That wind today was the Dow falling 318 points...;)
DeleteNice way of putting it...I watched it drop. I have a Scottrade screen on my computer and it was interesting, the drop. I want it to drop further as we're (the wife and me) waiting to reinvest in a few dividend paying stocks. Thanks, Rob.
DeleteI made ham soup tonight, with potatoes and peas. It was pretty good and hit the spot for this freezing cold weather. 2 above at sunrise and never got near above freezing.
ReplyDeleteOuch. I do love me some ham soup. Throw another log on the fire. Thanks, my good friend.
DeleteMan that looks good! We got some real good sausage here, V&V. Perfect for this dish!
ReplyDeleteBubba, standing by here for shipment. Tell 'em to pack it tight. Thanks, my friend. Nice to here from you.
DeleteE-mail me your address and I'll send ya some!
DeleteMy good friend, I'd never put you to such a hassle. You've enough on your plate in this never ending mess of an economy. But thank you very much for your offer and kindness.
DeleteI have two ham hocks in the freezer. I will try Miss Kay's recipe. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Pretty Lady....stay warm.
DeleteOh lordy. Now you've gone and done it. I'm on a special diet . . and somehow . . someway . . I've GOT to get me some corn bread : )
ReplyDeleteGet the oven warm and whip out a batch...it's easy. Trust me, if I can make a pan of cornbread, it'd be cinch for you.
DeleteAnd by the way: That banner picture is HILARIOUS and PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy. Sometimes I hit one out of the park. But only, sometimes.
