September Hits or Misses | Great Food Forum

Well, around here everything went into a spin because husband got heart tested. (Later found it’s not as bad as we thought.) But he is eating even more carefully. Thus, BEANS without bacon or pork–or their fat.

Did I previously mention this? I might have. But the discovery has rather blown us both away. His beans now are just as awesome as always…which is shocking to us…but made with only some olive oil, garlic, onions, perhaps a small pinch of Mexican oregano. We are DELIGHTED. We adore pinto beans!!! We can’t even tell their is no bacon in our beans. SHOCKARUNY!! I always thought pinto beans would be nothing without bacon or bacon grease.

So, there’s that. My contribution for September (better hope i don’t mention it again for October). LOL

Since our mainstay CHEFS seem to be on vacation lately, guess I’ll have to get in the kitchen with some mags or books and make something new to me! Me cook? I must love you all a lot!

PS: edited to add – forgot to mention that he sautes those additions IN the olive oil first, then adds them to the beans. We like lots of water, too. (I love the broth.)

I usually post something I have made that was great…I need to start writing stuff down. OY.

I made a ham/cheese socca “pizza” the other night and used mayo as the “sauce”…heaven.

Oh, my winner was pork Filipino adobo. I even ordered the cane vinegar. TO DIE.
