Hey Grandpa, What's For Supper?

[Yogiman]

Hey, I appreciate the offer. Gimme a rain check. I had to leave the computer for a few minutes. I heard that yeller lab raising cane out back and went to see what was disturbing him. Well, I got Sunday dinner. Baked possum and sweet taters with some rutabeggars. Might even pick a mess of collard greens too Got plenty of them. Big old possum was sneaking around my chicken house. He won't sneak no more.

Fry me up one of those burgers Yogiman...mmm mmm

I made home made refried beans with grated cheese, sour cream, chopped green onion and home made salsa over chips. I started soaking the beans last night and they were just right after cooking most of the day with onion, garlic and a jalapeno pepper. We had cherry pie for dessert. Good stuff.

DH, you can have all the possum you want for Sunday dinner. I'll pick up some Popeyes fried chicken to go with the sweet taters and collard greens.

Yogiman, do you make jelly out of the purple pea hulls?

Tonight we are having venison meatballs with sour cream gravy over egg noodles, greens-n-rice and winter slaw (celery root, apple, grated and mixed with apple vinaigrette dressing & greens). There's bugger-all growing up here, except for houseplants. On the plus side, it's maple syrup season, and I'm gonna go tap my trees!

We had left over chili the other night. I spooned it over tortilla chips and covered it in finely shredded lettuce, grated cheese, sour cream, some ppl added chives, some had jalepenos, some had mango salsa. Man, that was good leftovers.

I love the refried beans and chips for supper.

Do you add the cheese to your beans when you mash them?

I had an old mexican lady show me how to make refried beans. When she mashed the beans and just before serving stirred in a big handful of grated cheese - holy moly, her beans are the best. I hope mine taste as good. Never any left when I fix them.

OK, I'll give. lol

I soak two bags of pinto beans in water over night. The next morning I drain that water and add fresh water, I place a whole peeled onion in the pot, a jalapeno pepper with the stem removed (whole), A whole head of peeled garlic, and a package of pork neck bones. Make sure all the ingredients are covered with enough water because it cooks down. Bring it all to a full boil and then reduce heat to a simmer and just let it cook all day until the beans are soft.
After the beans are cooked, remove the onion, jalapeno, and neck bones, leave the garlic in.
Heat up a cast iron skillet with a dollop of lard...yep..lard. lol Add three or four ladles full of beans and some of the water they cooked in. Mash with a potato masher as you cook them on a med/high heat, I always add some of the garlic cloves from the pot, some garlic powder and salt. After they are smashed up, add grated cheese, about two cups. Pour this into a bowl and then start over. You don't want to fry too many at a time, so you will have to do the mashing part three times at least unless you do less beans.
These are the best re fried beans. Once they are done, we top them off with more grated cheese and all the other goodies, like green onions, sour cream, salsa...ect.

They are very easy and so much better then the canned kind.

Pinto beans can be bought in bulk and cost next to nothing. Pork Neck bones are very inexpensive. I think the whole huge pot of beans cost me around $5.00 to make and we have enough left overs for another dinner this week.

Ok its not dinner but my DH just surprised me with the best breakfast ever. So I had to sperad the word. He made an omlette with the leftover crawfish. Loads of crawfish, onion, jalepenos, 3 kinds of cheese and what looked like a dozen eggs. It is only 10 a.m. and I need a nap after all that.

Edited to add:
Thanks Redfeathers - I just printed that out. Sounds great
