Well this tasted good, although it was a bit labor intensive.

I think I mentioned a while back that I made some Soup Stock.

That was easy enough to do although it did take a while.

(Drop into a rather large pot a large Ham Bone with the shreds still attached. Add water, the remains of two Cornish Game hens when you're done eating them, a chopped onion, two shredded Ancho Chilis and several minced Sections of Garlic. Boil for a while, until the meat has fallen off the bones. Pull the Ham Bone out and crack it in half exosing the Marrow, return to the pot and boil some more. (Adding water as needed.) When it is done you pour the broth through a filter into several containers and set them in the fridge overnight. The next day use a knife and cut the fat away from the container and remove it. What is left you freeze.)

Today I took two of the conatiners of Stock out and dropped them into a pot with a couple of cups of water. As the stock was melting I pan fried in Garlic a pound of chunked beef. I added the beef to the stock, along with Carrots, Corn, Pearl Onions and of course Noodles. I tossed in some additional Garlic Powder, a pinch of Oregano and a couple of Bay Leaves. I let this simmer on the stove, adding water as needed for a couple of hours.

Serve with Garlic Bread.

Oh man was this good.

LOLOL

Love I'm sorry if I'm torturing you. (Not really. :cool: )

However if you ate some of the things I have eaten you would definately lose weight.

Growing up for the most part we ate what we either grew of hunted and trapped. This might be why I'm not a picky eater. (To me soul food is not a regional thing, it is what keeps body and soul together.) Things got better but I never forgot.

When I moved to Florida I was living in a tent for a coupe of months with my wife and a cat. (Crackhead, A.K.A. Smokey) Things got more than tight. We were broke. I kept us fed with a Mulligan Stew. Even my wife who isn't squeemish about things like this didn't ask what was in it. (I could tell you but I don't think you would look good in Green.)

On this board there are a couple of people who understand that. Cloudy and TxRad are two.

If I'm hungry and/or am trying to keep others fed, well if it moves it's chow time.

My Uncle came to visit last year. Now this is a guy who has more money than the G.N.P. of most small countries. I made dinner for him when he visited. I splurged, I actually spent more than $25.00 for the ingredients. (Hey it was him, my parents, my wife and myself.) I made Short Ribs, Bisquits, Fried Okra and Corn on the Cob. He told me after that he would have paid well over one weeks salary for me to get the same meal in a restaraunt(sp).

Eating well is not about the money, it's about using what you have.

I find that adding a bit of powdered Garlic and just a touch of Ground pepper to the Corn Meal does wonders for Okra.

Cooking is actually easy once you get used to it. The trick is to learn what flavors are added by what.

As a quick and easy lesson take some ground beef, seperate it into four equal portions. Fry the first in nothing, the second with just some minced Garlic, the third with some minced Onion, and the fourth with a Table Spoon of your favorite BBQ Sauce. Taste the results. Now you can start mixing and matching to find what you like.
