It's getting chilly today so I've made a batch of chili for lunch. Started with ground turkey, put in some onion and garlic and a habanero and a red cayenne and a green cayenne and some mild chipotle with adoboe used some Chili Magic (yeah it's cheating, so sue me  ), which isn't really magic anymore since there only seems to be one mild variety available but it gets in some tasty beans. Wife's going to do us a split pea soup either late today or for tomorrow. Nothing like good soupy stuff when the weather is cold and crappy.

Made some great mushroom soup this week, finished with the last of the stuffing I had frozen from Thanksgiving and just thawed. I swear it tasted better now than it did then. Freezing didn't seem to bother the quality at all. Yum!

Too late for a pic, but I made some shrimp in fiery garlic butter. The recipe calls for ground dried Chile de árbol. I kicked in one of our homegrown orange habaneros. My lips are still burning but it's a good pain. 
My wife made us a soup with black eyed peas and collards for new years. She made collards when we were dating early on. It was the first time I had them and I didn't care for them. In the soup they were superb. Would have been kale if that were available. Needless to say I no longer don't like collard greens.

The Beef Stroganoff I made this weekend was unbelievably fantastic, the sauce was rich but zesty, the beef very tender.
I'm getting to be pretty good at the art of "retro-eating." Oh numm....can't wait to finish it tomorrow!

I threw in a splash of vodka and worcester sauce for zing. I also added some of those little martini onions to the regular onions, everyone liked that.
Otherwise just sirloin, onions, mushrooms, sour cream (lots), beef consumme, tomato paste, and plenty of fresh garlic.

love Stroganoff, been making it for years-- I don't add tomato, Worcestershire, or garlic (though the vodka sounds good); just good steak, white onions, brown or white button mushrooms, fresh parsley and plenty of black pepper. I cook it low and slow so the sourcream won't curdle .. apparently the traditional Russian way is to keep the ingredients separate - the steak, mushroom/onion mixture, and sourcream sauce - and mix on the plate

God you're making me so hungry, right before bed  No tomato paste eh? So that must be a white sauce then? Interesting, never tried that. Ours is a light orange color, I assumed it always was..... (mouth watering)

I cooked chicken strips and onion rings tonight in two different batters and my wife loved both.  Normally she is chained to an opinion.
I also made my own butter-hot sauce dip that was good with it.
Also,  Jim for making me want beef stroganoff!

I am not making this up. When I was in university my buddyy's friend came and made some hash muffins. But he didn't tell us that each muffin was supposed to be shared by at least 5 people. We ate two each. Bland? But it took a while for the effect to sink in. If you have ever seen the Jupter sequence on 2001: A Space Odyssey well that's pretty much what it was like. Do not try this. I spent 3 days in the hospital. The doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. My buddy wrapped his car around a tree. Fortrunately he came out of it without a scratch but the car was totalled. I was scraped off the ground somewhere by an ambulance. The doctor said I was lucky to be alive.
Do not mix hashish with cake unless your names are Cheech & Chong.

Yes, whatever you do, don't put hash in muffins and be sure to share.
