Some homemade Mac and cheese to go along with the remains of the pork butt.

Pot roast. Just added the potatoes and carrots. While waiting, I’m enjoying whiskey soup with ice croutons and a cigar.
Shudder….i just felt some cornbread coming on. My mother had the best recipe for cornbread. I have several good recipes for cornbread but haven’t found one better than Mother’s . I know this recipe by heart.
SOUR CREAM CORNBREAD
1 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup oil
1 cup sour cream
1 8oz can creamed corn
3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
Preheat a 9” cast iron skillet with a little oil in it in a 450f oven. Mix everything together and put in heated skillet. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Note, if you have self rising cornmeal, eliminate the salt and baking powder.

Chopped fresh jalapeños added to that mix will spice up your meal.

If I was going to do that, I would also add some cheese for Mexican cornbread. That happens on enchilada nights.
Getting to be soup season, so made some creamy chicken potato soup. Will be supper for the next few nights.
Looks absolutely delicious!

Shakshuka. It’s eggs that are poached in a tomato and paprika sauce. My wife made some baguette. Both look good. Shakshuka is actually a traditional Tunisian breakfast dish but we like for dinner. We also add more spice than them. Ours are very spicy.
That prompts me to get going with some salami. Gotta start soon or won't have anything fresh for Christmas. Also just remembered I've got to get some Italian sausage made.
It ain't broke! You're reading 40* Celsius which is 104* F. Feel better now?
It's got a pretty good bite to it but dissipates quickly!! It's good
I made some Shashuka with all my homegrown tomatoes this past summer. It was excellent and will do it again
We love it. A very underrated dish.
OK, Barry Ole boy, Boudin is a Cajun word. It's correct spelling is BOUDIN, pronounced BOO DAN, the "N" being silent, not boudian, which I've discovered is a Texan word, coming out of Beaumont, by Zummo's Boudain. Walmart sells it and that's much closer than my hometown in Louisiana. It does make my mouth water. I don't remember ever seeing it smoked, but we moved out of Cajun Country in '61, so don't remember. ........... Nubs

Made some ciabatta twisted bread sticks to have with leftover soup for supper tonight. Only about 2 hours from mixing to pulling them out of the oven, so a quick way to make some yeast bread when you are short on time.
Yesterday I celebrated my 80th birthday by making myself a German Chocolate cake. Somewhere along the line, the Coconut Pecan frosting I make from scratch didn't come out like it has in the past. I cook and stir until I get to the soft ball stage, and then add the C&P's. When I added it to the cake, it was not as thick as it has been for the 40-50 cakes I've made in the last 30 years. Still as tasty as all of them, though.
That countertop it's sitting on was made back in 84, I think. Hard maple, with Red Oak bread board edging. Not one single split in the maple, but the Oak ends do the seasonal thing some times.
