some food stuff
So i was talking to my dad a week or so ago. Telling him about all my food adventures and thanking him for the upright freezer. He said “food is not a hobby” in a way to suggest i am wasting my time making all my own food and could spend my time on other things. I absolutely love having food as a hobby.
mostly because I like to eat good food, but knowing what is in my food is even better. Almost everything we make is from scratch. I spend a good 12 hours a week cooking and love it. Yeah our meals are not the healthiest, but they are good and nutritious.
Anyways, I grew 4 cayenne pepper plants and got quite the haul. I had some I picked months ago lying around and decided to grind them up to make some cayenne powder. i was wondering if I should remove the seeds, but just threw them in the spice grinder and what came out was awesome. I am drying all those in the bowl there on some string and should have some kicking cayenne powder here soon.
I am going to start saving some bacon grease again. Not just normal bacon grease though, uber Scotts bacon grease. i figure I will add a bit to baked beans I plan on making on the smoker here soon.
After checking in on our corn rations we decided we needed to get more corn. We tried some green giant corn a week ago and it was horrific. We are now completely addicted to decent sweet corn. it is a lot of work, but so worth it. Got another 14 bags worth our of 4 dozen ears.
“Food is not a hobby”….whaaaa?????
I’m with you on this one brother. Can’t think of anything else today except diving into my lunch. Which I made yesterday, myself, with no additivesor mystery junk. Mmm, pork roast!

Hey Steve, Your fresh corn is always going to be the best but if you run out; or are feeling lazy, Schwans frozen corn kicks the crap out of anything you can get from the store.My daughter (who puts corn in everything) wont’t eat any other kind.(except fresh).

good plan sir.
I have a friend who does the schwans thang. I will see if he can hook me up to test.
I hate to doubt, but I bet nothing comes close to fresh zipped sweet corn.
Thanks for the comment and info yo
