Don had snagged a large 10lb pork shoulder, prefrozen and put it in the
freezer as it was. We defrosted it in the fridge for a few days and
cut it down to more useful portions for us yesterday. The bones with a
good amount of meat went in the crockpot.

16oz dried black eye peas
4oz dried large lima (butterbeans)
all bone and a good amount of meat from 10lb pork shoulder
2.5 TB dried minced garlic
3 TB dried minced onion
2 TB knorrs chicken bullion powder
Water to cover plus 1 inch

I started it about 20 hours ago on low. It's been on 'warm' for a few
hours now (same temp now as the older ones had for 'low' and holds a
bare simmer).

Makes probably 20 1/2 cup servings so 10-12 with how we eat it, broth
and all.

That's pretty much how I've been making beans for years except I use
diced fresh diced onions instead of dried and leave out the meat. I used
to add meas of various kinds but after leaving out the meat, usually ham
hocks, a few times I decided it didn't make that much difference.

I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook.

I'm hoping there'll be cornbread on the table, too! Plus a bowl of
chopped onions as well.

Works! Normally we use fresh onions but I have few left and a fair
stock of dried. I am saving the fresh for other dishes where it
matters.

That's a most impressive amount of pork. I'll have to cook up some beans but I like to use sad, tiny, amounts of pork.

Yesterday I made some fried rice with Mexican chorizo and kim chee. Boy that was tasty. I used Noh Kim Chee powder to season it. There's a lot of possibilities with that stuff.

I think it was the Koreans that taught the Hawaiians how to appreciate spicy foods. Of course, so did the Vietnamese, Thais, and Indians in later years.

For my wife's dinner tonight at work, I made loco moco. It's a bed rice with a hamburger patty. Gravy is poured over the rice and an egg is laid on top. I put some Hawaiian style kim chee on the side. Ya gotta have your veggies...

One day, everybody will be eating like this.

I never ate spicy foods while growing up either. These days, I like food that has a little kick. Beats me why that is. Here's the real picture of a loco moco.

When I was growing up, I never had spicy food.
Dad didn't like it and Mom cooked for Dad.
Us kids got to eat whatever Dad liked.
He was our God back then. His rules only.

He also insisted on all meat cooked very well done.
Steak back then was thin and tough like shoe-leather.
That's when I fell in love with A-1 steak sauce.
Every bite of steak was smothered in the sauce.

And even though we lived by fresh seafood most times,
the only seafood ever served was frozen and breaded
fish sticks from the grocery store. Usually drowned
in ketchup.

Once I finally left home (right before age 20) did
I discover the real world of good food.

Ah but there are many ways to make them! This one is the meaty type.
I'm guessing it was 2lbs of meat and 1.5 of bone? The rest of the meat
is tucked way with 1lb or so of it reserved for the smoker.

I'm going to look for the Noh Kimchee powder. I'd like to try it out.
It's apt to be at Asain American Grocery (same one you hear me mention
a lot). It's about mid-way between me and Gary, I think. A bit far
for his usual shopping habits from what he's said but only about 10
minutes for it seems both of us.

I suspect portuguese sausage would be better there than Mexican Chiorzo
but it looked good!

It's ok Ophelia,

I use lots of savory spicing, but when it comes to 'heat' I'm generally
medium to mild.

It did not figure much in my diet growing up. The exception was those
little bags of pork rinds with the packet of Tabasco sauce in them.
And cocktail sauce, which I made with a ton of horseradish.

Once I got out on my own, I started seeking out stuff I'd never eaten
before. It wasn't long before I embraced Mexican, Indian, and Thai
food. For a while, I was one of those "No food is too hot for me"
people. Now my digestive tract has other ideas, but I still like
an occasional fiery meal. For lunch, so the GERD is manageable.

Chorizo is not eaten much here but I think that it might be popular in the future - all we need is more Mexicans coming here to live. The one I got was pretty good although I suspect it was made with cow cheeks. There were a few funky white parts in it which could be salivary glands or lymph node. It was tasty enough though. My understanding is the cow cheeks are very good when cooked properly. Maybe it'll be the next trendy piece of the cow.

It's a dish that you can easily make. Set some steaming hot rice on a plate, top with a fried hamburger patty, pour some brown gravy on top and finish with a crown of fried egg - preferably over easy. That's it, you have a loco moco. How can such a simple thing be so sublime? It's a mystery.

Mexican chorizo is not for sissies - better stick with Wonder Bread and apple sauce.
