That sounds really good.  I'm gonna steal it.

Go right ahead.  Let me know if you like it!

Hominy triggers my gag reflex. No idea why.

I think a lot of people feel this way.  Or else the squeekiness when you chew it works a nerve, either way, I know most people do not like hominy.

Texture, I think. Love grits though.

That sounds fantastic, Niamh! Also adaptable for use with other meats.

I've made a hominy casserole before sans chicken, but with a layer or two of soft corn tortillas.  This one sounds way better.

Tonight I'll be having the pasta dish I made a few days ago.  Simple.  I don't know what it's called when you slice onions thin and leave them covered in a skillet for like an hour, but it's that, with chopped spinach, black pepper, sage, parmesan, and almost a stick of melted butter tossed with linguine.

Very true, I have done with pork and various sausage types.  Chorizo is my personal favorite.  

I once had a recipe similar to mine that used pork and instead of tomatos they used a grapefruit and orange combination.  It was spectacular.  I have never been able to recreate that recipe.

I don't know who it was that decided, hey, lets soak corn in lye and eat it!

I am yet to eat a hominy dish that was amazing. Not saying it's bad, just that I haven't understood the appeal yet.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I love hominy! Have you ever had posole?

[Juana]

Probably some fancy cheese my mom bought yesterday and french bread.

[Eater of Clowns]

Split pea soup cooked with chicken carcass, a slice of giant potato pancake, and a slice of onion pan bread.

[Jenne]

I have no idea...maybe stirfry...we have some tofu and leftover chicken that need to be dealt with.

Orphan children.

And the ashes of my youthful idealism.

Damn.

I have some roast in the freezer. After trying to cook a portion last night I am considering making tires out of the rest of it.

[Suu]

Leftover chili.

If I'm lucky, GS will come over and bring something else. Not that the chili wasn't amazing, though.

[Adios]

Peanut butter, bread and butter pickles, bacon, honey and banana sandwiches.

Peanut butter, bread and butter pickles, bacon, honey and banana sandwiches.

I gotta try this.  I put some homemade (not mine) zucchini and sweet pickle relish on a peanut butter sandwhich and was totally underwhelmed.  NOT enough FLAVOR.  So now I need a Mach II attempt.  Bacon and honey might just do it.  Banana must be to mellow it out or something.

TODAY I crockpotted (ha! is that a VERB??) some chicken and put green pepper and onion slices on top, added half a can of shitty beer (waste not, want not, yo), then poured some thai bbq sauce over that.  We'll see what happens.
