Funnin you Geo. Looks yummy.



Dinner became Mommacita�s problem the next night. She makes a soup/stew she calls pasoli, but, it bears little resemblance to the Mexican version by the same name, I suppose because she isn�t Mexican, but, Colombian.The broth is tomatillo based, and she will use either pork or chicken, and a bit of either stock to take the tang down. Beans, hominy,and some other stuff go in, and we serve it with a baguette, and garnish of cilantro and sliced radishes.
Simple fare, perfect for a rainy evening.

That looks delicious Ted

Cottontail in wine sauce with mushrooms wild rice and garden asparagus. Might be good. Might not.

George, at hunt camp, hardtack and boiled shoe tongue would be good after hunting all day. But lowcountry boil is mighty good. Which reminds me of a joke another old friend told me close to 50 years ago: A group of men had been hunting in the north woods for decades and tradition was that camp chores were decided by drawing straws. Jeff was anointed camp chef, a grinding chore which was his until someone complained about the food. The complainer became the chef. He was sick of the chore and baked a pie consisting of a moose turd he found near the camp. Rick was chowing down on a slice and his face had a look of disgust. Finally he recognized it for what it was : "Moose turd pie?? But good!"

I guess next you'll be wanting to see a picture of the turd to anal'ize that Mr. Sniffle'beAn...

Ted,
We started eating Pasole when in Santa fe.
It's a favorite here.
I noticed no chili's in your recipe.
We use 1 small can green chili's per pot.
Onion
1 can yellow hominy
1 can white hominy (whatever is on hand)
Pork shoulder, cubed,
Mexican oregano,
Chicken or vegetable stock

Dang that sound delish!!!!!! I love hominy.....the missus can't stand it!

No chili�s because they aren�t in my Wife�s culture. When I was last in Bogota, you had to ask for the salt shaker in a restaurant, and I had to buy a pepper shaker because the restaurants didn�t have pepper. That said, I could feed 4 or 5 people lunch, the big meal of the day, for well under $10. Very fresh, heavy on rice, beans, plaintain, other veggies, but, a bit bland.
Colombia is a big country, and that was the Andies-head to the coast, and you wouldn�t recognize the food, or, the people.

Another example. Carnitas, Colombian version, as opposed to Mexican:




The pork cooks, in her spices, in the crockpot most of the day. Some cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, sometimes a grated cheese, sour cream, perhaps a side of retried beans, but, not this day. I eat flour tortillas, she likes corn. Alexandra�s homemade guacamole, always. A couple domestic beers, and it is just like heaven.

Tough to screw up a bunny. Best meal I had in Lyon, France, was hare.

The Colombian food all looks great Ted, except the cilantro. Cilantro tastes like soap to me.....yuk. Can�t decide what brand of soap, but soap. And how do I know what soap tastes like, during my formative years my Mom treated me to a bar in my mouth on several occasions.....blah, barf.
