Chilly as in downright cold. What's a good noon meal? Chicken dumplins' , or chili? We got the makin's for either thawed out.

Chili.

Can't stand dumplins.

Oh heck, there's a plethora of good chilly weather "bowl" foods.

Chicken and noodles
Chicken and dumplings
Shepherd's Pie
Cottage Pie
Ham and Beans
Beef stew
Chowder
Gumbo
and of course, the eponymous CHILI


(with or without beans!)

Been meaning to fix Richard boy up with some beef barley soup.

He loves it.

Beef and barley, yum.

We love variations of hamdeerburger soup, for the winter.

Some times throw in pearl barley, sometime "soup mix" grains/beans.

Alway use rotel chili tomatoes !

I buy pearl barley at the Bulk Zone.

Oh yes its time. 45degrees this morning down here in the Valley.

Turkey carcass barley soup from last year.

Ya Fatz !!

Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday night (Monday really, but we're doing Sunday), turkey carcass will be "leveraged" !

What is the price of a turkey Paul?

Sorry Richard, no idea !

I'll ask Deb, if she stops in.

Maybe $2.99/lb for frozen mid sized butterball ?

Walmart;





Safeway;

Not bad at all Paul. In Storm Lake they will run about a dollar, or a bit less just before our Thanksgiving.

Some years they run a free bird with enough other purchase.

There are a lot of large, I mean big, turkey growing barns near here.. The operators have to kill a random bird for tests.

Those folks don't eat near as much turkey as you might think.

I started a Jäger Eintopf about 1/2 hour ago. Have a little over a pound of deer cutlets (diced) and leeks simmering in a bit of red wine, or live oil, with a dash of red wine vinegar. Some thyme, minced garlic, blk pepper and a good dousing of paprika. Edit! Forgot to mention the mushrooms!!!

Let it cook down. Then I’ll spread on the mashed potatoes and pour on the grated cheese. Into the oven til done.

Yeah, kinda the German version of shepherds pie. W/O the shepherd.

Been waiting all summer to make this again.

Got a good simmer going on!!!

Mmmmmm!

For someone who dont like to cook........you sure do a bang up job!

Woody, you are a magician !!!

I really don’t, Jim.

And thanks Paul. Its pretty simple.

Basically I do it because I got to.

That looks great. I think the.germans got it right
An honest Texan wouldn't eat no sheep!😁

KW that is fine dinning .looks and sounds great

My wife decided this AM that we were going to toss no carbs for a day so tomorrow it will "ham" and bean soup.
