At the moment, Im cooking Chicken breasts with bacon and butter beans in a chicken gravy with a good splash of white wine. I've also got boiled new potatoes on the go with Mangetout, sugarsnap peas and Kenyan runner beans. Should be ready in about half an hour. :yh_drool

I'll have to try that sometime! Thanks! I marinated the chops in a local dressing called Gazebo Room Greek Salad Dressing. It's FABULOUS!! Then, I just add other spices such as kosher salt, pepper, Old Bay seasoning, celery salt, garlic powder, & basil leaves. They were delicious!
I have given up trying to eat like a Red Neck. I did dinner at a friends Camper Van and prepared broiled halibut with white rice, multicolored capsicum, summer salad and washed down with sauvignon blanc.
We did BBQ tonight and some friends were driving by and yelled..HI..we invited them over and had a great time. Spur of the moment good time. We had Tri tip, corn on the cob, spinach salad, potatos, and grilled mushrooms.

This isn't a bad thread, cause ya know how sometimes you just don't know what to make and you want something new but you dont know what because if you knew you'd have made it before? I think I may use this for ideas.

Frijoles Charros
1 pound dried pinto beans
2 large onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup chopped, thinly sliced ham
4 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaves chopped

Sort beans to remove rocks and foreign matter. Place beans in colander and rinse under hot water about 2 or 3 minutes. Place beans in large sauce pan and add water. Add bacon, chopped onion, jalapenos, tomatoes, ham and garlic. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer on low heat until beans are almost done (about 1 1/2 hours) Add green onions and chopped cilantro. Add boullion cube and salt to taste. Simmer for another 30 minutes.
