Canned Chili

i did 10 days without power or well water after IKE

the first couple days was kinda like a party... then the descent into savagery began.

the woman and child left...

i wore swim trunks 24/7... drank beer all day. jumped in the pool in the evening to clean off. BBQ'd by night.

i eventually scored a generator and a window unit.
 
"Is that just south of Glen Burnie on Ritchie Highway?"

Yes, just north of Rt.100 in front of Marley Station Mall.

When they built the mall, they tried to buy them out and get them to move into the food court. They told mall where they could go and now the mall is just barely hanging on and Ann's is stronger than ever.

I thought so. I've had ice cream from there a time or two, back when I lived in Severn.
 
When Ike got done, our and several other communities were without power for 7 days. When power was restored about the only thing left in the pantry was hominy (I'm still trying to figure out how it got in there).

As others have said, when you get really hungry your taste buds will sign a waiver.

PS: warm beer is still beer.

The only way I can do hominy is with maple syrup and black pepper. Ditto on the beer, though.
 
I made up a 16 qt. pot of my homemade chili. I used a cheaper cut of steak with fat cut off & cut into cubes. Also used my canned, garden raised heirloom tomatoes & red kidney beans, onions, spices. I then canned it making 15 qts. Mine makes the canned stuff taste like dog food. It was so good I made 2 more batches. Have 45 qts. for this winter!
 
Hominy is very good in a Tex Mex pork stew and many similar spicy dishes. I think it's good with nothing more than black pepper and red pepper sauce. However, I realize many people don't like hominy. Alone, as just hominy, I might agree.

Sort of like grits. Without proper seasonings like sliced jalapeno, a spicy cheese, coarse ground black pepper, a green or red hot sauce, and butter, grits is just grits.

Neither grits nor hominy is on my list of alleged food products that should never foul a decent kitchen. This includes canned chili, ranch dressing, Velveeta (some call this cheese), and Miracle Whip for openers.
 
When in Vietnam 1968-69 I'd buy a few cans of chili, buy a can of sterno for heating chili. Rather than pay the price of more sterno you can saturate the material in the sterno with alcohol (much cheaper) and reuse it.
 
When I was a kid I worked as stock boy in a IGA store. The
thing I remember about canned Chili was that the shelves were
checked daily for swelled cans. This store had good turn over
of stock but Chili was #1 item that spoiled in the can. I won't
eat any of it.
 
Been following this conversation from the start and there must be something I do wrong.I eat almost anything that is on the list of things that most of you think isn’t edible. I come from a large family and you ate what was on the table or you didn’t eat. Of course we said grace first so everyone got a fair start on filling their plate. If you left anything on your plate you got a stern lecture on people starving in some part of the world.
 
I bet if someone dropped something, someone else had it before it hit the floor. [emoji1]
