Maybe one of you homies can help me find a recipe that my dad used to make when I was a kid:

It was porkchops buried in rice inside a big crock pot with a lot of like canned/stewed tomatoes. It wasn't a soup or stew, it was relatively dry.I can't really remember more than that, and specifically what seasoning was used, but I wanna make it again and the hellscape that is searching for recipes on google is giving me brain damage.

NO KAREN I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE RUSTIC COTTAGE YOU LEARNED TO COOK THESE BEANS IN JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING MEASUREMENTS REEEEEE

Is the rice dry when you put it in?

Because if so that's kinda like arroz con pollo just with pork.

Cooked the last bit of the sale snow crab last night. Turned out even better this time, managed to get a lot of smoke on everything, and even smoked the garlic butter. Going to pick and clean the leftovers and make a hot crab dip. We typically make a batch during the holidays for an appetizer and share with the neighbors.

That reminds me.

I've never had hot crab dip.

I've also never had a lobster roll.

I've also never tried crawdads.

Dunno if I'm missing out or not.

TJT Recipe for 20 spicy beef and bean freezer burritos.

Much like the ones you buy from the store you can bake these back to temp at 375-400 for 20 minutes or so from frozen. 10-12 minutes then turn them over. For the beef I've tried using taco seasoning mix on it but it really doesn't provide too much overall and can be skipped.

Ingredients:

• Dry Black Beans
• 1 lb ground beef.
• Shredded Cheese.
• Cumin
• Salt
• Cilantro
• Lemon Juice
• Habanero Peppers
• Chili Powder
• Cooking Oil (we usually have sunflower for some reason).
• Burrito Tortillas (get like the regular size of them not the gigantic mission size)

Refried Beans:

1. 2 cups dry black beans (soak overnight, boil until tender).
   1. Then drain them.
2. Mince Garlic (I use garlic press) and cilantro as much as possible.
3. Mince 4 to 6 habaneros.
4. Dice and sautee one medium white onion until translucent but not brown along with the garlic in the oil.
5. Throw in the beans and wait until it boils a bit. May need to add more water.
6. Add in Cumin, Salt, MSG (really improves it here), and a little chili powder along with lemon juice and habaneros.
7. Mash it with a potato masher.
8. Let some water evaporate or add a little more until you have the desired consistency. Should be like typical refried beans.

Beef:

1. Brown 1lb of ground beef and drain.
2. Use Taco mix if you want but just using a little salt is fine.

Burrito Mix:

1. Use a bowl and put in all the beef and beans and mix well.
2. Add in a large handful of shredded cheese and keep mixing.

Use all the mix on 20 medium size burrito tortillas and wrap them tightly. The beans glue them together really well. Put them in some container or ziploc bag. Freeze.

The result here is about 3x spicier than any store bought one you may find and they last a long long time.

For the first time in years I am not hosting so no cooking for me. Part of me is sad as I love doing Thanksgiving, part of me is like "i can chill all morning and then just show up and eat?"

I am conflicted.
