Received a great package from our buddy Boilermaker yesterday, and let me tell you folks....that dude knows how to pack a box! He could have sent raw quail eggs in there and nothing would have been damagedWink Great packing job Andy.



The Sweet Water Pale Ale was delicious, and I have not as yet sampled the salsa...hopefully this afternoon before dinner I'll get a chance to try some of that. Looks like I will be having a childhood flashback as well, since I've got a nice bag of corn to make some mush withBig smile It's been more years than I want to acknowledge since I've had that LOL. I have also never had "Hoppin John" so I'm looking forward to that, and it wouldn't surprise me if that nice bottle of barbecue sauce got popped open over the weekend.




Thanks again Andy...I'm sure we'll enjoy it all
Go ahead...play with your food!

Very nice! That salsa sure looks pretty, too. Enjoy your hopin john, that's some good old timey stuff. You know I was thinkin' you might be able to use some of that cornmeal and make some hush puppies to go with that wonderful seafood you all get up there.

Very true John...up here "johnnycakes" are the traditional fare, but you really seldom see them any more...I'll have to try to find an original johnnycake recipe and get it posted in the New England forum.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Dave,

Glad it all arrived safely!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we are enjoying the wonderful delicacies you sent us!Big smile

Here is my recipe for mush, I made some last weekend and took pics but have been too busy to post them.  I usually make this in the crockpot because I'm lazy instead of cooking it on the stove but either way is fine.  The key is to mix the cornmeal with the cold water first before adding the hot water otherwise you will get lumps.  If using the crockpot I mix the cornmeal, cold water, and salt in the crockpot and then add the boiling water while stirring well to avoid any possibility of lumps.  I start it in high and then once it gets going good I turn it down and let it cook for 4 or 5 hours stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick on the bottom and then pour it into a greased loaf pan and put it in the fridge overnight to set up.  The stovetop method works just as well but I cook it longer than 10 minutes when doing it on the stove.

Great when fried in butter/oil or bacon fat and served with maple syrup.  Mrs. Andy and I have been eating this since we were little kids.

Ingredients
2 cups cornmeal
2 cups cold water
6 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons salt
Dusting flour
Oil for frying

Mix cornmeal and cold water; set aside. Bring 6 cups of water to boil, then add salt. Add the cornmeal mixture. Bring back to a boil, stirring constantly. Cover and cook slowly for 10 minutes. Pour into greased loaf pan and chill until set. Makes 1 loaf. Slice thin and dust with flour. Heat oil and fry the slices until crisp. Serve with syrup.

You're right, I've got to try honey, we always used syrup, but honey sounds great.  Tongue

I tried the salsa yesterday Andy and it was great! Just a nice little bite to it, but flavor and more flavor all the way through. I'd love to see you post your recipe for both the mild and hot salsas. Just had it with tortilla chips and one of those great pale ales, and wound up just not wanting it to end.

Competition is good! There is always room for more in the pantheon of good salsas Thumbs Up I'll be making some more salsa in a couple weeks as the last of the peppers ripen. Still deciding on whether to make more Satan's or try something new.

Thanks for the kind words, Dave.  I am glad you enjoyed it.  I will post up pics and the recipe when I make another batch, like John I am waiting for peppers to ripen.
