Do you know anything about the ones in the coin envelopes?

The Alabama Red from 07 has 6 plants out of 12 seeds planted so far. Half of those came up today.

Great news do you think you will get anything from the plants?

I don't know if okra will produce in the fall, but it would be nice. I am happy to see them sprout out of the ground so quickly. I tried this with some squash too. It is the Dixie Hybrid from 07... I think 07? The seed packs are in the dragon's lair, and I don't dare wake her up.

I got up yesterday morning before the sun came up.
I had no idea it was a holiday.
At around five PM I laid down and finished a book.
Got up ate and then stayed up until after midnight.
This morning I slept in until after ten AM.
I haven't checked the mail in two weeks I keep telling myself I will do it tomorrow.
Today I checked the mail, nothing important.
Go to the store to get molasses.
While there I get a hankering for chips and salsa.
Get ticked off at the expensive foo foo salsa.
So I buy a can of generic diced tomatoes for 67 cents some cilantro for 50 cents.
With that and what I have at home this is what I made.
Oops I ate a whole bowl full.
I haven't had chips and salsa in months.

Yesterday I was looking on line about baked beans.
I ran across a recipe by Paula Dean.
The second thing on the list was 2 16 ounce cans of pork and beans.
No black strap molasses.
You gotta be kidding me that's a recipe.
Here is mine without bacon sorry I forgot to get it a the store.
1 Pound of dried pinto beans.
1/2 cup of dark brown sugar.
1 medium onion chopped.
About 1pint of tomato puree.
1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
1/4 cup of black strap molasses.

Soak drain and cook beans the day before making sure they are tender by having a bowl for supper.
You dont want a lot of water in the bean.
The next morning take from the refrigerator and mix in the ingredients.
Put in oven and bake until nice and thick.
If you ad sugar to beans before they are tender they won't get tender.
Here they are ready for the oven.

The only recipe of Paula Deen's I ever liked was her Grandmother Hier's carrot cake recipe. That is my go-to carrot cake recipe and if you make it you'll see why. Those beans look good, Worth.

My dad brought most of the food for our Labor Day get-together - smoked brisket, pork butt, and sausages, baked beans, and my great-grandfather's German potato salad. I think I get my cooking genes from that side because it was all SO good. Didn't think to take any pictures of it. Who knows if it was really good either, he had us all sloshed up on Cabo Waboritas well before eating time so my judgment might have been slightly impaired.

Good recipe and tips!

Well I hope so.
It has been years since I made them.
The tip on the sugar and uncooked beans came from Alton Brown years ago on one of his shows.
So I will give credit where credits due.
If you look above I packed some really lean pork ribs in rock salt to cur them.
Then I washed the salt off and packed them in brown sugar.
Yesterday I soaked them in fresh water to remove the salt and last night I simmered them in a pot of water.
I let the pot cool off and put it in the refrigerator.
This morning I dried them off and they are now in the smoker pit along with the remains of the pork roast I cooked.
It is all an experiment and may be a flop but I doubt it.
A very good friend of mine always cooked his BBQ-ed racoon this way.
It tasted like a suckling pig when he got through.

Folks there are a thousand ways to barbecue.
This is but one.
That leftover pork roast is looking pretty good.

The sauce is of my own creation.
1/2 cup of ketchup.
1/4 cup of dark sugar.
1/4 cup of black strap molasses.
1/8 to 1/4 cup of powdered chili Arbol.
1/4 cup of vinegar.
1/8 cup of lime juice.
The measurement are approximate.

Everything is doing okay so far.
The ribs came out on top.
You can't do this at a Barbecue contests because of time limitations.
This is why I abhor cooking contests.
The ribs taste like country hams.

Today was definitely the wrong day to skip lunch. Holey moley that looks delicious. I think I could eat ribs every day.
