Breakfast

Saturday Night Hubby wanted Breakfast for dinner instead of anything on the menu. We had biscuits, sausage, and scrambled eggs. Hubby Wanted to try Grandma's Molasses again. He said that he's always liked it. So I bought that for him and he found that he did indeed still like it. My father was always a syrup and butter person. This is what I like to eat. Hubby's Father was a Peanut Butter and syrup person. This was strange with molasses. I can eat molasses, but prefer syrup. I think it would be better with plain syrup than molasses.

Syrup and Butter:

Simply mix equal portions of syrup and butter. Blend well. This when finished will look like a curdled mass, because the syrup doesn't mix well with the butter. but it's good this way none the less.

Syrup and Peanut Butter:

Mix Peanut Butter with about two thirds the amount of syrup or molasses. Blend well. This will be a smooth mass as they blend well.

Cut chicken in pieces and boil 1 1/2 hours in water to which onions, celery, and bell pepper have been added. Then add olive oil, garlic and salt and allow to boil 1 hour longer. Wash rice and add with tomatoes and pimentos to chicken. There should be about 2 fingers of liquid above rice. Add a little water if necessary. Simmer slowly in covered Dutch oven for 30-45 minutes, or until rice is cooked. Stir once or twice while cooking.

Beans

Well, instead of the usual pinto beans it's going to be a mixture of pinto beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans. I've got tons of them all, and it's just for the sake of using them. Grin.

Well, that's it.
