Sufferin’ succotash
Once again (two days in a row!) I made up my own recipe. I used to have a “chicken in succotash” recipe somewhere. I thought I typed it into my ancient, clunky old MacPlus. The one we had when the beach urchins were children. I would start up a complicated Excel spreadsheet, go down to the dungeon to move the laundry around and when I came back, my document would be open. Maybe. Or maybe the recipe was in a cookbook. I own quite a few cookbooks. But it wasn’t anywhere. Southern Heritage Cooking? I am not southern (I am waaaay northern) but I own that book. But it wasn’t in that book
So I googled again. Recipes for succotash abound. I couldn’t find one with chicken, at least not one I thought would work for me today. So I cooked some boneless chicken thighs and sauteed some red onions and peppers with herbs, and boiled some lima beans and corn. I put all of that stuff in a baking dish and am baking it. Along with some biscuits (and make no mistake, I am not the best biscuit maker on earth).
Last night we went to the Sports Bar Westside for a Friday dinner of porterization. This is what we encountered when we walked out. As we were driving home, we saw lots of faraway lightning and then more when we got home. More rain this morning and some lightning kept me from getting grocks but I eventually managed it.
