Continuing the Lenten Season menu...
Last night for Ash Wednesday I made "Fish and Broccoli Chowder", a new recipe. Not bad, but I'd make a few timing changes if I were to make it again.

Huckleberries......that brought back some wonderful childhood memories......picking them with my cousins, brothers and mom, making huckleberry pancakes, huckleberry syrup, and pies....yummy.
That also made me think of having scrapple too.
Fun fun...now I am hungry for these!

What do huckleberries taste like, anyway, compared to other berries?

From wikipedia:
The fruit of the various species of plant only called huckleberries is generally edible and tasty. The berries are small and round, 5-10 mm in diameter and look like blueberries. Berries range in color according to species from bright red, through dark purple, and into the blues. In taste the berries range from tart to sweet, with a flavor similar to that of a blueberry, especially in blue- and purple-colored varieties. However, many kinds of huckleberries have a noticeable, distinct taste different from blueberries, and some have noticeably larger seeds. Huckleberries are enjoyed by many animals, including bears, birds, and humans.
Fyi, from wikpedia as well
Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus,[1][2] is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then panfried before serving.

Just so my colleagues here do not get the idea that we Northern folks only eat things that squirm, I post what I'm making for Super Bowl Sunday:
PAPA JOE�S 5-ALARM CHILI AND PAINT REMOVER
Ingredients
� 1.5 tablespoons red pepper flakes
� 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
� 1 tablespoon ground red pepper
� 1 tablespoon chili powder
� 1 tablespoon paprika
� 1 tablespoon oregano
� 1 tablespoon cumin
� 2 pounds ground beef
� 2 cloves garlic, minced
� 1 tablespoon oil
� 3 10.5 oz cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
� 1 16 oz jar hot salsa
� 1 cup chopped onion
Directions
1. Mix dry spices together in large bowl. Add ground beef and garlic, mixing WELL, until beef has lost its red color.
2. Heat oil in large skillet (cast iron if available) over medium-high heat. Cook and stir meat mixture until fully browned; drain excess fat. Add tomatoes, salsa, and onions; mix thoroughly.
3. Transfer to slow cooker. Cover; cook on LOW 3 to 4 hours.
4. Serve over hot rice, preferably with fresh cornbread.
Chef�s Notes
1. Steps 1 and 2 can be done in the evening, with transfer to cooker done in morning, and cooked all day.
2. LOW setting on cooker should just barely cause eventual bubbling of mixture. Cooker should be experimented with to determine specific setting.
3. Traditionally, I have prepared this in a 1.5 recipe portion, adjusting all spices, and using 4 cans of tomatoes, and 2 16oz jars of salsa.
Go Giants! Looking sounds good....i sure will must be try this at home...i also found one this type of nice recipe from weekly magazine.I sure will must be next time post here.....Thanks for sharing this....

Ahh, I see. That may have been what I remember picking out in the country where I used to live. They were purplish things...

Well .. send some this way please! I am tired of my region living up to its name. "the lower rainland"
I mean lower mainland (British columbia, canada that is) :P
The snow comes but only long enough to drive our auto insurance rates up as people never prepare for the snow when it hits... then its gone and melts and turns to ice. Rinse repeat.

"Oooooh, you cruel woman", moaned the Roman Catholic, recovering cardiac patient, on a Friday in Lent! Tomorrow is Saturday, so hang on until then and make you own with good quality lean meat - or have you given up red meat following the heart business? A good Friday/post cardiac alternative is fish cakes, made with smoked fish fillets, mashed potato (don't use a lot - it drowns out the fish) a little cayenne pepper, parsley and other seasonings, egg to bind, rolled in breadcrumbs. Yum. I've given up chocolate for lent, so I appreciate your pain, NG!

First of all, tomorrow's holiday meal is already bespoken - corned beef, braised cabbage, boiled potatoes and carrots....with a Guinness or two! Cholesterol be damned - It's St. Patrick's Day! ![[Linked Image from planetsmilies.net]](http://planetsmilies.net/person-smiley-1069.gif) On the other, hamburger is okay in limited quantities, but would never again be teamed with your "chips". All the malt vinegar in creation would not convince my bride to set that before me!

I love anchovies. I had a problem with only needing a fillet or two for whatever I was making, and then I discovered anchovy paste in a tube. How awesome! Tonight, we are sadly having Publix frozen pizzas, and only because we are going out to the boat to get ready for tomorrow's all-day cruise, where we will be having a variety of sandwiches including this one: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2006/07/ciabatta_deli_sandwiches_with_pepperoncini_and_artichokes(that relish is AMAZING) along with roast beef and horseradish sammies, and BLTs. Some sides of jalapeno hummus and pita crisps, and pretzels with blue cheese dip. For the pretzels, I blend a package of cream cheese and a package of blue crumbles with enough milk to make it creamy and it is the bomb! Yeah, my cooking is like 'no cooking' right now. I complete my finals on Wednesday, and then we're getting a grill for the boat. I smell a lot of balsamic chicken in the future. A great marinade for both chicken and corn on the grill is: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/f...Thighs-with-Corn-and-Green-Onions-235597
