Give me Chicken Soup any day. (See how I cleverly moved my post back to the topic?)  |
I heard this story second hand but apparently one Mexican restaurant used to cook their hominy in an open vat outside. One day a guy working on their roof fell off into the vat.
Guy nor hominy was hurt but they didn't throw the hominy out.
Now back to chicken soup, the key ingredient in my jambalaya is chicken and somehow it always fits the pot.
I have to watch which pot I grab. I once made 20 quarts. There are two of us.
