I took the last of the salt and pepper ribs and added a can of pinto beans with their own liquid, gave the pot a good squeeze of that beer and chipotles in adobe bbq sauce, and let it simmer for a good while.
I stripped the rib meat off the bones but I left just enough for the satisfaction of sucking the bone clean.

Chili Mac and Friends
I get a little twist in my world when I need to describe this as chili mac because elbow mac is the only perfectly correct way to make this dish. Penne with ridges are first runner up and win the congeniality crown.
Of course I made dogs. I decided to also serve those two sides. That pasta salad has seen the last of the big elbows unless I decide to visit the only store when I can find them. It’s just that the store is on the wrong side of the county. Every other thing that I need I can get buy going down the road the other way.

Garnishes Gone Wild!
Beef & Barley
This is one of my top 5 soups/stews. I found a t-bone steak that had survived the Big Grind of the otherwise inedible grass fed beef. I will say that the tenderloin side of the steak looked to be plenty tender.
Ham & Eggs
We made a run to a new store that began selling stuff last Friday. They were set up well and observed all the Covid precautions. We needed a lunch, fast, so I fired up the griddle.
Candied Jalapenos
I’ve been grabbing jalapenos in ones and twos for slaw and such but I needed to use a bunch of them before they got away from me. Candied jalapenos!
Blueberries!
The skillet corn cake thing worked so well that MrsJ did it again, and had enough berries left to make a loaf of blueberry-banana bread.
Hot Ham with Egg and Cheese
On one of those Kroger onion rolls. Sammich Pr0n!
