I had a few errands to run this morning but the rest of the day was all mine. Mrs. B was finishing up our Christmas shopping so I had the house to myself. I decided it was going to be a down south soul food day. I fired up the Mini Mx around 1:30.

Started with sweet potatoes. While they got started I washed and rinsed some collard and mustard greens and threw them in the pot with the onions, bacon, garlic and ham stock I make the other day. Also some black eye peas simmering away in the same ham stock.

There was no rush, after all I had all day. I cooked the greens I would guess 4 hours very slow until I was satisfied with the texture.

Cranked the heat up a tad and put the MM to work on the chops. What else with greens and black eye peas?

Chops on, mine with Carolina treat, hers just salt.

Finished it off with a pan of cornbread.

I have to say we enjoyed it.

Thanks for looking.

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

That’s some good comfort food right there brother.

Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"
