Just finished making a family favorite for tomorrow that apparently is more like a family secret. I grew up eating “stuffed pears” on Thanksgiving and Christmas but seems everyone outside the family has never heard of such a thing. When I took them to a church potluck I could hear folks under their breath asking “what do you think that is?” From the looks on their faces it was clearly more of a yuck and not a wow! That was until they tried it, had four ladies ask for the recipe.

Large can of pear halves
8oz can crushed pineapple
2-3T sugar
8oz cream cheese
1t Vanilla

Blend cream cheese till soft, add sugar, then vanilla, and lastly pineapple. Once it’s all blended arrange a small casserole dish with pear halves, plop in the goodness and top with chopped candied pecans that I made. (If intersted’ I’ll share that recipe to)

Yeah, I love pears… this doesn’t appeal to me. there isn’t even any cooking involved. Good pears poached in a sauce, then add candied pecans or walnuts, heck yeah!

note, I’d still try it, lol

For lunch today, my wife put deer chili on spaghetti. It was an excellent way to stretch one serving of leftover chili into meals for the two of us…..

When camping, I don't take bread. I take tortillas. They are great for eating a chili dog --- fold it like a burrito and no chili will get on you.

Your results may vary.

Agree. When I use to backpack a lot I always took tortillas rolled up inside an empty Pringles can instead of bread.

Did a 'two-fer" today. Smoked both a ham and a turkey today. First time I ever did two in the same day with my little filing cabinet smoker! Had to do them one at a time.

Just finished processing 6 half pint jars of pepper jelly (pablano/jalapeno). Fingers crossed it’s tasty. Love the stuff on top a block of cream cheese and Triscuits or another cracker if your choosing.

Made a turkey pot pie for dinner tonight. Couldn’t think of anything better to do with all the leftover bird from Thanksgiving.
