Good evening all and happy Columbus day(10/12 the real day) I wonder if the government is shut down is Columbus day(Monday) still counts as a holiday?
I am full of chili from a chili cook off (12 enterys including 4 or 5 resturaunts) My favorites did not even place, they were chili with chocolate(kinda on the sweet side), Chili with sausage, a mild chili from a local diner. A kinda new to the area chain called Texas Road house had a chili that was good but to me it was like a burrito less the tortila shell and made kinda soupy. Mom bid on a cake and won a very large pineapple upside down cake. The proceeds went to the church missions.
No trains or train related stuff today, just work around the house and getting back into the work mindset as yet again I am scheduled for Sunday 2nd shift and Monday 1st shift.
2 Days in a row I fixed "mexican" corn bread, not that much mexican about it but here it is:
1 box of corn bread mix
1/3 cup of milk + a tiny bit more
1 egg
1/4 of a bag of shredded cheese
2 cut up into bits medium size bell peppers(red for some color)
(Optional) 1 or 2 small japhlpino or other chili peppers
1/2 drained can of sweet corn
(Optional) chopped up medium sweet onion
Pre heat oven at 400 to 450 Deg. F
Mix well all ingredints and pour into a greased pan or one that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Pan should be a shallow glass pan as a meatloaf pan makes it take longer to cook all the way through.
Bake until golden brown on the edges, poke the top of bread with knife if it comes out with runny stuff bake it a little bit longer. It is a moist corn bread but should not be runny. Can be ate alone or as a base for a taco salad.
