Hello There Fall 2022

Today is the first day of Fall. It’s a time for being cozy, comfy and enjoying the season of pumpkin spice, flannel, soup, football, murder and other fun things.

Where I live Summer is trying to stick around as long as possible considering the temperatures being all wacky and stuff.

Let’s enjoy the days ahead where there’s hopefully a chill in the air and colorful vistas.

This started as a craving for both Brunswick Stew and Pozole Rojo, and [like David Pumpkins and other Fall treasures] became its own thing.

  • 1/2 lb shredded smoked pork
  • 1/2 lb shredded smoked chicken
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 large can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 regular cans hominy
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • dash of hot sauce (optional)

Place all ingredients in large Dutch oven or slower cooker. Heat on medium-low until cooked through and allow to mellow on low heat if possible. Serve with cornbread if at all possible.
