(Alabama – Neil Young)
An easy day today. Off to the gym for cardio and pilates, then Starbucks and immediately right back home. Weather forecast for this afternoon was sunny 😎 and 13C which on our deck can be extremely hot so I didn’t want to miss one minute of deck time.
Southern Meal #9
Alabama Camp Stew and Cornbread
If you go to the grocery store in Alabama to get the ingredients for this I’m told the cashier may say,” You’re making camp stew.”.
Alabama Camp Stew is a traditional dish, popular in the American south, generally involving a tomato base, local beans, vegetables, and originally small game meat, though today often pork or chicken. (I used chicken.) The origins of the stew are currently unknown although it seems to have received this name as it was easy to make while camping.
The recipe site I used said Alabama Stew is as old as the hills and is often also known as Brunswick stew. Works for a Maritimer.
I had some leftover cornbread that I had previously frozen so decided to use it rather than make a fresh batch.
The stew was delicious, so flavourful. We both agreed that we’d make it again. Richard had his with Naan bread and I ate the cornbread. The cornbread wasn’t as good as when it was freshly made but still tasted great.
We had a stunning sunset tonight. Our local friend also enjoyed it. 🥰
Another beautiful, amazing day.
Nite y’all. 😴
