Burgoo

If you live in Kentucky or in the South then you know what that today's entry title refers to. Today I learned what it is. I'm going to have to make it! The trick is, finding a pot big enough!

Seems that there is no standard recipe other than a basic outline of ingredients. I like this kind of recipe. It allows for creative culinary expression. Therefore, I found three different recipes online and will create my own version from what appears to be consistent ingredients across all of them. I will have to first buy a stock pot large enough and see if I can't invite some people over to eat it with us once I make it. If you're in the area, consider stopping by and helping us eat it. I think it's going to make about 10 servings or more. I hope it freezes well.

Estimated date I'll be trying my hand at making burgoo will be after the first of the month. Hopefully a big stock pot won't cost too much money. And finding okra in the local grocery stores might prove to be difficult. It's not something I have ever looked for around here and I know it's not commonly used.

I gave Pooky a list for some ingredients to make some pork chops in mole sauce via the crockpot for tomorrow. He'll get the stuff after work and I can start it when I get up in the morning. I have no idea how long it will take to cook in the crockpot since the recipe isn't for a slow cooker, but it should work. I want the pork to be fork tender and a crockpot does that to pork.
