• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What did you cook or eat today? (January 2026)

Another wet miserable day. Looked in pantry and found a tin of creamed corn. I know there's ham.in the fridge.
A sammy then with lots of pepper.
Shirl is back at work Monday so back to proper meals.
Was good plus enough ham for tomorrow.

I’ve missed seeing the creamed corn sandwiches! Huzzah!
 
For breakfast this morning for DH

A hard-fried Egg, Swiss Cheese and a Trader Joe's Chicken Breakfast Sausage Patty all on a nice and soft Brioche bun.
I cut everything up for DH so that he has an easier time of eating/biting.
Oh, baby Marzano Tomatoes, again cut up and not pictured is a small bowl of canned pitted Lychee and a glass of Cranberry juice.

[Edit] This was a huge batch that I set out back to cool overnight. I'll freeze half of it, if nature doesn't freeze it all overnight, lol.

I’m from Ohio, so forget all that stuff about “real chili doesn’t have beans,” and “real chili doesn’t use ground meat,” - that just looks like good “from round these parts” chili!

I like pretty much all chili, from authentic Texas Red chili with cubed chuck roast, and ancho, guajillo, and morita chilis, and no tomatoes or beans, to "Pennsyltucky" chili, where you brown some ground beef and maybe some pork, and then start popping can lids, lol. The latter is certainly quicker for a weeknight dinner. 👍
