Last couple of nights. My OH cooked a very nice red and black bean stew from the cranks cookbook. One we've not done before, but will definitely do again. I just need to teach him that tomatoes stop things like carrots from cooking. Good thing i like them raw! :laugh:

After seeing TastyReuben 's yummy bowl of Chilli the other day I decided it had been a long time since I'd made one, so ready steady go.
I didn't have any green peppers ( I like a mixture of red and green) but that didn't matter too much. Pasilla chiles from Mexico added a nice touch, and I had to add another 4 fresh chile peppers because they weren't very potent.
You'll note my sous chef is taking orders.

I never see guanciale at my grocery store, they have a section for meats and cheeses that are more "uncommon" and I never see it there. I just use a good quality, thick cut, smokey bacon.
We have to go to the Italian market. Our regular grocery has a selection of prepackaged uncommon meats and charcuterie boards, besides a few uncommon meats in the deli case, but they don't have guanciale.
