I wonder what would happen if I used the chili pepper one for the cookies.

Chili pepper and chocolate together was trendy at some point in the foodie world, so you might want to try experimenting there.

We have a massive winter storm heading our way, with a predicted 8-14" of wonderful white stuff. We always celebrate the big ones with this delicious winter soup.

Potato Leek Soup

4 medium red potatoes, cut in bite sized chunks
2 carrots, chopped
2 Leeks, thinly sliced, white parts only
¼ lb bacon, cut into small pieces
1 Qt chicken broth
¼ tsp Pepper
½ tsp thyme
¼ tsp salt
1 Tbs chopped chives
Saute bacon pieces on medium. Add leeks when bacon is almost done. Stir and cook 5 minutes or until leeks separate and become translucent. Add broth, seasonings, potatoes, and carrots. Simmer, covered, for 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve with garnish of chives.

Everything's melting here, and we are expecting rain. Hard to believe you only live about 140 + miles north of me

I tried something new. Sam's Club had pork belly slices. I salted with pink Himalayan salt, seared them, and put them to roast in an oven, on a roasting pan, with a glaze, at 400.

Glaze: Savory spring honey, a little ground turmeric, and a little smoke paprika all mixed together. Using Hawaiian rolls, and making sliders. Might put a little cole slaw on mine, but Mom can't chew veggies now. I'll mention how it turns out later, and give a cooking time.

The pork belly sliders were drool worthy. Time is iffy though, maybe up to ten minutes, and I'd flip them once to prevent burning.

So they are tiny little burger-type things, made of bacon?

They're just thick slices of pork belly, on a roll, or slider bun.

Can you explain "pork belly" then? 'Cause where we comes from, boy, that's bacon. lol

Pork belly is what bacon is made from, but it needs to be cured. Here's a pic of some sliders.

I'm going to try something new tomorrow, Jade.

I'm making BRISKET for the very first time. Using a recipe given me by a Jewish golfing friend of mine...and cooking for 6 people. I'm hoping it is a success! I feel confident.
