When I began this blog five years ago I had no idea what it would become or if it would even last. Well, it's lasted this long so I guess I had something to say about food and sharing meals with others. I'd like to dedicate this 5th year anniversary post to my mom, Annie, with whom I've shared lots of meals over my last 44 years. She taught me three things about dining with others that have stayed with me: 1) Sit up at the table 2) Chew with your mouth closed, and 3) the importance of having polite and meaningful conversations with others. Thanks Mom, I love you!How appropriate then that I had dinner with her tonight. Dale went over at about 3:00 today to help Mom with her taxes. I joined them at about 5:30. Mom made a delicious white bean chili. We had salads and bread along with it and also some wine. For dessert she made vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. She had them in the Tupperware container that she's had since I was a little kid.
Here's the recipe for the chili which comes from the Minnesota Cancer Registrars Association cookbook and was submitted by Amanda Hlad:
White Chicken Chili
2 cans great northern white beans, drained
6 c. chicken broth
2 small onions,chopped
1 T. oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp. oregano
2-3 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 c. cooked chicken, cubed
1 c. sour cream
Combine beans and chicken broth and simmer. In frying pan saute oil, onions, garlic, and spices. Add to stock. Add chicken to stock and cook 30 minutes. Add sour cream and heat through, do not boil. Garnish with shredded cheese and sour cream.
