Made a batch of chili con carne today. Surprise new ingredient this batch is cranberries. It creates a pleasantly light initial impression but if I didn't know cranberries were in there, I wouldn't have been able to identify the refreshing ingredient. Started with half a pork shoulder leftover and added some beef among other spices, onions and chilis (both dried and frozen out of my garden).

This Maryland beer is AWESOME and strong! Their IPA is great :thumb:

Missed your post- I agree :thumb:

Will do a roast in the crock as the starter for shredded beef nacho platter, get out the propane cooker for buffalo wings, and maybe chili.

Salted peanuts in the shell are a must.

Looks like it's FD vs AS

Go Anchor!

I am still putting my list together... im going to do 3 meatbbqmeatballs, (lamb beef pork) Cream cheese/flat meat rollups, 7 layer dip, rotel, hot wings.. still need to figure out a few more things. Going to have about 13 total people over, so not a big party, but 10 of them are eating machines, so need to plan accordingly.

Homemade nachos with the works and buffalo wings.

Yeah all of their beers are very good.
