Here are links to the chili and the cornbread we had at our house a few weeks ago...

Cornbread - we usually double this to fit in a 9x13 pan, otherwise no changes:

Chili - Tom smoked a pork loin and shredded it to use in place of the meat listed on the recipe. He also cut way down on the spices, and it's still spicy but delicious.

Happy November, family!  It's already the 12th!  It will be Christmas before I get turned around.  Hope you're all doing great and are looking forward to Thanksgiving at the Lindhardt's home.  Correct me if I'm wrong, Anneke, but I think the plan is for them to get all the food and then we'll all help pay for it.  Last year at this time, I was getting ready for another surgery. Glad I'm not this year.  Mom, Darla, Kathy and I are doing chocolates this Saturday. So far I made a batch of caramel that I cooked too long and they're too hard, and a batch of cream centers that went to sugar.  2 for 2.  I'm sure you'll all love my chocolates.  
Even though this is a month that we think of our blessings, I count all of you as my best blessings every day!

Chili

Well I was GOING to post a chili and a cornbread recipe, but I can't find them. UGH!! So instead I'll just say Happy Wednesday and I can't wait to see you all in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving!! I wish you had all seen this house before we moved in so you could appreciate how much better it's looking. We still have tons we want to do to it over the next lots of years, but we're loving it. I'll show you some before and after pictures when you're here or one day I'll post them here. Hope you're all well. Love you all.
