Meal No. 2716: Brunswick Stew

A windy chill settled on Winston-Salem this week, bringing to mind the approach of even colder weather, even though it was deceptively sunny and bright. Yesterday involved some writing in the morning up in the third floor entertainment kingdom, but then I switched it up with a few hours down in the cellar vacuuming up the standing water and pumping it out through the dining room window. Those heavy rain bands from the passing of the remains of tropical system Eta really did a number on us here! Two large garbage bags of discard made it to the curbside waste cart but the rest of the refuse will have to be tackled in subsequent days. Perhaps all that is what helped kick up my appetite for a good cold-weather meal, and that led to a nice pot of delicious Brunswick stew, with freshly-cooked split chicken breasts (via the Joule sous vide immersion circulator) and the cuttings of smoked pork ribs shared by the good neighbors down the street. The after-supper treat of the last of the boozy butterscotch ice cream capped off another good day in the life of the Roediger House.




Brunswick Stew derived some inspiration from the following:
