This past Sunday and I'm 28 now. You might be wondering "what was ole Linty's birthday dinner?" Well my friends, I can tell you this, it wasn't steak, sea food, or anything foreign (chinese, thai, etc..). I requested something that a lady made at work and my wife made it for me. And I thought I'd share it with everyone.
It's Beans and Ham.
Take one package of lima beans, put them in a crockpot. And take half a leg of ham and put it in the crockpot and then cover with water and set on low for 12 to 13 hours. Season as you wish and enjoy.
I haven't really dined on swine this past year, so a little bit of the dirty animal wasn't bad. I was in hog heaven (*honk, honk* (yes yes, bad joke, I know)). The damn meat just falls apart and gives it just enough salt too.
Oh well, I never heard of this dish till I moved to the south. But you know what? It was the best damned birthday dinner I've ever had. I think I might've found a comfort food.
