By now, I'd be sorely ticked and not favorably inclined toward
your BIL. Is Maryanne's sister a willing or unwilling participant
in his parsimony? I'd guess that in another environment she'd be
perfectly happy to engage in the normal social reciprocity.

Nothing says lovin' like something from the bargain bin!

Sounds wunderbar. Did you grill the bones at all to crisp the
edges, or did you just gnaw them as is? I think it's time for
me to find a plate of ribs, either beef or pig.

Yeah. Warmth is good (coolth is good, too, sometimes).
Freezingth is not good.

Chicken wings, gumbo-style
cat: New York, cajun, main
Serves: 8

1/4 lb salt pork
3 lb chicken wings
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 c onion chopped fine
2 c green pepper chopped fine
1 1/2 c celery chopped fine
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground round steak
5 c fresh peeled or canned tomatoes
1 1/2 c chicken broth
salt and black pepper to taste
3/4 fresh or frozen lima beans
1 c corn kernels
Worcestershire to taste
Tabasco to taste
cooked rice

Dice the salt pork. Render it. Save the cracklings. Brown the chicken
wings well in the salt pork fat. Set aside. In this same fat, wilt
the chopped vegetables and garlic. Add the ground meats and cook until
they lose their pinkness, stirring to break up lumps. Add the wings and
the cracklings. Add tomatoes, broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring
occasionally, for 30 min. Add limas and cook 30 min. Add corn and
Worcestershire and Tabasco and cook 15 min. Serve in soup bowls with
rice on the side. The recipe says to sprinkle each serving with the
pork bits, but the author forgot that [s]he'd put them in over an
hour before. Maybe save some pork bits for the purpose. Adapted
from NYT Heritage Cookbook.

M's note. Not tried anything like this. Looks like a real
artery-clogger, but probably tastes great. Except for the
lima beans, bah, humbug.
