Another good, filling, satisfying recipe comes from Betty C’s kitchen, one that you can season to your own tastes (and needs), and will fill the bill on those cold, dark nights when it sounds like some unfortunate political animals might be out there howling in the outer darkness.<\/p>\n

It’s simple and easy to fix. Cheers!<\/p>\n
