Nancie McDermott will be our guest on the next episode of the Women Beyond A Women Beyond a Certain Age podcast! She's sharing her recipe for Virginia Brock's Georgia-Style Brunswick Stew in plenty of time to make a batch to enjoy while listening! Drops on Monday!

Virginia Brock's Georgia-Style Brunswick Stew

Ingredients
3½ lbs boneless pork, Boston butt, shoulder, or country-style ribs
2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1 can (28-oz) whole peeled plum tomatoes, with juice
1 can (28-oz) chopped tomatoes, with juice
1 bottle (20-oz) hickory-smoked barbecue sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) cream-style corn
1 can (14.5 oz) whole-kernel corn, or 1½ cups frozen corn
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp hot sauce, like Tabasco or Texas Pete
1 Tbsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
2 cans (15-oz) sweet peas like LeSeur, drained

Directions
1. Cut pork in chunks, place in large stockpot or Dutch oven, and add watrr to cover. Over high heat, bring to a boil and cook, skimming off foam as it rises, for 20 minutes. Lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until pork is tender enough to pull apart with two forks, 2-3 hours.
2. Transfer pork to a large bowl or platter, reserving stock for stew. Allow to cool to room temperature; then pull apart and roughly chop into small pieces.
3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil, swirling to coat pan. Crumble in ground beef and ground turkey and cook, turning and pressing to help cook evenly. When meat is cooked through, remove from heat and set aside.
4. Combine cooked pork, beef, and turkey in a stockpot or large Dutch oven. Add 2 cups pork stock, reserving remaining stock to use if needed.
5. Add tomatoes with juice, barbecue sauce, cream-style and whole-kernel corn, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, pepper, and salt. Bring to a lively boil over medium-high heat, stirring often.
6. Lower heat to maintain a gentle but visible simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stir and scrape bottom often to avoid stew sticking or burning. Add more pork stock, if stew becomes dry or starts to stick. (Use chicken broth or water if stock is gone).
7. When stew is ready, gently stir in the drained peas. Cook 5 minutes more and serve hot in bowls, with saltine crackers.

Brigit Binns is a well-known and prolific cookbook author but this week she’s here to talk about her memoir, Rottenkid: A Succulent Story of Survival. Her narrative includes Hollywood stories, an alcoholic actor father, a glamorous narcissistic mother, a bit of political intrigue, world travel, and the search for belonging. It’s a story of both privilege and profound neglect and shows how she found comfort and self-worth in the kitchen. Brigit’s memoir is a testament to female determination and will inspire all who suffer damage from a narcissistic parent. It's a great book, one you'll want to read!

Brigit Binns is with us on the next episode of the Women Beyond a Certain Age podcast! Brigit is a respected cookbook author but this interview is a bit different. She's written a memoir about which Chicago Tribune columnist Rick Kogan says, "Brigit Binns may have had a hard-drinking actor for a father and a mother of dangerous exuberance, but she is the star of her life story. This child of Hollywood writes with an observant honesty, telling of hard times and harrowing psychological troubles with surprising humor and heart. You will come away from this book with great admiration for her spirit and great affection for her." It's an incredible episode. Drops tomorrow!

What a life! What a career!
RIP James Earl Jones.

Happy Anniversary to WBACA!

A Message from Denise!

Cindie tells me that we are entering our 6th year of podcasting? Huh? Where does the time go when you’re having fun?!

Cindie suggested I say something.
Okay, here’s what I have to say…

My idea of starting the podcast was to keep working with Cindie. We sat next to each other in my office for almost 25 years and guess what? It wasn’t enough! My husband and I moved to Ventura and I was retiring. After 40 years of running my tiny money-making business, what I missed the most was Cindie. Not the celebrities, not the studios, not the creativity, not even our delicious lunches. I missed Cindie.

Cindie is the friend you want to share a lifeboat with. She’d find a way to kill and cook the circling shark. I can hear myself, “Tasty shark, Miss Cindie!”

The podcasts have been a learning experience. And what I have learned from nearly 300 podcasts, mostly talking to women, is:

Women are remarkable. Whether they are widowed, cancer survivors, busy moms, working authors, poets, filmmakers, CEO’s, divorced, broke, abused or heartbroken, women find a way to solve their own problems. It ain’t easy to pick yourself up but I have seen very few women give up.

And I believe it’s because they have to. Do they achieve their own dreams? Yes, when the time is theirs and they are BEYOND worrying about everyone else. When they slip into their own power.

Now, if that isn’t a summation of why a woman would make a fine president, I don’t know what is (we can’t make a bigger mess than men have made of the world!).

After some of our interviews with these remarkable women I just cried.
Cried from feeling their pain.
Cried because they had the power to keep going. Cried because I was impressed with their steely determination.
And so many were unaware of what they’d accomplished.

Pity parties were seldom witnessed.

If I was laughing or telling a story of my own painful moments, it’s because I’m a firm believer in laughter.
And how it heals us.
As does the gift of sharing.
Share the wound.
Let it breathe.
Let it heal.

We want to thank every person that has listened to our podcast. The listeners that reach-out with messages and with suggestions for guests. The publicists doing their jobs.
We appreciate you.

And by the way the sound quality has gotten better because of Miss Cindie. I move around too much and sometimes, miss the mic.
ADHD on steroids.
Or as an ADHD counselor said to me, “ I can’t believe what you accomplished without medication!”
Ha!

Let’s share more stories of Women Beyond A Certain Age and celebrate another year of each other!

My best to you.
Denise
