BettyI wrote last year about how local cultural enthusiast Betty McDaniel had a visit from the Ghosts of Appalachia Past, Present and Yet To Be. [cointent_lockedcontent]After those visions, Betty began to startle everyone by bringing to fruition the first ever “Gathering On Appalachian Life.” What an incredible success that gathering was! People have not stopped talking about the interest that was made manifest at the different events.

Please mark your calendars now for the second Gathering on Appalachian Life, a festival of activities to be held Feb. 27 at the Hagood Community Center — also known as the Pickens Senior Center. Registration will be held at 8:30 a.m., and the first session will begin at 9 a.m.1-27 Page 1B.indd

Betty began to react to her visions last year by contacting major organizations that might be interested in sponsoring such a gathering. Those buying into her visions were such groups as the Pickens County Historical Society, Pickens Revitalization Association, the Hagood Mill Historic Site and Folklife Center, Birchwood Center for Arts and Folklife, Preserving Our Southern Appalachian Music Inc. (POSAM) and many, many more.

The things Betty has been able to accomplish after the ghosts’ visits are as remarkable as the transformations that took place after those ancient ghosts visited old Ebenezer Scrooge. Many facets of our Appalachian past will be featured in this 2016 gathering. There will be a general session and four break-out sessions.

The general session will feature three genuine cultural icons from around Pickens.

Wayne Kelley is senior vice president of the Pickens County Historical Society and co-chairman for the Consortium of Upcountry South Carolina History. Wayne will speak about the importance of history that tells us who we are.

Dennis Chastain is a fantastic outdoor writer, historian and naturalist. He has

researched Native American history for decades and will speak on ancient Cherokee life here where we now live.

Les McCall is director of the Agricultural Museum of South Carolina, and who better to speak about Appalachian farming as a way of life?

Each of the four sessions will include many opportunities from which the people in attendance at the gathering might choose. Such events are: gospel/shape note singing, planting in the mountains, fair isle knitting, language of Appalachia, Pickens to Pumpkintown, Appalachian hearthside cooking, bee keeping, blacksmithing, hewing logs, moonshining, Appalachian genealogy, Appalachian dance, folk music and many different tours.

While the Hagood Center will serve as the base for activities, other venues such as Hagood Mill, the historical room of the Easley Library and Dale Harward’s barn for beekeeping will be used as well.

Appalachian Music

If you like Appalachian music, you will encounter a real treat. Pickens’ own performing Young Appalachian Musicians, known as the Sweet Potato Pie Kids, are fabulous! They will perform from 8:30-9:05 a.m. at the Hagood Center before the general session.

I absolutely love the Heartstrings, who not only give history of gospel music, but allow singalongs as Lib Porter and Joy Evans, a fiddle instructor for Young Appalachian Musiicians, sing old favorites from Appalachia. Steve MaGaha will lead a session on Appalachian folk music. Listen, folks. Steve is a Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award Winner, the highest South Carolina Heritage Award that can be achieved. There will be singalongs at this Appalachian gathering!

When the Ghost of Appalachia Present had Betty McDaniel touch his robe, they flew to Nashville, Tenn., and the Opryland Hotel. There, Pickens County’s own Hot Foot Cloggers of Six Mile were performing to the delight, screeches, whistling and clapping of the large, uninhibited auditorium crowd. Betty asked the ghost, “Why can’t we do something like that at a gathering in Pickens?”

The ghost replied without making eye contact, “Oh my dear! All the good intentions in the world don’t add up to one single little inviting act.” So Betty acted on the vision, and look out! What kind of an Appalachian gathering would it be without a little dancing? Laken Pilgrim, a clogger since primary school and a Hot Foot clogger from Six Mile, a champion clogger in college and a wonderful instructor, will demonstrate clogging and moves for old Appalachian square dancing. I have been under his tutelage, and highly recommend him. Look for a dance floor full of hot feet.

Moonshining, Cooking, and Other Aspects of Appalachian Heritage

Because of the isolation of much of Appalachia, moonshining has always been associated with its steep ridges, deep hollows and cold, pristine mountain water. Our upper Pickens County offered ideal conditions. At the Appalachian gathering, you can see a real moonshine still and see exactly how moonshine was made in this region. You can also hear from a retired (reformed?) moonshiner.

All Appalachian gatherings must include food. Lunch served the day of the gathering at the Hagood Community Center, Feb. 27, will be an old Appalachian staple — chicken pot pie, greens, apple crisp and drink.. There will also be a demonstration by Carol Bozarth on how to make coffee Appalachian style. First, one must roast the coffee over the open fire before grinding and boiling. Yum! Yum!

Yours truly is a person who really believes in “Inside the Skull” research. Since all my formative language years were spent in sawmill villages in the rough mountains of Northernmost Georgia, Western North Carolina and the moonshine capital of Appalachia, a place called Stinking Creek, Tenn., I will speak to home-rooted Southern Appalachian language heard and spoken daily. I will also tell my favorite haint tale, “How the Ol’ Hoot Owls Come to Shootin’ Creek,” with my wife, Elaine, adding sound effects on the autoharp. The haint tale will be full of home-rooted Southern Appalachian mountain language; gleaned from personal “Inside the Skull” research.

There will also be guided tours to places like the old Pickens Presbyterian Church, a most interesting church where the guide will take you far back into the history of the old Pickens District. You will sit in the original pews facing the original pulpit on a hill overlooking the Keowee River. There will be a tour available for those who would like to visit the Pickens County Art and History Museum that focuses on the history of this place “where the mountains begin.” I believe you will be as dazzled as I was by the museum’s comprehensive displays and artifacts.

Conclusion

Wow! I am sorry that Betty McDaniel had such a tumultuous night with the ghosts. But just like in “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, all of us in this place — like those around Ebenezer Scrooge in London — will benefit from the ghosts’ visits to the bucolic farm house of Ed and Betty McDaniel. After the visits to Ebenezer Scrooge, many families were affected for years to come. Bob Cratchit, his family, and especially Tiny Tim with his medical costs, weren’t the only ones affected. There was his nephew, Fred, and all the less-fortunate people, from Christmas 1843 until now, who have been assisted because of the ghosts’ visits, and how that changed the perception of one person.

In a similar manner, the ghosts that visited the historic old McDaniel home place just before Christmas in 2014 will forever affect Pickens County. There will be a greater sense of pride, a larger inheritance to leave those who come after us and a much better sense of place. Just as Scrooge said after he had unexpectedly showed up at the Christmas party of Fred, his nephew, “Wonderful party! Wonderful games! Wonderful unanimity.”

See you at The Hagood Community Center on Saturday, Feb. The cost will be $20. The Appalachian lunch will be $5. This is an unbelievable bargain considering the many possibilities for so many different interactive workshops. If you need a registration form or more information, you can google Gathering on Appalachian Life registration form for Feb 27, 2016. Please join us! You’ll be glad you did.

Super Bowl chili dishes made easy

By Olivia Fowler

For the Courier

ofowler@thepccourier.com

Chili is a go-to dish for Super Bowl events. It’s popular with a crowd, but it doesn’t have to be predictable.

And remember, it can be as spicy as your taste buds dictate. You don’t have to put as much heat as called for, or you can reduce the amount of heat. It’s up to you and what your friends and family prefer.

These recipes can all be made ahead of time and refrigerated. It seems to give the flavors time to blend together. I hope you enjoy one of these this weekend. Go Panthers.

 

White Bean Chili

  • 2 1/2 c. white beans, like a mixture of great northerns, cannellini and limas
  • 4 large yellow onions
  • 4 carrots
  • 4 ribs celery
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. garlic
  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 1/2 bunch parsley
  • 3 qt. vegetable stock
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp. cumin seed
  • 1 tbsp. black pepper or to taste
  • 2 tbdp. ground cumin
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 tbsp. fresh oregano leaves
  • Salt to taste

Soak the beans for six hours or overnight. Drain and reserve.

Peel and dice onions and carrots. Trim and dice celery.

Heat oil in a large pot. Add onions, carrots and celery and sauté until soft.

While the vegetables are cooking, peel and mince garlic. Add to pan and sauté for two minutes.

Using rubber gloves or covering hands with plastic bags, clean seeds and stem from jalapeno and dice. Chop parsley.

Add beans to pot and toss for one minute. Add jalapeno, parsley, vegetable stock, thyme, bay leaf, cumin seed and black pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add cumin. Cook slowly for 90 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached.

Chop cilantro and pull oregano leaves from stems. Add salt, pepper, cilantro and oregano.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Remove bay leaf

Chili Con Carne

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 lbs. ground beef chuck
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 c. chili powder
  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 12-oz. bottle amber beer
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 28-oz. can whole plum tomatoes, crushed by hand
  • 1 1/2 c. low-sodium beef broth, plus more if needed
  • 2 15-oz. cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp. hot sauce

  • Shredded cheddar cheese, sliced scallions and/or sour cream, for topping (optional)

Cook the bacon in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, 6-8 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and let cool, then crumble and set aside. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the saucepan (reserve the drippings). Increase the heat to medium high, add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about eight minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon; wipe out the pan.

Heat one tablespoon of the reserved bacon drippings in the saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about five minutes. Add the garlic and one teaspoon salt and cook two minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the tomato paste is brick red, about six minutes (add a splash of water if the mixture begins to stick). Add the beer and simmer until almost completely reduced, about three minutes.

Stir in the beef and any juices from the plate; add the cocoa powder, tomatoes, beef broth and beans and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens slightly, about one hour, 30 minutes.

Stir the hot sauce into the chili and season with salt. Add some beef broth if the chili is too thick. Ladle into bowls and top with the crumbled bacon, cheese, scallions and/or sour cream.

 

 

Two Meat Chili

  • 2 1/2 lbs. beef chuck, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 lbs. pork shoulder, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp. kosher salt plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 to 1/2 c. olive oil
  • 2 large Spanish onions, chopped
  • 10 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 c. New Mexico red chile powder
  • 2 tbsp. ancho chile powder
  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tsp. oregano, crushed (preferably Mexican)
  • 6 c. beef or chicken broth, homemade or packaged)
  • Two 15 1/2-oz. cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Serving suggestions: White rice, sour cream, chopped cilantro (fresh coriander), shredded cheddar, minced fresh or pickled jalapeno peppers

 

 

Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and season with the salt and pepper. Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a large stew pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the meat, in small batches, until well browned, adding more oil to the pan if needed. Transfer meat to a bowl and reserve.

Discard all but two tablespoons of the oil from the pan. Sauté the onions over medium heat for 10 minutes, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon from the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and sauté for two minutes more. Stir in the chili powders, cumin, and oregano and cook for two minutes. Whisk in five cups of the stock. Add the meat and any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer. Season the chili with salt and pepper to taste, and stew the meat with a cover slightly ajar until almost tender, about three hours.

In a food processor or blender, puree half of the beans with the remaining stock. Add the bean mixture to the chili along with the whole beans. Simmer for one hour more or until the meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with rice and selections of condiments, like sour cream, chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar, minced fresh or sliced pickled jalapenos.

Slow Cooker Chicken Chili

  • 2 lbs. ground chicken, coarsely ground preferred
  • 3 tbsp. chili powder, plus 2 tsp.
  • 1 (15-oz.) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-oz.) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 (28-oz.) cans diced fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 10 oz.), peeled and shredded
  • 1 (15-oz.) can low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 c. instant tapioca (recommended: Minute tapioca)
  • 1 to 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce with seeds, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground cloves
  • 1/2 to 3/4 c. lager-style beer, optional

Toppings: Sour cream, shredded Cheddar or Jack cheese, chopped scallions, and chopped pickled jalapenos

Put the chicken in the slow cooker. Add three tablespoons of the chili powder and all the rest of the ingredients, except the beer. Stir everything together, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Just before serving, stir in the remaining two teaspoons of chili powder, the beer, if using, and season with more salt and pepper, to taste, if desired. Divide the chili among warm bowls. Serve with the topping of your choice.
