Ok....I owe two recipes but it's gonna be after I move, AND get a day off from my two jobs....!

Carnivore is correct....tomatoes were considered poisionous just a couple of hundred years ago....I however happen to like Brit cooking.....and there is nothing better than a well cooked lasagna...LIKE MINE! No, I can't share the recipe, because I don't HAVE one...I make it by the 5...

Golly, I'd love to post the recipe for the beans and chili......but I don't have one! I just COOK! LOL! Next time I make a pot of chili, I'll write down measurements.....actually, when I get a day off from my TWO jobs....I'll post some recipes!

In Texas, pinto beans are used in chili...IF beans are used. Big controversy on that! LOL! And a "downhome country" meal is pinto beans slowly simmered with lots of smoked ham chunks, served with cornbread, "greens" country fried potatoes, and of course, iced tea.

Leigh, my grandmother cooked "butter beans" the same way....delicious! And you're right about slow cooking without seasoning overnight for just about any kind of beans...that's the way I like to cook them too. Sometimes I do add a bit of ham/ham hock, depending on the type of bean... :)

:) Thanks Coot! LOTS of "bean stew" recipes....but this is the only one that sounded "American" Seared cod with bean stew What can be more Bostonian that cod and beans? Surprisingly, they actually taste great together. You don't need any sides for this dish, but definitely lots of good...

Coot, did any of them sound really good? If so, share! 8)

:? I'm with 'coot and Elf......new one on me! Could you mean the tradional American Baked Beans? Tons of "Bean Soup" recipes...but "stew"?????

Oh, and answer to the original question...noodles are just fine too....cooked, then add butter, salt, pepper, and a touch of fresh minced garlic, and a dash of parsley.

Potato in any form is fine with me!! Except....with salmon patties ( or croquettes...which ever you prefer to call them) it MUST be buttered potatoes and green peas...with or without the carrots! Tiny red new potatoes, Petite Golden Yukons, quartered, or just ordinary Idaho "chunks" peeled or...

Elf, Just how "pre-baked" on the pie shell?

Mashed potatoes are traditional with meatloaf, at least around here. You'll usually find green beans or sweet peas and/or creamed spinach served along with these two...and fresh hot rolls, or cornbread. In fact, this is my menu for Monday! How 'bout some Apple Pie or Banana pudding for dessert? :D

I totally agree with both 'coot and ironchef....there are some spices I will NOT allow myself to run out of.. (garlic for one! ) As I said in my reply to the fajita recipe request.....the real secret is properly cooked good quality beef or chicken.

Elf: I almost always brown rice just a little before adding any liquid, regardless of the dish. I love the "nutty" flavor it adds. I agree ith you on the Creole/Cajun influence. You'll also similair mixtures of foods in the Hispanic culture. My son in law is from Mexico City, my family migrated...

musty? like that closed up smell we try to cover up with $$$$$ of candles, air fresheners? :)

I've tried saffron, and didn't find that it added much to a dish...except for yellow color. Tumeric is said to be a good substitute, and is far cheaper. Makes a pretty rice dish is about all I can say in favor of saffron! Frankly, in my opinion, for all that it adds to a dish, you may as well...

Hi Guys, haven't been on line in a couple of days :wink: I don't actually HAVE a fajita "recipe! " Just sprinkle with cracked pepper, smear some garlic and lime juice on it, maybe a few splashes of beer, let it sit in the frig a few hours, then grill. It's more a matter of good grilled beef...

If you're wanting to make it an "edible" creation, you could use a hard candy mixture, like that used for lollipops. Here's a basic recipe from an old Betty Crocker Cookbook. I would think a buttered mold could be used, in place of the instructions for making the lollipops. 1/4 c. butter or...

Indian Fry Bread Ok, it took me a YEAR to get around to this! 2 cups unsifted flour 1/2 cup powdered milk 2 tsp double acting baking powerd 1/2 tsp sal 2 tablespoons shortening 1/2 cup ice water oil for frying combine dry ingredients, cut in shortening....pour in water, ( much like working a...

This is the exact recipe I've used for years! And if you do have any left over, it's also good chilled, over ice....with a splash of BOURBON or vodka :D

I swear by my vintage upright Sunbeam Mixer, complete with original glass and metal bowls and beaters.....that's older than I am! Won't tell MY age, but the mixer is from the 1940's. It also just plain looks good sitting on the counter! :)

Nope, no boat tomorrow, storm warnings out...taking dinner to my friends place. Penne Lisce pasta with mushrooms, meatballs, and lots of sauce and cheese salad garlic bread strawberry cheesecake ( OK, we both prefer CHOCOLATE...but I gave that up for Lent, Strawberry anything comes in second)...

:wink:

Room temperature or slightly chilled? Please keep in mind that I'm in Texas and room temperature can be pretty darned warm! :?

My first reaction to the deep fried Oreo's was OMG! NO!!! But after a few seconds, I was wondering if they should be served with syrup!!!!
