[QUOTE=Sun;735188]I see you as a cute lol cat and you can haz soup I duz not know if ah should be responsible for givin you beer. I sawz what yo cat frenz duz wif beerz. Jus sayin ;)


I iz quite kittun like but not many people really get to see what I mean. I canz be trusted wif beer!!!! It's BEER I can't wastes that!!! Thankz for tha soup though . In all fairness I am far more liklely to spill hot sauce on myselfz. It's a natural talent. Why doez shirts not haz hot sauce resistance? Wrinkle resistance doez no good to me. I never learnz that white shirts attract stainz either so I try to not wear white. I still spill thingz

Question for you all, does anyone know what the regional specialty dishes are in Atlanta? [/COLOR][/B][/QUOTE]


Chicken and Waffles, peach cobbler I am sure there iz others but those two I know for sure! Soul foods

It's always time for Pho! I am grateful to have an amazing place right around the corners....or maybe it's a curse...lol....

Something
 

Our food here in Georgia is southern based. Barbecue,fried chicken,catfish,shrimp,fried green tomatoes,grits,greens,cornbread,jambalaya,biscuits . Hope this helps you out Sun. We are very friendly people your gonna love Atlanta! My suggestion fry it make it spicey they will eat it. (lol)

seeds
 

I've been reading this sting about the seeds and I am definitely am going to orders some. What I was thinking though, is that if you contacted Underwood directly, they might be able to send seeds abroad. Just a thought.

I think this is wonderful that you are taking the time to teach her and that she's willing to learn. When my ex and I were together I really wanted to teach my stepson 'cause I didn't him to grow up and be one of those 'helpless' bachelors. Alas he was fine 'helping' once in a while, but it wasn't his thing. I've lost contact with him, sadly. I hope that he's eating real food and not canned/processed junk.

They sound really cool, don't they? I'd never heard of them before.
The difficult part is getting them through customs, they would most likely be confiscated.

Yes, it's such an awesome skill to have. Even more awesome if you can learn to love it!

She is quite interested in food. One of our favourite things to do is to go to one of those international supermarkets and look at all of the interesting things that you can't get in the regular supermarkets.

She's very open to trying things she's never tried before. She turned 18 last Friday and we went to a buffet restaurant (she loves the variety of those places) and she tried a baby octopus. She ate the whole thing, but said she probably wouldn't bother eating any more of them.

Have a wonderful and safe trip! I can't wait to see your posts when you return.

They take bbq seriously in Atlanta! Then again, all southern soul food is sure to hit the spot . Fried okra, shrimp & grits, bread pudding, hush puppes and homestyle beans!

There are lots of little local diners, food trucks and the like for you to experience the regional flavors. Speaking of food trucks, if you want to track where to find a good spot so you don't need to worry about hotel food, look here! They even have menu's listed :)

I did some research. I am not sure the days you will be gone but Jan 26th there is an Atlanda beer festival. Atlanta Winter Beer Fest!

The 25th-27th they have a harley booth at the motorcycle show. I know it's not food related but I thought if you had time, it may peak your interest.


Here is a link for things going on around the area food & drink related : http://www.atlantabuzz.com/category/food-drink/

I really haven't posted anything here but photobucket seems to be popular. I have one of those lol

I had the most wonderful lunch today at a little mediteranean bistro!

The atmosphere was classy but still casual and comfortable. They set the tone with goegeous red table settings, cute candle holders and faint authentic music playing in the background.

The lighting was perfect, my waitress was a resfreshing burst of energy & the food was out of this world. I think I had a divine experience, similar to the ones from Eat pray love. THAT is exactly what I have tried to embrace and it's the type of life I want to continue living. Fresh food, lovely ambiance and the feeling as if you've been transported to an exotic destination.

I am still swooning. Okay so my lunch is pretty much the only thing I will be eating today because there was so much to choose from and I couldn't resist!

I started with a glass of water with extra lemon & then I had a pepsi with my main.

I shared two appetizers : Tyrokafteri Dip - a feta and roasted red pepper spread served with fresh warm pita bread & mythos mussels - steamed in greek beer, lemon and a fresh garlic cream

My entree was a lamb and spice stuffed grape leaf (just one) on the side of a chicken and chorizo whole wheat penne with bright fresh veggies, a spicy tomato sauce and manchego cheese.

I really didn't have any room for dessert BUT who can turn down herbal tea, deep fried cheesecake & baklava?? :)

My friends are too kind to me.

That sounds wonderful!
I've heard of lots of deep fried things before, but never deep fried cheesecake :)

Was it amazing?

We started making Tiramisu in class today, and it will be finished next week. It was fun, and I think that I am really going to enjoy my Advanced Pastry class. It looks like we will be making mostly tortes, and European style desserts. :)

That's delicious! I wish I could sample your work :P

Greetings everybody! Not sure if there is a particular topic for discussion, but, I love reading and learning.
I have it on good authority than our very own, Sun made killer enchiladas that I saw a pic of and am dying for his recipe!
lemons ......aids in detoxing & digestion. High in vitamin C. Burns fat & accelerates weight loss.

I made a very good salad the other day that I had the recipe for. Shredded cabbage, chopped radishes, green onions, and chopped cilantro. the dressing was simply lemon juice, and olive oil. The cilantro really made it delicious .

Thing about cilantro, peeps either hate it or love it. I love it, strong taste, like rosemary.

I love cilantro! Your salad sounds wonderful :) You'll have to let us know how the enchiladas turn out.

Yesssss when Sun gives us the recipe.

I am going to have so many recipes to try out. This is wonderful!

Regarding cheese ......
My mom had this cheese grater. It was all metal. It had a crank. Each blade was a round disc. It was the best! Super fast. I found one somewhere and bought my own. I don't have a pic, however. I swear the cheese tasted better using it. :passinggas:

My mom's recipe every Thanksgiving and Xmas.
Even though it is called onion pie, it is the cheese that makes it delicious. Similar to a quiche.


Onion Pie

Crust: 1 and 1/2 cups crushed soda crackers
1/2 cup melted butter
mix till crumbly and line large pie plate.

Saute 3 1/2 cups sliced onion in 1/2 cube butter.
Scald 1 cup milk. Let it cool. add the milk and 3 slightly beaten eggs to the onions. pour into the prepared pie plate.
Cover top w/ grated cheddar cheese.
Bake at 325 til brown, about a half hour.


Coconut ..... lowers cholesterol, improves diabetes, aids digestion, high in protein & calcium

Remembering
 

Iz afeared I really can't describe a shallot, but I can eat them and not the others without pills. Go figure. They are probably not as strong in their chemical make up, which goes better with mah system. Back to bed, parental carbon units for lunch tomorrow, today, oy'

I like shallots, do you mean the green ones? I'm not sure if that you call shallots and what we call shallots is the same thing - they look like these:
http://www.taste.com.au/how+to/artic...green+shallots

They taste a bit less intense than onion. If you've had chives or leeks, they are kind of like that. Oniony but planty as well (those are technical terms, by the way) - lol :)

Happy birthday to your Mom. I'm like that with my Grandma's recipes. They are so special because they are in her handwriting. Hugs to you - I miss my Grandma too.

Shallots, to me, are a different thing. Here is a link to what I understand as shallots: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recip...363/index.html . They are kind of a mix between onions and garlic, and are very good.

I just saw a recipe for caramelized shallots on a website, that I am looking forwards to trying out soon. I shan't give out the recipe yet, as I haven't tried it out. Besides, it is someone else's recipe, and she has her own website, so that wouldn't be fair to her.

Oh, they look just like little onions!
Funny how things differ between regions and countries.

We don't say cilantro at all here, it's just coriander. Fresh coriander / coriander leaves, otherwise just coriander if it's the dried, ground seeds. I like the idea of calling it cilantro as it eliminates any doubt. I bet it's caused a lot of confusion when Americans have come across a recipe from Australia (or England, I think)

Ltns peeps. This is our Friday tonite. Short week for us.

My menu for tonite us:

Cajun catfish just haven't decided if it will b baked, fried ir a faux grilled.

Home made cole slaw

Home made hush puppies

southern baked beans
Pickles

Now she knows :o

mmmmmm now my belly is rumbling even more! :) Can't wait baby...xo

Good evening everyone!

My apologies for not keeping up on this thread for a few days. I hope everyone is taking care.

Tonight I made a veggie chili. I used ground soy browned and seasoned instead of the ground beef. It turned out amazing. I even put it into a bread bowl and topped it with a bit of light cheddar.

What does everyone like to eat on a cold winter night?

How interesting, I must keep an eye out for some!

Oooh, I love winter food. Soups and stews - it's real comfort food.
Can't wait for the cooler weather to come 'round again.

Your veggie chili sounds wonderful!

Yum!
 

MMM, sounds wonderful.
and
this is what I use most of time.

Dante, is this similar to what you are referring to?

We are enjoying Beef stew tonight. My honey makes it with beef chunks (grass fed), multi coloured carrots, potato, thyme, tomato, beef stock, garlic, onions and I'm sure I'm missing something. I just come prepared with an hungry appetite. :eating:
