I picked that photo up online, but it was pretty similar to what we had. I think it's somewhere in between cast iron and steel and had a small propane tank hooked up to it.

I've also thought of something else that was tradition when I went to Mexico with my grandparents when I was little and that was having parties and having a pig roast. Chicharrones were made from the pig. yum! I still enjoy chicharrones which is basically fried crispy pork and mostly the fat back of it. My family has also slaughtered and cooked goat. It is pretty good. . and I've ran into this again with Somalis in Denver and tried some at one of their Halal (Only what is permitted by Islam) Markets. They enjoy not only chicken but goat.

I've lived in Colorado but unfortunately I really didn't sample any of their good cuisine. I've heard also they have some good fare and restaurants. I know I enjoyed their Mexican Food. I've always enjoyed this restaurant, Casa Bonita, and the entertainment they provide. It is a must if you ever do go to Denver! .. and they have some good sopapillas made fresh with honey is sooo good!

yeah I'm hungry now too! We should all cook! hehe.

Denver has a great food scene. There is a Tapas place downtown that was excellent. Cant recall the name.

Sopapillia's! OMG at Maria's in Santa Fe I had the best and its so simple. No idea why theirs was so good. Another great fried food to eat once in a while.

I am going to check on that cook top disc thing and see what I can learn. Love that idea.

Ok ruff your post really made me want to cook and I am supposed to be taking some down time. Wish I had someone to cook for me, I may be dropping by all yalls (as you folks say in the south!) places real soon for some good home cooking!
