*hangs head... makin' me admit this public* Well... I made tortillas that were... wooden. Hard dry and tasteless, even. *sheepish look*

I used a rolling pin. I wanted to pat them out like the really accomplished tortilla makers do *yanno, says on the package, "hand-stretched, the old-fashioned way"* but I'm just not that coordinated so I rolled them out like pita bread or noodle dough. Got pretty good at it, but my wrists gave out last year so I had to stop.

Oh noes Catie. *shakes head*
Were they flour tortillas? Maybe you over-developed the gluten?

Speaking of stuffings, my favourite is one with macadamia nuts (slightly bashed), bacon, tomato, onion, and whatever herb I fancy at the time. Super good stuff! (I saute the bacon and onion first)

We all love tacos!

Geez there is so many ways to make them and have them! Mash Potato tacos Sun? Never heard of them. Doesn't sound appealing to me but then again, I will try it ! .. and I'll probably end up liking them cause I do like some fried potatoes in flour tortillas.

Anyone ever have Tacos with spaghetti in them ? or how about Tacos with ketchup as a condiment instead of salsa? I'm not a fan but have known people that like this stuff.

Like I said, you can have tacos anywhichway!

Hello everybody! Wow, this thread is active! woohooo. Food! Nice to see new and familiar faces here. Makes me happy, like food! haha.


(remembers making tortillas as a kid with my gram .. and making all the states too! Hey they tasted good and I enjoyed it so that's all that matters. )


Fried chicken talk, Bojangles, Church's, Popeyes, KFC. mmm mmm. One of these days I'm gonna go to each of these establishments and have a taste test. LOL! I know these restaurants are here. My mom's fav used to be Church's.


taco talk, and now steaks!!

What is your favorite steak people and how do you like it ?

How do you cook it ?

I love me a good ribeye cooked medium well! .. and I usually make my own. The best restaurant I found to make it is Texas Roadhouse. I also love a lil steak sauce on it like A1 or 57.

Well today I'm enjoying the rest of my hot and spicy chicken wings I got from Publix, a local, popular supermarket deli. They have wonderful chicken! Hell I may take the meat, put with some cheese in a tortilla for a variety. I will also have a slice of crumb crust apple pie my darling bought from there also this morning.

Sun, are you going after your fish taco?

My favorite steak is a rib eye or Porterhouse. I do a few marinades but really like A1 steak sauce. Beef in general, If I am cooking Chinese food I want to use flank steak. If I am having Mexican, I will go for Carne Asada. Eating out, Japanese, negima yaki. NY food..brisket. Lucky enough to be getting real BBQ - Beef ribs. Rare these days that I eat a good steak but I do like one now and then.

At Epcot I did not see a Chinese restaurant just a quick serve place. Where is it? The French restaurants were fun.

No fish taco, I had a lot to do today and have to allow myself a few hours between the travel time and all but I am going to try to get there tomorrow. lol

The fish taco better be good I sure posted enough about it.

At certain times o'the year we get Wagu...yes it is delicious.

It's our first Thanksgiving in the new house, and it's the first one where it will just be me, my son, GHB, and his father. Usually I get together with my parents, my brother and his family, cousins, etc..for Thanksgiving, so it's gonna be a quiet holiday this year (and I am so looking forward to it! It's going to be so nice to just be able to eat dinner and relax at home). I've cooked for the holiday before because when I was younger my parents would host Thanksgiving for the family...20 people or more...and when my mon started working nights, the cooking fell to me. I have the menu for this year all planned out. I'd love to know what everyone else is cooking for Thanksgiving. Do you have any traditional or cultural dishes that you cook for the holiday? If you are cooking turkey, what are some of your favorite side dishes? Are there any unusual/"non-traditional" dishes that you serve? (I am a total foodie, and love learning about new dishes and recipes! )

Corkey have you thought about having your own food blog?

I bet you could do a heck of a job on one. You have a lot of great experiences
and information to share.

Tacos... I've had potato taco's, seasoned cubed potatoes as the main filling in corn tortillas, delicious! I do adore the variety of ways to make tacos. yum...

Okay Mexican food makes me very happy. It could be that I miss home very much right now and so foods from home are very much on my mind. Today The General and I were at the grocery store. We noticed a granola chip made in Oregon. I gasped, she questioned why. We had to buy them. Well because it is food from Oregon The General says in that sassy valley girl way she has developed (at 6 1/2 she is very mature you know).

Approaching holidays reminds me of cooking with my mom.. I'll make that a separate post.

What I came in here to say was.... just put a pumpkin bread in the oven. I told The General I was going to make it and she said.... better add raspberries mom or I won't eat it. And since she picked brussell sprouts for her dinner vegetable I am going with it (seriously? brussell sprouts? who knew). So it has raspberries instead of nuts. Should be yum!

My love and I enjoyed Golden Corral last year for Thanksgiving when we were friends. It was fantastic and they had everything!

We enjoy Golden Corral almost at least once a week. We love the variety and it takes care of several cravings. LOL

Good lord that is a feast! How many people are you having over?

Want to ship me a care package?

Speaking of that someone offered to send me jam in a rep comment and now the comment is gone I did not reply right away and the comment got repped right out of there.

You have such a charmed life with those adorable little ones. Lucky you. I need a little one, or two, or three. lol

Oh well maybe someday.

What kind of pies are you making?

[ruffryder]

I enjoy apple pie anytime! I prefer the one with a crumb topping or a caramel drizzle over it. mmm. mmm. I also like pumpkin pie during these fall holidays. Ice cream over a warm pie slice is great too! Have to have a nice cup of hot chocolate or dark roast coffee with it!

Is it a pie or is it a cake or all in it's own category? Cheesecake I like strawberry or plain ol'.

Maybe we'll see some more recipes up here for pies. Here is one for pumpkin croissants we tried a few weeks ago. Instead of cutting all the crescent rolls in half, we made some whole ones and prefer that. Also I would prefer more pumpkin and less of the cream cheese. We also used cinnamon instead of p. pie spice to roll them in with the sugar.


For 32 mini croissants use 2 tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls. Roll each crescent roll out and cut lengthwise in 2.

1/2 block of cream cheese
1 cup of canned pumpkin
1 - 2 T pumpkin pie spice
3 - 4 T sugar (granulated or powdered)

Beat together until fluffy and creamy. Mix together 4 T sugar and 1 T pumpkin pie spice and roll each pumpkin pie croissant in it. Bake at 375* for 15-18 minutes.

Hi spritzerJ, Welcome to the thread!

I know that feeling of seeing something that reminds you of home and getting excited about it. Very cool. Oregon has the best berries that I have ever had. Several friends grew up there and now live elsewhere and have to mail order berries in.

Sounds like you have a little Chef in the making. Good choice! Raspberries in the Pumpkin Bread.

How did you cook the Brussell sprouts? You must do them very well for a young one to enjoy them that is one tough vegetable to get kids to try!
