Life is too short to eat food that you don't like.

Re: Food that you love

My mom used to make something that was pretty good. For dinner, she would sometimes brown hot dog buns in a pan. She would put butter on the buns, and brown them in a pan.

She would then make scrambled eggs. We would put the scrambled eggs in the hot dog buns. We would put ketchup on the eggs. It was good.

An inexpensive dessert that we would have is to dip a piece of bread in milk, and then sprinkle brown sugar on the bread.

My mom made pancakes. I liked to put molasses or dark Karo syrup on them.

Re: Food that you love

Soooooo. Housemate and New Housemate (...Georges and Alex, hereby known as Liebling and The Master [Doctor Who fangirl]) tried my cooking together for the first time.

Uh, apparently grits with cheese and shrimp blew their minds, as The Master is a yankee and never had grits before. Actually, Liebling's family is from Louisiana but hir Mama wasn't a big southern-cooking fan.

And then they were faced with dessert. A simple affair of peaches, blackberries, raspberries, bit o' mint, and whipped creme. I did a 'Magic Trick' to get the whipped creme and I think I broke their minds for a little bit there. Just take a mason jar, put in a little sweetener, fill it halfway with heavy whipping creme, and SHAKE. Ta-derp, fresh whipped creme.

So, uh, yay for me?

Re: Food that you love

My 8 year old daughter loves raw vegetables and fruit. If I turn my back for any period of time, she will plow through an entire basket of blueberries or whatever fruit might happen to be in the fridge. She will do the same thing with frozen corn or peas. Last night she opened a 16oz. bag of frozen peas, and before I knew what happened she had eaten them ALL, frozen, straight out of the bag.

Dang! It's like having a raccoon in the house!

Re: Food that you love

Oh Wondrous Daughter of Diesel Dan, I offer unto thee my share of the World's frozen peas. And Corn. And Brussels Sprouts. Quickly, Child, take them before Mum finds out. Do you happen to do bell peppers as well? You can have those, too. Please, Kind, take them from my sight and larder. I just cannot stand to be near them any longer, for they grow weary in my sight.

Alas.

Most all leafy greens ('cept for Collards, for some reason I don't like collards and we're not discussing the tragedy known as Iceburg Lettuce).
Green beans.
Garlic
Shallots
Only way I like corn is in either cornbread or grits.

...huh, turns out I don't actually eat much of a variety of veggies. I have eaten and will continue to eat so long as I have access to:

Pig Muscles
Cow Muscles
SHARK
Tuna
Chicken Muscles
Lamb Muscles
Mutton Muscles
ALLIGATOR TAIL and anything ELSE I can get my grubby paws on.
Tilapia
Snapper
SCALLOPS (that's tonight, actually)
Crustaceans (what a funny word)
I want to try Squid and Octopus again as I feel I'm missing out on something as an adult.

So long as it's nothing I'm allergic to (or any relation to HAGGIS as I don't do organ meats) then there's a pretty good chance I'll eat it. After all, Bottomless Pit, right here.

Watching you and your sister eat the calamari when you were little (1st grade) was pretty amusing.

I remember the restaurant. I remember Dad getting the plate of it. I don't recall eating or playing with it. Funny how memory works out.

You girls called them rubber bands! Chewing on the little tenticles... almost as funny as "I'm young, I'm foolish and I'm happy".

That was a really catchy song alright. I may had been exhausted but at least I remember that!

Re: Food that you love

I forgot about radishes. I really like them.

Let's talk about meat.

I like ham- Baked, boiled, fried.

Pastrami - on pumpernickel with mayonnaise

Hamburger - any way that you can imagine to use it. My mom used to make this stuff in a pan with hamburger,tomato sauce, corn, and peas, with mashed potatoes on top. It was very good.

Boudin - Black sausage made from pork and other things (it is also known as blood sausage). I know it may sound gross, but, it is very popular with the French Canadians. I am one of that tribe.

Ham Hocks - I make a real good meal with black eyed peas and ham hocks.

Italian sausage - Hot is the stuff I like.

Beef hot dogs - I like them with mayo on a bun

Pork chops - I love them

I must say that although I do like corned beef and steak, I cannot eat them because I have muscular dystrophy which makes it hard to swallow food. Occasionally I will partake in eating steak. However, I cut it into very little pieces.

Breakfast link sausages and patties - yum

Bacon - on anything or alone

Turkey - grilled, broiled, fried

Chicken - same as turkey

Deer meat - There are lots of hunters where I am. I have had many different parts of the deer meats. It is good.

Hard salami - great stuff

Goat - Yes it is weird. I have eaten goat. It was good

Rabbit - Yup, it tastes like chicken

Squirrel - tastes like chicken too


I have not eaten dog or cat, but I would try it.

Next, I will make a list of seafood.

I have been to many Philipino house parties where there was stuff that I never knew what it was. Also, when I was overseas in the military, I ate stuff that was unknown to me.

Re: Food that you love

Tonight we are having "Daddy Burgers" as the girls call them. Grilled hamburgers always taste best.

Tomorrow for Mom's Day, we are having a "tater-free" Snowcrab & Shrimp Boil with coleslaw. Vanilla ice cream with mixed berries on top for dessert.

I forgot to buy taters. But I do have the corn on the cob in the freezer.

Re: Food that you love

I went to the Chinese buffet last night. For $7.50, I filled my takeout plate. I ate some last night. Today I am parked in an RV park. It is only $25 a night. I have electricity.

I heated up yesterday's Chinese buffet. It was good.

Re: Food that you love

A simple recipe:

I made this one up. It sounds weird, but is quite tasty.

Dice three or four cloves of garlic. In a skillet, put a half stick of real butter. Heat it up just before it starts smoking.
Put in the garlic, and brown it.
Put in a can of corned beef hash.
Mix it while the mixture is is heating.
Take the can of peas that you have drained the liquid out of, and mix it into the pan.
Turn the heat on the stove off when you put in the peas.
The heat of the pan, and the coolness of the peas renders the final mix ready to eat immediately.
I like black pepper so I will put it on this mixture.

It really is yummy, but that is just my opinion.
Try it if you dare, and tell us if you liked it.

You need to leave a review of the campground... don't forget get to mention the good and low priced chinese buffet and directions to it from the campground.

I like to do my camground review topic title by state, city, then the name of the campground. It seems it would make it easier to locate the campgrounds that way.

Re: Food that you love

The Chinese buffet was walking distance from the Walmart in Sikeston, Mo.

The RV park was in Jackson, Tn. I do not remember the name, but it was 1/4 mile off the 412 highway.

Could the RV park that you stayed at in Jackson be called.... "Jackson RV Park"?
And the Chinese Restaurant was called.... "China Buffet"?

I do like the internet.
