Hey Tiger: brown rice is the way to go. If you can find Japanese rice (which is sticky when done), it goes beautifully with brown rice. I mix it half and half now. No gravies...just salted sesame seeds or other toppings. Keeps it low cal and healthy! As for the pie crust...I experiment with different things; from dried fruits to candies to nuts. It's all game in my desserts!!

Parker: that sounds ABSOLUTELY delicious. I just read off the recipe to my boyfriend. Guess who went out and bought cream cheese for me tonight. Guess that saying about "the way to a man's heart" is too true. Thank you!!! Now we just have to wait 5 days for our tostitos to arrive. Hahhaha. Thanks soooo much for the recipe. You, too, are very dear to all of us.

Cathaus: Oh my goodness...stay away from the HEAT!! I've got to come up with some dishes that we can make without injuring you. Years back I DREADED the kitchen...now you can't keep me out of it. (By the way, what were you making: I am staying away from that!!). Stay well...

Lanadan Ds3: when you mentioned black-eyed peas, I almost reached for a bag I brought back from a trip to the States! I LOVE them. Can't find them here unless you order from a foreign food store. I remember when my parents came for a visit years back...searched high and low for turnip and collard greens here. Couldn't find them...but we improvised with some Japanese greens that we found. Also VERY delicious. As for the second half of your post, my father eats goat meat (I can't even get past the milk). In Florida, we have seen our share of 'coons, possums and armadillos. We never chased any down for the fry pans, though. Just the thought would probably have had my mom throwing pots and pans at us. Now, gator...oh man. My mom didn't have a problem frying up a tail years back. (I told my little sister it was 'boneless chicken': she has yet to forgive me for that one!!). Anyway...thanks for your thoughts. That Jed Clampett part brought back the fondest of memories.

Stay blessed everybody!!

An' speaking of southern cooking!

Who can forget black-eyed peas with fat-back, turnip greens, and mama's fried chicken on Sunday. As ole' Jed Clampett would say, ". . . Um-m-m-m-m, doggies, now that's just plain fittin'!"

And, oh yes, don't forget about a young BBQ'ed goat, baked 'coon with a side-order of chitlins', possum and sweet taters, and that staple of southern cooking pride -- armadillo on the half-shell !!

Just kidding, or course. But, seriously, your entry was most enjoyable.

Bye ya'll!.

I have 3rd degree burns on my arm today from cooking Tuesday night. I have decided that I will never cook again! I have been trying to come up with a reasonable excuse to avoid cooking for the last 38 years! I think I finally found it. Boil the devil out of your right arm and voila--------------dining out for the rest of your life!

Hi Antsu.

I'm not very domestic but here is an simple and indulgent one,

16 oz of white lump crab meat
1 stick of butter
1 package of creme cheese
1 bunch of green onions chopped finely.
Season to taste with Tony Chacare's

Melt the butter and cream cheese add the crab and green onions.

It makes a wonderful warm dip. It's good cold too though.

It'll make you wish you grew up on the bayou in South Louisiana.

(I only give this recipe to my really good friends).

I love the recipe for the pie crust. Sounds like a dessert in itself. Love the blog too & your current picture! Don't cook much right now. Want to try brown rice recipes after I go to Granbury, Tx (south of Ft. Worth) in a couple of weeks.
