We eat a lot of mexican food such as enchiladas, tacos, tamales, chili rellanos, pinto beans(red beans) rice.
Then there is BBQ: beef, chicken, pork sered with potato salad, coleslaw, pinto beans.
Steak, baked potaoes, garden salad hot rolls.
Dessert: apple or pecan pies, banana pudding, carrot or german chocolate cakes, these are the standard desserts around here.
Last night I made chili ( texas style) Just beef, pinto beans, tomato sauce, onions, garlic and Jalepenos. We don't make our chili with vegetables like they do in the northern part of this country we call that stew or soup.
Hope all has a good day and Scooter hope your driver wins the last race today. Mr. Rdee what a clever idea I like learning about different cultures.
Thanks Granny. I really enjoyed that message and yes, I agree, learning a little about different cultures from real, ordinary everyday people, just like me, it what makes the Internet worthwhile.
We have our versions of enchiladas, but I'm not sure how authentic they are. Salsa, sour cream and stuff. We enjoy both pasta and rice, and, of course, pizza, but that is international :-)
We love BBQs in the garden, but I guess our summer is not long or warm enough to have as many as we might like. A warm summer evening, BBQ going, bottle of chilled white South Afrian wine ...
Mrs RD says to tell you that I'm a wimp, because I cannot cope with hot food. 'Tis true. I do love mild spicy food though, if that makes any sense. We have enjoyed Mrs RD's home made Thai, Chinese and Indian food recently, but perhaps not as hot as Mrs RD would really like :-)
I'm sorry your a wimp Mr R, we like it hot and spicey here. We use a lot of green and red chili peppers you can get them in mild medium, hot or extra hot and don't forget the jalepenos. The preferred drink with BBQ here is beer. Hope you and the Mrs. have a great Sunday.

I live in Ohio, but am from Kentucky, so most of my cooking is "hillbilly"!!LOL
Typical suppers at my house:
Ham & Beans (mix of pinto & gr. northern), fried potatoes and cornbread.
Porkloin roast with sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and cornbread.
BBQ ribs (so tender, you need a spoon)Cheesy potatoes, baked bean with wienies, macaroni salad and biscuits.
Fried Chicken, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans with ham bits (or bacon bits), potato salad or 7 layer salad.
My favorite meals are in the summer when the garden vegetables are ready.
We have baked ham, green beans, roasted baby potatoes, green onions, fried zuchini and squash, cucumber/onion in salted vinegar water and cornbread.
Wilted lettuce and green onions with a bacon and vinegar mixture boiled and used as dressing. fried potatoes and cornbread.
When tomatoes are ripe, we have sliced tomatoes with every meal from breakfast until supper.
My famous desserts are banana pudding, pig cake, peanut butter cake, Texas sheet cake, apple pie with vanilla ice cream, cherry or blueberry cheesecake, strawberry shortcake. During the holidays, all kinds of cookies, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, pecan pie, chocolate and peanut butter fudge, peanut brittle, choc covered cherries, and on ..........
It was hard to copy one of my Mom's specialties because she never used a recipe. My sister and I were always asking how much is a "little bit", a "pinch", a "spoonful", etc. You just had to stay there with her and watch every move she made and take notes to get it right and practice a lot!!

Mr Dee, I see you now know what a goeduck looks like. LOL After you take them out of the shell and skin the neck, it is all while meat like a scallop. They are very tasty. Chowder is, diced clam, onions and potatos cooked until almost done and then add milk. It's a thick soup. Always served in resturants on Fridays here in the states. My hubby just said if he could he would send you a couple packed in dry ice during the season. You can only get them certain times of the year, the same with razor clams. The little foot on the razor clam is called a "digger". That's why you have to be quick, because the minute they feel you digging they take off for China. Down they go and you don't get them then. LLC I noticed in your pictures, most of the people were using whats called a "clam gun", it's a round tube. I haven't had luck with those, I use a little clam shovel. Short handle and long narrower blade than a regular shovel. Thanks for the pictures, they did a nice job of showing them and the process. Please tell Riverdee that after they are cleaned they don't look like that. They are all nice white meat. LLC They are really very good.

Scooter could you send me some chowder? We don't have fresh seafood in the desert and I love it.

Oh I forgot to tell you about Sea Cucumbers. They are not a veggie. They are kinda ugly too but they are good. You split them lengthwise and they have four strips of white meat in them. Peel that out and saute in butter. We use to get them when we went Scuba diving for scallops. The only problem with them is that it takes a blue million for a meal. But they are yummy but ugly too. LOL
We have Dungeness Crab, so good. We use to go crabbing off the docks on the coast all the time, not so much anymore.

Thank you :-)
The BBQ ribs sound divine. Mrs RD is not a huge fan, but I love 'em the way the Cinese restaurants do 'em, so that you don't need to do more than look at them, and the meat falls off the bone.
Hillbilly cooking sounds good to me :-)

Hmm, yes. We do not put vegetables in chilli. I bet yours is hotter than ours, though. One Jalepeno would last me a lifetime :-)
