North Carolina

One of the original Thirteen Colonies, the Tar Heel State squeezes itself between Virginia and South Carolina on the Atlantic Seaboard. The nickname “Tar Heel” harkens back to colonial times when North Carolina was a major exporter of tar, pitch, and turpentine. Modern North Carolinians have good naturedly turned what was initially a pejorative into a welcome, unpretentious nickname. No state in the Union produces more sweet potatoes than North Carolina. They are the official state vegetable. The official berries are strawberry and blueberry, but the overall state fruit nod goes to the Scuppernong grape. In a region known for barbecue, North Carolina stands out. Here in the “Cradle of ’Cue,” barbecue fanatics can follow a Barbecue Trail that hits 25 of the state’s most important barbecue joints. If you're eating barbeque in the Carolinas, chances are pretty good that you're enjoying pulled pork shoulder, cooked long and low over flavor-forging wood smoke.

Toad In a Hole

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by happyschmoopies
I grew up eating this as "eggs in a nest". My husband had "gasp" NEVER had it! I did flip it after a cooking a few minutes on one side like others did before adding the cheese. My husband likes his eggs over medium and this way you can get the egg white cooked, but, still leave the yolk "runny". Definitely a keeper. This is also a great recipe to make if you have a crowd. You can just pull out your griddle and line them up!

BLT Pasta Salad

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by Marialois
Only OK. Not sure if I didn't use a "good" ranch dressing (I used Wishbone) or if it was something else. Just really bland and not worth the calories.

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by Marialois
These were easy and good. I did not knead the dough, and I brushed tops with butter before AND after baking. They weren't the flaky kind of biscuit, but they were excellent anyway.
