Alabama

The Yellowhammer State is a Deep South state situated along the Gulf of Mexico between Mississippi and Georgia. It is sometimes called “the Heart of Dixie.” The stars of Southern cooking shine on Alabama. Ribs, sweet potato pie, fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, catfish, hush puppies, sweet tea, fried pies, pralines, oysters, shrimp, and chicken and dumplings are just a sampling of the down-home cooking you’ll find in the Heart of Dixie. The pecan is the official nut of Alabama. The blackberry is the official fruit, but the peach also receives recognition as the official “tree fruit.” Honey is a big product. Alabama ranks second in the nation in farmed catfish production. But the largemouth bass is the state’s official fresh-water fish.

Authentic Chinese Egg Rolls (from a Chinese person)

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by Heather

This is not really a review. I just wanted to know how the Chinese people got MSG 300 years ago.

Famous Butter Chicken

Reviewed on Oct. 10, 2008 by lace

This recipe is Awesome!! Probably one of my new favorite chicken recipes and so easy to make! The one cup of cracker crumbs was just enough for 3 really large boneless chicken breasts. I also figured out is was easier to put the crumbs on a plate rather than in a bowl to dredge. I'm already looking forward to the leftovers tonight!!
