are these threads for real recipes? I hope so.

Maybe I can finally learn how to cook.

Yeah they are for real recipes! I think we can learn a lot from each other.

I was raised in a North East Puerto Rican / Italian / Irish household. Most meals were Italian based.

I'm looking to learn something new from you Southern and Midwestern gals...

well, to cook southern vegetables, just put the beans and some meat/fatback in the water and cook like hell.

Well one day maybe you can give me more details. I am dying to know how to cook things like 'fried green tomatoes'.

I am so bad...I order them every time they are on the menu -- cause I could imagine how to cook them from scratch.

I'm really not a cook. It is against the geneva convention for me to cook.

Well, as long as you microwave like a chef it's all good.

Good Morning, Key West

A brunch cocktail for those who don't care for champagne.

In a highball glass, over ice, a couple ounces of coconut rum, a couple ounces triple sec (eyeball it so it's about half-full), splash of lime juice and fill with Orangina. Garnish with slice of lime and paper umbrella if you want to be fancy.

wow. I get coconut rum cheap in Puerto Rico. Can I ask what Orangina is? Is it some brand of OJ? Or am I totally missing a unique liquor.
