I don't know nothing about baking a bread. :disagree:

Well, you could buy a pre-made bread/baguette and coat it with your own garlic butter, I suppose.

Hmmm.... now I feel like making muffins! :yummy:

Garlic bread is nice. It is pretty good as the bread of my burgers, too.

I've read in a magazine article that (rough quote follows) "Due to the miniscule amounts of food they could obtain some 20 years ago, Romanians began eating like pigs after their living conditions improved considerably, and that this applies both to the quantity of food and the manner in which they consume it. "

Interesting, even if it's insulting and seems like a sweeping statement, so there's your answer I suppose. ;)

Oh and Kalah, you may be the better baker, but my soups and stews are known far and wide as peerless. Well, they're known throughout my apartment, at least!

Is that a challenge? You haven't tasted proper soup until you've had a taste of my fish soup :)

Well, since you and Kalah are so baking savvy, the two of you can battle it out for the coveted position of being my sou chef. Image

I just bake cookies... and Banana bread... and now I make killer truffles.

I also do amazing 'Southern' cooking like fried ocra, pinto beans, cornbread, pan fried pork chops, collard greens... I just never learned to make biscuits, which I seriously regret.

Mmm southern cooking, I've learned of it through the books of Fannie Flagg, the very thought of it makes me drool. Fried green tomatoes, yum yum.

They are actually pretty good. Sort of Tart. Like ocra, you just wash 'em, slice 'em, dip 'em in corn meal and toss 'em in an iron skillet with about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep shortening in it... flip 'em over once and take 'em up. If you like a lot of batter, you can dip the slices in a mix of egg, water and salt before rolling the slices in the corn meal.

The thing about Southern cooking is that none of it is fancy. Nothing ever has a lot of ingredients. Most things include lard or shortening of some sort pig fat. Even if it's not fried, the fat is still hiding in there. Biscuits MUST be made with lard and buttermilk. Pinto Beans are inedible if they don't have a chunk of fat back or streak of lean tossed in. Collards are better with a little bacon & onion. And the iron skillet is part of it. It actually ads to the flavor of whatever is cooked in it.

The thing that people don't realize is that Southern people were poor, dirt farmers. Our 'cuisine' is based on food that can be grown easily on the farm, Corn, Ocra, Greens, Beans, Tomatoes, Potatoes & Onions produce a lot of edible food on small bits of land that does not have to be very fertile. Chicken & Pigs are cheap to raise because they'll eat anything. Farm work is difficult and requires a lot of energy... which we got from eating those pigs and using their fat to flavor everything else.

It might be just me, but the term "pig fat" just doesn't sound like it goes into a great dish .... :D

True... but let's face it. Bacon is nothing but 'pig fat'. It's still YUMMY!
