A strange thing has happened.....

Y'all need to check the thread "Is tv destroying us?"

does food network count as TV???

Tonight I am making Grilled Tilapia with mango habanero BBQ sauce and cumin-lime green beans.....I love being off for the summer...I get to cook all the funn foods that I print out all year!
I can't wait to be in SoWal for the summer....dinner parties!!!!!

Mango, yummy.
I made Tilapia last night, but I cooked it with Chef Prudhommes Blackening magic, tossed it in angel hair with diced tomatoes, garlic, onions, mild peppers and a little olive oil. I hate Tilapia. :lie:
Enjoy!

If food network is destroying us...then I can't think of a more delicious way to go!
No Dune-ahhh not too many ingredients. When I went shopping yesterday...the check out guy swore I was a vegetarian...I bought so many veggies!
I'll cook for you when I am down there in July!!! (pork chops on the grill.....;-) )

for some reason my direct TV satellite will not pick up HGTV... But I can get the food network...so I have been watching food shows all week. I have printed at least 40 recipes....:roll:
Last night I cooked Spicy Asian BBQ chicken with Asian style slaw and took it over to Newfiegirl's house...it was really good!

You're ON gullfriend...I'll be holdin' ya to it !!
If TV kills me....I'll go w/ a smile on my face lickin' my chops !!!

Shoot!! RE: the thread is TV killing us....I grew up in the day when we only had 3 channels & it all came down to Lawrence Welk & Gunsmoke on Saturday nights and Bonanza on Sunday nights!! As kids, we thought Sunday nights were total "MAYHEM" cuz we got to watch Bonanza on TV while EATING on TV TRAYS while we sipped our ONCE weekly allotted (soda) pop (Pepsi) ...guess on Sunday nights my Dad got to be a kid too...he's the only man I've ever known that thinks POPCORN is an damned entree!!! That's what we had for SUPPER on Sunday nights (does anyone else remember the country difference b'tween supper & dinner PLUS the winter / summer nuances???!!!

OMG!! Did you grow up in my neighborhood? I sooooo remember all this!!!!

DD!!!! U must have grown up on a DAIRY FARM in KANSAS (or mebbe a W.Texas ranch?? )... MILES from your nearest neighbor??? I grew up SOOOO country...when we got out of school in the spring...we didn't see any other kids besides "our own selves" until school "re-commenced (a Grandpa term) after silo-fillin' .!!! Silo-fillin' time AKA 'round 'bout "Labor Day" give-er-take-a rain-er-2!!
But I just gotta know....did your parents also consider Oyster Soup (disgusting: hot milk w/ grody canned oysters & a pat of butter:sick: ) every Saturday night a Livin' Large after the depression TREAT??? BLICKK!!!

Do anybody cook Indian??? I LOVE Indian food ... Although I'm really a dyed in the wool carnivore...ooo-whee!!.....Indian....the only cuisine I could ever fathom going vegetarian with....the effects of the dry roasted spices ....YuMMM.

I want to learn about Indian clay pot cooking...I figure when I get too old to actually get on a plane & go to New Delhi...maybe I'll just be able to conjure it up in my kitchen!!!

India and Italy....aside from America these are my 2 favorite places in the world (so far).

Whose recipes are they? They really sound excellent. Ina and Giada are my favorites on FN, BTW.

I've got to start watching Food Network to get my summer cookin' on now that I don't have to work until September. (Beware BR...I have been watching it non stop and have printed at least 40 recipes...I see the show and rush to the computer to print... :roll: )

Allifunn--Emeril did that Mango/Habanero salsa, right? I think I heard this during a nap.

I have to say that Indian food is not my favorite...I prefer Thai for heat. In my experience (and it is limited I'll admit...I have only been to 2 Indian buffets) but the food all had the same taste, the same flavor and the same amount of heat. It all tasted bitter and very little flavor except heat. No nuiances of varing flavors at all....

same here ali. gimme thai. but, I think I've never had really good Indian, just the buffet stuff that was not very appealing. my BF LekintaAnn says there is a wonderful Indian restaurant in Tuscaloosa that she just loves.

I am always open for rethinking my culinary opinions! It probably was the buffet syndrome..too much of the same thing...cooked in bulk!

Next time y'all are in New York I'll take you to an Indian Restaurant, and you'll say Thai what?

West Texas when I was real little. Not a ranch, in town, but so much of what you said brought back a lot of memories!! Never had the Oyster Soup, but I did have to eat liver every week FOR SUPPER and every week I threw up afterward. My grandmother finally let me stop eating it when I was about 12.

My parents used to make us eat organ meats too (brain, tongue, heart...but LIVER is the WORST). Me & the Sibs used to have to sit at the table for HOURS passing around the ketchup bottle. We had one of those formica top tables w/ the tubular aluminum legs...my sister would shove little pieces of liver down those table legs! When Mom put a stop to stuffed table legs & finally forced Sis to eat the liver ... she promptly puked everywhere & we never had to eat it again. We were like "Dang Sis...couldn't you have blown your cookies like ... 5 YEARS AGO??"

Don't know winter/summer, but north of DeFuniak the supper/dinner aspect of meal timing often comes into play. In ShallowsFuzz's grandparents' home, dinner was the big meal of the day, and it was served at noon. High noon. Always at noon. Even on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Table legs!!! Too funny!!!

Yep! Dinner was the big meal at NOON! Supper was always simple & light...soup in the winter & veggies in the summer. Depending on what was ripening on any given week in summer... we might ONLY have mounds & mounds of corn on the cob for supper...or JUST tomatoes & bread.

When I started eating Dinner at night I got fat!!!

Yeah, no kiddin!!! We had tons of veggies from the garden. Loved fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. I used to be a vegetarian when I was a kid...pretty much. Used to order a hamburger (on the rare occasion I got to order one) without the meat. I was skinny as a rail When I started eatin' meat, I got fat. Well, havin' kids had a little to do with it--that and then menopause and alcohol!
