Since I love to cook I am also very greatful for my diversity I have been exposed to...I almost never create a traditional meal of anything. Tomorrow, I am making for my mother and my grandpa, visiting from Indiana (my home) a Corned Beef Roast, to accompany a warm spinache salad and an all time Texas favirot Beer Bread! I have So much fun mixing cultures, flavors, ethnicities, etc.!! IP: Logged |

Hippi, that sounds delicious! How do you make the Texas Beer Bread? I haven't heard of that before. Will you post the recipe, please? I love exploring different ethnic cuisines too. I went to an Ethiopian restaurant recently and was very surprised to discover what they served. My partner swore by the food and it was good but it was totally something I have cooked before sans some of the hot spices! Very educational experience. They serve you this big dish with a flat bread on the bottom, called injera, and there are various cooked legumes on top: they had split yellow peas, brown lentils, some spicy sauce, ground beef with sauce, and goat stew. OK, I cannot make goat stew or the bread but everything else seemed doable!  IP: Logged |

Hi YinBeer bread is the easiest, yummiest thing ever! One can/bottle (12) oz light beer (tho I used full beer yesterday and it gives it more flavor and body. 3 cups self rising flour (a must to use self rising), 3 tbs sugar. 350 for 50-60 minutes. Take out about 3/4 way done and top with butter or olive oil to give it a nice lighly brown texture... Voila!!! Your pic looks so yummy!!! Never had that type of cuisine, but boy if I ever have the opportunity!!! IP: Logged |

Yin, I discovered the most amazing thing!!!I was standing in line the grocers and picked up a little Irish cookbook. On the front were cheese bisquits with ham. Lightbulb!!! So, I came home, made my beer bread, added garlic and shreaded cheddar cheese, baked them in muffin tins...then fried up some Canadian bacon and made little sandwiches... YUM!!! IP: Logged |
