Maybe they were black beans. Not sure. They were yummy!!


Have you ever used Sazon? I can buy it in the Goya section, but it always has MSG in it.

Daisy Martinez on Daisy Cooks makes her own, but I can't find some of the ingredients she used.

Plantains.... yummmmmmmmm!! I've had them the way they make them in Ghana, Jamaica/Caribbean, and Puerto Rico. I prefer them sweet, and fried, to the spicy and kinda hard.

O.K.!

Pegao, literally translated, means "stuck to". Anne B would call it "CRUD".

Sazon-Seen it but never have tried it. On the next shopping trip.

I posted about TAJIN, a fruit seasoning that is really good....On the 'net they wanted 4.95 for a bottle that I paid 1.18 for at the store....that was w/o S&H!

Plaintains are called "machos" whole or "tostones" when flattened and fried-Tostone is a kind of coin.

I am not a fan of the fried bee-nanners! I think it's the starch.

[jennielynn1970]

I've seen the tostones made, but they were fried twice I think. The one guy I dated made them fried w/out flattening them and served them with a lot of the African stews he made. They were normally really really hot and spicy.

I prefer the plantains to be over ripe, and then sliced and fried, so that they are really soft and sweet when done.

My favorite kind of banana dish is when it's dipped in a light batter, deep fried, drizzled with a little honey, and topped with vanilla icecream.

I am going to kick my T.V. screen in before too long.

Are people on the FNC STOOPID?

I passed by the Grilling with Booby Flake offering.

He had two guys on that were making some kind of BBQ food.

They prepped the meat and went to put it on a Weber Kettle BBQ-the round model on the stilts........

They took the top off and put it on the floor so they could place the meat on the grill.

If you have half a brain, two licks of sense and a pair of eyes they would know that the model they used has a hook welded inside the dome so the top can be hung on the edge of the grill....the top of the BBQ should never be put on the ground!

This amazes me everytime I see someone do that!!!

I'll look out for the deep fried bananas at the fair this year!

I love dumb people.


Where does olive oil come from?

How do you get olive oil?

Are olives edible?

PBS has a series called Globetrekker. They make programs on traveling to different countries. Last night they did a special food episode with some chefs as the hosts of each segment.

The first was Padma from Top Chef, She cooked this paella in Spain. The next segment was Tyler Florence visiting Italy. He went to an olive farm to harvest olives and to help make olive oil.

He's with the owner of the farm and talking about the process when the man tells TF that he should taste a fresh olive, right from the tree.

I just about wet my pants.

He takes the olive, pops it onto his mouth and starts to chew.

Who doesn't know that raw olives are not edible?

Here's a hint. He got the ULTIMATE surprise when he bit into a 'fresh olive'.

Is that the two guys that grilled lettuce? After I saw that, I left the room. Tooooooo much!!

Yep,
Typical Cah Lee fuh nee ahns - if it don't fall through the grill, you can BBQ it.

Here's another thing to watch for - Theme days.

They start with a veggie/meat and carry it through to all the programs on that day.

I noticed this a few weeks ago when I was surfing the tube. I passed a show in the morning before I went out and the p.m. shows had the same ingredient.

I have a crush on Alton Brown, especially after he did the show where he traveled around on the motorcycle.....
