Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ewww midwest...no way! I'm looking more towards Pacific Northwest, like Oregon.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I live in Adelaide, South Australia. Well not so much ‘in’ Adelaide, I live just out of the Barossa Valley. Summers are hot and dry, winters are (should be) wet but mild. Perfect grape growing weather. BUT. All of southern Australia is going through the worst drought in living memory. Last winter it rained twice, lol. Do you want to trade that?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ok....which one of you are going to send me a recipe for cornbread now? We had tacos for dinner and with all this talk of tex-mex i'm dying for some awesome corn bread and chili! I'll trade you all a kick-butt crab cake recipe for an awesome corn bread recipe...any takers? Just to keep this on topic I was curious at how good of cooks your mother's are....my mother has always been a HORRIBLE cook! She can't even make the macaroni and cheese that comes in a box...she refuses to take the time to read directions. She cooks everything at the same temperature and for the same amount of time....475 degrees for an hour. Seriously...my cousin is a chef and he could only come up with a couple things that you bake at that high of a temperature. (And they were all things that she can't pronounce...but she can't even say whopper so that's not a stretch...she says whomper) It's amazing that I can cook at all....I guess between my southern roots(Not to brag, but I make the best sausage gravy and sweet tea this side of the Mississippi and I have the blue ribbons to prove it...lol) and my Italian roots I was able to compensate! (This little oriental lady that we go to church with has kicked my butt in the Italian category several years running....i don't even try anymore...she is fabulous!) sleddog wrote: .I'm in the Texas hill country. Yee ha. Our reputation isn't entirely true. I don't carry a >gun or ride a horse regularly lol!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 My mother was an okay cook, but she really taught me almost nothing about it, because my mere presence was such a horrible thing for her. She did teach me how to stone an avocado. She didn't have the patience to wait for me to do something right, which I apparently couldn't do. And then after years of almost no teaching, at 11, she told me to cook some fish up for dinner. She was in a bad mood and she turned to me with this attitude like " why in the hell aren't YOU making my life easier??? " She tossed this fresh fish that was in a styrofoam container and told me to cook it and I said I didn't know how. She yelled " what are you ????? STUPID???? " and stomped out, and I think she laughed too. And apologies? Fuhgeddaboutit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my nada is a terrible cook..but she can bake any dessert known to mankind...guess thats why she is always 250-300+ pounds...I learned to cook on my own...and whenever my parents would come to visit, she'd always critize how I cooked...and would tell me I can't cook a pot roast on top of the stove..I felt so sorry for my dad..I made fried catfish with cracker coating and basil, and he loved it..and said so...and nada shot him a glare that could kill ! My pot roast is always tender and tasty...nadas was always like eating shoe leather...poor dad always compliments my cooking, and gets himself in deep trouble Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hello all. I am in Southern Indiana. Nothing special, just HOT! We could probably all use a vacation, somewhere tropical, warm with a cool breeze blowing off the ocean. A margarita it one hand (or for those of you who may not drink - a fruit smoothie or something), and sun screen in the other. The best part, no nadas or fadas able to to contact us. Hmmmm... That sounds so nice. Okay, fantasy over. Anyway have a good day. B --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible " new car " smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo! Autos.

My mother was an absolutely wonderful cook. Only problem was she was obsessed with it and with food. It was her one and only interest and talent in life. She pursued no other hobbies.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I live in San Francisco. I'm originally from Michigan, but did a stint in Florida as well. (Go Gators.) Overall, I've found my home in SF and would never move back. It helps that my Nada is back on the other coast. The weather here is great, except for rainy season. I have a great view of Alcatraz on my way to work, and can hear the trolly cars and the boats on the bay from my office window. Oh- and I don't own a car. I don't even know what gas prices have gotten to. I love that there is always something happening here, and that I can walk to three different coffee shops from my apartment. We have street festivals during the spring and summer, ranging from the Beer and Oyster Festival to the Filmore Jazz Festival. In my opinion, there's no better city in the world to live.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 We did a stint back in Florida too. Go Noles- LOL. My dh graduated from FSU and I'm UCF so I'm a bit more neutral. But it gets hot and heavy in dh's family during the football season. His older three siblings also went to UF. Can't believe last year for Christmas they sent dh a Noles keychain and me a Gators one! They're too much. I've heard San Fran is beautiful. Want to get out there sometime. As it is now, heading towards Vancouver for summer break. Not sure about that one. It is good to live far from Nada isn't it? While I'm not on the other coast like you, I'm in Texas, I do know how liberating it feels that the only way she can drop by is to take a plane- 1100 miles- woohoo! Got an uncle who lives in Alaska though and there are times he's threatened to move to China to get away from Grandnada. > > I live in San Francisco.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 When I was little, my mother hosted huge dinner parties and I think she was an ok cook. But she hated cooking for us, and was very very resentful. My father made all of our meals, and did all of the shopping. When she cooked dinner, it woudl be because she wanted/liked a particualr dish and she woudl make that same dish, over and over again. She too tends to cook everything at a very high heat. She is frightened of food poisoning, though her hygiene practices would seem to eblie this. > > > > >Just to keep this on topic I was curious at how good of cooks your > mother's > > >are....my >mother has always been a HORRIBLE cook! > > My mother was an absolutely wonderful cook.
