Oklahoma

Shaped something like a meat cleaver poised above Texas, the Sooner State was homesteaded in a novel way. In 1889, a land rush opened up Oklahoma Country (the so-called Unassigned Lands) to homesteading. Not everyone played by the rules. Some snuck across the starting line before the signal was given. These cheaters came to be called “Sooners.” After Oklahoma became a state in 1907, this pejorative became a term of waggish self-regard for unabashed Oklahomans. The name Oklahoma is a combination of two Choctaw words “okla,” which means “people,” and homma, which means “red.” In the Choctaw language, Oklahoma Territory meant “Indian Territory.” Oklahoma is the only state in the Union that has an official state meal. It’s quite a spread, a comprehensive tour of southern specialties, consisting of barbecue pork, biscuits with sausage and gravy, chicken fried steak, cornbread, black-eyed peas, grits, corn, fried okra, squash, strawberries, and pecan pie.

No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies II

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by ILove2Ck
These are like the ones we use to get in the school cafeteria when I was a kid. I made these for my son who loves no bake cookies and he went wild over these! I even tasted one and liked these alot better than the ones that call for rolled oats. Nice and crispy with the cereal. These are a soft set type cookie. The directions were a bit misleading though, so I heated the sugar over med heat until it came to a full boil, then boiled it for 1 minute before adding the vanilla and the peanut butter. Thank you, we enjoyed your grandma's cookies too!

Peanut Butter Cookies IV

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by ILove2Ck
Rich peanut buttery cookie. Very tasty. These melt in your mouth. They didn't roll well in the sugar though, it was easier to do them the traditional way of dipping the fork tines in the sugar. I got 34 cookies from this.

Sweet and Sour Chicken I

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by italianmomof3
This was pretty good. I liked the way the chicken was crunchy on the outside but stayed moist on the inside. I have come to a conclusion though that I just can't make chines like the local take out. I think that I will just stick with that and use it for those nights I dont want to cook.
