Chocolate Pecan Pie. Why am I just finding out about this? Beats the hell out of me, considering how far south of me you are. Did you try some? Actually bake some? |

Chocolate Pecan Pie. Why am I just finding out about this? Beats the hell out of me, considering how far south of me you are. Did you try some? Actually bake some? We apparently sell them at holidays (like Thanksgiving and/or Easter), so the deli had one in a broken box behind their counter that they let me sample. As much as I love chocolate and as much as I love pecan, I still had my doubts about the idea of mixing the two. Doubts were quickly dispelled with the first taste.

There's a middle eastern takeout chain here called Naya, and they have a roasted cauliflower wrap that is so good, I have been craving it. It's roasted in turmeric and a lemony middle eastern spice blend called Zaa'tar, and then they load it up with fresh and pickled vegetables and all kinds of other things. The cauliflower isn't hard like when it's raw, but it's still crunchy. Eating more vegetarian meals could be so easy if I could find more stuff like this.

We generally go out whenever I'm there, and the only times we haven't, my brother has cooked. |

Well, as near as I can tell they think mayo is a vegetable and everything they fix looks like a cheese-and-ejaculate casserole jazzed up with slices of zucchini. Even the stuff they order in restaurants would gag a maggot. |

That does not comport with any of the vegetarian food I've eaten in restaurants or that I've had cooked for me by others in the past, but then, I've never been to Michigan. |

Well I suggest you avoid Ann Arbor at all costs. |

Seems like solid advice all around.

Meanwhile, I stumbled across half a maple-brown-sugar-and-crabapple pie at Kroger's on Sunday. OMG was it good. I am deeply suspicious of the apples because they are much, much too large to be crabs but they're also much more tart than any Granny Smith. I mentioned this find at team meeting and Rick said without looking up from his table that "it sounds like something you'd serve with possum." But you know how Rick is. |

I just made some badass goulash:
One and a third pounds of chuck eye steak, cut into somewhat bigger than bite-sized chunks
One Vidalia onion, diced
Four largish cloves of garlic, minced
One 12-ounce can of tomato paste
Two cups water
Several vigorous shakes each of hot Hungarian paprika, sweet Hungarian paprika, smoked paprika, and ordinary non-adjectival paprika
Put the whole thing in the slow cooker on "Low" for eight hours or so.
Serve over egg noodles with a dollop of sour cream.

Question, since you're a Midwesterner: when you hear "goulash," do you think "chili on pasta?" Because this was an attempt to emulate the original Central European dish, which is a whole 'nother thing altogether. |

I only ever had goulash as a kid in Maryland. I think it's forbidden down here or something.

Because this was an attempt to emulate the original Central European dish, which is a whole 'nother thing altogether. Not at all. Picture the 50s can-opener gourmet version: ground beef with lots of those little hard nubbins of cartilage in it, browned with chopped bell peppers and onions and stirred with a can of those crushed tomatoes that look and feel like blood clots squirting between your teeth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add soggy, overcooked elbow macaroni before serving. |

The most recent exchange has me thinking about what North American regional cuisines I actually have and have not been exposed to: Piedmont South: Yes, born in the Virginia end of it... Maryland and Mid-Atlantic: Sortakinda Long Island, NYC, Tri-State: Yes --this IS, in fact, a regional cuisine, though it sort of smoodges outwards from NYC in the center. And I was never terribly fond of the SW CT variation...
New England (inland): Yes
New England (coastal): Yes
Texas (Hill Country): Yes
Texas (Borderlands): Yes --sometimes called "Tex Mex" but that's not really what it is. You get "Tex Mex" more towards the coast, around Houston. This is 35-Corridor, Tejano/Frontera cuisine
Sonora (Mexico and Arizona): Yes...you'll have to tear my wheat-flour tortillas away from my cold, dead, hands...
Southern Utah (Mormon cuisine): Sortakinda --my Bob that's a lot of Jell-O
Mexico City: Yes
Chicago: Sortakinda --didn't date Ms. __. long enough. Good pizza, though.
St. Louis: Sortakinda
Indianapolis: Sortakinda
Michigan (Metro Detroit --so not quite as cheese-based): Yes
Nashville: Sortakinda
Los Angeles (Anglo): Sortakinda Los Angeles (Chicano): Yes, definitely...mi gusto mucho
Baja: Sortakinda
Pacific Northwest: Sortakinda
