I'm taking a huge risk here. I've offended the Marguerite Patten minions with my satirical approach to the recipe cards. Now, I am taking the big leap of faith, risking it all, perhaps preparing myself to be publically shunned. Maybe my birthday will be taken from me after I do what I am about to do.
Exhale..I am about to write a blog entry making fun of Texas via the book, The Great Southwest, part of the Southern Living book set from 1972.
Maybe I need to change my identity. After all, how dare I move my yankee ass down to Texas with assumptions and a closed mind. How dare I still have Wisconsin license plates and still maintain a Wisconsin voter registration. HOW DARE I? Who am I to poke sillies at the Texas culinary world when my own palate has experienced Whataburger, Taco Cabana, or Henry's Puffy Tacos. I thought I was supposed to be far, far, far away from here this summer but the US Navy decided my husband needed to spend another year here (frowny face).
I don't hate Texas. I like it here. I do hate the fact Little Caesar's is the only decent pizza I can find around here.
So Texans, if I offend you, whatever. There are far more vile things said about the people in your state and the state itself than what I can put in this blog entry.
Okay, I am going to keep watch on my door and prepare for the mobs of people, bearing their torches and pitchforks. Have a nice night y'all (ugh did I really do that? I didn't mean it. They can tell I'm not from around there because I say "you all")

The Southwestern Cookbook, Southern Living, 1972. Darkened in secret that all I see is a bloody turd looking up at me, compelling me to really want to open this book. |

Maybe this should be on the front. The title. Or is that too much work? Labeling that bloody omelet seems to be too much work. |

Long tall Texans need to put their cowboy hat down for a second and not be such a pompous prick because he has to eat salads and appetizers. |

Spring Salmon Salad. I bet this was a good idea until someone decided to dump a can of salmon on top of it and drizzle it with mayonnaise and sour cream. |

Cocktail Tacos with stuffed olives. Yes they are there. Look past the creamy stuff that has no recipe in this book. Aren't they so widdle and cute? |

Fiesta Day Shrimp Pot. It's almost Fiesta time here in great San Antonio. I'm going to have to look for this shrimp pot. Somehow I have an inkling feeling I will not find it. |

When I see a steamy pan of plump peas and little white onions ,my first thoughts are usually how to dress it up too. Maybe throw an iceberg lettuce leaf on top. Genius! |

1/2 tsp of Mexican spices used in this recipe for Mexican Meatball skillet does not a Mexican dish make. Especially when the meatballs are canned meatballs. |

Hot Monterrey Salad. It's got a lot everything and a little bit of nothing, but darn it, there are corn chips lining it. |
The best thing I have read in a long time. You have such a way with words.
