I ran out of butter a while back and used margarine to make my french toast.  Bastard!  That stuff is 90% water... it evaporated as soon as it hit the griddle and my french toast stuck like the dry Sahara.  I was pissed... almost ruined my french toast, but I managed to make it work, dammit.

Oh boy.  I took the pot out of the oven to stir it... smelled like heaven.

I NEVER use green and/ or red bell peppers in my chili. That's too damned "Yankee-ish".

I like a little cheese on top and perhaps some sour cream.


As far as biscuits, I've discovered a good biscuit mix. It's better than Bisquick (and cheaper) and they don't turn out like hockey pucks.

Me neither. I made some the other night and put chopped green chilis and jalapenos in it.

I do confess to using "petite dice" canned tomatoes.

I also add Rotel.

Lots of chili powder, some cumin, some Emeril's, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper.

you beat me to it!

I found Rotel for chili and that was what I used. I had never seen it before, and used 3 cans to 4.75lb of ground chuck and 2 huge Vidalia onions.

I usually use regular Rotel, but I will use the chili one again.

i definitely prefer Pioneeer to Bisquick. I wonder what food y'all have up there that we can't really get down here. I thought Ro-Tel was everywhere. Same with Pioneer.

Pioneer wasn't available in MN when I lived there. I don't recall seeing Rotel, either, except in some Mexican grocery stores.

9 pages of back post? I'll have to read them all before I post more, but let me say , I live on the Border and chili is a staple, it's served to me at least once a week in some incarnation.

I never have. I have only lived in MS, but I just assumed that RoTel was in all stores. That is shameful that it isn't.

I mean even just the easy as pie rotel and velveeta dip?? You can't just whoop some up quickly? That sucks. I don't even like the stuff, but we have to have rotel dip (for my husband) at least once a month. And sometimes we add taco seasoned beef to it. That does make it better.

The furthest north I ever lived was in my very young childhood.  (except for 6 months of my adult life I spent in KCMO)  Prior to Texas, moved here in 7th grade, I lived in Germany (Bitburg) Topeka (Forbes) St. Louis (Scott) NOVA (Andrews/Quantico/Pentagon) then I went to Ft. Lauderdale, before I got to eTexas.  I also spent every summer on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  I have traveled to all 48, minus 4, but I never checked to see if the stores carried Rotel.

You've been to a lot of places. Unfortunately, I've only really travelled the southern half of the country. I have been to NY, D.C., PA, Virginia (that isn't southern lol) West Virginia (again, not southern), and Maryland (definitely NOT southern). I am really missing out on some lovely places. I have to travel more.

Aside from my Dad and StepDad relocating, my Grandparents were key in showing me different places.  We took a road trip from Gulfport, MS to Banff Canada one summer.  I hit a lot of states that year.
