I ride bikes. I like going to the beach. I love fish. I have never been fishing in my life. I've never been to the south. My kids only like mac & cheese. I have a dog named Dennis.
I have three dogs. I am in Iowa. I like to cook southern comfort food. I've visited the gulf coast in texas on vacation. I visited Alabama with my grandmother. My grandmother grew up in Alabama. I don't typically like seafood. I like shrimp. I've been to the Texas state aquarium.
I was wondering if you could share one of your easier southern comfort style food recipes? I'm going to cook something different tonight! The easiest thing I think of is fried chicken with gravy, mac n cheese, and fried okra. Darn it, is delicious. the breading of the chicken can be combined with any type of spices, I like my chicken to be more spicy, the okra can be a bit tricky but they have bags of okra in the frozen isle, bread them and fried them. add some sweet tea and you got yourself a southern meal.  That sounds absolutely delicious! Where did you learn to do cook like that?  Before living in Iowa I lived the majority of my life in Texas and Louisiana. you would think that living on the coast I would like fish but I just cant.. how do you prepare and eat your fish. I like shrimp-- breaded though, lol. You're definitely missing out, fish is a fantastic meal, although I've never caught any myself. I like to prepare it quite simply, steaming it with some herbs and soy sauce is the way to bring out the best flavour. Fish is so tricky to me. steam fish? sounds interesting and with soy sauce? Do I add the soy sauce before adding it to the oven? Do I rub it in? I lOVE SOY SAUCE! I have a traditional japanese steamer, just put some foil down in the steamer and a few ml of sauce to go with it. The dog love the fish scraps too! Do you have any dog(s)? I will have to invest a Japanese steamer. I am now remembering that I have had fish in a soup, with dill vegetables, its served with white rice. The dish is called Fish swimming in pickles. Delicious! I think thats the only way I can have fish. I will definitely try out your recipe. do you add anything else? Yes, I have 3 puppies, they are my everything and eat everything! How is your dog dennis doing?  That sounds amazing, I'll have to try it sometime. I love puppies, I can remember when dennis was younger. He's getting a little old and gray now, still had al ot of life in him though!  I bet dennis enjoys walking on the beach! I want to take my puppies but they are WILD! I need to train them before making and committing to that trip. He does! We go most days, I bet they had great beaches in the south? They do, but our waters are Brown!!! we have the Mississippi river that drains into our beaches making the sediment settle in the beaches washing onto our shores making our beach waters brown, inserting crying face, lol. I want to go to Fiji or Greece, can you image those beaches? heaven on earth!
