Hi Southern Yankee...



Rice

The rice is nearly always plain white rice or parboiled rice, steamed or boiled with only salt. The rice used with gumbo is a long-grained rice that sticks well to itself and does not disperse in the gumbo.

The ratio of soup to rice is also a point of contention. Some prefer "damp rice" and some only add a minimal amount of rice to a bowl of broth. This is strictly personal taste.

Traditional side dishes include potato salad, fresh New Orleans style french bread, crackers, or baked sweet potatoes. Many Cajuns add potato salad to their gumbo and eat it with or without rice.

And your kids don't make a fuss about your food? Mine would probs eat the chicken but nothing else. So picky.

your joking, my kids hardly ever eat what we eat, so damn fussy and im too soft and cook 3 different meals most nights. Hubs works late so we eat around 7pm. Kids eat at 5pm, they had bbq sausages and scrambled eggs with spagetti hoops ( in tommy sauce)...

Opps I should also mention at this time that we will be having the chicken dish tomorrow now as hubs is still working ( needs must when u have your own business) so hes picking up an Indian takeaway on his way home:D

I used to do that when the bigger ones were little. Sometimes I still do it when nothings been planned for dinner, like a Friday night. They get pizza and I make something else for me & hubs. Quin eats everything on his plate except potatoes. Always teasing him "you're Irish and you don't like potatoes"?

thin pork chops. haven't decided what to do with them. Anyone have any ideas??

I have given up on pork chops except the boneless ones. Look at foodnetwork.com for some ideas or allrecipes.com

Tuna melts with bacon & cheese and a side salad.

Chicken & biscuits, stuffing and applesauce.

Tomorrow I'm making chicken with creamy herb sauce, peas, etc. in the crockpot.
