Minnesota

The North Star State is wedged between the Dakotas and Wisconsin, directly above Iowa. Minnesota shares a long border with Canada and is touched on to the northeast by Lake Superior. More than half of Minnesota’s population live in the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, leaving much of the state open to agriculture, prairie land, forests, and of course many, many lakes. In a land of 10,000 lakes, you can be sure that fishing is a major sport. The walleye is the official state fish of Minnesota; anglers also fish for bass, trout, pike, and muskies. Fishing is a year-round activity. In winter, intrepid anglers open holes in the ice and keep on fishing. Along the shores of Minnesota lakes, Native Americans once gathered wild rice (which is not really rice at all, but the seeds of a wild grass). Today wild rice is the official grain of the state of Minnesota – it makes a sensational side dish for fresh-caught fish or wild duck.

About me:
I am a strict vegetarian (i.e. vegan) who loves to eat good food. Those two things don't go together unless one cooks well...so I have learned to cook well and to my liking! It is rare for folks to even know they are eating food without meat/eggs/dairy when they eat with me! Saving the planet and it's inhabitants, one meal at a time.

Jamaican Jerked Chicken

Reviewed on Jul. 5, 2008 by Southern-Girl

It smelled great when I mixed everything together and I even let it marinate. I am only giving 2 stars because I did the prep and hubby put it on the grill. Maybe there was a mistake there, but I highly doubt it because he is an expert on the grill in my opinion. He is always asked to grill at functions.

Texas Pork Ribs

Reviewed on Jul. 5, 2008 by Southern-Girl

Didn't change a thing. Came out wonderful and will for sure be making these again. Very tender. Can't rate the sauce because we never use any. Good BBQ never needs sauce.

Beer Margaritas

Reviewed on Jul. 5, 2008 by ONIOND

Awesome. I can't taste the beer. I used a can of Molson's that someone gave us, and some fairly cheap tequila (AHH!) but it still tasted good.
