Not very healthy maybe, but most of Southern cooking isn't (or at least the cooking I grew up on; it's changed somewhat; less lard is used). > 2- do you think that southerners use so much frying because of > african-american influence? >> Maybe, I don't know. I always associated it with having so much fat available from pork because even poor people, which was almost everyone, could keep at least one pig and feed it scraps from the table. Everything from that pig was used, including the fat (called lard) that was used to make biscuits and flavor vegetables, which were always cooked until they were extremely soft. And then there's bits of solid stuff from clarifying that fat, called cracklin', that's put into biscuits for flavor. Even the intestines were fried and eaten; can't remember what that's called now; I could never bring myelf to eat that. Grits with red-eye gravy, tomatoes with mayonaise, butter beans and black-eyed peas from the garden, cornbread, biscuits, ham, fried chicken, fried fish, cole slaw, potato-salad, sweet-potato pie, pecan pie, iced tea... that's home food to me (Virginia with parents from North Carolina). Succotash is a vegetable stew with fresh tomatoes, corn kernels, butter beans and okra. It's colorful and very good (except for that slimey okra). Debra Shea NP: PJ Harvey, To Bring You My Love.

This morning's news even had a quote by Mr. Buchanan saying that he doubted that those votes were really his. The media is reporting that 19,000 ballots were marked for 2 candidates- Buchanan and Gore. Later in the day, they were saying that the ballot was "confusing" to some voters, and some pundits suspect that part of that may have been caused by the residents of Florida, many of whom are, uhm.... past retirement age. (Lots of people retire to Florida don't cha know.) The dems are claiming that the ballot is actually "illegal" because Florida law states that the ballot must be built a certain way. And the one in question isn't built that way. (Ironically, the Bush folks point out that in Gore's home county, they have..... wait for it..... a butterfly ballot. Some candidates on the left, some candidates on the right. ** The reality is that if a voter makes a mistake on a ballot, all he or she has to do is ask for help. It happens many times on every election day. The mis-marked ballot is destroyed and the voter is given another chance. It is completely cavalier and inappropriate to later whine, as I saw one elderly American do on TV news, "I don't know who I voted for! The ballot confused me!" That's hog-wash. Shame on the dems! "Reckless voters" is not a valid reason to annul an election. And thank G*d. Further, in Florida both parties are allowed to view the ballot ahead of time. BOTH parties approved the so-called 'illegal' ballot! ** IMO, we should quietly have faith in the democracy that has given us peaceful transition of power for generations (HELLO??) and work the re-count. Let's recount with dignity. Maybe, after we have a new president, we should re-visit the wacky idea (IMHO) of the Electoral College but it's no reason to throw out this election! If we did, we would never again be able to put our trust in the democratic process. Instead, the process itself would be up for review after every election! Thanks for the bandwidth, Les.

When I moved to the Cincinnati, Ohio area some 20 years ago, I was urged to try "Cincinnati Chili". I tried it and I must admit I don't care for it but that is beside the point. It turns out that "Cincinnati Chili" was invented by Greek immigrants to Cincinnati about 40 years ago. On a bed of spaghetti, they put a ground beef slurry with an unusual sauce that includes, now get this, chocolate sauce. (There is no tomato in the sauce at all.) Optionally you can specify red beans and raw, chopped, white onions. The mandatory topping is about 1/3 pound of shredded American cheese. (I'm not lying- it is a hideous amount of cheese.) They serve it on a plate so small that, when the diner attempts to select a forkful, the cheese tumbles all over one's paper placemat. To add insult to injury, the spaghetti is cooked, and cooked and cooked, way beyond al dente. It also appears that aging the cooked spaghetti is a custom if not actually in the recipe. One time, I watched as a waitress checked the bucket holding cooked pasta and called out, "Al, we're running low on spaghetti!" When the fresh bucket of cooked spaghetti arrived, Al, bless his heart, just dumped it on top of what-ever was left. So someone got hours-old pasta. Can you imagine? Even McDonald's food is fresher! Eating the recommended portion results in a bloated, stuffed feeling that this diner does not wish to re-visit. Yuck. To me, the only redeeming social benefit to the local "Skyline Chili" parlors is that they serve a pretty good Greek salad. Real feta! Yum. :) Bon apetit, (sp?)

I'd bet the farm that there aren't 3,400 Jews in the COUNTRY who voted for Buchanan. The whole thing is suspicious, with good ol bro Jeb runnin thangs down ere. "Technicality" is one word for it. It seems that the folks whose votes may have been compromised are outraged though, and I don't think this will go away anytime soon, the election is tainted for sure. If it isn't handled properly, and Bush wins because of it, there's some consolation in the fact that he'll never be able to get past it. He'll prove to be 10 times as ineffectual as he's bound to be either way, and we could see a Democratic majority in Congress in another 2 years. Whoever wins has an uphill battle with the country so divided. This election may be won by losing.

I think that because my mother was a cook who would do things with dumplings that Dr. Frankenstein could only dream of, I developed a life long interest in cooking and food, (much to the dismay of my hips). Looking back over the years, I realize now that much of her cooking repertoire was shaped by a limited budget that had to feed one hungry husband and 5 growing kids. Many of her recipes were adaptations of the cooking her mother did during the Depression. One recipe in particular stands out: fried macaroni with egg. My mother would cook up a batch of elbow macaroni until it was nice and tender. Meanwhile, she would melt a wad of Crisco shortening in a huge cast iron skillet. When the macaroni was barely able to stand on its own two feet, it was drained and then thrown into the skillet and "sauteed." While this was going on, Mom broke two or three eggs on top of the whole shebang and stirred it in all together. It was dished on our plates and topped with a hearty dose of ketchup. Minutes later, the welcome cry of: "Get your butts in here for dinner if you don't want to find out what's going to happen to you!" reverberated throughout the house. Although it is something that I have never attempted to re-create, I know that my Mom and her sisters still enjoy this concoction to this day. Other meals that stemmed from the Depression were: "gravy bread," which was two slices of white bread with leftover gravy poured on top of it and mashed potatoes with hamburger gravy. Hot, filling and it went great with ketchup. And if you finished your plate, you didn't get a whack on the head. MG np: Nintendo noises, damn this new hearing aid!!

I have very fond memories of Minnesota cooking. I think one reason being that it can get so cold up there, that anything* hot* tastes good! Actually there is a cuisine called "Hot Dish". It's similar to what we call casseroles or as Murph mentioned,(Since Julia Child introduced us to French cuisine), Cassoulets - It's mainly a dish that you throw everything together and bake it in one dish. Wild rice is include quite often. Actually wild rice is not a rice at all. Instead, it is a long - grain marsh grass native to the northern Great Lakes area. Wild Rice has a very nutty flavor and chewy texture. Why do i feel like I'm writing a paper :~) Another Minnesota tradition is gathering with friends and family around Sept and having a giant smelt fry on the beaches of Lake Superior. You cast your nets, catch them and fry em' up. Campfires line the shore. I know to some of you this may sound pretty gross, but it's kind of like peeling shrimp at Jonifests. There's lot's of guitar playing and singing. Some Joni, but not enough for me. Lot's of Dylan and alot of Steely Dan! Next : Do you want to hear about UP cooking?

Maybe I'm just getting too old - I'm sick of the constant spin, bias and excuses which is facilitated by the media on a 24 hour basis. I hear the media pundits start ranting with ideas on how to fight the situation in Florida and a few hours later, I hear some lawyers on some show saying they are going to sue, etc. It's like the media advances these ideas and then everyone picks up on them as gospel truth, irregardless of what the laws are, whether state or federal, and irregardless of what the truth is. Yuck. Here's a news story I heard today on the esteemed NPR - the voters in Richard Daley, Jr.s (Gore's sampaign manager and spokesman) precinct also used a "butterfly" ballot. How ironic! All I will say as far as the Electoral College goes is that I think all adult Americans should go back and take an American Government refresher course. We are a *Republic* - that's why our name is the "United STATES". Even though some people think it is logical to have the one with the most numbers win, that could eventually lead to the minority of states with the most population getting preferential treatment over the rest of the other states. How would you feel if you lived in Wyoming or Montana or Utah but New York and California voters determined your destiny? And then people yell about the disenfranchised voters in Florida. Yes, I'm very frustrated but it is not over who will ultimately win as President.

Anyway, I am two days behind on my digests, but thought I'd post on the age thing. I turned 30 in March, and it was a totally hideous experience at the time - -- it really kicked me in the ass (aren't I just so eloquent tonight?). I had a really hard time with it. I don't know, I just keep picturing myself as a big kid -- I still want to hop out of bed on Saturday morning and watch Scooby Doo while eating a big ole bowl of Lucky Charms. Anyhoo, it was hard to actually let it sink in that I am not the proverbial spring chicken anymore. As my mother always jokes with me about everything, she says "aren't you getting a little long in the tooth for that?" However, I am consoled for the time being that I look young -- what was once a curse is now a blessing, I guess. I got asked for ID buying cigarettes a few weeks ago, and that made me smile like there was no tomorrow. So anyway, I am a 30 year old who at various times during the day feels 10, 13, 16, 25, 30, and 105. Oh, and I saw that someone posted about Katrina and the Waves "Walking on Sunshine". Another song of theirs that for some reason makes me happier than hell is "That's the Way", which I bet even ole slutty Bob hasn't even heard of -- I don't know if that one was released in the States.

If we are to be as technically and excruciatingly accurate as is being demanded down in Florida, then our news providers should be a little more careful, too. We can all agree they were calling elections a couple days ago with only 1% of the vote in in some states, right? You can argue endlessly about how the early and sometimes inaccurate media projections may have caused some irregularities in the vote, too. > We can cut down on fraud and irregularity, > and perhaps move to popular rather than electoral voting, to >reduce the arbitrariness, but we cannot eliminate it.

See Michael, this is where I start to spin - the Dems in 1960 benefited from *proven*, in a court of law, criminal fraud consisting of votes from people who were dead and other ballot box stuffing (This was also was explained to me by the esteemed NPR radio today). Please don't lump in the situation in Florida with that unless fraud there is proven in a court of law, too. > As for letting the media run the U.S., I'm not sure exactly >what action we could take to undercut media power in this >instance other than to demand that election and counting >practices conform with the law, which is exactly what >everyone from Buchanan to Bush to Gore to patient but > perplexed Americans seems to be doing.
