This time of year there are quite a few roadside produce stands set up. Farm fresh and vine ripened tomatoes and sweet corn. Plus cakes, peppers of all kinds. New potatoes, onions and squash. With a large Amish community around there is always baked goods too. Free range eggs, fresh bread and maple cured bacon makes a pretty fine breakfast too. Eating good from the farms of NE Ohio
Oh yes but unfortunately there are less and less family farms as time goes by.
I guess we'd rather have our fresh produce from Mexico.......fertilized with who knows what.

Take a drive through Amish country. Lots of local farms. It’s more of a seasonal thing here. Canned tomatoes taste way better than the grocery store types. I buy American as a routine. I don’t trust south of the border produce.

I can speak from experience that the rice in Vietnam tastes just fine and it gets fertilized by water buffalo and their tenders.

It tasted ok, but I got so sick & tired of it that I'll NEVER eat white rice again!! We literally ate that shit DAILY in '67 & '68.

Thursday afternoon's lunch special while watching the INDIANS will be my wife's oven roasted turkey thighs......ummmmm, one of my favorites.
She goes to our local Giant Eagle and gets several big thick meaty turkey thighs and adds her special home grown herbs and other spices and in the oven they go.
It's delicious and fairly economical, recipe upon request if anyone is interested.
........edit add, oh and probably a potato side dish, she chops up potatoes and onions and adds some Italian spices or an Italian salad dressing and puts them in the microwave while the main dish is cooking, also delicious!!

Well we had this for our early supper today and it was delicious, the turkey two pack was plenty enough for two people and was like Thanksgiving in August. On the potato and onions no peeling potatoes just chop them up with the white onions. This time we used Olive oil to line the deep 9x9 dish, mixed our garden herbs and spices and put into the dish. About 15 minutes on high checked, a few more minutes until the potatoes were just tender and done. Some fresh green beans and ready to eat!
We used some Breakstone sour cream on top of the potatoes and it gives it a good peroghy taste some salt and pepper and we're all set.
For dessert some Rulli Brothers cheesecake mousse pie and it was a meal.

I never had rice until I was 17. It wasn’t allowed in our house. Something about my dad and the Chinese in the early 1950s.
Nothing much special about it anyway.

I love Japanese white rice. Take it over potato anyday.

I never really liked white rice but will eat brown rice with stuff in it like young chow fried rice or something like that.

See there's your problem Mike. I was raised in Beaumont Texas until age 12+ and ricelands are everywhere, especially around Winnie which is between Beaumont and Houston. Rice was the staple of our table in those days. And irony of ironies when I was in one of those little villes in VN, there was a huge USDA bag of rice standing there which had the shaking hands on it from the people of, where else, Beaumont, Texas. I was like WTF are we both doing here from Beaumont? And to this day I wonder what that bag was doing there in a ville surrounded by rice paddies in Binh Thuan province which was nothing but a rice growing region on the coast south of Nha Thrang. Head scratcher.
But my how things change. None of this existed back in the day. ?

My wife is the big rice eater but she's a smart eater......she actually prefers it to potatoes at times, NOT me I'm a meat and potatoes guy!
But I eat much smarter now but still love to cook and eat, that's part of the reason for this thread.
Bon appetit!

I still think this thread shows we might as well have a good forum
I’d be in for it.
I’ve seen lots of good chow on here. Fancy or plain. Strange thing though...... no salads... lol.

The above from 2018........
Yes speaking about all kinds of recipes simple or gourmet we've amassed quite a cookbook collection many cheap, free or gifts from friends......who like to eat here (they bring cookbooks hoping to be invited back.
).
You can spend big money on first editions of go on the cheap with a few key good cookbooks.
Just a few of ours by authors like Beard, Claiborne, Martha Stewart, the Barefoot Contessa, the Pioneer Woman plus the Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and the NYT are just must haves.
Used books in good or excellent condition are a steal. Oh you can go to book sales or yard sales and pick up great old cookbooks for peanuts, food never goes out of style.
Bon Appetit! That's why I created this thread plus good eats and GAMEDAY food just goes with football!

The Sopranos cookbook was surprisingly good too... ?
Was at the Barberton BBQ Fest yesterday, sampled food from the top two finishers, damn good!
We either have that or I've seen it, and Steve Shrippa (sp?) Bobby Baccala from the Sopranos has his cookbooks.
BBQ is a big deal all over the USA.

Things you learn only here in GAMEDAY food.......
Attention would-be paesans: Can’t distinguish “gabagool” from “pasta fazool”? Not sure how to properly accessorize your track suit with gold chains? Does the phrase “go to the mattresses” make you sleepy? Now Steven R. Schirripa, The Sopranos’ own Bobby Bacala, exposes the inner mysteries of this unique Italian-American hybrid in A Goomba’s Guide to Life so that anyone can walk, talk, and live like a guy “from the neighborhood.”
Über-goomba Steve Schirripa shows how being a goomba made him what he is today, offering lessons learned on his own journey from Bensonhurst to Vegas, and to his current gig as Bobby Bacala on one of TV’s most popular shows. Along the way, he shares secrets that will help you get in touch with your own inner goomba. You’ll learn what music to enjoy (Sinatra, yes; Snoop Dogg, no), what movies to watch (Raging Bull, yes; Titanic, never), which sports to follow (baseball is good; golf and tennis, fuhgeddaboudit), and even tips on goomba etiquette. Ever wonder how a real goomba gets the best seat in the house? (Hint: It involves tipping, jewelry, and intimidation.) Schirripa even includes goomba do’s and don’ts (never, ever criticize a goomba’s mother or her gravy; always wear more jewelry than you think you need).
With knockout photographs of Schirripa and his compares, and insider information on how to think goomba, speak goomba, cook and eat goomba, and even how to behave at goomba weddings and funerals, A Goomba’s Guide to Life will show any wiseguy wannabe how to sing like a Soprano. -
Steve also lost a ton of weight in real life......
Hey, goomba! Are you on the Goomba Diet? Do you need to be?
• Do they put up crime scene tape after you visit the buffet table?
• Is the air freshener in your car a slice of provolone?
Stop crying! The Goomba Diet is here—the dolce vita diet that shows you how to eat more, drink more, laugh more, live more, and feel great while you’re doing it. The Goomba Diet offers sensible weight-loss tips for the guy who’s gone too far:
• Touch your toes. If this is difficult, pay a guy to do it for you.
• Walk to court.
It also offers helpful maintenance tips for the goomba who’s the perfect weight and wants to stay that way:
• Try an appetite suppressant. Try eating at Applebee’s.
• Pick up something heavy. Get a copy of The Da Vinci Code.
• Cut out those carbs. Only eat pastas that end in the letter i.
The Goomba Diet is the personal lifestyle guide from Steven R. Schirripa—Bobby “Bacala” Baccalieri from HBO’s hit series The Sopranos and author of the bestseller A Goomba’s Guide to Life. Developed over decades of dreaming about and then living the high life, it’s a how-to guide for happy living—how to duke a maître d', how to order a good meal, how to be a good father, a good husband and a good friend, and how to behave at a wedding, a funeral, and on the job. You wanna have a good time? Follow these rules:
• Do tip the maid. Don’t tip the made guy.
• Do tip the D.J. Don’t tip the D.A.
• Do tell the bride she’s beautiful. Don’t tell her she’s hardly showing.
• Do give your kids an allowance. Don’t offer to “make it interesting” by shooting craps for double or nothing.
The Goomba Diet is for everyone with an appetite for life, and for everyone who understands that the key to happiness isn’t found in a smaller waistline but in a bigger heart. Like Steve says, “There’s a lot of skinny actors wearing black turtlenecks and tending bar right now who’d kill for a part on The Sopranos. This fat goomba is doing all right for himself.”
So relax! Stop worrying about how much you’re eating, and start worrying about how much you’re enjoying it. Lose weight if you like—but live! Put a fork in your right hand, a hunk of bread in your left, and mangia like you mean it.

My dad once lived in the same town as a famous chef with the exact same name and even could pass as his brother if they had ever been side by side. So when he would call for reservations at local restaurants they would give him the best seats in the house and give him top notch meals from their menus. Of course he would then pull out his Diner's Club credit card to pay, which of course reinforced his standing if they had any doubts. He always got a real laugh out of that every time it happened. LOL!?
