Indiana

Situated between Illinois and Ohio and just below Michigan, the Hoosier State occupies the center of the Midwest. Incidentally, the original meaning of Hoosier is no great compliment: it means an ungainly, awkward yokel. But Indianans have unabashedly embraced the name. Hoosier is also the team name of Indiana University in Bloomington. A few Indiana culinary traditions include Persimmon pudding, Indiana chile (with beef and beans), and popcorn. About half of Indiana’s farmland is planted in corn, and Hoosiers have been popping kernels since Native Americans first taught them the trick. The Indianapolis 500, held every year over Memorial Day weekend, is one of America’s premiere tailgating events. Pre-race, fans can fuel up at Breakfast at the Brickyard and the annual Champions Pasta Dinner. And the winning driver of the Indy 500 traditionally hoists a big glass bottle of cold milk in the winner’s circle.

Last Night's Chicken

This was a waste of a can of orange soda! The chicken just tasted like chicken, and was nothing special.

Roast Pumpkin and Feta Risotto

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by Pinky1013
I didn't find this to be all that tasty. The time it took was not really worth the result. I served this at a big family meal and people liked it, but didn't LOVE it....so if you just want something different then try it, but don't expect it to be out of this world.
