Oklahoma

Shaped something like a meat cleaver poised above Texas, the Sooner State was homesteaded in a novel way. In 1889, a land rush opened up Oklahoma Country (the so-called Unassigned Lands) to homesteading. Not everyone played by the rules. Some snuck across the starting line before the signal was given. These cheaters came to be called “Sooners.” After Oklahoma became a state in 1907, this pejorative became a term of waggish self-regard for unabashed Oklahomans. The name Oklahoma is a combination of two Choctaw words “okla,” which means “people,” and homma, which means “red.” In the Choctaw language, Oklahoma Territory meant “Indian Territory.” Oklahoma is the only state in the Union that has an official state meal. It’s quite a spread, a comprehensive tour of southern specialties, consisting of barbecue pork, biscuits with sausage and gravy, chicken fried steak, cornbread, black-eyed peas, grits, corn, fried okra, squash, strawberries, and pecan pie.

I made my own ginger garlic paste, by combining chopped garlic with a piece of ginger root in a blender, along with some olive oil. I served the chicken over rice.

Strawberry Oat Muffins

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by missygail
Amazing muffins....I made one batch following the recipe exactly (which I never do) and they were amazing. I also made a batch substituting 2/3 cup mushed very ripe bananas for the strawberries and added 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg...they were the best. I loved the flavor.
