Jackie Garvin — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 15:34:10 +0000

Tomatoes and Rice is an old fashioned, classic Southern family favorite side dish. Sweet onion is sautéed in bacon grease before adding Basmati rice and fresh or canned tomatoes. I don’t know the origin of this dish. It goes back to my great-grandmother, at least, and perhaps farther back than that. Granny and Mama cooked...

Yes, cow’s have skirts. You use them to make fajitas. The cut of steak known as the skirt is close to the diaphragm which means it gets used a lot. The more the muscle gets used, the tougher it will be and will either require marinating and a quick cook or covering in liquid and a long,...
