I am German & English - so I do not know where it comes from, however; from most favorite food when it is cold is Pea Soup - next would be beef stew.

Homemade bread with real butter -- toasted golden brown and drizzled with honey, Earl Gray or Constant Comment Tea with real cream and more honey.  :) :) :)

Potatoes, Rice, Pasta, lots more butter and cheese.... 

GrammyB ....we think alike. I cannot cook worth a blip but I can make great homemade bread, always have enjoyed doing that. Used to bake it for others and would knead it and pray over the recipient to be and call it blessing bread.

Love tea and am in NC and after a bath and unloading stuff, picked some mint from my garden to make it fresh. 

We are also a mixture of nationalities. I am proud to be a mutt....loads of love and acceptance from all. :)

Thanks for sending the beef stew to me.  It was awesome.

Mom's side of the family was more the down home sothern type with foods like biscuets & gravy, fresh peas, or fried catfish, or a big skillet of deer steak.

Dad's side had some family down arround Monro, and so I picked up a taste for the finer things of cajun cooking, like jumbolia and large quantities of cayenne peper.

Growing up, I was the youngest of 3 and when I'd get in the way too much helping dad outside, I'd just head back inside and help mom in the kitchen. So I've been cooking and experimenting in the kitchen since before I can remember. These days, I don't have as much time to cook as I'd like, but I still experiment with all sorts of recipies when I get the chance. When I went off to college, I got exposed to lots of different cuisines, so, now, whether it's Mexican, Chinese, Indonession, Jewish, French, or any other cuisine, I can usually find some things that sounds and tastes good.

Still, Milkshakes, cashews, Reses, and nacho Doritos are the foods I tend to turn to when I feel down or bored. A pot of spicy cajun ramen made with chicken broth and loaded with cayenne, cajun spice, Velveta and hot smoked saussages is my cure for the common cold, or just a chilly morning. I think the two things I could not live without are hot pepper and Velveta; anything else usualy ends up being just another way to use one or both at my house. Oh, and at my house if you can't find a cat hair or three on the plate, you undoubtably allready ate them. ~__=^.,.^=
