Well I'm already planning a big veggie garden. Maybe i should build a coop, too. *eyes the backyard*


! I have 2 plots at the community garden, but sadly they don't allow chickens, or I'd raise some. but should get lots  of veggies.


For you! http://www.heirloomseeds.com/

Aside from the satisfaction of growing (some) of my own food, it'll save me money. Well....until I go buy that organic whole milk and eggs.

*chuckles* technicaly if you are traditional.. no.. but many use chicken instead.

http://search.foodnetwork.com/food/recipe/chicken+fajitas/search.do?searchString=chicken+fajitas&site=food&gosearch=&searchType=Recipe

It is supposed to be with things like Carne asada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carne_asada

( yummy stuff) esp from the street corner taco shops.

My Pico is more of a Cuban style that more closely resembles chismol sauce.

Tonight it has Tomatoes, green chillies, lime juice, tomilitos, onions, and garlic. ( I was out of Cilantro)

I change out my pico every once in a while. I love jimca. Depends on my mood.

My Girl is Cuban.. I hooked her by my cuban cooking even though I am a Gringa.

Fajita means "skirt", referring to the cut of beef.
Here's an interesting link:

I toured the King Ranch doen in S. Texas many years ago, and they talked about grilling skirt and flank steaks over the fire way back around the 1900s.

What is known along the Rio Grande and in the US as Pico de Gallo is called Salsa Cruda or Salsa Mexicana Cruda down in Mexico.

I know a LOT about Cocina Mexicana.




whayhay, Traditional Cornish pasties use skirt for the meat, nothing else is good enough.



patwi -> RE: "In weak economy, Americans swap steak for chicken" (3/12/2008 9:34:08 PM)

Yes but...I thought you couldn't dare to east a pastie past that bridge? (can't think of the name) My Cornish pal proudly proclaimed that it's near sacrelidge for pasties to be made or eaten outside of Cornwall.

I like fish.

With any luck, cat will become a popular substitute-it's not like there is any lack of them.[:D]



DominorSomnium -> RE: "In weak economy, Americans swap steak for chicken" (3/12/2008 9:36:21 PM)

cat, the other red meat.
I don't think there is enough there to eat

There's at least as much as a rabbit-enough for a few tacos, and a fur hat.

Take this in the spirit in which it is given.

Ain't no such thing as "chicken fajitas".

A common enough misconception to even make it into Wiki... Actually fajita means 'band', like a bandage or a belt, and refers to the slicing of whatever type of meat into strips.
The word for 'skirt' is falda. 
And arracheras with lingua, pollo, etc. have been around a lot longer than yuppy Tex-Mex sour cream and pico recipes, which are only distantly related to much real Mexican cuisine...



GreedyTop -> RE: "In weak economy, Americans swap steak for chicken" (3/12/2008 9:55:37 PM)

ramen noodles with a good sesame oil drizzled on them is tasty.  or with oodles of butter and lightly sprinkled with garlic salt ( I prefer the mccormick Calif. garlic salt)

Not really. Plus, they're smarter than most people.

Now dogs... those suckers are trusting, AND they've got some meat on them! They're like cows that slobber. [8D]

I've eaten KFC "chicken" fillet burgers. I know what I'm talking about.



Aneirin -> RE: "In weak economy, Americans swap steak for chicken" (3/12/2008 10:20:36 PM)

Chicken is not cat?



Alumbrado -> RE: "In weak economy, Americans swap steak for chicken" (3/12/2008 10:21:25 PM)

Siiiiigh.... only if it is on a stick.

And it isn't rat meat, it is pygmy deer meat....

...and i guess i'm the only one who keeps seeing this title and thinking "In volatile market, only stable investment, is PORN!"
(Avenue Q, which i've never actually seen, for what it's worth)


Let me guess, everyone else is going for the "In Soviet Russia, cow eats YOU" bit, right? [&:]
