I find Southern food very comforting especially a Classic Southern Pecan Pie. This recipe was given to me by a friend here in town. She added an ingredient that I had never had in a pecan pie before. One year for Christmas a friend of ours baked a pecan pie for us as a gift. There was no objection from me of a gift of homemade food. Her recipe included cinnamon. I have eaten a lot of pecan pies over the years and never had one with cinnamon before. It definitely added a great extra layer of flavor to the pie. I love cinnamon so I am all for adding it to recipes. Her recipe also makes three pies if...
Although not an authentic Mexican dish, these have become quite popular at my house! Therefore I thought I’d include them in my Mexican Food celebration. Doesn’t get more Mexican than beans, cheese and jalapenos! These finger treats are just a new way to enjoy those key ingredients! This “wrap” is soft yet substantial enough to pick up and eat with your hands. These are not at all crisp. These are great for snacks or to serve at parties. If you don’t eat pork rinds, you could substitute in some low-carb bake mix instead, but carb count would go up and wrapper texture as well. The only way I can afford the carbs in beans and keep these pliable to fold...
In 2018, when Phillips Armstrong opened Aurum Food & Wine in Breckenridge, he saw it as an opportunity to bring something new to town. What he couldn’t have known was that his restaurant, nestled into a revamped house on Ridge Street, would nudge the dining scene in a new direction. It’s not unusual for Colorado resort towns to have thriving but creatively stagnant restaurant communities. Rather, it’s often due to the gravitational force of being a tourist town. Visitors swing through, stay a few days, and eat their way through the offerings. So long as the meals consumed are good enough, said tourists will return on their next visit. And so goes the cycle: There’s very little incentive to push...
Some of the best comedians currently strutting their stuff on the world stage come from Hispanic and Mexican backgrounds. While many were brought up in America, just as many were born across the border in Mexico, South America, and Spain. The best Hispanic and Mexican comedians combine aspects of their culture and stereotypes surrounding them with relevant jokes and funny observations that everyone can understand. Many Latino comedians started their careers as stand-up comedians and have managed to parlay that initial success into other avenues, becoming movie stars, radio hosts, or getting their own TV shows and specials. While it’s true they all come from different backgrounds Hispanic and Mexican comedians are hilarious people who give an insight into their...
Nowadays, it can feel like jumping through hoops is required just to land a decent job interview. So after surviving all of the preparation and nerves, the disappointment can be crushing when you learn that a company is only willing to offer you a pathetic excuse for a salary. That’s why one man has decided enough is enough. Below, you’ll find a story that this fed-up landscaper recently shared on the Antiwork subreddit detailing how he’s attempting to get back at these stingy companies, along with an interview between the landscaper himself and Bored Panda. Job interviews for positions with measly salaries can feel like a huge waste of time Image credits: Tima Miroshnichenko (not the actual photo) So this...
