Yummy! 😋Rice is pretty much a Deep South favorite especially on the Coastal areas. My mother and father were total opposites in their love for food because one came from Eastern Kentucky and my mother from the Gulf Coast. Daddy loved his potatoes and could eat them three times a day. Mama liked rice and gravy. Preferably tomato gravy but milk gravy was also delicious. Especially with fried chicken steak, fried chicken or pork chops..
One of the regional dishes down here is paella. It is a Spanish dish from Valencia and can be cooked with about any meat or seafood you want to throw in it. The yellow coloring comes from saffron. We have yellow rice at least 2 or 3 times a week.
My wife had never had rice before we married. She is from Estill County and they don't have a clue how to cook it. But now, she has it down to a science and prefers it over potatoes. I never thought she would say that when we were married.
Valencia Spanish Paella. If you don't like seafood try it with chicken, pork, etc. Or vegetarian. The flavor is superb

Spanish cooking may be the most misunderstood food of any. Most people get it mixed up with Mexican. They are not one in the same. Spanish is more mediterranean and does not have the hot peppers. You get olives and pimentos not chili peppers.
But I love both of them equally. Spanish is a little more elegant and when you go to a Spanish Restaurant you probably wear your Sunday best. When I eat Mexican I dress like I am about to plow the back 40.
Greetings D, hope all are well. I'm concerned about the Donfather. Anyone know if he is ok?? And Tommy please come back. You are missed. Go Bucs and have a great day.

Buuuut ... you have friends from other galaxies. You are one up on all the rest of us.
I just watched a program on UFOs this week. I'm sure you probably know (but I didn't) that we already have several colonies on the moon (on the dark side) and on Mars. They were observing our astronauts as they walked on the moon and the astronauts spotted them. Young people are removed from their beds at night (fewer than 100 at a time) and are transported to these places through a portal and trained for 20 years to fend off invaders. Then they are returned with their memories wiped of their experience and no time has passed since they left.
According to them, the government knows this but won't tell us. But they should.
All of this knowledge is in the MUFON files.

You were right about Goya. Lot better taste than some other brands like Hunts, etc.
I have been banned so often on facebook I seldom check it.

I love sweet and sour pork, or sweet and sour shrimp, or sweet and sour chicken. This is really close and I don't have to add the pinapple. I note that you have lemons so that would add the sour taste. Do you add anything sweet?
Sawnee if this ain't good, I know where to tackle you!
Nothing sweet Bert. Good luck, I hope it turns out great. If not I will personally take you to the Columbia Restaurant which has been around since 1905. My grandparents had their wedding meal there.Okay, I am going to try this.

Chicken and yellow rice, my dad's favorite. Back in the early 50's we would go there after church. A 5 course meal was consisted of Spanish bean soup, salad, devil crab, entree and desert. Adults $1.25 and kids $0.75.
I just rolled in from visiting one of my 1st cousins in Barnes, Mississippi. Enjoyed myself.
Don, good to have you back.
When I lived in Baltimore, MD there was a 4 star restaurant named Tío Pepe and it was wonderful. They had spanish black bean soup that was so plain that it was simply hard to beat. They chopped up onions and put on top of it and it was the best appetizer known to man.Nothing sweet Bert. Good luck, I hope it turns out great.

They had a almond pie/pudding desert that was to kill for.

Ditto except I've a couple of e-mail accounts. The Oasis, ah-h-h, I can grow here without pain. No longer being a Fed, I'm now free to voice an opinion and visit the PT . . . on 2nd thought, I'd better stick to the life science/ecology stuff.
That was quick.
@OldEvilleCat too! Disappeared right after he got that 30 hr/week promotion.
Had a lot of fun at the Sportsdrome last night. The crowd wasn't bad and the racing was ....well, typical for there.

Thankful you had a nice trip to see family. Welcome back, you were missed.
Not complaining and just as a comparison I remember in my early teens in the winter scraping off the top of soup beans in the fridge to get food for breakfast. It was a different life growing up in the slums of Detroit as I did. Had some good times too. Dad and Mom did the best they could. Dad had the sense to leave Kentucky as he and his family were ill-educated and no prospects. Most in that area ended up in trouble with the law.
My brother retired as a corporate jet pilot, my sister did okay, and I can go out and eat when I want. The Lord put me in the company of some good people most of my life growing up. Again, I am thankful. My siblings and I are better off than our parents were and it is trending where all our children will be better off than we are. I guess we are living the American dream.

I love good food. God blessed me with my wife who only needs to put her finger in the food for it to be delicious. An extraordinary cook. I will post a few items I eat regularly.
I do that to this day. One's 36 the other is 35, and the youngest is 29 for a few more days... It's like they never remember though each of them have a near photographic memory...
I will stop but yeah, I did get heavy. got it under control after 25 or so years... Still eat well but measure the intake though it's extremely hard as I love to eat.... (My passion)
Edit: (Barbequed using pine cones. Try it some time. The meat is tremendously tasty.. (That was on our patio when we lived in South Carolina.)
Now this is where I want to eat. Tio Pepe was an excellent restaurant in Clearwater for many years (Spanish) it is now gone. The building was very Spanish and I think it is now upscale Italian. The Original Hooters Restaurant is about a block West of where Tio Pepe's was.When I lived in Baltimore, MD there was a 4 star restaurant named Tío Pepe and it was wonderful.

Cafe Pepe was a fantastic Spanish restaurant in Tampa and the owner started Tio (uncle) Pepe in Clearwater. The sangria was made at your table as was the salad. If you ate there you had to have Sangria. It came with your meal. Red or white. My favorite was red.
And just for the fun of it. The Original Hooters (1983). Established by a bunch of good ole' boys and still stands. You can find it on Gulf to Bay Blvd.
Wow, I share your passion for eating. Those are beautiful dishes and you know it is good. No great. .

I could post tons more pics. I do eat like that regularly. I was going to post some of our fishing trip photo's. I will do that later. Fishing and crabbing, oysters, clams, and ocean vegetation we do miss from South Carolina. We stayed on the ocean as much as was possible.
Yeah, I got banned several weeks to months ago and was ready to dump this place but poster's like Cawood, Gassy, Sawnee Cat (SC), Austin, and Warrior (THANK YOU) came to the rescue and brought me back from my dark place as I have been here for a LONG while as most of you. I was a paying customer for years before the site switched over and just never started back again until recently on the HOB side (The funny thing is I actually started paying again just to support UK in a round about way.)
I posted what was a funny picture but I guess it got a certain MOD angry and with no warning I was cut for I think at least two weeks. (I won't even go into what I posted but it was laughable to be banned for that taking into account posts I even came to be ashamed of myself. (Never ever had an experience of being run out of where I wanted to go. I love everybody.- J. Clower)
Great lifestyle. I have lived most of my life near the Gulf or Atlantic. In any part of Florida you are never more than 60 miles from the ocean or Gulf.
My wife drove over to the Gulf to watch the sunset tonight. We try to do that often as it is only about 15 minutes over there. Beautiful sunsets in the West on most nights. And very few people which is what I like.

The best fourth of July I ever spent was in Pensacola at a park with my feet dangling in the ocean while my wife harvested oysters and the kids played in the white sand. Just an enjoyable couple of days. Just love that area. I am trying hard to get a job to finish out my career in that area. (I have at least two and a half years before I can officially retire.)(Jobs at my grade are hard to come by outside of the DC area. Too much competition. It may be we are here until I do retire but soon after and the Lord willing we will be coming that way (somewhere)...
Some of our fishing trip booty...
Yeah, in a different world now but we will get back...

Welcome back, Donfather. Glad you had a safe trip.
Yeah, it's a shame that you can post something that 95% of the posters like, but if it rubs a Mod the wrong way, you're gone. The part I don't understand is that you can post something on HOB, or Rafters, and you get instructed to take it to the political board. Then you post something on the political board that is opposite of the views of a Mod, and you get banned.
Financially, they may be better off, but I remember being able to leave the doors unlocked when we went somewhere, leaving the windows open at night, kids being able to play in the neighborhood and come home at dark, and everyone having respect for our flag and law enforcement. My grandkids will never know most of this, and it's sad.
Just watched the space station fly over....moves fast
