Hey KC and Aaron,
I'd hoped you'd come through Jackson on your way North and West, but I know when you're on a 15 hour drive, any delay is torture.
I hated the restaurant in Mobile didn't live up to expectations (you and Aaron were polite enough not to say how disappointing it was), but I'm glad y'all and Sammy made it safely. I'm looking forward to learning about Oklahoma cooking. Years ago I was offered a transfer to OC but turned it down. A cousin on my dad's side said Tulsa was cool but OC was the opposite, so I moved to progressive Mississippi instead. Jackson is 180 degrees from where it was then. My money is on OC changing over the years too -- it's gotta change because the Arntzes have arrived.
I made a couple of gallons of soup the other day, simmered the meat and veggies 4 or 5 hours; I added seasonings and what was left of a bottle of Madeira (spell check wants that to be mad era) toward the end. I strained it and put back the lean ham from the ham hocks, along with rice and the usual seasonings, but the texture of the ham was like eating plastic -- so I pureed the whole mess -- yum! Great base for -- what -- sweet Italian sausage, boudin (that's spicy pork and rice sausage, for other readers), some kind of beans maybe, and I've got to use the frozen turkey from Christmas, if it's not too late.
Keep cooking! I love the new look.
Love to Aaron and, of course, to you.
Peter

The new blog looks great! I am so excited to read how you guys are gonna take OK by storm. You always do. Chicken is a great idea...I always end up taking it off the stove thinking its undercooked and then magically it isn't.

I really want to start cooking more so I will definitely be here checking out your recipes. I do expect some bbq!

I was cracking up reading about your adventures!

Thanks Lauren! Haha, Sammy was a bit annoyed to say the least. I guess being in the car for 15 hours over 4 days and then being boarded for 4 days wasn't exactly her definition of fun.

That tortellini soup is amazing. And with all of the garlic, it's my go-to recipe when I'm coming down with a cold. It'll kick a colds ass!

And I totally understand about the chicken. You would think it's so simple, but it's so easy to overcook. We've been eating a lot of chicken lately, so I'll try to figure out exactly what I'm doing (asides from luck and chance) that makes it tasty. :)

YAY YOU'RE BACK IN CAPS!!! Also, Sammy looks annoyed as hell in that pic...

Love the new look of the blog and I can't wait to see what you come up with! My mom made your tortellini soup last week and it was a hit. I stole about half and snuck it home so I could procrastinate going to the grocery store a little longer.

As for suggestions, anything with chicken please! As simple as chicken can be, I do a really good job of screwing it up and overcooking things. Teach meeeeeeeeee Kaceyyyyy!

Lauren
