So canned versus cooking down mine own, check.
I suppose you could cook your own but whatever they season theirs with is pretty darned magical.....especially the Glory brand. Deep fried is about the only way I can eat egg plant now. My half Italian mother wore me out on it as a kid,
I bread em in egg and flour with a little Cajun seasoning mixed in and fry em. Other than that I'm not a big Fan of Egg Plant either. I'll eat em but I don't go looking for em.

Huh, something new everyday. Mmmm I’m sensing corn bread with honey butter would push it over the top. Hopping John. It's supposed to be a side dish but I put Collards in mine and make a meal out of it. It ain't pretty but it's delicious.....I love the stuff. It's better the second night too which is a good thing cause I'll be eating it for a few days. I know I don't have to say this but use good bacon. If you're going to use collards look for either Glory brand Southern Style or Sylvias. Don't bother making your own collards because you can't match either one. I add one 14.5 oz can to half of a batch of this recipe. http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/hoppin-john-rice-and-black-eyed-peas-134205http://www.gloryfoods.com/collard-greens/http://www.sylviassoulfood.com/CollardGreens.htmlPS.....if you want to broaden your horizons Fried Egg Plant goes good with this. Don't see anything wrong with putting collards in there. Heck, red bell peppers aren't on any recipes, either. But, I put them in my Hoppin John.

Couple of Nathan's hotdogs and an Asian chopped salad bag mix the wife got from Costco. Basically a coleslaw with a slightly sweet sesame dressing. Fresh pineapple and mango with some tajin for dessert. No pics to tired after work and battling the unwashed masses at DMV for my mother.

Nathans dogs are good.
We had a beef pot pie that my mother made and sent down.
My favorite part is the home made crust.
I never thought I would ever get old enough to say something like that.......

Nothing like coming home from school on a winters day smelling the pot pie in the oven. Fresh crust and bubbling sauce. Couple of Nathan's hotdogs and an Asian chopped salad bag mix the wife got from Costco. Basically a coleslaw with a slightly sweet sesame dressing. Fresh pineapple and mango with some tajin for dessert. No pics to tired after work and battling the unwashed masses at DMV for my mother. Ok I went back for a second helping of the fruits.

Is that what it is for? Fruit?

It’s an all around seasoning. My kids packedseveral bottles to college and sprinkle it over everything including ice cream, college kids.
Pizza, spaghetti, fried up taters, fish, chicken and yes my favorite fruit.
Also several drink recipes using it. There is a spicy margarita and tajin is used to coat the rim of the glass. Clamato Michelada, yeah look it up.
You get the picture.

Looks good, especially the OF and Maduro. Remember in the 80’s you couldn’t give flank steak away.

Dan, bet you can't guess the cost ($/lb) I pay to freight in fresh (flash frozen) scallops ?
Or a 5lb bag of live mussels !
We love them, so pay the piper !

My wifes new favorite is the gumbo I make.
My favorite is the black eye peas I made a while back.
Going to try a shrimp etoufe next.
Then maybe a hoppin john, or a Jambalaya and so on.
We are getting a hell of a kick out of trying Cajun/Creole cooking for the first time. The flavors are nothing like we had imagined.
I am MAGA.

Same here Jim. I made my first batch of Gumbo about five years ago and I've been trying my hand at Cajun dishes every since. Gumbo's one of my all time favorite meals to date. Every batch seems better than the last.
