GD Ritzy's when I was younger..thin burger, well toasted bun with everything!
My dad would make us the depression era breakfast he grew up on (I should mention I was 4 when i first remember eating this, it was the mid 1970') coffee soup, it was either saltine crakers or bread with coffee poured over and as much sugar as you liked. WOW!
anyone want to share their recipes for homemade cbh? I just made 2 large CB roasts yesterday and have about a pound leftover.
Recipe please?
I have made this often for potlucks at work, I make it the day before and toss it in a crockpot in the morning, also make the rice the night before and microwave it before its time to serve, its cheap to make and people rave about it, I make it with smoked turkey drumsticks:
Red Beans & Rice
Ingredients:
1 bag red/kidney beans (16 oz.)
3-4 Tablespoons oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large Bell Pepper, chopped
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced (or to taste)
1-2 smoked ham hocks (or smoked turkey wings)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Cajun seasoning to taste
Soak beans in cold water overnight, at least 8 hours, but no longer than 12. (You can skip this step but, if you do, it will take the beans a LOT longer to cook.)
In an 8-quart stock pot, sauté onion, pepper, celery, carrot, and garlic in the oil until soft & translucent. Add beans, cayenne, bay leaves, smoked hocks/wings and thyme. Cover with water, stir, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for an hour.
After the hour, taste for salt and add Cajun seasoning. If you’re using a no-salt or low-salt Cajun seasoning, you may need to add salt, as well. (I use either Zatarain’s for Tony Chachere’s, both available at Kroger.) Simmer two more hours, or until beans are done to desired softness.

Lemons THANK YOU! My mamaw would make Oysted Dressing that sounds just like that and I never got the recipe. I plan on serving 3 types of dressing this year!
Lemons- Care to share the recipe for the Oyster Dressing??
this is our must have dip for Buckeye games, serve with torilla chips:
1 pound ground beef
1 pound italian sausage (not the link variety, use the "roll" we use Bob Evans)
1 onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 pound block velveeta cheese
jarred sliced jalepeno peppers
brown ground beef, italian sausage and onion, once hamburger and sausage is cooked put in crock pot and add cream of mushroom soup and cubed velveeta cheese. Cook on low until cheese is melted, chop jalepeno's (start with 3 tablespoons chopped) add to dip and cook on low for 20 minutes, taste and see if more jalepeno's are needed and turn crock pot to warm. This goes quick at our tailgates, I have also in the past added a can of rotel tomatoes
The italian place is Bucca Di Beppo and there is one in Worthington about 10 minutes from the zoo, it is located right off of 270 and 23:

There is also Goose Neck Tavern in Powell which has great home made food, it is probably 5 minutes from the zoo at 9721 Sawmill Rd.
City BBQ is AWESOME and there is one about 3 miles from the zoo that also has a Graeters Ice Cream attached:

Out of all of them I would recommend City BBQ
Head to Athens and eat at Casa Nueva, you WILL NOT be sorry! Worker owned, local produce, seasonal menu, slow food and great prices. Try the black bean salsa, I have driven 2 hours to have it when the craving hits.
Hit up the Cantina/Bodega next door between 5-8 for the Puerco Pibil..they also make alot of their own infused vodka, the ginger infused vodka with ginger ale is to die for. Actually anyone within a 4 hour drive of Athens should check it out sometime.
My parents divorced when I was 3 and up till I was in 2nd grade I lived with my Mom, then she moved to another town an hour away and instead of moving me halfway during the school year my dad would come stay with me and on the weekends my mom would come home. Every morning my dad would try to do my pigtails (always lopsided and crooked, he was a welder and his hands werent made for little girl hairstyling) and pack my lunch. Always the same thing..fried thick cut bologna on white bread with ketchup wrapped in foil, a Little Debbie oatmeal pie and a quarter for milk. It was the weirdest lunch ever but very exotic since my Mom never allowed me to have white bread, she always made her own wheat bread and woul NEVER buy me any "snacks"
Thanks for all of the awesome suggestions! Keep em' coming!
