My moms - potatoes, summer savory and crushed crackers, also includes tons of butter and a few onions - I miss stuffing since it started killing people :(

Definitely the classic, good for anyone even the most pickiest of eaters.

@foodie,foodie! - I don't know that I would call deviled eggs a weird food. And seeing as how they get made for every family get together in my family, hardly Thanksgiving food :P. Also they're usually the first things to disappear from the table ...

Uses for lemongrass:

"Dry rub" - cut off dried ends, remove dry outer leaves, and cut off the tough root end. Cut the remaining stalk into 1/4" rounds. Grind in blender or food processor. Mix with salt and red pepper flakes (a bit of sugar is optional), to taste. Rub this on chicken, beef or pork. Let marinate for ~30 minutes to an hour. Grill or pan fry your meat. The lemongrass will brown and slightly char, but the flavor is spicy and lemony. It's a favorite of mine. Serve your meat with hot cooked rice.

Syrup - I've made a lemongrass syrup which later went into an iced tea. Very tasty and refreshing. Easy recipe: make a simple syrup and simmer with a 3" stalk of lemongrass for about 20 minutes or so. Take out lemongrass and discard. Cool syrup and store in fridge.

I am not sure it is the same, but i have been using TrueLemon and True Lime powder (just dehydrated juice) all the time. It is perfect for rubs and anytime I just don't want to "open" a whole lemon for a squeeze to brighten a sauce. Also, it doesn't dilute a sauce or whatever. It's usually near the sweetener packets at the store, as they sell packs to use in tea, etc.

@ChefR0bert - I just noticed that as I read through another post. My unsolicited advice is to ignore it, given how easy it is to miss things like tone and intent when reading words and not having the benefit of facial expression, tone of voice, etc. The murder mystery is more trailer park than farm (my character does psychic readings, apparently!), but ironically enough, my softball team did a white trash bash that went both raunchier and way more 'country'-specific than this one is (to the point where I was glad I couldn't make it, despite how much I

Winesaps! I had forgotten about them. Used to love them and think they were the best in pies! Haven't seen one in ages.

@KarynMC - that sounds marginally better than a bowl full of eye of frog. ;)

@ChefR0bert - I wouldn't take it so personally. "White Trash" to me is a subculture ... but one that is pretty varied by where you are. I have seen plenty of 'white trash' that didn't involve farm-related culture of pitchforks/overalls/etc. And "these type of people" are everywhere (my personal experience living it was in PA), so I don't know if I would agree that the majority is in one part of the country or another, but I liked your other suggestions for sure. The hostess is providing booze, but I trust that she's on the right path with that :P

There you go trashing my posts again sbelle... nothing better to do today or just like hearing yourself talk? Last time I checked the majority of these type of people come from Southeast Central USA and the majority of that crowd fits into these schemas.
