Kansas

The Sunflower State is dead center in the very middle of the country, halfway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Kansas is nearly box-shaped, except for a tiny nibble taken out of its northeast corner, where the Mississippi River briefly snakes into the state. It’s situated directly above Oklahoma, and shares a border with Nebraska to the north. Once, bison roamed the prairie of Kansas by the millions. Today Kansas prairie country is home to some 6,000 bison, making a slow recovery in various refuges and ranches. These days most of Kansas is farm- and ranchland, producing wheat, cattle, and of course sunflowers. During the early 1880s, Dodge City, the “Queen of the Cow Towns,” was the end of the line for Texas longhorn cattle driven north along the Chisholm and Western Trails. From Dodge City, the cattle were loaded onto cattle cars and taken by railroad to the east. When refrigerated railroad cars were invented, all of this would change. Then, cattle would be butchered in cities like Kansas City, and only the meat would be shipped east.

Biscotti

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by Jan C
Very nice biscotti. While I would prefer more of a buttery taste, using oil extends the shelf life. I made a double batch and added various combinations of sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips. I drizzled a chocolate glaze over some of them (1/4 cup butter and 5 oz of bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate). That gives you a huge variety of flavors with little additional work. For those that think the dough is hard to work with, you just need to sprinkle a very small amount of flour on each log - it makes them much easier to handle.

Bob's Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by GIMPYGOO
These were fantastic! Only thing is, nobody could taste the clams...and since I tripled the recipe for a big party, the clams added about $6 to the cost. I think I'll leave them out next time to save some bucks. Everyone loved them!

Margaritas on the Rocks

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by Thisni Caza
Absolutely the best I've tried at home so far! Very near my favorite restaurant margaritas. I halved the alcohol after reading the reviews and doing my own calculations. I made my own sweet and sour, following instructions from an AR article: make the Simple Syrup recipe (on this site) of one cup water and one cup sugar, cool, add one cup lime juice. Didn't use Grand Marnier ($$$); maybe next time. Next time I would also like to try adding more lime juice to the simple syrup.
