  1. It doesn't seem fair to pick any one region's cuisine as particularly bad or good. They are each different and each utilizes what natural ingredients their region can grow well. Health has much more to do with lifestyle choices and moderation than specifically what type of food you eat. There's also a huge difference in eating home-cooked fried chicken every sunday or KFC. Plenty of any cuisine's "healthiness" would also have to stem from the ingredients used. Blaming southern cuisine today would have more to do with the lack of effort from majority of people to go out and find organic vegetables than what passed down recipe they're using, whether it's the new diet styled version or the 100 year old family secret. Too much emphasis is laid on what we're eating today instead of HOW we're eating and how MUCH. Forget blaming a cuisine, start blaming the people who choose to eat artery clogging foods in excess.
  2. This is such an interesting topic. We have a loquat tree and I'm curious as to whether or not those would be any good candied, but I'm going to have to try the process mention for kumquats. Do let me know how the rhubarb turns out and what recipe you used because our household loves rhubarb and I'm sure would thoroughly enjoy it candied. The moment it pops out of the ground we rush to the store to make the most out of rhubarb tart season.
  3. I recently went to Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland and it was fabulous. It looks small from the outside but it seats a surprising number of people. The menu is mouthwatering, if you're a steak kind of person. They have wet age, dry age, and even Kobe (both Texas raised and some from Japan if you order about 2 weeks ahead of time). When I went I ordered a black and blue dry age 16 oz Ribeye which was amazing. It was perfectly done and even though I couldn't finish it, it was just as delicious the next morning cold. That's a good steak. They also have sides that are to die for, namely the creamed corn which was featured in Food and Wine. And the macaroni and cheese is probably more cream than cheese. Delicious! If you decide to go out again, I recommend you try it.
