<br />
Now, being summer, we eat a lot of avocado-based stuff at The Mouse
House. Guacamole. Avocado salad. You get the picture. Which means that
we wind up with a lot of avocado pits rolling around in the kitchen.<br />
Did you know that if you plant those pits, you can actually grow your
own avocado tree at home? Even though trees rooted like this rarely
bear fruit without help (more on that in a little bit), it’s still a ton
of fun to plant your own tree and watch it grow.<br />
And if you have kids, this is a great project. Here are detailed
instructions for how to root and plant a tree from an avocado pit. All
you need is an avocado, a little water and a few toothpicks, a sunny
window, and a whole lot of patience.<br />
Avocado trees grow best in warm, sunny places, but you can keep one
quite successfully for many years in the right indoor environment. They
can grow to between 20 and 40 feet, but are quite happy if you keep them
pruned indoors.<br />
I’ve managed to grow several trees over the years just like this. I usually wind up giving the saplings to folks as presents.<br />
Here are two that I grew a few years ago, when I had a large rooftop
garden. I started them on my windowsill in the winter, then moved them
outside when the weather got warmer. (They’re the two in front.)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Avocado Trees at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11532" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/100_4621-1024x768.jpg" title="Avocado Trees at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /></div>
Not every pit is guaranteed to root, so you may want to try two or three pits at once, just in case.<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: green;">Equipment List</span></h2>
1 avocado pit<br />
4 toothpicks<br />
1 small glass or ceramic dish, about the size of a custard cup<br />
Yields: 1 avocado tree sapling, with patience and a little luck<br />
<h2>
How to remove the avocado pit</h2>
In case you aren’t sure how, here’s how to remove the pit from an avocado.<br />
Cut a full circle longways around the avocado. Twist it apart.<br />
<img alt="avocado" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9708" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/avocado.jpg" title="avocado" width="553" /><br />
The two halves should separate neatly.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9455" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77391.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Whack the pit with a sharp, heavy knife so that the blade bites into the pit just a little bit.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9456" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77401.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Twist the blade and the pit will come right out.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9457" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77421.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Do <strong><a href="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/2009/03/31/open-faced-avocado-sandwich/" target="_blank" title="The Hungry Mouse: Open Faced Avocado Sandwich">something really yummy</a></strong> with the avocado…<br />
<a href="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/2009/03/31/open-faced-avocado-sandwich/" target="_blank" title="The Hungry Mouse: Open Faced Avocado Sandwich"><img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9458" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77611.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /></a><br />
…then clean off your pit. Scrape off any avocado that’s still stuck to the pit.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9459" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77841.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Rinse it off under cold water, then wipe it off. You want to be sure
you’ve removed all the avocado. The pit is going to be sitting in water
for a few weeks, so you don’t want anything funky to start growing in
it.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9460" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77891.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
When you root the pit, you want to do it pointy side up. The stem and
leaves will sprout out the top. And the root will push its way out the
bottom.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9461" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77901.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
<h2>
Stick toothpicks into your avocado pit</h2>
Grab your toothpicks.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9462" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77921.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Push one toothpick into the side of the avocado pit. You want to get
it in far enough so that you can pick the pit up by the toothpick.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9463" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77941.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Do this with the other 3 toothpicks. You want them evenly spaced out, like this:<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9464" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77951.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
<h2>
Keep the avocado pit well watered</h2>
Place the avocado pit over your dish, so the toothpicks are resting
on the rim of the dish and the pit is suspended over the center.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9465" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn77991.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
If it’s not sitting well, wiggle your toothpicks around a little so they’re tilted up slightly, like this:<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9466" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/dscn78011.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Fill the dish with water so that the avocado pit is about halfway submersed.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9467" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dscn7802.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />

Change the water every day or two, so that the pit is constantly sitting in water.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9469" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dscn7806.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
<h2>
Keep your avocado pit on a sunny windowsill</h2>
Set the dish on a sunny windowsill. Keep an eye on it, and replenish the water frequently.<br />
<img alt="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9470" height="415" src="http://www.thehungrymouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dscn7810.jpg" title="How to Grow an Avocado Tree from an Avocado Pit at The Hungry Mouse" width="553" /><br />
Remember: Until you plant your avocado sapling in soil, you need to keeping the pit in water at all times. No water, no tree.<br />
<h2>
How long does it take for an avocado pit to root?</h2>
For the first few weeks, your pit won’t really do much. It will just
sit there, looking very much the same as the day that you first propped
it up. You may start to despair. After all, you’ve been changing the
water for days, so, what gives?<br />
Well, Nature, as they say, takes her sweet time.<br />
Then, after about three weeks or so, the top of the pit should begin
to split open. (Nature is also kind of imprecise…this can take up to six
weeks to happen.)<br />
Over the next few weeks, a stem will shoot up, the first leaves will
begin to grow, and roots will begin to force their way out of the
bottom. In a few more weeks, you should see more leaves.<br />
The whole process will generally take about 3 months, give or take.<br />
<h2>
When to plant your avocado seedling</h2>
When your tree is maybe 7-8 inches tall, nip off the top few leaves.
(That’s right…pinch them off. It will encourage growth and help the tree
branch out.)<br />
Grab a 10-inch pot with a saucer and at least one drainage hole in
the bottom. Fill it about an inch from the top with potting soil.<br />
Dig a shallow hole in the center of the soil (just deep enough so
half the pit is covered). Nestle the bottom of your avocado sapling in
it, root-side down.<br />
Cover the pit halfway with soil, so half the pit is still exposed.
Press down firmly on the soil to secure it. It should be standing up
straight, at attention.<br />
Pour a little water into the pot gently, because the soil hasn’t
settled yet. And…you did it! Set your tree in a sunny window. Keep it
watered, and watch it grow!<br />
<h2>
Tips for caring for your avocado tree</h2>
<strong>Where should I keep my avocado tree?<br />
</strong>Avocado trees like warm, sunny spots. If your tree doesn’t get
enough light, it will get leggy (i.e. all stem, few leaves). Depending
on where you live, you should be able to keep your tree outside in a
sunny spot. If the temperature ever drops below about 45 degrees F,
bring it back inside.<br />
<strong>How often should I water my avocado tree?</strong><br />
Water it enough to keep the soil moist, but not muddy. You never want
your tree sitting in a puddle of water once you’ve potted it.<br />
If your leaves start to turn yellow, it’s a sure sign it’s getting
too much water. If this happens, stop watering it for a few days until
the soil dries out a little.<br />
<strong>Should I ever pinch off any leaves?</strong><br />
Yes. When your tree is about 7-8 inches tall and ready for potting,
pinch off the top few leaves. This will encourage your tree to branch
out and be nice and bushy.<br />
<strong>Will my avocado tree bear fruit?<br />
</strong>Now, if you grow an avocado tree, it’s unlikely that it will ever bear fruit.<br />
From what I’ve gathered from my (admittedly uncomprehensive and
unscientific) research, you need to graft a piece of a fruit-bearing
tree on to your seedling. I’m an avid and enthusiastic kitchen gardener,
but sadly my botanical knowledge ends there.<br />

</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After more than half a century in the industry, the veteran <a class="taxInlineTagLink" href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/economy-business-finance/media-industry/television-industry/abc-%28tv-network%29-ORCRP000009600.topic" id="ORCRP000009600" title="ABC (tv network)">ABC</a>
News anchor plans to retire next summer, an ABC spokesperson confirmed
to The Times on Sunday night. Walters, 83, is set to make it official
Monday morning on “The View.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And the network plans to make good use of her while it can. The
legendary TV personality will continue to anchor and report for ABC as
well as continue to appear on “The View” and anchor specials throughout
the year.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><strong></strong>“I am very happy with my decision and look forward
to a wonderful and special year ahead both on ‘The View’ and with ABC
News,” she said in a statement issued by the network Sunday night. “I
created ‘The View’ and am delighted it will last beyond my leaving it.”
Walters will retain her executive producer role on the long-running
weekday gabfest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Walters has been a pioneer for women in the television industry.
After working her way up from a researcher for NBC’s “Today” show to
become co-host of the morning program, she left her 15-year stint at NBC
and moved over to ABC, where she would become the first woman to host
an evening newscast, teaming with Harry Reasoner on the "ABC Evening
News" in 1976. It was the start of a 37-year relationship with the
network, which would include co-hosting the evening newsmagazine “20/20”
and hosting numerous celebrity-interview specials in prime time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Many Asian English speakers accidentally switch the English "R" and "L." This can lead to cute and funny pronunciation</span><span> and spelling. For example:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><br /><span style="background-color: orange;">RICE <span style="background-color: white;">become </span>LICE</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: orange;"><span>SURPRISE <span style="background-color: white;">becomes </span>SUPPLIES </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>In some cases, one letter missing can make a big, very vulgar mistake.... <span style="background-color: yellow;">COUNTRY <span style="background-color: white;">becomes </span>CUNTRY... </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Po48DgaLZcw/UZBj_ty53ZI/AAAAAAAACO4/rzmo4YHHVEs/s1600/hC291887D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Po48DgaLZcw/UZBj_ty53ZI/AAAAAAAACO4/rzmo4YHHVEs/s320/hC291887D.jpg" width="320" /></a> But on the whole, ENGRISH is much more often about the VERY CONFUSING English that computer translation gives us. It is very hard to translate Japanese to English directly, and computers just aren't very good at it. <span style="background-color: #e06666;">CHILD SHREDDED </span><span style="background-color: #e06666;">MEAT</span>, probably is meant to mean shredded meat for babies... </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here are some more examples of HILLARIOUS Engrish... Can you see what's wrong with the following pictures?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So last time we talked about the WORD, now lets look at the HISTORY of the most versatile word in the English language! </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are many many different theories about where FUCK comes from... Some people say it has a GERMAN origin. Others claim a LATIN/ROMANCE-LANGUAGE base (ie. French, Italian, etc)...</span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">FUCK is OLD! </span></span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Some scholars say that fuck first arrived in the English language in the year 1475, while others cite examples of the word FUCKER from the 1200s!! </span></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tuaJMk3yJS4/UYZTOHjaG2I/AAAAAAAACNk/M2Qe6AF3DEA/s1600/Poster_FP_ANGRY_BIRDS_flip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tuaJMk3yJS4/UYZTOHjaG2I/AAAAAAAACNk/M2Qe6AF3DEA/s320/Poster_FP_ANGRY_BIRDS_flip.jpg" width="213" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">From German?...</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The word has probable cognates in Germanic languages, such as German ficken (to fuck); Dutch fokken (to breed, to strike, to beget); dialectal Norwegian fukka (to copulate), and dialectal Swedish focka (to strike, to copulate) and fock (penis).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;">From Latin?... </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There is also possibly a kinship with the Latin futuere (futuo), a verb with almost exactly the same meaning as the English verb "to fuck". From fūtuere came French foutre, Catalan fotre, Italian fottere, Romanian futere, vulgar peninsular Spanish follar and joder, Portuguese foder... etc.</span></span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">50. Key lime pie</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="50.Key Lime Pie" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-50.key-lime-pie_andy-newmanflorida-keys-news-bureau-via-getty-images.jpg?itok=CfKWL0RI" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">More than 200 years old and still a national favorite.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If life gives you limes, don’t make limeade, make a Key lime pie. The
official state pie of Florida, this sassy tart has made herself a
worldwide reputation, which started in -- where else? -- the Florida
Keys, from whence come the tiny limes that gave the pie its name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Aunt Sally, a cook for Florida’s first self-made millionaire, ship
salvager William Curry, gets the credit for making the first Key lime
pie in the late 1800s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But you might also thank Florida sponge fisherman for likely
originating the concoction of key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk,
and egg yolks, which could be “cooked” (by a thickening chemical
reaction of the ingredients) at sea.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">49. Tater tots</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We love French fries, but for a variation on the potato theme, one
beloved at Sonic drive-ins and school cafeterias everywhere, consider
the Tater Tot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Notice it often has the registered trademark -- these commercial hash
brown cylinders are indeed proprietary to the Ore-Ida company. If you’d
been one of the Grigg brothers who founded Ore-Ida, you’d have wanted
to come up with something to do with leftover slivers of cut-up
potatoes, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They added some flour and seasoning and shaped the mash into tiny
tots and put them on the market in 1956. A little more than 50 years
later, America is eating about 32 million kilos of these taters
annually.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">48. San Francisco sourdough bread</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="49. San Francisco Sourdough Bread" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-49.-san-francisco-sourdough-bread_justin-sullivangetty-images.jpg?itok=la3XEB5Y" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Baguettes, U.S. style. Bigger, badder, sourer. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sourdough’s as old as the pyramids and not coincidentally was eaten
in ancient Egypt. But the hands-down American favorite, and the sourest
variety, comes from San Francisco.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As much a part of NoCal culinary culture as Napa Valley wine,
sourdough bread’s been a staple since Gold Rush days. Once upon a
frontier time, miners (called “sourdoughs” for surviving on the stuff)
and settlers carried sourdough starter (more reliable than other
leavening) in pouches around their necks or on their belts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thank goodness that’s not the way they do it at Boudin Bakery, which
has been turning out the bread that bites back in the City by the Bay
since 1849.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">47. Cobb salad</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The chef’s salad originated back East, but salad innovators out west weren’t going to be outdone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In 1937, Bob Cobb, the owner of The Brown Derby, was scrounging
around at the restaurant’s North Vine location for a meal for Sid
Grauman of Grauman’s Theater when he put together a salad with what he
found in the fridge: a head of lettuce, an avocado, some romaine,
watercress, tomatoes, some cold chicken breast, a hard-boiled egg,
chives, cheese, and some old-fashioned French dressing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Brown Derby lore says, “He started chopping. Added some crisp bacon,
swiped from a busy chef.” The salad went onto the menu and straight into
the heart of Hollywood.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">46. Pot roast</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The childhood Sunday family dinner of baby boomers everywhere, pot
roast claims a sentimental favorite place in the top 10 of American
comfort foods. There’s a whole generation that would be lost without it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Beef brisket, bottom or top round, or chuck set in a deep roasting
pan with potatoes, carrots, onions, and whatever else your mom threw in
to be infused with the meat’s simmering juices, the pot roast could be
anointed with red wine or even beer, then covered and cooked on the
stovetop or in the oven.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">45. Twinkies</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="44. Twinkies" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-44.-twinkies_paul-j.-richardsafpgetty-images.jpg?itok=McaIFYaY" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">So good, the shelf life of 25 days has never been tested.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hostess’ iconic “Golden Sponge Cake with Creamy Filling” has been
sugaring us up since James Dewar invented it at the Continental Baking
Company in Schiller Park, Illinois, in 1930.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The Twinkie forsook its original banana cream filling for vanilla
when bananas were scarce during World War II. As if they weren’t
ridiculously good enough already, the Texas State Fair started the fad
of deep-frying them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dumped in hot oil or simply torn from their packaging, Twinkies
endear with their name (inspired by a billboard advertising Twinkle Toe
Shoes), their ladyfinger shape (pierced three times to inject the
filling), and their evocations of lunchtime recess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Note to hoarders: supposed shelf life of decades is in truth 25 days.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">44. Jerky</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dehydrated meat shriveled almost beyond recognition -- an unlikely
source of so much gustatory pleasure, but jerky is a high-protein
favorite of backpackers, road trippers, and snackers everywhere.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We like the creation myth that says it’s the direct descendant of
American Indian pemmican, which mixed fire-cured meat with animal fat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Beef, turkey, chicken, venison, buffalo, even ostrich, alligator,
yak, and emu. Peppered, barbecued, hickory-smoked, honey glazed.
Flavored with teriyaki, jalapeno, lemon pepper, chili.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jerky is so versatile and portable and packs such nutritional power
that the Army is experimenting with jerky sticks that have the caffeine
equivalent of a cup of coffee.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However you take your jerky -- caf or decaf; in strips, chips, or
shreds -- prepare to chew long and hard. You’ve still got your own
teeth, right?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">43. Fajitas</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="42. Fajitas" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-42.-fajitas_justin-sullivangetty-images.jpg?itok=P3XwEL7I" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Cowboy cuisine comes good.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Take some vaqueros working on the range and the cattle slaughtered to
feed them. Throw in the throwaway cuts of meat as part of the hands’
take-home pay, and let cowboy ingenuity go to work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Grill skirt steak (faja in Spanish) over the campfire, wrap in a
tortilla, and you’ve got the beginning of a Rio Grande region tradition.
The fajita is thought to have come off the range and into popular
culture when a certain Sonny Falcon began operating fajita taco stands
at outdoor events and rodeos in Texas beginning in 1969.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It wasn’t long before the dish was making its way onto menus in the
Lone Star State and spreading with its beloved array of condiments --
grilled onions and green pepper, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and
sour cream -- across the country. Don’t forget the Altoids.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">42. Banana split</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Like the banana makes it good for you. Still, kudos to whomever invented the variation of the sundae known as the banana split.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There’s the 1904 Latrobe, Pennsylvania, story, in which future
optometrist David Strickler was experimenting with sundaes at a pharmacy
soda fountain, split a banana lengthwise, and put it in a long boat
dish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And the 1907 Wilmington, Ohio, story, wherein restaurant owner Ernest
Hazard came up with it to draw students from a nearby college.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fame spread after a Walgreens in Chicago made the split its signature dessert in the 1920s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whatever the history, you’ll find plenty food for thought at the Banana Split Festival the second weekend in June in Wilmington.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">41. Cornbread</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="41.Cornbread" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-41.cornbread_miguel-gutierrezafpgetty-images.jpg?itok=qXgpJ3o9" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">World's easiest meal?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s one of the pillars of Southern cooking, but cornbread is the
soul food of many a culture -- black, white, and Native American -- and
not just south of the Mason-Dixon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Grind corn coarsely and you’ve got grits; soak kernels in alkali, and
you’ve got hominy (which we encourage you to cook up into posole).
Leaven finely ground cornmeal with baking powder, and you’ve got
cornbread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Southern hushpuppies and corn pone, New England johnnycakes; cooked
in a skillet or in muffin tins; flavored with cheese, herbs, or
jalapeños -- cornbread in any incarnation remains the quick and easy
go-to bread that historically made it a favorite of Indian and pioneer
mothers and keeps it on tables across the country today.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">40. GORP</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“Good Old Raisins and Peanuts,” GORP is the energy salvation of
backpackers everywhere. Centuries before trail mix came by the bag and
the bin, it was eaten in Europe, where hiking’s practically a national
pastime.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The thing to remember here is that the stuff is rocket fuel. Add all
the granola, seeds, nuts, dried fruit, candied ginger, and M&Ms you
want. Just be sure to store in a bear-proof canister because suspending
from a branch in a nylon sack isn’t going to do it.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">39. Jambalaya</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="39. Jambalaya" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-39.-jambalayacheryl-gerbergetty-images.jpg?itok=na40t0mS" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Tastiest way to clean out your kitchen cupboards.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jambalaya, crawfish pie, file gumbo … what dish could be so evocative
that it inspired Hank Williams to write a party song for it in 1952 and
dozens more to cover it (including everyone from Jo Stafford to
Credence Clearwater Revival to Emmylou Harris)?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The sweep-up-the-kitchen cousin of Spanish paella, jambalaya comes in
red (Creole, with tomatoes) and brown (Cajun, without). Made with meat,
vegetables (a trinity of celery, peppers, and onions), and rice,
Louisiana’s signature dish might be most memorable when made with shrimp
and andouille sausage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whatever the color and secret ingredients, you can be sure of one
thing when you sit down with friends to a big bowlful: son of a gun,
gonna have big fun on the bayou.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">38. Biscuits ’n’ gravy</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">An irresistible Southern favorite, biscuits and gravy would be a
cliché if they weren’t so darned delicious. The biscuits are
traditionally made with butter or lard and buttermilk; the milk (or
“sawmill” or country) gravy with meat drippings and (usually) chunks of
good fresh pork sausage and black pepper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cheap and requiring only widely available ingredients, a meal of
biscuits and gravy was a filling way for slaves and sharecroppers to
face a hard day in the fields.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“The Southern way with gravies was born of privation. When folks are
poor, they make do. Which means folks make gravy,” says The Southern
Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook. The soul, you might say, of soul
food.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">37. Smithfield ham</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="38.Smithfireld Ham" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-38.smithfireld-ham_alain-jocardafpgetty-images.jpg?itok=fwCx82n7" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Orwell was right -- pigs do rule.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“Ham, history, and hospitality.” That’s the motto of Smithfield,
Virginia, the Smithfield of Smithfield Virginia ham. Notice “ham” comes
before history, which really says something considering this hamlet of
8,100 was first colonized in 1634.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Epicenter of curing and production of a head-spinning number of hogs,
Smithfield comes by the title Ham Capital of the World honestly: lots
of ham is called Virginia, but there’s only one Smithfield, as defined
by a 1926 law that says it must be processed within the city limits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The original country style American ham was dry cured for
preservation; salty and hard, it could keep until soaked in water (to
remove the salt and reconstitute) before cooking. The deliciously
authentic cured Virginia country ham happens to have been the favorite
of that famous Virginian, Thomas Jefferson.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">36. Chicken fried steak</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A guilty pleasure if there ever was one, chicken fried steak was born
to go with all-American sides like mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A slab of tenderized steak breaded in seasoned flour and pan fried,
it’s kin to the Weiner Schnitzel brought to Texas by Austrian and German
immigrants, who adapted their veal recipe to use the bountiful beef
found in Texas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lamesa, on the cattle-ranching South Texas plains, claims to be the
birthplace of the dish, but John “White Gravy” Neutzling of Lone Star
State cowboy town of Bandera insisted he invented it. Do you care, or do
you just want to ladle on that peppery white gravy and dig in?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">35. Wild Alaska salmon</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="37. Wild Alaska Salmon" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-37.-wild-alaska-salmon_justin-sullivangetty-images.jpg?itok=Q6mbeGMa" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">The slowest swimmers taste the best. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Guys risk life and limb fishing for this delish superfood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Unlike Atlantic salmon, which is 99.8 percent farmed, Alaska salmon
is wild, which means the fish live free and eat clean -- all the better
to glaze with Dijon mustard or real maple syrup. Alaska salmon season
coincides with their return to spawning streams (it’s an amazing sense
of smell that guides them to the exact spot where they were born).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Worry not: before fishing season, state biologists ensure that plenty
of salmon have already passed upstream to lay eggs. But let’s get to
that cedar plank, the preferred method of cooking for the many Pacific
Northwest Indian tribes whose mythologies and diets include salmon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Use red cedar (it has no preservatives), and cook slow, for that
rich, smoky flavor. Barring that, there’s always lox and bagels.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">34. California roll</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So much more than the gateway sushi, the California roll isn’t just
for wimps who can’t go it raw. But that’s essentially the way it got its
start in Los Angeles, where sushi chefs from Japan were trying to gain a
beachhead in the late 1960s/early 1970s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Most credit chef Manashita Ichiro and his assistant Mashita Ichiro,
at L.A.’s Tokyo Kaikan restaurant, which had one of the country’s first
sushi bars, with creating the “inside out” roll that preempted
Americans’ aversions by putting the nori (seaweed) on the inside of the
rice and substituting avocado for toro (raw fatty tuna).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The avocado-crab-cucumber roll became a hit, and from that SoCal
beachhead, sushi conquered the country. After leading the charge for the
sushi invasion of the 1980s, the California roll now occupies grocery
stores everywhere. Wasabi anyone?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">33. Meatloaf</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="34. Meat loaf" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-34.-meat-loafchristof-koepselbongartsgetty-images.jpg?itok=0NuBZtyo" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Meatloaf -- made with the love of millions of mothers every day.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The most humble of comfort food. Who would have imagined when the
recipe for “Cannelon of Beef” showed up in Fannie Farmer’s 1918 "Boston
Cooking School Cook Book" that every mom in America would someday have
her own version?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fannie made hers with slices of salt pork laid over the top and
served it with brown mushroom sauce. (In her day, you had to cut the
meat finely by hand; the advent of commercial grinders changed all
that.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However your mom made it -- we’re guessing ketchup on top? -- she
probably served that oh-so-reliable meatloaf with mashed potatoes and
green beans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And you were probably made to sit there, all night if need be, if you
didn’t eat all your beans. A better threat might have been no meatloaf
sandwich in your lunch tomorrow.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">32. Grits</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">People who didn’t grow up eating them wonder what the heck they are.
People who did grow up eating them (and that would be just about
everyone in the South) wonder how anyone could live without them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Grits, beloved and misunderstood -- and American down to their Native
roots. They’re the favored hot breakfast in the so-called Grits Belt,
which girdles everything from Virginia to Texas and where the dish is a
standard offering on diner menus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Grits are nothing if not versatile: They can go plain, savory, or
sweet; pan-fried or porridge-like. Simple and cheap, grits are also
profoundly satisfying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Which might be why Charleston’s The Post and Courier opined in 1952
that “Given enough [grits], the inhabitants of planet Earth would have
nothing to fight about. A man full of [grits] is a man of peace.” Now
don’t that just butter your grits?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">31. Macaroni and cheese</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The ultimate comfort food, macaroni and cheese is also the salvation of many a mom placating a finicky toddler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Nothing particularly American about pasta and cheese -- except for
the fact that on a European trip, Thomas Jefferson liked a certain
noodle dish so much he took notes and had it served back home at a state
dinner as “macaroni pie.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jefferson’s cousin Mary Randolph included a recipe for “macaroni and
cheese” in her 1824 cookbook "The Virginia Housewife." So whether you’re
eating a gourmet version by one of the countless chefs who’ve put their
own spin on it, or just digging like a desperado in the pantry for that
box of Kraft, give mac and cheese its patriotic props.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">30. Maryland crabcakes</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The Chesapeake Bay yields more than just the regatta-loving suntanned
class in their sock-free topsiders. It’s the home habitat of the blue
crab, which both Maryland and Virginia claim as their own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Boardwalk style (mixed with fillers and served on a bun) or
restaurant/gourmet style; fried, broiled, or baked, crab cakes can be
made with any kind of crab, but the blue crabs of Chesapeake Bay are
preferred for both tradition and taste.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Baltimore magazine rounded up the best places to get the city’s
signature food, editors declared simplicity the key, while lamenting the
fact that most crabmeat doesn’t even come from home turf these days.
Kind of makes you crabby, doesn’t it?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We have a high-maintenance resort guest to thank for America’s hands-down favorite snack.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Saratoga Springs, New York, 1853: American Indian chef George Crum is
in the kitchen at the elegant Moon Lake Lodge. A persnickety customer
sends back his French fries (then highfalutin fare eaten with a fork)
for being too thick. Crum makes a second, thinner, order.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Still too thick for the picky diner. Annoyed, Crum makes the next
batch with a little attitude, slicing the potatoes so thin, the crispy
things can’t possibly be picked up with a fork. Surprise: the wafer-thin
fried potatoes are a hit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Traveling salesman Herman Lay sold them out of the trunk of his car
before founding Lay’s Potato Chips, the first nationally marketed brand.
Lay’s would ultimately merge in 1961 with Frito to create the snack
behemoth Frito-Lay.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">28. Cioppino</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">San Francisco’s answer to French bouillabaisse, cioppino (cho-pea-no)
is fish stew with an Italian flair. It’s been around since the late
1800s, when Portuguese and Italian fishermen who settled the North Beach
section of the city brought their on-board catch-of-the-day stew back
to land and area restaurants picked up on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cooked in a tomato base with wine and spices and chopped fish
(whatever was plentiful, but almost always crab), cioppino probably
takes its name from the classic fish stew of Italy’s Liguria region,
where many Gold Rush era fishermen came from.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Get a memorable bowl at Sotto Mare in North Beach, Scoma’s on
Fisherman’s Wharf, and Anchor Oyster Bar in the Castro District. Don’t
feel bad about going with the “lazy man’s” cioppino -- it only means
you’re not going to spend half the meal cracking shellfish.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">27. Fortune cookies</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Culinary snobs like to look down their holier-than-thou chopsticks at
ABC (American-born Chinese) food, but we're not afraid to stand up for
the honor of such North American favorites as General Tso's chicken,
Mongolian beef, broccoli beef, lemon chicken, deep-fried spring rolls
and that nuclear orange sauce that covers sweet-and-sour anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the seminal symbol of all great American-born Chinese grub,
however, we salute the mighty fortune cookie. Almost certainly invented
in California in the early 1900s (origin stories vary between San
Francisco, Los Angeles and even Japan), the buttery sweet crescents are
now found in Chinese joints around the world ... <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/dining/16fort.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all" target="_blank">with the notable exception of China</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's OK -- the crunchy biscuits are still our favorite way to close out any Chinese meal.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">26. Peanut butter sandwich</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="29.Peanut butter and banana" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-29.peanut-butter-and-banana_mario-tamagettty-images.jpg?itok=cPCQx_Dd" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">If it's good enough for the King ...</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Creamy or chunky? To each his own, but everybody -- except those
afflicted with the dreaded and dangerous peanut allergy and the moms who
worry sick about them -- loves a good peanut butter sandwich.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First served to clients at Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s sanatorium in
Battle Creek, Michigan, peanut paste was improved upon when chemist
Joseph Rosefield added hydrogenated vegetable oil and called his spread
Skippy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That was 1922; not quite 100 years later, peanut butter is an
American mainstay, often paired with jelly for that lunchbox workhorse
the PB&J. For a rocking alternative, try peanut butter sandwiches
the way Elvis Presley liked them: with ripe mashed bananas, grilled in
butter.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">25. Baked beans</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s not a cookout, potluck, or the end of a long day in the saddle
without a bubbling pot full of them. Just ask the Pioneer Woman, who
waxes rhapsodic about the baked-bean recipe on her site (not a version
with little weenies, but how fun are they?).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Yummy and plenty historical. Long before Bostonians were baking their
navy beans for hours in molasses -- and earning the nickname Beantown
in the process -- New England Indians were mixing beans with maple syrup
and bear fat and putting them in a hole in the ground for slow cooking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Favored on the frontier for being cheap and portable, chuck wagon, or
cowboy, beans will forever live hilariously in popular culture as the
catalyst behind the "Blazing Saddles" campfire scene, which you can
review in unabashed immaturity on YouTube.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">24. Popcorn</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="26.Popcorn" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-26.popcorn_paul-hawthornegetty-images.jpg?itok=aURwcfYh" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Movie theaters have a lot to be thankful for. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the imperative on the Orville Redenbacher site urges: “All hail
the super snack.” The bow-tied entrepreneur pitched his popcorn tent in
Valparaiso, Indiana, which celebrates its heritage at the Valparaiso
Popcorn Festival the first Saturday after Labor Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s just one of several Midwestern corn belt towns that vie for the
title of Popcorn Capital of the World, but centuries before Orville’s
obsession aromatically inflated in microwaves or Jiffy Pop magically
expanded on stovetops, Native Americans in New Mexico discovered corn
could be popped — way back in 3600 B.C.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to <a href="http://www.popcorn.org/" target="_blank">www.popcorn.org</a>, Americans currently consume about 15 billion liters a year; that’s 48 liters per man, woman, and child.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">23. Fried chicken and waffles</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Scottish immigrants brought the deep-fry method across the pond, and
it was good old Colonel Saunders who really locked in on the commercial
potential in 1930 when he started pressure-frying chicken breaded in his
secret spices at his service station in Corbin, Kentucky, paving the
way for Kentucky Fried and all the other fried chickens to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Nuggets, fingers, popcorn, bites, patties -- one of our all-time
favorite ways to eat fried chicken is with waffles. And one of our
favorite places to eat it is at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Immortalized in "Pulp Fiction" and "Swingers," the L.A. institution
got the soul-food seal of approval when Obama himself related to Jay
Leno on "The Tonight Show" that he’d popped in for some wings and
waffles and downed them in the presidential limo.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">22. New England clam chowder</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="24.New England Clam Cowder" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-24.new-england-clam-cowder_andrew-h.-walkergetty-images.jpg?itok=8wrAP5DF" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Creamy, oniony, clammy ... more please. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gone are the days when Catholics religiously abstained from eating
meat on Fridays, but you’ll still find clam chowder traditionally served
in some East Coast locales -- not that it reminds anyone of penance
these days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are time-honored versions of chowder from Maine to Florida, but
the most famous and favorite has to be New England style: creamy white
with potatoes and onions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There’s Manhattan: clear with tomatoes. And there’s even Minorcan
(from around St. Augustine, Florida): spicy with hot datil pepper. The
variations on East Coast clam chowder are deliciously numerous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Even the West Coast has a version (with salmon instead of pork). With
your fistful of oyster crackers ready to dump in, you might stop to
wonder: What were the Pilgrims thinking when they fed clams to their
hogs?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">21. New Mexican flat enchiladas</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was the pre-Columbian Maya who invented tortillas, and apparently
the Aztecs who started wrapping them around bits of fish and meat. You
have only to go to any Mexican or Tex-Mex place to see what those
ancients wrought when someone dipped tortillas “en chile” (hence, the
name).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“Flat” (the stacked New Mexico style) or rolled, smothered in red
chili sauce or green (or both, for “Christmas” style), enchiladas are
the source of much cultural pride in the Land of Enchantment; they’re
particularly enchanting made with the state’s famed blue-corn tortillas
-- fried egg on top optional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have a giant flat red one in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the last weekend
in September at the Whole Enchilada Fiesta, where the main event is the
making and partaking of the world’s biggest enchilada.</span><br />

past: s’mores. Gooey, melty, warm, and sweet -- nothing nostalgically
evokes family vacations and carefree camping under the stars quite like
’em.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whether they were first to roast marshmallows and squish them between
graham crackers with a bar of chocolate no one seems to know, but the
Girl Scouts were the first to get the recipe down in the 1927 "Tramping
and Trailing with the Girl Scouts," transforming many a standard-issue
campfire into a quintessential experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Celebrate sweetly on August 10: It’s National S’mores Day. Get those marshmallow sticks sharpened.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">19. Lobster rolls</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Boiled or steamed alive -- animal cruelty some insist -- lobsters
practically define a great Down East occasion. And maybe nowhere more so
than in Maine, which provides 80 percent of the clawed creatures, and
where lobster shacks and lobster bakes are culinary institutions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Melted butter on knuckle, claw, or tail meat -- we love it simple.
But the perfect accompaniment to a salty sea air day in Vacationland
would have to be the lobster roll. Chunks of sweet lobster meat lightly
dressed with mayo or lemon or both, heaped in a buttered hot dog bun
makes for some seriously satisfying finger food.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fabulous finger-licking lobster time in Maine is during shack season,
May to October, and every August, when Rockland puts on its annual
lobster festival. Suggested soundtrack for a weekend of shacking: B-52s’
“Rock Lobster.”</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">18. Buffalo wings</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Long before Troy Aikman became pitchman for Wingstop, folks in
Buffalo, New York, were enjoying the hot and spicy wings that most agree
came into being by the hands of Teressa Bellissimo, who owned the
Anchor Bar and first tossed chicken wings in cayenne pepper hot sauce
and butter in 1964.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to Calvin Trillin, hot wings might have originated with
John Young, and his “mambo sauce” -- also in Buffalo. Either way, they
came from Buffalo, which, by the way, doesn’t call them Buffalo wings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you think your kitchen table or couch-in-front-of-football
represents the extreme in wing eating, think again: Every Labor Day
weekend, Buffalo celebrates its great contribution to the nation’s pub
grub with the Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the 2011 event, 85,000 people snarfed 37 tons of the things.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">17. Indian frybread</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you’ve had it at Indian Market in Santa Fe or to a powwow or
pueblo anywhere in the country, you’re probably salivating at the very
thought. Who would think that a flat chunk of leavened dough fried or
deep-fried could be so addictive?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tradition says it was the Navajo who created frybread with the flour,
sugar, salt, and lard given to them by the government when they were
relocated from Arizona to Bosque Redondo, New Mexico, 150 years ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Frybread’s a calorie bomb all right, but drizzled with honey or
topped with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and lettuce for an
Indian taco or all by its lonesome, it’s an American Indian staple not
to be missed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pork or beef, slathered or smoked -- we’re not about to wade into
which is more embraced, what’s more authentic, or even what needs more
napkins. There are cook-offs all over the country for your own judging
pleasure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But we will admit we’re partial to pork ribs. The Rib ’Cue Capital?
We’re not going to touch that one with a three-meter tong, either. We’ll
just follow signs of grinning pigs in the South, where the tradition of
gathering for barbecues dates to before the Civil War and serious
attention to the finer points of pork earn the region the title of the
Barbecue Belt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Outside of the belt, Texas smokes its way to a claim as a barbecue
(beef) epicenter -- check out the ’cue-rich town of Lockhart. And let’s
not forget Kansas City, where the sauce is the thing. But why debate it
when you can just eat it?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">15. BLT</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How many sandwiches get to go by their initials? When tomatoes come
into season, there’s hardly a better way to celebrate the bounty than
with a juicy bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Food guru John Mariani says the
BLT is the no. 2 favorite sandwich in the United States (after ham),
and it’s no. 1 in the United Kingdom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bread can be toasted or un, bacon crispy or limp, lettuce iceberg or
other (but iceberg is preferred for imparting crunch and no interfering
flavor), and mayo good quality or just forget about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Provenance of the BLT isn’t clear, but a remarkably similar club
sandwich showed up in the 1903 Good Housekeeping Everyday Cook Book.
Even if the sodium level gives the health-minded pause, the BLT tastes
like summer -- and who can resist that?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">According to a pie chart (seriously) from the American Pie Council,
apple really is our national favorite -- followed by pumpkin, chocolate,
lemon meringue and cherry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Not to burst the patriotic bubble, but it’s not American in its
origins. Food critic John Mariani dates the appearance of apple pies in
the United States to 1780, long after they were popular in England.
Apples aren’t even native to the continent; the Pilgrims brought seeds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So what’s the deal with the star-spangled association? The pie
council’s John Lehndorff explains: “When you say that something is ‘as
American as apple pie,’ what you're really saying is that the item came
to this country from elsewhere and was transformed into a distinctly
American experience.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And you’re saying Americans know something good enough to be an icon
when we eat it, with or without the cheddar cheese or vanilla ice cream
on top.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">13. Frito pie</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Even the most modest chili has legions of fans. Consider Kit Carson,
whose dying regret was that he didn’t have time for one more bowl. Or
the mysterious “La Dama de Azul,” a Spanish nun named Sister Mary of
Agreda, who reportedly never left her convent in Spain but came back
from one of her astral projections preaching Christianity to Indians in
the New World with their recipe for venison chili.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Less apocryphally, “chili queens” in 1880s San Antonio, Texas, sold
their spicy stew from stands, and the “San Antonio Chili Stand” at the
1893 Chicago world's fair secured chili’s nationwide fame.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We really love the American ingenuity that added corn chips and
cheddar cheese to make Frito pie, a kitschy delight you can order served
in the bag at the Five & Dime on the Santa Fe Plaza, the same
physical location of the original Woolworth’s lunch counter that came up
with it.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">12. Po’ boy</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="17. Po’ boy sandwich" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-17.-po-boy-sandwich_ethan-millergetty-images.jpg?itok=bNMqY6Ba" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Amazing Po’ boy sausages.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The muffaletta might be the signature sandwich of Crescent City, but the po’ boy is the “shotgun house of New Orleans cuisine.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The traditional Louisiana sub is said to have originated in 1929,
when Bennie and Clovis Martin -- both of whom had been streetcar
conductors and union members before opening the coffee shop that legend
says became the birthplace of the po’ boy -- supported striking
streetcar motormen and conductors with food. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">"We fed those men free of charge until the strike ended,” Bennie was
quoted. “Whenever we saw one of the striking men coming, one of us would
say, ‘Here comes another poor boy.’”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Enjoy the beloved everyman sandwich in its seemingly infinite variety
(the traditional fried oyster and shrimp can’t be beat) and fight the
encroachment of chain sub shops at the annual Oak Street Po-Boy Festival
in November. <i><a href="http://www.poboyfest.com/" target="_blank">www.poboyfest.com</a></i></span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">11. Green chili stew</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have pork and green chiles ever spent such delicious time together?
Green chile stew has been called the queen of the New Mexican winter
table, but we don’t need a cold winter day to eat this fragrant
favorite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We like it anytime -- so long as the Hatch chiles are roasted fresh. Order them from<a href="http://www.hatch-chile.com/" target="_blank"> Hatch Chile Express</a> in Hatch, New Mexico, the Chile Capital of the World; they come already roasted, peeled, deseeded, chopped, and frozen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Better yet, make the trip to green chile stew country and order up a
bowl. Whether you eat it in New Mexico at a table near a kiva fireplace
or at your own kitchen table, the aroma and taste are to die for, and
the comfort level remarkable on the resurrection scale.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">10. Chocolate-chip cookies</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="10.Chocolate Chip Cookies" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-10.chocolate-chip-cookies_stan-hondaafpgetty-images.jpg?itok=oM-1-kAo" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Chew-crunchy, yummy perfection.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today the name most associated with the killer cookie might be Mrs.
Fields, but we actually have Ruth Wakefield, who owned the Toll House
Inn, a popular spot for home cooking in 1930s Whitman, Massachusetts, to
thank for all spoon-licking love shared through chocolate chip cookies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Was Mrs. Wakefield making her Butter Drop Do cookies when, lacking
baker’s chocolate, she substituted a cut-up Nestle’s semisweet chocolate
bar? Or did the vibrations of a Hobart mixer knock some chocolate bars
off a shelf and into her sugar-cookie dough?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However chocolate chips ended up in the batter, a new cookie was
born. Andrew Nestle reputedly got the recipe from her -- it remains on
the package to this day -- and Wakefield got a lifetime supply of
chocolate chips. Can you feel the serotonin and endorphins releasing?</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">9. Blueberry cobbler</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also charmingly called slump, grunt, and buckle, cobbler got its
start with early oven-less colonists who came up with the
no-crust-on-the-bottom fruit dish that could cook in a pan or pot over a
fire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They might have been lofting a mocking revolutionary middle finger at
the mother country by making a sloppy American version of the refined
British steamed fruit and dough pudding. Cobblers become doubly American
when made with blueberries, which are native to North America (Maine
practically has a monopoly on them).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We love blueberries for how they sex up practically any crust, dough,
or batter, maybe most of all in cobblers and that other all-American
favorite, the blueberry muffin.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">8. Delmonico’s steak</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="7.Steak" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-7.steak_bruce-foreman_0.jpg?itok=hSYE3Vpx" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">If cows weren't meant to be grilled, why did God make them sizzle so deliciously?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are steakhouses all over the country but perhaps none so
storied -- with a universally acclaimed steak named for it no less -- as
the original Delmonico’s in New York.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first diner called by the French name restaurant, Delmonico’s
opened in 1837 with unheard-of things like printed menus, tablecloths,
private dining rooms, and lunch and dinner offerings. Among other
firsts, the restaurant served the “Delmonico Steak.” Whatever the
excellent cut (the current restaurant uses boneless rib eye), the term
Delmonico’s Steak has come to mean the best.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lightly seasoned with salt, basted with melted butter, and grilled
over a live fire, it’s traditionally served with a thin clear gravy and
Delmonico’s potatoes, made with cream, white pepper, Parmesan cheese,
and nutmeg -- a rumored favorite of Abraham Lincoln’s.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">7. Chicago-style pizza</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Naples gave us the first pizza, but the City of Big Shoulders (and
even bigger pizzas) gave us the deep dish. The legend goes that in 1943,
a visionary named Ike Sewell opened Uno’s Pizzeria in Chicago with the
idea that if you made it hearty enough, pizza, which up till then had
been considered a snack, could be eaten as a meal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whether he or his original chef Rudy Malnati originated it, one of
those patron saints of pizza made it deep and piled it high, filling a
tall buttery crust with lots of meat, cheese, tomato chunks, and
authentic Italian spices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thin-crust pizza made in a brick oven has its place, but if you lust for crust, nothing satisfies quite like Chicago-style.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">6. Nachos</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="23.Nachos" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-23.nachos_jonathan-danielgetty-images.jpg?itok=6Z4JpZg_" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">For snacking perfection, just add salsa and guacamole. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The bane of diets and the boon of happy hours -- could there be a
more perfect calorie-dense accompaniment to a pitcher of margaritas?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Less rhetorically: why does Piedras Negras, Mexico, just over the
border from Eagle Pass, Texas, host The International Nacho Festival and
the Biggest Nacho in the World Contest every October?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Because it was there that Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya invented nachos when a
gaggle of shopping wives of American soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan
arrived at the Victory Club restaurant after closing time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Maitre d’ Ignacio improvised something for the gals with what he had
on hand, christening his melty creation nachos especiales. From thence
they have gone forth across the border, the continent and the world.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">5. Philly cheese steak</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s a sandwich so greasy and hallowed in its hometown that the
posture you must adopt to eat it without ruining your clothes has a
name: “the Philadelphia Lean.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Made of “frizzled beef,” chopped while being grilled in grease, the
Philly cheese steak sandwich gets the rest of its greasy goodness from
onions and cheese (American, provolone, or Cheese Whiz), all of which is
laid into a long locally made Amoroso bun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pat and Harry Olivieri get the credit for making the first cheese
steaks (originally with pizza sauce -- cheese apparently came later,
courtesy of one of Pat’s cooks) and selling them from their hot dog
stand in south Philly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pat later opened Pat’s King of Steaks, which still operates today and
vies with rival Geno’s Steaks for the title of best cheese steak in
town.</span><br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. Hot dogs</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="16.Hot dogs" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-16.hot-dogsjim-watsonafpgetty-images.jpg?itok=Fjw4uAd8" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Designed so perfectly for the human mouth, it's rude to decline.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Nothing complements a baseball game or summer cookout quite like a
hot dog. For that we owe a debt to a similar sausage from Frankfurt,
Germany (hence, “frankfurter” and “frank”) and German immigrant Charles
Feltman, who is often credited with inventing the hot dog by using buns
to save on plates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But it was Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker’s hot dog stand on
Coney Island that turned the hot dog into an icon. Every Fourth of July
since 1916, the very same Nathan’s has put on the International Hot Dog
Eating Contest (current five-time winner Joey Chestnut took the title in
2011, downing 62 hot dogs and buns in the 10-minute face-stuffing).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Meanwhile in Windy City, the steamed or water-simmered all-beef
Chicago dog (Vienna Beef, please) is still being “dragged through the
garden” and served on a poppy seed bun -- absolutely without ketchup.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. Reuben sandwich</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Who knew sauerkraut could be so sexy? Was it the late-night
inspiration of grocer Reuben Kulakofsky, who improvised the eponymous
sandwich in 1925 to feed poker players at Omaha’s Blackstone Hotel? Or
perhaps the brainchild of Arnold Rueben, the German owner of New York’s
now-defunct Reuben’s Delicatessen, who came up with it in 1914?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The answer might be important for dictionary etymologies, but the
better part of the secret to the Reuben is not who it’s named after but
what it’s dressed with. Aficionados agree: no store-bought Russian or
Thousand Island -- the sauce needs to be homemade.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And you’ll want thick hand-sliced rye or pumpernickel, and good
pastrami or corned beef. Don’t have a serious deli near you? Go to <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/" target="_blank">www.foodnetwork.com</a>
and try the recipe from Ann Arbor, Michigan’s famed Zingerman’s deli --
proof you don’t have to be named Reuben to do this classic right.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. Cheeseburger</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Lunch counter, traditional, gourmet, sliders, Kobe. White Castle,
Whataburger, Burger King, In-N-Out, McDonald’s, Steak N’ Shake, Five
Guys, The Heart Attack Grill. It’s hard to believe, but it all began
with a simple mistake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Or so say the folks in Pasadena, California, who claims the classic
cheeseburger was born there in the late 1920s when a young chef at The
Rite Spot accidentally burned a burger and slapped on some cheese to
cover his blunder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Our favorite rendition might be the way they do cheeseburgers in New
Mexico: with green chilis, natch. Follow the Green Chile Cheeseburger
Trail at <a href="http://www.newmexico.org/greenchilecheeseburger" target="_blank">www.newmexico.org</a> (don’t miss them at Bobcat Bite and Bert’s Burger Bowl in Santa Fe).</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Thanksgiving dinner</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span class="inline-image inline_image_240x240"><img alt="1.Thanksgiving" src="http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/inline_image_240x240/public/2012/04/30/inline-1.thanksgiving_courtesy-park-hyatt-seoul.jpg?itok=j7zRfo5L" title="" /><span class="inline-image-caption in-captioninline_image_240x240">Home is wherever there's a turkey like this.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">No fancy centerpieces or long-simmering family squabbles at that
first Thanksgiving when the Pilgrims decided not to fast but to party
with the Wampanoag Indians in 1621 Plymouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Today we eschew the venison they most certainly ate, and we cram their three days of feasting into one gluttonous gorge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Indigestion notwithstanding, nothing tastes so good as that
quintessential all-American meal of turkey (roasted or deep-fried bird,
or tofurkey, or that weirdly popular Louisiana contribution turducken),
dressing (old loaf bread or cornbread, onion and celery, sausage, fruit,
chestnuts, oysters -- whatever your mom did, the sage was the thing),
cranberry sauce, mashed and sweet potatoes, that funky green bean
casserole with the French-fried onion rings on top, and pumpkin pie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Almost as iconic (and if you ask most kids, as delicious) is the
turkey TV dinner, the 1953 brainchild of a Swanson salesman looking to
use up 260 overestimated tons of frozen birds. No joke: He got the idea,
he said, from tidily packaged airplane food. We do love those
leftovers.</span><br />

So many news about serious of earthquakes occurred in last few days in japan.<br />こんにちは、今朝も地震に関するニュースが多くのTVで放送されていました。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">水曜日に地震があってから、日本各地で地震が起きていますね。</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How do people react during shakes usually? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">楽観主義なので、いつも地震が起きている瞬間は「まぁ大丈夫だろう」と余裕を取り繕って</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">揺れが収まるのを待つのですが、やはり本心は怖いです。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.10の東北大震災を思い出させるのか、アメリカを始め海外のニュースでも取り上げられています。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">for April 17</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.scpr.org/news/2013/04/17/36850/series-of-earthquakes-south-of-tokyo-1-in-northern/">http://www.scpr.org/news/2013/04/17/36850/series-of-earthquakes-south-of-tokyo-1-in-northern/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">for April 12</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-13/magnitude-63-earthquake-injures-24-in-japan/4627238">http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-13/magnitude-63-earthquake-injures-24-in-japan/4627238</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Actually when I was watching those news on TV that was my first time reminding scary truth "Fukushima nuclear plant is not only one we should warn of, there are many in other areas!!".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Facts and fears from occupying several plants in such small land suddenly came up in my mind, and they make me realize level of dangers in the worst situation if great earthquake hits whole Japan island considering to factories of Elec-power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2011年の震災直後に、東京に在住している外国籍の友人の多くが</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">「日本は、まだこの状況だと”危険”としか判断できないから」と主張して</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">近隣国の東南アジアや自分の国に避難していました。<br /><br />当時は「そんなパニックにならなくても日本なら平気だよ」と根拠もなく話していましたが、</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">個人的には、小さな揺れが長期にわたって続く方が、とても恐怖を覚えます。<br />今なら、彼らの主張していた気持ちが少しわかります。</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I really hope 大惨事 would never happen again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">天気もよくて陽気になりますね。やっぱり日本の"4月始まり"って、新しいことを始めるのにBest Seasonだな、と思います。気温もいいし、自然も芽吹いて豊かになるし、そのせいか人間もほのぼのしてるし。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, 今日は"花金"ですね。英語でも"Friday Night"が意味するのは</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1週間で仕事・学校が終わる日なので「よっしゃ、はっちゃけちゃおう」的な日ってことなんですよ。<br /><br />僕は映画が大好きな"Movie Freak ( 映画ヲタク )"なので、</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">今夜もワインを飲みながら映画を見ました。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">レンタルしたのだけれど、感情移入できなくて途中で飽きてしまったので</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">今日はOne of My favorite movie(お気に入りの映画のうちの一つ)を紹介します。</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Of course it is a Japanese movie, that is.....</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This movie got high scored review in foreign lands, especialy in Europe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A theme of this movie is how human being and other species can be survived together with no-battle ( no occupation for one elemental resource ), and it has great describing of character which is focusing on a position fated to stand middle of many relations as one depending pure existing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A main person from the film guy named ASHITAKA boned as a princess in a traditional small village is going to get involved with complex human connections, but his never-giving-up soul is really moving for me. It reminds me "How hero should be", and could not get exited in other American Heroism like deciding good/bad positions.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">近々、海外の劇団のオファーにスタジオジブリが賛同して、舞台化をするらしいです。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">僕は、必ず見に行こうと思います。</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">暖かくなると、ついついハメをはずしちゃう事もあるので、自宅で静かに映画もいいもんですよ。</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">みなさんよい週末を。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Have a great weekend, I wish for all!!! See you in next mumble! </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">東京で芝生でくつろげる場所は、とても少ないですね。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">暖かいこんな気候になってきたからこそ、感覚を思い出して寂しくなります。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I really miss hanging out in lawn field.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">でも、東京は土地が狭いから、公園で我慢するしかないですね。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">それでも、気持ちいいからenough, enough.<span style="font-size: x-small;">(充分, 充分)</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">アメリカは、どこにでも芝生(lawn)があるような気がします。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">住宅の敷地内にもあるし、屋外で気軽に過ごせる場があって便利。</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">フリーマーケットを週末に開いてみたり、BBQをやったり、ただ友達とダラダラしたり。 </span><br />
