Western USA

The American West is big country. It takes in the vast high plains, the rugged mountain states, the arid Southwest, and the verdant Pacific Northwest. The cuisine that has grown up here reflects this diversity. It can be as simple as a buffalo burger tossed on an open flame or as well-heeled as a wine dinner served in a fancy San Francisco restaurant. There’s spicy Southwest cuisine from Arizona and New Mexico and delicate Asian-inspired cuisine along the coastal stretches of California, Oregon, and Washington. And let’s not forget that here in the West the wild salmon makes its last stand. Yes, there’s much to the claim that the West is best.

Red Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Jessikah
This was a good base for mashed potatoes but I didn't make them exactly the same way. I used milk instead of half and half, and used white and red potatoes to get more fluff and less skin from the mixture. Finally, I put whole garlic when boiling the potatoes (BTW, I peeled the white but didn't peel the skin off of the red) and used Lawry's garlic salt and fresh grated onion (about 2 tablespoons) when mixing up the last bit of it. Hope some of my changes help someone else out. Oh, finally, I DID NOT add sugar.

Garbage Can Turkey

Reviewed on Nov. 19, 2008 by Jfive
If you use a wood dowel 3/4" and put a bunt cake pan at the bottom, it can catch the juices and make an awesome turkey. Did it last year and was great.
