Day 16: What's a traditional meal from Oklahoma?
Tuesday, January 25, 2011
Last night our roommates cooked dinner for all 4 of us. Pollo con verduras y arroz (Chicken with vegetables and rice).
Although this wasn't a typical Colombian dish, we made plans to host a dinner. Some time in the future, they'll cook a traditional Colombian dinner and we'll reciprocate with a a traditional meal from Oklahoma.
But what do we cook as a traditional Oklahoma/American meal? Hot dog, hamburger, taco, etc.? Past a pecan pie or a rack of barbecue ribs (with a wet sauce of coarse), we don't know what to make that would constitutes an Oklahoman or American dish. We cooked all the time back home but it was things like pasta, steaks, pizza, fajitas, sausage and potatoes.
So we need you help. What should we make for our roommates? Are we overlooking something obvious? Without a grill, these are ideas we've come up with; Sloppy Joes, Chicken Fried Steak, or Onion Burgers.

Bobo's!!! lol... Chicken Fried Steak with some mashed taters, pork beans and rolls with some honey!! (Think Grandy's lol)
Tell Elizabeth to bake some ribs in the oven (the kind her Mom bakes) and cheese grits. Also some fresh veggies.
So far we've also had suggestions on Facebook for Fried Okra, Frito Chili Pie and baked beans. Problem may be finding the ingredients, we will have to start looking.
Pot roast!
