HMMMM... IF ANTHONY BOURDAIN CAME TO GREENVILLE...

Today while reading a few blogs on WYFF's Sound off South Site (which this little blog is included on!), I found this blog post which posed the question of where you would take Anthony Bourdain if he were shooting his show in Greenville.

I found this idea intriguing... I love food... good food, that is!

(Since moving here a few years ago, I have found that there are alot of restaurants in Greenville... but not too many that I am fond of! no offense intended!)

I have 2 ideas:

#1. Focusing on the Diversity of Greenville's Foodscene (pick & choose)
a. the taco truck (Mexican) on Cedar Lane Road (only Fri, Sat & Sun nights)
b. Saffron (Indian) @ intersection of Woodruff Road & Miller Road
c. Korean BBQ (Korean) @ intersection of Woodruff Road & Miller Road also
d. Saigon Fast Food (Vietnamese) on Pleasantburg Road
e. Pita House (Middle Eastern\Lebanese) on Pleasantburg Road
f. Zamorah's (Southern\Soul\Meat &3) on Whitehorse Road
g. El Carretero (Colombian) on Laurens Road
h. Cositas Ricas (Colombian) on West Parker Road
i. Pomegranate On Main (Persian) on Main Street
j. Thai Restaurant (Thai) on Augusta Road

#2. "Greenville" spots
a. Tanners Big Orange (serving Greenville over 70 years)
b. Charlie's Steakhouse (serving Greenville over 80 years)
c. Handlebar (unique Greenville eatery)
d. Soby's (unique Greenville eatery)
e. brief overview Greenville's Main Street (restaurants & events)

so that is what I would suggest if Anthony Bourdain were to ask me where to go in Greenville!

BACK IN THE BLOGGING SADDLE...

I haven't posted lately due to a combination of not feeling well and then being busy. the babarian got a job! congrats, J!!! woo hoo

i joined a crockpot cooking group on ravelry (wow... you cab find a group for anything!) ... and so wanted to share what my family calls "sausage and spinach and can soup":

i brown a pound of breakfast sausage (i usually use neese's hot)

i "rough chop" an onion and toss into the browning sausage

open 4 cans italian diced tomatoes and 2 cans great white northern beans --- don't drain --- pour contents into crockpot

add the drained sausage and onions to the crockpot

cook on low for 4 to 6 hrs

about 30 minutes before you plan to eat... open crockpot and add a bag of baby spinach... stir in... put lid back on crockpot & let spinach wilt for last 30 minutes of cooking.

---------

this is an "easy" fix meal that i use when i just don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

yummy!
