I like Albuquerque.  Nice city.  Great "Old Town" and, one of my personal very favorite things, a lovely housing area that goes up the side of a mountain so from your patio and swimming pool, you can see the lights of the city below.  And it faces westerly, so wonderful sunsets, and a ski area right up behind you.

I could do Albuquerque pretty easily.  In fact, the more I think about it....

I live in Albuquerque.  I live up in that area that Jaymes speaks about...the foothills.  I can see the lights of the city at night..and I can see out to the desert as well.  As to the sunsets..  WOW.  

It isn't the best city around, by no means. I miss a lot. I used to live in the SF bay area.. and this in no way compares.  It is  not a food town, although some things are changing in that regard.  I am trying to have a hand in that...

Our Southern roots are ingrained, but we are more and more every day being inundated and saturated with all the wonderful cuisines from all around the world, the sushi and the greens and wok-cooking and tagine-cooking and so many luscious amalgams and mixtures and spices and grains---it seems selfish not to share and keep sharing the glorious table spread by Southern cooks, no matter what their locale.

I've been a member here only a year, and just recently began to post, but Southern tables have a history of being welcoming.  Just pull up a chair and make yourself at home.  

Julep or mimosa?

Mimosa please...at least for now.

This is my first post on this forum, and I joined after the mass exodus from that other food forum.  I have lurked and lurked here for a few years now.  And Rachel just drew me out.  

I am a G.R.I.T.S. girl. I grew up in Richmond, VA, til I went away to nursing school for a few years, then I returned home for a few more.  I then moved to the DC area, and  then out west. I moved back at one point to Kentucky, where I relished my past..and got to learn a few things.  Since then, I have moved back out west, and lived for a few years more in CA, and am now in New Mexico.  

Rachael,  you speak to my past and what I hold inside me. I always carry the south in me...  From the crackling sound of the ice cubes as the tea was poured over it,  to the wine jelly for the holidays...I grew up with it.  To the greens  that long simmered on my mothers stove..and the long cooked green beans..  To the sweet potato pies that my grandparents made for me each week, when I was in the hospital for long periods.    

Rachel, I am glad you drew me out.  I am so much blessed by the south..and what it heritage it leaves us.  Like James Villas says..it is the only true cuisine that this country has.
