The Last 8

Its was another busy week of state making, but I was determined to have this project done by the time Ethan went on trek. The Monday night before trek I finished. I know this is a project that I decided to take on, but it is such a relief to have it done. I think it is especially satisfying because I finished right in the middle of all the moving drama or packing, throwing, trying to find a place to live, and having Ethan gone for a week. It just nice to win one.

Louisiana: Shrimp Gumbo

Oklahoma: Corn Pudding

Montana: Bison Burgers

I decided that if I was going to do this right, I needed to actually suck it up and buy bison. It was pricey, but it was delicious and now I can say that I did all states right

Wyoming: Tin Foil Dinner

The official state meal for Wyoming is Rocky Mountain Oysters. If you don't know what those are, please look it up and applaud me for NOT making those. I still wanted to stay true to the Wyoming theme and so I decided that cowboy grub would be the best fit which led to tin foil dinners. We cooked them in the oven and so they were probably the best tin foil dinners either of us has ever had. I mean when the veggies actually cook, there are no sticks in the foil, and you don't have to wait for 4 hours, things are generally going to taste better.

Nebraska: Runza and Corn (Hand meat pies)

These kinda made us sick because there was so much bread involved. The filling was delicious but the bread was over powering which was kinda a bummer.

 

 Rhode Island: Johnny Cakes (cornmeal pancakes)

Texas: Chili con carne

A very spicy chili

Alabama: Fried Green Tomatoes

Surprisingly sweet. They are like biting into a zucchini with a fried crust

And that's all folks! I did it! All 50 states!
