Fry Bread

[fairygoddess68]

MMMM..the hubs made fry bread....makes my house reek of hot oil (and not the fun body kind) but it is sooooo yummy!

AND I'm takin' the oldest daughter to see Wicked tonight! What a great day!

 

[KRCummings]

I wanna see Wicked. I don't care about the bread.

 

[redheadedtxn]

YOU WILL LOVE WICKED!

I was one of the lucky ones in Dallas that got to see it when it came thru town.

I've lived in this part of the country for close to a quarter-century and can't remember how many street fairs/carnivals/festivals I've been to when a vendor was offering fry bread or Navajo fry bread.
Never tried it.
What's it like?

I wanna see Wicked. I don't care about the bread.

You would if you ever had some. A little butter, a little cinnamon and sugar....oh hell yes!!!

I had a plain dinner pasta with red sauce a little cheese, fresh rolls and a pear.

I like what I can see of your dress in your AV did you make it?

 

[redheadedtxn]

I made a casserole with rice, cheese, green beans, and broccoli. Yummay.

Thanks! No...not that talented! My mom made it for a Princess Festival that I volunteer at every year. Had the sweetest little girl run up to me & start yelling that I was her favorite princess, Princess Fiona from Shrek! Still not quite sure whether or not to be insulted....but she was just so cute it was hard not to just laugh.

Oh that is cute, it was just the color and the style of the dress

I costume. It takes more patience than talent. The dress looks nicely made. Is it a gown and an overdress?

No, it's all one peice. I had a more authentic looking pattern, but ended up in a time crunch, so she just did her magic. She's amazing with her skills.

Too bad you didn't have more time. The nice things about gowns and overdresses you can mix and match. But it does take a lot of time. Being able to improvise is a skill. I have had it turn out really good and really bad before.

 

[fairygoddess68]

I do love a good Navajo taco!

The hubs is Sioux and the kind his dad has passed down to him is a bit different--it's thicker than the Navajo fry bread (or other fry breads that I've had)...but butter on them....and with texas chile...yummmmmmm... he likes to put cheese on his...Me not so much. I like butter...might have to try the cinnamon, that sounds like it could be awesome!

And Wicked...sigh. I cried. Theatre does that to me though. I get all wrapped up in it.

 

[Aquagal]

Yum. Sopapillas!

She's been sewing since she was 14, & when I was a kid, she worked in a sewing factory. The only clothes I had that came from a store growing up, were either handed down by a cousin or jeans. She couldn't quite get jeans not to look home made. But everyone thought the rest of my clothes were from the store. The best was when she made me a dress for a dance that looked better than the $150 one another girl wore as well. I've given her more time this year, so can't wait to see what it turns out like.

For something that is a wardrobe staple jeans are hard. I never make them. That's awesome you gave her more time I'm sure you'll be pleased. McCalls makes some cool historic patterns but if she has been doing that long she probably doesn't need a pattern. You'll have to post pics when she finishes

Makes dandy footwear as well!

I want to see Wicked so bad. I think I probably never will.

Frybread is evil, btw.

Your shoes are a little flakey.

I've tried making fry bread, but either I've fot a bad recipe or I'm not doing it right, or both. Who's got a good recipe?

I love it too. I can sew really well and I was going to make something almost identical to it for my wedding but became seriously ill for several months and ran out of time.

Jeans are a bastard to make. I have done them and they looked right, but the flat fell seams are a pain (that's the long seam down the outside with double stitching) and to get it right, you need to buy and insert the rivet, both things are hard to accomplish (at least in Aussie).

Frybread

Wow, if one grew up in the Four Corners of the Southwest United States, a person will have had eaten countless pieces of frybread in any form! It is good, but it is so bad, if one is trying to get in shape!
