I love the many foods of Texas and Louisiana. My natural love is smoking briskets. Second is Tex-Mex, followed by Cajun/Creole cooking. Texas style BBQ Brisket, cheese enchiladas, and ribs. Southern. I lived up north for a few years and they did not know how to use garlic and onions. It's great to be back down South again. I have been experimenting with the wonders of Pressure Cooking. It saves a lot of time. Cooking always seems to go wrong when the phone rings. It messes up the internal clock in my head and breaks the rythm in the kitchen.
