White Trash Recipes

[Kathryn]

The ultimate is Cuppa-Cuppa-Cuppa, revealed by Truvy in Steel Magnolias:

"Oh hell, Clairee, you don’t need a recipe. It’s just a cup of flour, a cup of sugar and a cup of fruit cocktail WITH the syrup, stir and bake in a hot oven ‘til golden brown and bubbly. I serve it with ice cream to cut the sweetness."

My mother makes this - with a white trash twist:

1 box of yellow cake mix
1 large can of peaches with syrup - or any sort of fruit mixed up with a heck of a lot of sugar
1 stick of butter

Pour fruit into bottom of casserole dish.

Sprinkle cake mix over the top of the fruit.

Slice butter LENGTHWISE and lay it across the the cake mix.

Bake for about thirty minutes at 350.

Serve over Bryers Natural Vanilla ice cream (or, if you're in Texas - Bluebell ice cream!).

Now THAT'S larrapin'!

And if you know what larrapin' means, you've got at least a touch of coon *** in you.

The above recipe makes me feel like this:



(I took this picture in New Orleans a couple of days ago and if I may say so myself, I think it's excellent! Got lucky I guess.)

My goal in life is to be that colorful and vivacious and to have that attitude even while scrubbing the toilet.

I'm not there yet, but a girl can dream.

You're simply not taking the right drugs while housecleaning. At least, get a bit buzzed before tackling the bathroom.

Did we discuss fried baloney yet in this thread?

Fried bologna needs no discussion. It is a staple food, like flour, sugar, or milk are in that it is assumed they are always there.

If you are still the one scrubbing the toilets then there may be something wrong with your flogger.

1. Lookin' good Kathryn!

2. You got lucky with this gentleman in New Orleans? Should I tell your husband?

HARHARHHARHARHAHRAHR, then HE would be the one filing for divorce rather than me for a change!

Easy Spaghetti Sauce

1 can of pre-cooked beef
1 jar of pasta sauce

Heat in a skillet and serve hot

 

[Kathryn]

1. Stand in front of fridge.
2. Open door.
3. Remove can of whipping cream.
4. Open mouth wide.
5. Fill with whipping cream.
6. Go to pantry.
7. Grab can of peaches and open it while savoring the whipping cream in your mouth.
8. Stand at counter and alternate between spoonfuls of canned peaches and shots of whipping cream straight from the cans to your mouth.

Doesn't get much better than this. And it's strangely sensual.

Damn that sounds good. I just got back from New Orleans, by the way. Had some FANTASTIC gumbo at, of all places, the WW2 museum cafe!

But the best white trash food we ate was at the Galley in Metairie.

LOL!! My youngest son used to say he wanted a hot dog..but without the hot dog just the bun and ketchup only!

Many years ago I ordered a chili dog "with chili only" -- because I don't like yellow mustard -- and I was served a hotdog bun with chili on it. No hot dog.

Actually it's just as good that way.

Instant Roux powder

The day I'm too tired to make my own roux, I'll order a pizza.

Smoke I just love the way you keep up with this white trash thread.

I'm about to make some chicken salad - and I'll put sweet bread and butter pickles in it that are mixed with jalepeno peppers - chopped up big and chunky of course. Does that sound larrapin' or WHAT?

 

[Kathryn]

And I'll only use Hellman's real mayonnaise of course - miracle whip is too white trash even for me.

Easy pasta salad:

1 box of pasta shells, cooked and drained
1 bag of frozen oriental vegetables, thawed and drained
1 bottle of Caesar Ranch dressing

Mix it up and put it in the refrigerator the night before.

This is the only pasta salad I really like.

Yes ma'am! I can't frubal you again yet, but you got some frubals coming for using bread and butter pickles, too. Those details count.

I'd rather have nothing than Miracle Whip.

In South Carolina, though, it's Duke's Mayonnaise.

I once got stuck taking care of some guy I barely knew but who was way too drunk to go home, so I took him home with me and made up the couch for him.

"I'm going upstairs now," I said. "Is there anything you need before I do?"

"I need a fried egg sandwich with Duke's mayonnaise."

I don't think he knew his own name at that moment, but he knew he wanted Duke's mayonnaise.

I think this falls short of being an actual recipe, but I used to love this when I was a kid.

Frito Pie.

Open a small bag of Fritos.
Pour in a ladle of chili.

Eat it out of the bag with a spoon, or with your fingers if you just don't give a damn.

You can add cheese if you want to get fancy. This is as close as we got to nachos in my childhood.
