Indiana

Situated between Illinois and Ohio and just below Michigan, the Hoosier State occupies the center of the Midwest. Incidentally, the original meaning of Hoosier is no great compliment: it means an ungainly, awkward yokel. But Indianans have unabashedly embraced the name. Hoosier is also the team name of Indiana University in Bloomington. A few Indiana culinary traditions include Persimmon pudding, Indiana chile (with beef and beans), and popcorn. About half of Indiana’s farmland is planted in corn, and Hoosiers have been popping kernels since Native Americans first taught them the trick. The Indianapolis 500, held every year over Memorial Day weekend, is one of America’s premiere tailgating events. Pre-race, fans can fuel up at Breakfast at the Brickyard and the annual Champions Pasta Dinner. And the winning driver of the Indy 500 traditionally hoists a big glass bottle of cold milk in the winner’s circle.

Chococonut Chip Cookies

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by BRIMAT143
A soft and yummy cookie. Not a very strong coconut flavor in my opinion but my family and friends thought they were perfect. One made the comment that it was like eating a Mounds candy bar. Will make again and might toast the coconut before hand to see if it enhances the coconut flavor.

Blueberry Buckle

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by BRIMAT143
Seemed bland like it was missing something. It was better warm with some butter on it. Reminded me of coffee cake only with blueberries. Not sure if some spices would help or maybe some extra vanilla...needs something though.
