Are you sure it wasn't a figment of your imagination?

Re: In honor of the super easy indian chicken

hey - i'm quite fond of the upper right hand corner of the rectangle. i'll make no defense of the rest of the state, though. nice enough people, I'm sure, but really boring driving ...

My least favorite joke when I was in high school and would travel to national events was "How are Dorothy and Toto" - SO annoying. It really is a great state!

Re: In honor of the super easy indian chicken

Is the Kansas rectangle part of that stuff we fly over between the coasts? Am I to understand people LIVE there? Interesting.

If it weren't for the tornados to keep us on our toes, we'd probably drift into a permanent state of semi-consciousness.

I love Kansas. I can't vouch for the western half of the state, but I'm pretty attached to the rest of it. After we've lived in Albuquerque a few years, we may change our minds, but at this point we're looking forward to moving back.

I was just as shocked when I first heard of this phenomenon too.

Re: In honor of the super easy indian chicken

Having lived/grown up/worked in "the western part..." I can vouch that people actually live there, my parents still do.

Several years back some of the local Kansas area politicians met with some politicians from Oklahoma (the panhandle area), Colorado (the extreme eastern area), Texas (the panhandle area also) and a portion of New Mexico. There were great plans to create the ACTUAL 51st state...had to do with no being recognized....go figure.

I have to admit, during the end of June/beginning of July it is quite beautiful to watch the wheat harvest take place. Very hot and dirty mostly...but still very pretty.

Brings a whole new meaning to 'amber waves of grain'.

This is going to sound cheesy, but there are few things that make me feel more peaceful than driving along after a rain and seeing a colorful sunset against waving golden fields. In the Flint Hills, the fields look like green velvet, with black & white cows propped up all over them.

I know the views in our Albuquerque mountains will be breathtaking, but the Kansas rectangle will suck me back in, I'm sure.

How did we get from Indian cuisine to Kansas wheat fields?! :huh:

:hey: That was my fault.

Jenn/Jane is the one that introduced the easy indian chicken recipe to the group a while ago, and since this thread was touching on the Onion and that recipe, and she lives in KC, it made me think of that other Onion article.

And...now I have "Matthew" by John Denver running through my head, because it has a line in it about "Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field".

Re: In honor of the super easy indian chicken

Got it.

Love the Onion, love John Denver, love wheat fields... will have to try super easy indian chicken.

Hey, some people still think we have dirt streets with tumbleweeds blowing across.

We Alaskans always got questions about the igloos we live in and the whale blubber we eat.

I understand, I grew up in Mississippi and now live in New Jersey!
