Your only as good as your last recipe, how about Nicolosi's lasagna and house salad dressing?
that is the Biscuit Recipe.....No, these are the true Shipman biscuits.....add honey and butter and then let your mom smack you across the face for making such a mess...then you look over at your dad and everyone begins to laugh......I really liked the Ham Steak they had there also....
El Pollo Loco does make a good piece of burnt chicken...and usually they have a decent jalapeno to go with it. The beans suck...
In Santa Fe there's a few really good restaurants. The Pantry
is awesome but it's closed by 3pm. Another is La Choza. WOW!
I like the New Mexico Mex. Chile Rellanos! Excellente bel grande!
Does anyone have any memories and info on the Walnut Grove area of South OKC back in the 1950-60's?
It was a very impoverished area...without electricty, down on the river near the Walker bridge...almost a shanty town at some point...I was told by some Capitol Hill associates that people had lived there whole life there and never been to downtown OKC which they could see right across the river...

O.K., know where and what you're talking about now. We have had many discussions on this thread about Sand Town off of May Avenue. These areas were talked about under the titles of "Hoover Ville"....Some ways back and/or on the capitol Hill Threads there are some actual pictures of this. I don't remember the name of Walnut Grove but I do remember the area on Walker. My In-Laws own a business in that area and for a long time (1967-1970) there were still people living down there in Cardboard Boxed Shanties.....I'm Sure Carltonskeeper will eventually read this and shine some light on it to great depths.....

That's kinda what I was thinking. Most of the housing there was just tar paper shacks (shotgun houses). they would blow down and then the entire neighborhood would help rebuild....as time came and went they (the tenants) would find scraps of wood etc. and the houses would be slowly rebuilt. Now, around little Flower, there were houses built that are still there....
