Where it all began
When the culinary history of Arkansas City is written, it should include the name of Lucy Mora under the heading of "Mexican Food."
It was Mora, now a resident at Presbyterian Manor in Arkansas City, whose recipes for tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, refried bean, rice and salsa provided the staples for what probably was the first generation of the city's Mexican food aficionados in the 1960s before franchise restaurants.
At 86, the slightly built woman is battling Parkinson's but has eyes that twinkle when you mention the Green Door. It was a bar, owned by Wes Robinson, who offered her the setting for what rapidly became a one-room food delight. She started simply with a few dozen tacos sold over the bar initially.
"I didn't know how many to make, because I didn't know how popular they'd be," she said.

Chicken-fried steak recipe
Q: What is chicken-fried steak? I always thought it was chicken, but my husband says it is actually steak. Also, is it difficult to make? |-- Julie Valdez, via e-mail A: You're talking about one of my all-time favorites. As I understand, it was brought over by German immigrants in the 1800s. Probably in the manner of schnitzel (or cutlets), which always refers to meat (beef, pork or veal), pounded out in seasoned flour before pan-frying. Pound your favorite meat in flour with a kitchen mallet or the edge of a sturdy plate. Fry it in bacon grease and, after removing it from the pan, add some milk to the bacon grease to make a gravy. After you eat one of these, you're ready to go out and plow the back 40. This is real comfort food, not seen around here much but still very popular in the South.
City Life-Healthy Choices
While true that Hoboken boasts several gourmet health food stores and numerous yoga studios, New York City is the ultimate destination for finding healthy foods and taking care of yourself.
For example, a chain of stores called the Whole Foods Market are located near Union Square, Columbus Circle and in Chelsea. These stores provide a wide variety of organic products. Whole Foods Market resembles Hoboken's new Garden of Eden store, but is bigger, therefore providing a greater variety of baked goods and other healthy essentials.
In addition to healthy foods, the Chelsea Whole Foods Market has a separate store next door, Whole Body at Whole Foods Market, devoted to non-food items. The Whole Body store stocks vitamins and supplements. Exercise DVDs of all kinds, including yoga, tai chi and weight training can be found there.
