I am a true Southerner. My Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother and wife have NEVER fixed a casserole! My wife WAS a Yankee - she was born and raised in Dayton, OH - but I converted her to the Southern way of living on September 20, 1980! We traveled much in the north Evangelizing and ate plenty of those casseroles with little English peas and strange things in them. We also ate "Gu-losh" What in the world is that? Sounds like something horrible from Nazi Germany days! LOL :slaphappy

Oh yeah - Pray for me - my wife has been a southerner now for 27 years but still cannot make Southern Fried Chicken or make CAT HEAD BISCUITS!!!!!!!!!!

My wife can fry chicken both southern and cajun styles that would make Sanders and Emeril cry. And those cathead biscuits and fried cron bread fritters. Call the law.
And REAL chicken gravy. We are Gumbo and Collard Green missionaries to this Hoosierland.:happydance

STOP!!!! You're making my mouth water!!!!:friend

Blackeye peas and okra cooked together all those Southern delights. Fried everything and anything. Mexican corn bread. Red beans and rice. :happydance :happydance

WHEWWWWWWWWWWWW SOMETHING WE CAN AGREE ON!!!!!!!!!!
I love you Steve Epley! Fried Everything and Anything! YES!

Someone was telling me last week - You are way too big and it is not HEALTHY! I said - I have a great friend that walked 5 miles a day, ate hardly nothing, always working out, always on some kind of diet, thin and looking good - Now has bad knees and ankles from walking so much - two operations on insides - spleen, and other things cause HE AIN'T GETTIN NO FRIED FOOD!

I am FAT and HEALTHY!!!!!! Dr. Atkins died, some woman that had not any fat on her body - living day by day running up and down the road in those tight running outfits - she fell over dead in her 40's. The guy that invented that POWER BAR - Fell over dead, Pastor Jack Wilson pastored thousands in Detroit - major athlete - power lifter - nutritionist - NO FAT DIET - got out of his private jet and fell DEAD on the tarmac in his 40's.

Pass the Mashed Taters, Fried Okra, Mexican Corn Bread, Fried Peach Pie, Varsity Chili Dog, Onion Rings, Fried Catfish with Lots of Hush Puppies, Fried Shrimp, Fried Eggs and FRIED EVERYTHING!

Lord have mercy is that man preaching or what??????????????? Cows eat grass and I eat the cows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I am getting me herbs. I like my herbs battered and fried. :happydance
