lol..that is from Vacation....I thought Vacations were supposed to be relaxing...mine wasn't :eek:and ended up in the hospital a few days after getting home .I need a vacation from the vacation !
It is Hot and more Hot in the South ! We have been under a heat Advisory today...I'm waiting till just before sundown to go out in the garden to pick Butter Beans....meanwhile I'm browsing for new recipes to try.

I am so sorry to hear you had to go to the hospital, hope you are going to be OK! Tell us where did you vacation, and did you just over-do it and suffering from exhaustion wind up hospiatlized?

At any rate it is great to have you back, and sorry I did not find time to answer your post til now!

I am in North Georgia, still considered the south by all means and it's been hot here! What part of the south are you in? I have family all the way down by Mobile, Alabama; Shreveport, Louisiana; all the way up to St. Johnsbury, VT!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers, Cathy

Glad your back!

Thanks for the welcome back....No my hospital stay was not from the vacation....I had the worse Migraine I have ever have...suffered from those pesky things for years but meds usually controls them...but not this time.My blood pressure also went sky high.

We went to Branson Mo with my hubby's family...his Mom n Dad...brother and sis and their famalies. 14 of us. Went to Silver Dollar City and Celebration City and took the " Ride the Ducks " Tour. We had a blast but mercy the traffic was awful !

I live in Mississippi Cathy...born and raised here.Live way out in the country with no neighbors except Gods creatures.

Hi mrsjimmyp... welcome back!

Speaking of Mississippi, I just read a wonderful cookbook written by a lady from your neck of the woods (Tchula, MS. to be exact!). "Screen Doors and Sweet Tea: Recipes & Tales from a Southern Cook" by Martha Hall Foose. It was chock-full not only of fantastic recipes and history/lore of local Delta foods, but also great food-writing and funny stories! It's one of the best cookbooks I've read this year! BTW- Ms. Foose is the Chef at 'Viking Cooking School', owns 'Bottletree Bakery' in Oxford, and owns 'Mockingbird Bakery' in Greenwood. I highly recommend her book!
