After spending some time in the South and reading Southern fiction, those Southern taste buds awakened. Had some of the finest grits ever at the Inn on the Biltmore Estate and other tasty Southern fare on our trip. Today I am Paula Deaning it and cooking Southern but without all the butter. Darn! This morning Roy and I had our delicious breakfast at Pappasita's and then headed out to Katy. A little store on 2nd Avenue, Excessories, sell clothes mostly but on the weekends, there's a bonus. They sell one of my favorite brands Flax (always a bonus) and they also add a great service in having farm fresh produce brought in on some weekends. Go to their website and sign up for emails. They send out an email letting you know what they will have. Just email them back with your order and it is ready for pick up. We picked up tomatoes, peaches, cream peas and purple hull peas. Oh and a black pair of Flax cropped pants. So tonight we are having ham, cream peas, sliced tomatoes and peaches for dinner. Sounds like a meal out of a number of Southern fiction books on my shelves. Biscuits or cornbread would be a great addition but neither one of those are included in our eating plan...again I must say, darn!
Since I seem to be on a food jag, have to tell you about the shrimp cocktail I had at Whole Foods yesterday. 14 peeled shrimp with red sauce, $4.99. Such a great lunch! Such a great price!
Roy is finally feeling better. He starts coughing right before going to sleep. Strange in that he hardly coughs at any other time of day. He is finishing up his meds, so he should be back to his normal routine by the first of the week.
Well, I better go check on our dinner that is simmering away on the stove. Really, I should make a blackberry cobbler to finish out the Southern theme but again...darn...not on our eating plan.
