I’ll eat anything that doesn’t try to eat me first (and if it does - just kill it, skin it, and grill it).

May I come visit?

And btw, there is a name for that type of hat but it eludes me. Anyone?

I believe that's called a "geezer"

Just pop a whole boiled one in your mouth and swallow - slides right down, no chewing necessary.



You've just never had blackeyed peas cooked right.

Y'all need a true Southern Cook to fix some if this stuff for you (and no, I'm NOT talking about Paula Dean).

------------------------------------------

Sorry it turned into a book, but Here's my take on it:

I’ll eat anything that doesn’t try to eat me first (and if it does - just kill it, skin it, and grill it).

Liver-n-Onions smothered w/ gravy, sliced thin & served w/ mashed ‘taters on top
Pan sizzled salt Pork (with cathead biscuits, grits & red-eye gravy)
Leftover-mashed-potato pancakes w/ homemade black molasses
Fried chicken Gizzards (or mountain oysters once in a great while)
Chitlins – only if done right (thoroughly boiled, drained, salted, battered, and deep fried)
Souse meat
Mud cat fillets
Raw Oysters – sans crackers w/ a little Tabasco (salty Apalachicola ‘sters preferred)
Frog Legs – battered w/ cornmeal and fried
Rattlesnake
Shark
Okra – any ol' way (sliced battered-n-fried, and whole or sliced & boiled in soups/stews/gumbos or pickled)
Persimmons (esp. persimmon jelly – make sure they’re well-ripened)
Fried Green Tomatoes
Beets
Rhubarb
Rutabaga
Brussels sprouts
Cauliflower
Turnip Greens (and/or roots, raw or cooked)
Raw turnip roots - salted to taste (my grandma used to peel ‘em for me and I’d eat ‘em whole, like an apple)
Collard Greens – boiled with a Hamhock and lotsa onion
Kale – cooked or raw on salads
Romaine lettuce – homegrown in a small plot just behind the kitchen window
Asparagus – fresh, young & tender (it grows wild behind our house next to the woods line)
Lima Beans
Butterbeans
Navy Beans
Field Peas
Blackeyed Peas
Crowder Peas
Pinkeye Purple Hull Peas
Grits - done right, and embellished with various goodies (grated sharp cheddar and/or bacon bits to name just two)
Leftover fried grits pancakes, also w/ black molasses

-and, yes, even-
Pickled Pigs feet
& Pickled eggs

Of course ALL of the above has to be cooked right, seasoned right, presented correctly, and served with the right accompaniments. (think - pepper jelly with peas, Jalapeño cornbread with turnips, collard greens, or peas, etc.)

My wife makes some killer cinnamon pickles from old (overgrown) cucumbers picked fresh from the garden, peeled, de-seeded with a spoon, and sliced into strips… they’re red, spicy/cinnamon-y, crispy, and delicious! Daughter's favorite condiment. And my son would fight ya if’n ya tried to take away his personal pint of pickled okra.

Pickled Okra = start with young pods, no longer than 2” max. Stuff washed whole okra pods, small sliced jalapeño peppers, and one garlic section into sanitized pint Mason jars, pour boiled white vinegar to 1/2" of top, seal lightly, and boil jars completely submersed in a canner pot for ~30 minutes. Remove with tongs, tighten rings, cool. Last step = If ya want to still have some by Thanksgiving - hide from my son! (btw, he’ll eat anything too)

Gotta go for now, gettin’ hongry!… I’m thinking yesterday’s leftover breakfast biscuits (made from scratch) and butterfly-ed and baked link smoked sausage with mustard.

Nom nom mmmmmm.

Now I'M hungry! Especially after those 2 posts of my favorite foods!

Hooligans caps were bigger, & floppy on top weren't they?

To resist the hat is futile.

Drivers cap or "paperboy cap"... a good friend "back then" called mine an Apple Cap.

eta:
Add a Tweed sports jacket over a white long-sleeve button-down, new (dark blue) jeans, nice but not overdone belt buckle, and Nacona or Justin cowboy boots... and I was good-to-go baby!

Hello ... it's now my 1 week sick-adversary. I was thinking of actually trying to eat something this morning ... but after the last few pages of okra, snot, liver, etc. I've lost my appetite. Maybe I settle for a cup of coffee ... haven't had a morning cup for a week ... perhaps that's why I'm sick ... need more coffee.

Yikes - I looked at myself in the mirror this morn and my eyes are so bloodshot I can't see any white at all. My eyes just don't want to focus which is one of the reasons I haven't been around the porch at all. Maybe I should do another 'eye-closeup-shot' for Willie.

I do finally feel on the 'mend' though. Feeling better than yesterday, and yesterday I felt better than the day before. One day at a time.

It's been at least 4 years since my eyes were that bloodshot. Momma came in and I was on my knees fully dressed with top half on tje bed snoring. The next morning my eyes looked like that.

Muh hat fell off in the chase...

Best one I've ever seen as with him leaning over at the table like he does with the caption "I don't always fart but, when I do, I lean over like this."

 

[2legsshrt]

The only time mine ever got like that was from smoking to much and not cigarettes. I carried Visine. Maybe that is what you need Mike and I don't mean the Visine

 

[2legsshrt]

It will make you hungry.

 

[yiddleboge6]
