Grits, cornbread, black-eyed peas, turnip greens, and sweet southern drawls

[navarre]

And yes, Southern girls do make nice subs y'all.

 

[MsWorthy]

Yeah I totally agree. I was there in the "off season". I still had a blast. I don't think I'd like to be there during the spring break crowd. Not really my scene. Too easy to get into trouble LOL.

I also enjoyed my trip to Fort Walton Beach area too. They are pretty similar I imagine.

I haven't been to Ft. Walton but know that it is on the coast next to PCB (as you leave).

It really is a wonderful vacation spot (PCB) if you go during the off season. The season ends in mid-late August and is still hot and beautiful on the beach (although you are entering hurricane season for the gulf coast, which means churning waters and lots of baby jellyfish). You can get a room on the beach for $40 -$50 a night during this time. I highly recommend it.

Didn't bring any, but I am thinking of making some red beans and rice for tomorrow.

And some cornbread (yum).

morningirl and i talk on the phone with frequent infrequency. She has this major southern drawl thing going that makes me scramble to keep up with her words sometimes. My dominant, Tex, has an accent that has to be heard to believed. Even standing there facing him, i still miss about one word in five. My California-born-and-raised ears just can't handle that drawl, i guess.

And grits, well, come on! That's not really people food. All y'all just laugh at us when we gamely try to eat it cuz you told us it was good, right? It's really for horses or rabbits or something, right?

cym, i knew there were times that i was making absolutely no sense when we talked. I thought it was just because i'm usually so emotional, not the accent, though.

I'm definitely a Southern girl, born in Tn, went to college in Alabama and lived in Georgia for 11 years now. BUT, i've recently discovered that those "damned Yankee" transplants can be pretty damn attractive.

 

[lovetoread]

I'm southern,a sub,and have an accent.

I'll cook grits,but I wont eat em.

 

[Desdemona]

I'm a Carolina girl. Born in NC, currently living in SC. I'm with LTR on the grits. I'll cook 'em, but I don't eat them. Its a texture thing for me.

 

[Georgia Girl]

Pure south Georgia girl here and ya'll I just gotta say......add a little sharp cheddar to the grits and well just yum.

I just never could figure why people up north put sugar in their cornbread but not in their tea. Makes no sense to me.

Good morning everyone.

 

[spankableBelle]

just loves a man with a drawl...Mmmmm...

Hello GG! I may be one of those big city Northern gals, but it's good to see you here!

Thanks darling, I've been away for a bit.

This just looks like a day that calls for peach cobbler and homemade vanilla ice cream.

It's Tropical Storm Hanna wonderful? We needed a good soaking so bad. But it will make for some messy football when the Dawgs pluck the gamecocks later today.

Dear GAWD.... I understood every word you just said. I do indeed come from a long and disreputable line of poor white trash.
