Wow. If I’d known then what I know now, I’d have posted my limerick masterpiece earlier! Today it rained and rained all day long, it’s still going at it. Mere weeks ago there was maybe a foot of snow on the ground, now all that remains are the remnants of drifts from plowing.
GLO-ry!!
I want some cornbread.

Cornbread. And collards. Maybe some good, ol’ bar-b-que. A big bowl of black-eyed peas with a ham hock in it. Aaanndd… most important, a big ol’ glass of sweet home-brewed iced tea. As Titus says, “It’s food that’ll touch your soul!” Amen.

I shudder at the mere thought of collards! You must either be southern, or southern at heart. Collard greens should indeed be outlawed, ALONG WITH deep fried okra! There are some southern foods that are just nasty. HOWEVER, people in the south, as a whole, are alot better cooks then people in the north. And that’s a fact. They just need to learn to eliminate a few ugly things from the menu.

Ag, I am indeed ‘southern’. As late southern columnist Lewis Grizzard put it, “I’m American by birth, and southern by the grace of God.” That said, I don’t want to appear sacriligious. I am also saved by the grace and mercy of God. Until I met my mother-in-law, I wouldn’t touch collards. Under pressure from my bride’s brothers, I finally tried them, and hers are G-O-O-D! Fried okra, that’s the only way I can eat them; they’re too slimy any other way. Also, do not take my appreciation of my southern upbringing to mean I look down on…um…northern people? Yankees? I don’t want to be offensive and insensitive. I once dated a girl from the north ( ok, Canada, but she was and is a sweet person, and I think highly of her; ), and I realized that I was in for some real culture shock when I found that proper iced tea, (to her), came in a powdered form to be mixed with water. Bleh! I’ll share the secret to good collards if anyone wants to know.

Oh you southerners have SUCH a hang up! Yankees? You just can’t get over the fact that you are, realistically speaking, losers. :)
I know all about collards that I care to, thanks anyhow.
Actually, I do like living in the North, but if I had the choice, I would live in the South. Not extreme south, but nice south.

Ag,
Where is the “nice south” as you put it?

North Carolina all the way. My sister and I have always wanted to live there, which is convenient because we always wanted to live next to each other forever.

Ok Susie, that better be an honest question and not a tongue-in-cheek slam on us “suthunuhs down heah.”

Touchy, touchy!
