Howdy Y’all. When I first moved to my house, 20 + years ago, I discovered a little restaurant nearby called Southern Home Cooking. The first time I went the owner kept giving everyone hugs along with a bible verse, coming and going, me included, even tho I was a newcomer. I told Jr. about this. We went one day for late breakfast directly from doing some heavy yard work. Expecting a hug on arrival, the owner took one slow look at us up and down and said, you boys better go wash up first. Now, she didn’t know either of us from the get-go. Now, this is my idea of a neighborhood family style restaurant. Yep, Jr and I got our hugs after clean hand inspection before she seated us. LOL.
I am making southern style fried chicken legs in my chicken frying cast iron pan today. I almost feel like I should make Sweet Tea instead of regular ice tea to go alongside. Cream gravy on mashed potatoes. Frozen corn caramelized in butter. And I barely dented the watermelon I bought yesterday, so there’s that for later. Y’all come back now. Clichés, no. Good Eating, yes.
