Food, food, and more food......

If I don't eat again for a week, it will be too soon.  Here is a quick rundown of how we eat here in the South LOL  It started yesterday morning with Brent going to Waffle House and bringing me back a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and a double order of hash browns with onions and cheese.  We got to his Aunt and Uncle's house a few hours later, and they had a SPREAD from a local barbecue restaurant - pork, Brunswick stew, coleslaw, baked beans, not to MENTION all of the homemade appetizers everyone had brought - homemade salsa, stuffed jalapenos, spinach dip, dill dip, and his grandmother's homemade fried apple pies.  You would think that would have been enough to hold us over for, ummmm, at least a couple of days, but, noooo. Last night, Brent decided to put bratwurst on the charcoal grill, and how could I turn THAT down?? UGGGGGGGHHHHH  We woke up this morning to a home-cooked breakfast of grits, scrambled eggs, hashbrown casserole, bacon, biscuits and gravy.  All washed down with sweet iced tea ;)  On the way home, we stopped in Publix to grab some stuff for, yeah, you guessed it, DINNER, and they were grilling hamburgers.  Surprise, surprise.  We decided to try one.  Hey, it was a grilled hamburger, bag of chips, and a can of Coke for 3 bucks - how could we turn that down????  Now comes the good part.........

We just finished dinner, cooked by MY most favorite cook of all (ME;) of pot roast complete with carrots, potatoes, and onions, garden fresh green beans topped with my mom's relish, rolls, gravy, and marinated cucumber and vidalia onion salad.  Is anyone sick yet?!?!?!?!?

Dang, girl!!  Hey, sometimes food is what comforts us, yet it can be so not-good-for-us, as well.  Take care...
