September 22, 2008 They are serious about the state motto on Florida, it really IS the Sunshine State! We have never been to Disney World when it was this hot before. It was as if the sun had a direct beam spotlighted on each one of us the entire time. WHEW, were we ever hot! You can imagine the thrill I felt when I heard there was a cold front in Alabama! Other than the heat, we had a ... Continue Reading
How To Make Apple Pie
Don't you just hate it when you taste something positively divine that a friend made, ask for the recipe, and they refuse to give it? How awkward is that? I have always found it somewhat rude and therefore have made a point to share any and every recipe that has ever been requested of me.

She also gave me my heirloom rolling pin which I tend to mention quite often and never pass up a chance to photograph. Mama has been cooking full blown meals since she was thirteen.

How To Make Fried Green Tomatoes
Back to beloved southern foods! This is the prime time of year for fried green tomatoes. All of our grocery stores sell green ones alongside the red for this very purpose (green tomatoes are like rocks so I can't imagine them being used for anything else). Another weird cultural thing, but I imagine it stemmed from the whole "dang yankees trying to starve us" issue back in the days of old. Did ... Continue Reading
Happy Birthday Katy!
October 18th, 2008 We turned our little Katy four today! I say it that way because we actually "turn" her four a wee bit early, in October of each year. Being born four days before Christmas just isn't fun for any kid so we have hers a little early and she doesn't have to share her day with a single Christmas tree! This was her first big party, up until now its been family gatherings. I ... Continue Reading
