Maybe it is because I am on a diet. Or maybe it is because I am just a tiny bit homesick for my native state, But I am having some serious cravings for Southern cuisine. I mean I want some real, honest to goodness, stick to your ribs southern cookin'!!
I want grits. Creamy and buttery. Seasoned to perfection with a bit of salt.
Or how about some really good greens. Collard, mustard, turnip...you name it. I want it boiled with some smoked turkey! Served with cornbread (not sweet) and hot pepper sauce.
OR better yet, how about some fried green tomatoes. Crisped to perfection with the right combination of flour and corn meal. Dipped in a spicy remalade sauce.
Or biscuits. My grandma's biscuits. Loaded with butter. While I am on the topic of Grammy I am now thinking about tea cakes...a crazy concoction that is more like a cookie than a cake. They are melt in your mouth delicious. She uses real cane syrup!! Yum!
Better still....homemade macaroni and cheese. Fluffy, eggy, cheesy....yum!
I don't know if this blog post accomplished anything but making me drool...what about you!?
