The official drink is a tie between Coca-Cola, sweet tea, and Jack Daniel's

LOL!.....or a combination of all three.

We eat all meals as if they were our last, because eventually it will be. Pass the gravy, please........

Ice cubes work great, just stand back.

For now, she's able to maintain her 5-foot-7, 115-pound physique without regular exercise.

She sounds hot.

I make a burger, it is one pound of beef, with load fried onion rings, bacon, steak sauce, but it is on a wheat bun so it is healthy right.

"I think people should mind their own business in what people eat."

Can't. Once we tax Peter to pay for Paul's health insurance (aka Medicare), Peter gets to tell Paul to knock off the grease.

"The Hamdog." The dish, a specialty of Mulligan's, a suburban bar, is a hot dog wrapped by a beef patty that's deep fried, covered with chili, cheese and onions and served on a hoagie bun. Oh yeah, it's also topped with a fried egg and two fistfuls of fries.

LOL! Probably more likely to give the food police a heart attack just thinking about it. How about a stick of butter rolled in brown sugar and maple syrup for dessert? Ummmmm...

Mmmm...I remember my family sitting down to a Saturday afternoon dinner of fried shrimp, fresh off our neighbor's boat, greasy french fries, and hush puppies tainted with just the right aroma of last week's seafood. Mmm...
My mother's three-pack-a-day habit is what finished her off, not the food.

I married a yankee, I love her, but their food has no flavor at all. White bread stuffing for thanksgiving turkey, that is just wrong.

I can understand, You grew up on it, I just get it when I travel, which is hardly never anymore.

The 100% absolute best chow I had was a little old restaurant just east of the Barkley Lake dam in Kentucky. The place had the hogs running around out back, right near the smoke house.

A huge pulled pork sandwich, fries, slaw and a huge glass of RC Cola for about $2. I left a bigger tip than the meal cost, and it was worth every single penny and then some. I went back for lunch & dinner for the rest of the week. I would have had that for breakfast, but they weren't open.

I'm sure it's happened!

Ever have a potato-chip sandwich?

2 Slices of Merita bread, 1 slice of Vidalia onion, as much mayonnaise as you want and 1 handful of Tom's potato chips. Smoosh together and enjoy.

I made a recipe from Brennan's last night, Chicken Lanzone, and cut down on fat by replacing the heavy cream with milk and the butter with olive oil (olive oil has the same amount of fat as butter, but it's a healthier fat). Couldn't be easier, and very delicious.

Make a mixture of onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and salt and put it in a plastic bag. Put a few chicken breast strips in the bag and shake.

Brown your chicken in olive oil till cooked through. Remove from the skillet. Add milk and a little bit of flour and cook till thickened, scraping the bits of chicken off the bottom of the pan. Pour sauce over chicken.

Yummy, delicious southern cooking, but reduced in fat.

It's wrong,try more gravy and pepper. It won't fix the taste but it will slide down better.

Next time you fire up the deep frier (or turkey frier), try tossing some items from the cupboard in there. Kinda fun.

Yes, it is. We tried corn-on-the-cob. Now, whenever we deep fry a turkey, we also fry some corn. It is delicious.
