Too funny! I lived in Ohio until I was eleven, then moved to NC. Told my folks when we hit the mountains of NC I felt like I was home. Daddy just laughed. His people are from Kentucky-before that, his grandma was Cherokee from NC and his granddad Welsh! They migrated north and west, looking for work.
Don’t even get me started on Southern food! There’s nothing like it in the world. And Southern cooks...!
Oh go ahead, gardengirl, get “started” on Southern food and cooks. I’ll join in.
