Guessing again......can't you stop it! The more you
contribute...the more you vaildate your ignorance.
Peter......or might we call you "Little Dick"...........your ounce of
pretension becomes two pounds of bull shit with every vowel you spew.

That would of course be "her". It's sometimes difficult to type when a
cat is insisting on sitting on the keyboard.

If "HERE" recipes are any good........what in the world does "HERE"
recipes mean?

Oh...I understand...now it is time to blame some other entiy for your
inept abilities. Did two quarts of gin contribute? Can't accept the

Pitful soul. Now it is time to forgive you.

And I'm assuming no beans, correct?

I'll pass you some white if you'll return the favor with some red. Then
alll we have to do is find someone West of the Mississippi who's doing
green...........

He has Highlands Bar and Grill and another one, next door, I believe. I
never made it there because, as with most chefs, Monday was my only day off.
It was his too so I've never managed to have his food. I've been impressed
with some of the folks who've come out of his kitchen tho', two of whom are
up here running a club and about to open a restaurant.

Hello -
I am a filmmaker in Atlanta. I read your latest blog with the mention
of Edna Lewis and her essay in Gourmet Magazine on 'What Is
Southern.'.

I just wanted to let you know I produced a 21 minute documentary about
Miss Edna Lewis and its viewable in its entirety on Internet at a
Gourmet Magazine website:

http://www.gourmet.com/magazine/video/2008/01/Edna


and at a Georgia Public Broadcasting website:

http://www.cforty7.com/film/theater?film_test=16

My documentary is called Fried Chicken and Sweet Potato Pie.

My website, http://bbarash.com/index.htm has more information about
the film and the story of Miss Lewis.

Sincerely,
Bailey Barash

I saw that!! My husband and I were watching trying to make heads or
tails out of WHY you'd want to do such a huge ho'cake in the first
place? But before she even poured it out into the pan did you see the
amount of oil?! Yikes. And that truly trashy sounding cackling she does.

From what I've read it is kinda over rated and going downhill?
Just like that ghastly restaurant Paula Deen owns-mediocre cafeteria
style food with a dash of celebrity.

I wouldn't waste my time on Mama Dip's book. It is a tad ordinary and
unremarkable, perhaps a bit cliche even....unlike anything written by
Edna Lewis!

You need to try looking up the actual definition of "bigot", as it has
absolutely no relevance to my statement.

OOOOH, Moma Dip. I have her cookbook, it's great. She's an old fashioned
cook from Chapel Hill, NC. She's not a celebrity chef by any means, but she
is a local legend.

Thanks, Christine - I'm just glad it's available where anyone can
watch it, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

YES! In fact, most of the OT crap posted here would be better served
just emailed to the interested parties or not posted at all. But the
posters all imagine what they're sharing is particularly valuable,
novel, more humorous and hasn't already been seen 203 times via other
friends who did think to email it.

This is an off-topic post.

Immaterial. You're contributing to the very off-topic noise you complain
about.

Miss Christine -

Speaking of cooking southern and Miss Edna of blessed memory, have you
ever posted that recipe for pimento cheese that you wowed me with
at a cook-in at Tammy's? If not, will you post it? I improvised once for
a Dead Spread, but it wasn't as good as Miss Edna's as made by you.

I figure (based on "Being Dead is No Excuse") that I am in the Savory PC
camp.

Thanks for the food for thought,

Charlotte

Okay Miss Charlotte..

The recipe I used wasn't Edna Lewis'...but that of James Villas, who
has also authored quite a few good southern cookbooks. It is from the
first volume he did with his momma, My Mother's Southern Kitchen.

A Kansas woman I knew was very secretive with a similar recipe for years.
She used this recipe as a welcoming treat, and if you were lucky, she tucked
a little in a small bowl for you to take with you.

One day I went to the basement as she had been gone for a long time and I
was getting ready to go. When she saw me, she jumped sky high. There she
was using one of those sausage-type grinders grinding away on the cheddar.
Caught in action. I laugh now, but I was embarrassed then, I was so young.

Do you eat broccoli rabe?

I've gone through each of the greens being my favorite thru the years. For
the last year, my favorite has been rabe.
I love it! Mamma-mia!
