LOL! Dar you are truly one wacky-happy southern gal! Love the book title. I'm sure your nieces will appreciate those recipes both before and after. By the way, what part of the south are you in?

I will be visiting Arkansas for the first time in July for a family reunion of my mom's side. LOL! Even that phrase sounds southern, ..."of my mom's side". We have relatives coming in from all 50 states. I think it will be great fun! It will located in Hot Springs; a three day event! Both of my sons are planning are to go also, which makes even more special for me. They will also be visiting Louisiana as that is where there dad was from. They have a lot of family there including a grandfather the youngest has never met! The oldest met him when he was 16yrs old and he's now 23yrs old.

Needless to say, I do intend to pick up on some recipes while there. There are a number of different indian tribes in our family line and I know that is an influence in some of the cuisine. Boy am I looking forward to this. My paternal great-grandfather was full-blooded Cherokee and my maternal great-grandfather was French. Add the African influence of spices and look out stomach here it comes. LOL!

Well, been having troubles with RLS to the extreme past few days, so will have to stop back later. Just watch over the back fence this afternoon to check for me. I'm one of those back door neighbors. Closer to the kitchen!
