Morning Sans famiy coffee is good.

I have never heard of brain sandwiches though. Do I want to know what those are?

Pig brains. It's spiced, breaded and fried and served on bun with onion and pickle. Also served with eggs. Brains and eggs. Grandmother made it occassionally. My aunt and mother loved it. I see it a lot in Southern Indiana and Kentucky. There is a Fall Festival in Evansville every October and people wait for blocks at the food booths to buy the sandwhiches. Not me

Of course as you know folks are serious about their barbecue.

If no one told you you were eating a brain sandwich, you probably would like it

I'll leave it at that

(It is better than fried eel which is also common in that area near the Wabash river)

LOL.....THE EEL would have to go in the brain sandwhich catagory .

My mom did sneak some rabbit into my food one time. She said she made chicken dumplings and it was rabbit and dumplings. Was good.

Happy birthday to Schumi! Hope you are having a great day. I've just got back from my parents & making steak pie for our meal - back to my daughter's for 7 as they're off to a 70th birthday meal. Didn't dare tell my parents I've booked a trip as they will be worrying for the next 4 weeks about it. Hubs went to see FIL not too good today - he's not been deteriorating as predicted but perhaps this is the start.
Really couldn't eat brain - in fact only have red meat once a week but very happy to eat fish and chicken!
TTFN

No thank you. They do eat chitlins where I am - there's even a festival for it. I've heard the smell is rather interesting. I haven't had the desire to go.
The only animals I eat are chicken and turkey, so I'll pass.

Thank you ladies..........I appreciate the wishes...........29 again...........

It's been an odd birthday...........housework, laundry, waxing and............packing yep, more or less packed...........didn't take long at all............

Glad I logged on to wish @schumigirl
!! and safe travels to Orlando and 2nd home RPR!

Had interview today for consulting company that is moving into the area having purchased 2 nursing homes in my town- and having a state of the art brand spankin new one currently being built. Would mean I could eventually give up my homes currently an hour away...flexibility, no drive AND good pay-will see if it works out. Spent yesterday running chocolate all over the state-but if it brings us closer to goal and we get the Hawaii trip next July...

Contractors and workers here getting the backyard into shape-yard graded (yay for finally having a FLAT area), retaining wall about done, dirt being moved in and then sod. Then the deck plans can be finalized. Chickens are horrified by all the activity and squawk loudly when not they are not tucked into a corner hiding.

And YAY to tinyD for having an actual no work vacay!!

Well you can be up late at night and not have to get up until noon for starters on the 8 day period off work
That's a start for this first vacation from work since its been 6 years for youse

PSH. No time to waste! We ONLY have 6 days at the parks so it'll be up and at em in the mornings. I'm hoping Tuesday I'll get to sleep in. We don't have ot be in the park until around noon for Fast Passes.
I just keep thinking about how out of shape I am and how sore I'm going to be.. so worth it though.

Do we live in the same town? LOL

Maybe, SmalltownUSA?

I'm back from Hilton Head. I had a great weekend and now it's back to reality. It went well for the husband and kids with me gone - so that was a relief. The kids were without adults for 9 hours today and all was fine. That's the first time we've left them close to that long.

I still need to figure out Fast Passes for our first Disney day - which is now September 28th and I have no idea which park as I need to change something the next week and nothing fits perfectly with the crowd calendar. Universal "planning" is so much easier!

We're continuing to get an idea of the rentals down there and today husband said that perhaps we should buy instead. So, now trying to research the chance of renting out a house to someone else when/if we go to Beijing. Windermere is currently at the top of the list if we buy and need to leave the area for a different project for a while.



Squirlz - That is a really cool car!



I love the name Kyle! I would have used it except it didn't sound good with our last name. (Which isn't quite Kohlby but does start with that hard K sound).

I liked the name Kyle when I was younger and made the mistake of telling my then pregnant older sister.
I have a nephew named Kyle. He loved harry potter and is awesome so I guess it's okay that she named him "my" name.

I've lived in SC for 19 years now and I still don't like southern food - except for fried chicken. I don't like any of the others you listed - except for red beans and rice but I don't see that much where I am. I have never heard of brain sandwiches though. Do I want to know what those are?

That's exactly what I was thinking! I don't like a lot of southern foods... especially the ones that involve fried veggies(except okra.)
I do love some good mashed potatoes, biscuits, fried chicken, gravies, BBQ, and others though. Those are southern right? Carbs, starches, and more carbs for me. Oh and proteins. Good pork chop or BBQ... I also love steak but I think that's a universal thing.

Happy Birthday Schumi! Hope you're spoiled all day! (and vacation.) You deserve it!

Gross. We had a diversion class one day in one of my clubs in HS... we had to eat scrabbled eggs and brains. I couldn't eat the rest of the day. We also had rattlesnake and a few other things I choose not to remember.
What about hoecakes? That's a southern thing. never much liked the name! lol

 

[marciemi]

Happy Birthday Schumi! I saw this cake online the other day and it seems appropriate here!

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks you guys for the good wishes.......and Marci.....what a great cake I would share it of course.........

MonyK.......good luck with the job search........hope you get the change you want, and of course hope the chickens get settled soon........building work is never fun.......even in the garden.




After all my bragging about our glorious weather to my sister who is having awful weather where she lives.......

We now have rain! Still the trees need it..........think positive........and we may get a better nights sleep tonight since it's cooler...........

Not sure an early night is a good idea in case we can't sleep........counting sheep never worked for me........

 

[Robo56]

What about hoecakes?

A friend told me rattlesnake tasted like chicken. I took his word for it. Not going to try it.

Hoecakes are good if their made right.

They do eat chitlins where I am

They eat them here too. I took care of a young lady once many years ago who had a terrible infection in her hand she got from pickin (cleaning chitlins to cook). Was getting IV antibiotics. Not for me either.

Have always found it interesting what people eat in different areas of US.

Tinyd I hope you received an A for bravery. I would have taken a diversion out of the class room door....LOL

 

[Squirlz]

Happy Birthday Schumi!! Hope you're having a great day. My birthday is Friday.

Ate breaded fried alligator as they said it tastes like chicken. Ummm, a fish fan I am not, so I did not eat much of it. And no, it did not taste like chicken. Ate breaded fried frog legs too, and well, that was a one and done too. I am not a very adventurous eater. I would not do eel or hopefully not brain either.

Muggy night, and made pepper steak for dinner. Tasty.

Ah, Squirlz is another September baby, note that Mac.
