Back to Southern Food for a sec...

There is one Southern food which, as much as I've tried to like, I just can't seem to add them to my "must have" list: ham biscuits. Rather, the ham in those biscuits, which is traditionally the Smithfield type. It's just too salty and practically "briny" to me. Smithfield ham, by itself, always tastes slightly off to me - it has a seafood-y finish to it, at least to my tastebuds. Now maybe I've just never had a Smithfield ham properly prepared - maybe no one has ever soaked it long enough to draw out "enough" of the salt that is used to cure it - but since I lived in Richmond for a number of years, well... However, I do like when Smithfield ham is used as a seasoning for beans, cabbage and greens.

THE AMAZING RACE SPOILERS

Quote from: Jrand60 on October 25, 2010, 10:34:29 AM

The Asian son and father, DR JENNIFER.....

Wow, I'm surprised. I don't find them annoying at all. My only problem with them is that the father does not have enough physical capabilities for this race. However he does seem to be good at directions. The blonde girl's father seems much more physically competent.

Who are the bikers?

I like the father and daughter team and the Shop At home hosts. They are my faves.

I also like Vicki, the pierced girl, but I don't like her boyfriend.

Vicky and hr boyfriend are the bikers. The braindead comment was the clue!

"Um what does it mean if it says the fastforward is taken?"

It means sit there all day and wait! Oy.

I never thought of deviled eggs as a particularly Southern dish.

I used to work with a woman who retired a few years ago and she received a Smithfield ham as a gift. She brought it to a work potluck but didn't realize/know that they were supposed to be soaked. I'd heard that it was much, much, much (that's three muches) too salty to eat and a lot was left over, which is quite unusual for our potlucks.

I've had some popcorn, watched some tv, corrected an article for the Victor Herbert newsletter, and I think I will be heading for bed soon. I have to be up at 6am to make the NYU Dental Clinic at 8:30 followed by a top at the McGlinnventory. Then I have a meeting at the Frank Loesser office about a new critical edition of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.

Good night, all!

Ricky came home from his treatment. Not a happy camper, but I calmed him down pretty quickly. I don't think the poor thing goes to the bathroom all day when he's away. He ran straight to the little box and boy did he find relief. And he ate and ate. I'm afraid he can't reach the food and water dish with the cone on, so I took it off. I know I was supposed to wait until he's totally dry, but he was almost totally dry...

Rehearsal was fun - all performers are excellent. We had to do a quick arrangement of two songs from Cinderella and that came out very well, and we changed a couple of keys. Boswell is one of my favorite pianists to work with - everything is effortless. And there is a song that I've always wanted Guy Haines to sing and I've never been able to figure out an arrangement that made me want to let him - until two days ago, when something very outre came to me. I did a kind of rough version and I played it for Boswell - then he took over and it's going to work really well. And no one has ever done this song with this feel before, believe me. It's kind of perfect in its crazy way.

OMG, George, you've never seen To Kill A Mockingbird? You must remedy that. It's a wonderful movie.

Other than that....ditto for TOD

I like A Time To Kill, too. More modern, but still Southern

Favorite Southern Play is A Streetcar Named Desire
