Mom's North Carolina Dinner

Once again, I would like to say how important is was for us to have mom come out here to be with us. With that said, I would like you to see what mom had to eat while she was out here. If she had her cholesterol checked when she got back it was probably more that the national debt. Now you can see why...

There are fried pickles, french fries, fried chicken strips, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, fried hushpuppies, fried scallops, and fried flounder. Can you guess what is what?

Welcome to the South.

I was a trip to remember, that's for sure. And my hips may remember it longest. I got to say, though, that frying things sure can make ANYthing taste GOOD (Boiling, not so much.)

Isn't it funny how all the vegetables in North Carolina are a golden brown color? I loved meeting your mom, Scott. She's pretty cool. I hope her cholesterol level drops soon.
