This week's word is near and dear to my heart, or maybe I should say near and dear to my stomach. I enjoy eating a well prepared, well cooked meal. I do like to eat out, but my wife is such a good cook, that come meal time, my feet can usually be found under my own table. The cooking that my wife does can be labeled country cooking, and with fresh fruits and vegetables coming in, the fare has been absolutely scrumptious.
This time of year, many people, Jean included, make a meal out of just vegetables. I like the four or five vegetables, also, but I have to have meat, bread, and dessert. Serve these vegetables along with some oven fried pork chops, home made yeast rolls, and some pound cake with fresh strawberries, and whipping cream, and by golly, you have yourself a feast!
I keep telling Jean that I will trim down and lose some weight. I know I sure need to. I also know that this is not the time of year to even consider such foolishness.
Bon Appetit !!

This topic reminds me of a dish Albert Mohler recently tweeted about on Twitter! Albert Mohler is president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I listen to his radio show as well as his sermons and Bible classes that are posted online at www.albertmohler.com. Anyway, here is what he tweeted and after that is a link to the recipe: "Mary made creme brulee French toast for a special brunch for us today. Oh, my. So rich you feel like French royalty. It means 'burnt cream'"

Cooking makes me think of Grandma Ruby. She was an outstanding country cook. My favorite was her homemade biscuits, they were light and fluffy and toasty brown on top! Hot out of the oven, I would split it, butter it, put some homemade jelly on it and be in biscuit heaven!
Good ole country cooking is my favorite. My Daddy always had a big garden and sold vegetables so we were raised on fresh veggies. Nothing beats fried okra, butterbeans, corn on the cob, fresh sliced tomatoes and hot peppers. Meat was just plain optional, not a necessity.
I love trying new recipes- mostly desserts. Maybe that is because I have a sweet tooth.
