Food floof! Snapshot!
Comments (49)Plllog, I think your comment about grits being served at any meal in the South is absolutely accurate, at least in my experience. I commented that we served Gruyere Grits to our Chinese guests as a side dish for filet mignon. I also listed Shrimp and Grits as a dish that I would serve as representative of my region. Just this morning, I was thinking that I needed to make up a batch of Gruyere Grits to freeze in meal size portions. P, your comment about salad on a burger reminded me of our trip to Australia. On a couple of occasions DH or DD ordered a burger. It was listed as coming with salad. We expected a small side salad. We finally learned that “salad” meant lettuce on the burger. I regret that we never chose to have a slice of beet on our burger. When we returned, a woman who worked for me who was married to an Aussie told me that it was pretty classic. I also agree with Outside Playing, that grits are not served every day at breakfast in the South. My momma never served them, but my daddy would eat them every chance he got. Nevertheless, I would say that grits are often served at breakfast in the south, see pic below of instant grits in individual packets. Just for fun, I googled “Southern Living grits.” Boy, are there lots of ways to cook grits! I’m not sure, but I think grits became less regional when Jimmy Carter went into the White House. I have a vague recollection of people trying to figure out the singular of grits. Annie, my mom must have been kin to your grandpa. She thought the finest breakfast was a piece of chocolate pie! I just looked up “peameal bacon.” I found it is what the North American Meat Institute calls “Canadian bacon.” I’ve had plenty of Canadian bacon, except I’ve never seen Canadian bacon rolled in cornmeal. Interesting. Thanks for sending me on the quest to figure it out! Elmer, bless you little trollish heart, you’re just not happy until you’ve insulted someone, are you?...See MoreIt's feel good video time!
Comments (21)Oly, that has to be the sweetest video I've ever seen. The dad makes it look easy, doesn't he? He had a great idea about giving them a quick little bath. But what really surprised me was how those teeny girls were able to carry their plates full of food to the table! I realized when he got their sippy cups ready he didn't do what most of us probably did, he had them come get the cup, instead of the usual, giving the cup to them. Self sufficient girls, good job dad!. Nekotish, I think my husband would marry the grandma if he could. He loves blacka pepper! lol And she sings!...See MoreEtsy pillows -- a rabbit hole
Comments (19)I'm another who has quite a collection of pillow covers. I like to change out some of my pillows a couple times a year. I have bought on Etsy and have been pleased. I refuse to buy a pillow that is not backed in same fabric (other than tapestry/rug/rug, etc.). I have yet to deal with an Etsy seller that won't accommodate me. There is generally an upcharge. I also have an upholstery guy who is WONDERFUL. An older man, retired, who has a small upholstery shop at his home. He has done a couple of pieces of furniture for me and when I asked him about pillows, he said $16 for a 20x20, corded and zipper, cover. Holy cow! I like choosing my own fabrics. However, in my area, we have very few fabric shops anymore, even in the big cities near me. There are lots of on-line fabric shops and so that leads to another rabbit hole, LOL. I keep an envelope of fabric samples I have ordered....See MoreRug rabbit hole! Help!
Comments (22)Wow all your an have me thinking! I was thinking a 7’ 10” round, and even leaning towards something that matched my counters! pic below. but now i think i like the square! i am wondering what a 8’ square would look like- i would like to be able to walk around the rug to get to the pantry and not sure i want the entire floor covered. And also thinking about the no rug comments. i just always thought a rug made the room look ”finished” and elevated. but i suppose the wrong rug will do more harm than good! I'm also considering changing, or removing the curtains and putting up art there instead! I do like the mirror there because the room is so small and it brings in light. i am convinced it needs painted now now!! you guys have been so helpful!...See More
