I can finally sleep nights now.

Usually no ketchup Mrs. abb’s recipe uses regular onion, green onion, creamed corn, and minced jalapeno.

Headin' up to San Francisco
for the Labor Day weekend show,
I've got my hush-puppies on,
I guess I never was meant for
glitter rock and roll.
And honey, I didn't know
that I'd be missing you so.

Come Monday, it'll be all right
Come Monday, I'll be holding you tight
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side.

-- Jimmy Buffett, "Come Monday"

Sometimes ketchup, sometimes a little butter, but mostly just as they are. I agree with you on the onions

I’ve been banned? The Horror!

In an old neighborhood I lived in years ago the next door neighbor’s mother and father lived nearby and had a brunswick stew party the first week of every October; I was able to attend a few of them before moving away.

The stew was made over a wood fire in a large cast iron kettle (10 gallon size) that had been in the family for 150 years.

I can imagine your shock and sense of violation.

I haven’t seen to many Freepers who’ve been banned and yet can still send email and have posting privileges.

Are you related to JR?

[Rebelbase]

“Are you related to JR?”

Yes. You can trace our lineage all the way back to Adam and Eve.

[x1stcav]

Good one.

B-B-Q King in Charlotte. Along with all their other wonderful food, I could make a meal out the hushpuppies (must be dipped in ketchup) and a Cherry-Lemon Sprite. Yum-Yum

[P8riot]

Yep. My youngest sister lives there. Well, actually in Hubert, but close enough.

I’ve attended many a sheep stew made in a 50 gal. iron pot on a family farm. What wasn’t eaten was canned and when it was all eaten, it was time for another stew. Was always a wonderful event to visit, eat and usually enjoy some homegrown music.

Good show!!!

[pallmallman]

Well, except for that stuff called “tartar sauce”, I;m in agreement with you.

[pallmallman]

Love those onions.

[pallmallman]

That sounds great to me!!

Given enough beer, these gustatorial delights become hush fish and cat puppies. 8-)
