Dec 2013

I grew up in the South, and the food is comparable to what I was fed as I was growing up, it's not fancy-schmancy food. It was food made by poor people out of what they had available to them, kinda like poor people throughout time have done all over the world.

And the neat stuff on the walls reminds me of my grandpa's old barn. Though I agree, the useless crap near the checkout is...well, useless crap. Those rocking chairs though....those are very well made.

I will have to get my Southern Cuisine and nostalgia fix elsewhere now though.
