Southern Sandwich
Nothing fancy today. I was inspired by this beautiful Arkansas tomato and the basil growing in my garden. I toasted some thin white bread and added some good mayo and a couple of slices of avocado (since I had it I may as well use it!) and voila! A tasty little lunch! Added some cold…

Southern Breakfast on the Porch
One of my favorite community cookbooks is Louisiana Entertains – A Complete Menu Cookbook from the Rapides Symphony Guild in Alexandria, Louisiana – copyright 1978.

I’ve decided to assemble my own list of things that I’ve done that I think every Southerner should do. Some are from their list, but most…
