Southern Buttermilk Cornbread ( AKA Eggbread)

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 18:04:04 +0000

Southern Buttermilk Cornbread is an iconic food in southern US cuisine. We have definite opinions about bread. Biscuits are biscuits. Hushpuppies are hushpuppies. We don’t refer them as bread. We do call Hush Puppies shoes but this is a food blog not a fashion blog. We are talking about the edible hushpuppies. Sliced loaf bread...

Trash Talkin’ (Recipe: White Trash)

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 19:30:23 +0000

You just don’t know what you can and can’t say anymore. The mere act of opening your mouth and having words come out is subject to offend somebody somewhere at sometime. I’m not talking about stupid and hateful talk. I’m talking about just regular old everyday talk that you say with the best of intentions....

Bacon and Egg Hero for a Hero

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:52:56 +0000

People I consider heroes aren’t found on the big screen, athletic fields, state capitals or Washington, D.C. My heroes are found in unassuming places like the wiregrass section of southeastern Alabama in little towns with populations less than 5,000 with somewhat depressed economies. These same little towns have never hosted a big named music concert,...

When a food blogger descends upon a state fair, there’s no telling what the end result will be. There’s a multitude of food blogging opportunities. There’s even blogging opportunities to blog about how you decided what you wanted to blog about at the fair. I’ve been thinking about the the Florida State Fair all week. Today was...

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 02:18:21 +0000

Mr. Lovell Brooks’ store was just down the street from where my grandparents lived in the Cotton Mill Village in Geneva, AL. It was an old timey store where my grandparents, Payton and Virginia Phillips, “traded” as Grandaddy called it, for no telling how many years. Mr. Brooks was there before the retail grocery stores...

We awaken each morning without the harshness of an alarm clock or the blaring music from a clock radio. He makes the coffee and I make the bed. He reads his newspaper and I read mine as we sip our morning coffee. Breakfast is enjoyed at a leisurely pace as we talk about our plans for...

“A Chicken in Every Pot” (recipe: Oven Roasted Chicken Wings)

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 04:20:43 +0000

This slogan is mostly associated with the 1928 presidential campaign of Herbert Hoover claiming that all would be prosperous under a Hoover administration. The ubiquitous chicken has a place in the history of all regional cultures in the US. I haven’t found any cuisine, except vegetarian, that doesn’t rely heavily on chicken. It’s versatility, accessibility...

I have been tossing around this idea of starting a blog for quite a while. After spending what I deemed to be an adequate amount of time researching blogs and how to start them, I made the plunge. So, here I am. The next hurdle was deciding how to sign on for my very first...
