Heheheheehehe

I got to talking to Boli the other night in chat, about Southern
foods. I am from Virginia originally, and I am finding I like to get
back to my roots when I can.

I had my mother teach me a lot when I was growing up, but since I
moved away from Virginia, and since she died, I have been trying to
remember all I learned. I have forgotten some of it. I just now
relearned how to fry chicken like my mother did, even though I did it
at her direction for many, many years.

I am thinking of taking an assignment back in Virginia again, to be
near family, and to relearn what there is of my southern heritage.
Boli kept on asking me what I meant about southern heritage...and I
only could answer from what I knew from growing up. I know there is
a lot more.

I tend to go back to what I know for comfort too....the South is so
very comforting...
