Piece of Home

As a Southern Girl living in the north, there are things that I miss terribly! Occassionally I have Sweat Tea withdrawals. I could go to McDonalds and grab a sweet tea but it is not the same. I hate going to restaurants and knowing that sweet tea is not on the menu. Texas Roadhouse allows me to smile! I stumbled upon Texas Roadhouse up here in the north about a month ago and it was love at first sight! Their warm fluffy buttery rolls and endless supply of sweet tea allows me to feel like I am back in the south (for about an hour)! It disturbs me that they don't throw the peanut shells on the floor! They have a bucket right next to the full peanut bucket for empty shells. The food was totally yummy and service wasn't bad. The wait staff did however do a two step that caught me off guard.

I decided to cook dinner on the 4th (bad idea)! Wal-Mart was pretty dull allowing me to jump in and out quickly! I fried a little chicken, made some loaded mashed taters, fresh green beans and corn! I am loving fresh fruits and veggies right now! The corn was fantastic and reminded me of my Grandma's fresh corn off the cob! Watermelon does not stand a chance in my house! I ate a whole watermelon last week and bought a new one on Sunday! I've been itching to make a strawberry tart because the berries have been great!!! But I sure would love to have some of my Grammy's Peach Cobbler... The memories that cross my mind when I think of her Cobbler! Now that's a piece of home that I would do just about anything for!
