Thursday Thirteen

Because I'm all over the map on these "Thursday Thirteens"

How about I offer up 13 comfort foods?

1) Ham, black-eyed peas, and greens
2) fried okra
3) fried 'maters (like gramma does 'em).
4) muscadines
5) blackberries (w00t!) (that image is a desktop from Miller Soap (I don't know either), so feel free to use it).
6) Lasagna
7) Goulash (the rest of it looked good, so I posted the whole page).
8) Bar-b-q ribs (because if you spell it right, you probably can't cook it right).
9) Fried chicken
10) Warm bagel
11) Tea (Milo's is also famous for their french fries. For some reason.)
12) Cold Pizza (breakfast only).
13) Big ol' bag of pork rinds.

Much of this is the result of a southern upbringing, and the various german sausages didn't make the cut (har!) mostly owing to the fact that I haven't had a good one in ages, much like sauerkraut. America does those things poorly. I have managed to find some decent confections over the years, and I strongly recommend that you hussle over to Ethel M for some o' them.

A big shout out to smugmug for some fine pictures of food.

I was referring to food that gives me comfort. There were a few things that didn't make the list because I thought of them too late and was too lazy to edit my post.

Having never been to Wisconsin, I can hope that a good German sausage can be found there. It's hard to beat the stuff they put together at the end of a volksmaerchen.

(Local rumour is that a Deli (with a capital "d") in Southern Grackle by the name of Schmidt's has authentic german sausages, and they'll cook 'em a treat. Should my family ever get out of our financial difficulties, it'll be a stop and a half.)
