Once again, almost time for the traditional North Florida fried
mullet, cheese grits, hushpuppies and collards for Thanksgiving.
We'll be having it at St. George Island this year at several beach
houses as the family has gotten to over 60 people. Unfortunately, not
may people eat oysters so we'll have a lot of em wasted but maybe we
can get only 1/4 bushel over in Apalachicola. I'll be camping at the
State Park cuz I'm too cheap to pay so much for a beach house and I
hate them damned beach houses anyway. Gonna take the Tolman and
Grumman canoe. My brother will take two Kayaks and my bros in law
will bring several kayaks too so we may have enough boats. May even
do some fishing.


That sounds real good. Never had mullet, but some guys netting them
at Sebastian pass told me they're good when the right size.
Enjoy! I'm looking foward to stuffing, candied yams, black olives,
and deviled eggs the most. Turkey I can take or leave. Best use of
that turkey is sandwiches for a couple weeks after Thanksgiving.
