I went out Saturday and had a blast with the niece and

I plan on going several times more this years if fuel stays low.
What?

You have your own business - just charge it off. :)
Went float tubing Saturday. Does that count?

Do you own your own business? :)

Truce on political posts? I'm in.. But can I still tweak Loogie off

Hell yeah, you can. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences!!!!

I eat at Cracker Barell just so I can get their bowl of turnip greens
and ham.

Yay. Another greens lover!

I love all greens except spinach, which is another story. When I was
young,
my grandmother would cook collard greens and also chittlins at the same
time. Only a true southerner even knows what chittlins are. When she would
cook them, the smell was so bad the flies would be covering the screen
door
trying to get out.

The big question with chittlins is whether they've been machine
cleaned or 'hand slung'. Hand slung has more flavor. But they sure as
hell stink up a kitchen.

My grandfather used to say "Chittlins aren't good if they don't still have a
little corn in them."

BTW, northerners and snooty southerners call them "chitterlings".

One of my golfing buddies has a small farm out by Nokesville, VA. He
keeps me in collard greens most of the year. I'm not wild about
spinach either, but if the store has the bags of fresh stuff on sale I
may cook up a few bags. Fresh spinach is altogether different from
canned.

Fresh spinach is delicious. I just can't eat the steamed stuff. Tried it
as a kid, gagged like crazy. At age 35, tried it again, it looked and
smelled really good. Gagged again. Now at age 72, don't think I want to
try it any more.



Do any fishing out at the jetties?

As a matter of fact, I did yesterday. Took my landlubber son-in-law for the
morning. He caught a 4 foot long bonnet head, which I refused to let join us
in the boat. We then went upriver to my favorite sweet spot for big reds. He
caught a 42 inch female, which we promptly released, of course. I caught
couple of undersized black sea bass. Came close to making him walk back to
the Mayport ramp.

The jetties were always one of my favorite inshore places to fish when
we lived in the area, plus, you could stop at Singleton's on the way
home for a damned fine meal.

I also liked the ramp near the White Shell bait and tackle operation
on the ICW just north of the river. Heading up the ICW from there are
about a zillion places to catch trout, reds, flounder, et cetera, and
then we'd head out to Nassau Sound for whiting.

Also liked St. Augustine fishing once we moved down there. We lived a
little south of the seaplane basin at the St. Augustine airport, but on
the other side of the ICW.

The White Shell ramp is no more. The little bar, bait store, and camp ground
is gone. I think the city bought the land for conservation. Lots of campers
still use the site year round. Haven't done much fishing toward St.
Augustine.

Ma's and Dad's yelling "Eat your spinach" isn't an urban legend,
that's for sure. I like spinach except for the canned stuff.
That's what got me yelled at.

The first I ever heard of 'em was when I lived in the Kansas City area.
Never ate any. Overhead a discussion of them in the city room at the
paper. First place I ever ate "Mexican" food, at Los Corrals in Kansas
City, which is still the

http://www.restaurant.com/microsite....4702&rpid=3406

And KC was the first place I ate barbecue, at Bryant's. And there was a
place that served steak and eggs for a dollar...steak, eggs, fries,
toast...a buck. Coffee was a buck.

We didn't have that sort of food readily available in New Haven. But we
had lots of European immigrants, and therefore lots of Italian,
Hungarian, German, French restaurants, and thanks to the foreign
language school at Yale, some really top-drawer Chinese restaurants.
