    Good grief! I've lived here, or in the South, all my life, and I have no idea what this is!

        That's how it sounds to me, Cel! (Remember, this is Madison County.)

        "Rigor - ear" really made me laugh! =) But I must admit, the "Dayn there in the big box boi the brussel sprayts" made me laugh harder!!

        Our niece showed up as usual on the 31st.. this time she floored me when, as she was almost out the door, she suddenly turned and started delving into her bag, and took a peppermint out (note that it wasn't one of those delightful candy corn Kisses) saying, "ah neeyyyyd sumthn to cm back fur nxt yrrrr" or something. Lord, now I have another thing to dust around =)

              You edited, Suz =)

              There is a definite difference (or defnit diffrunce) between a Pompey "wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and a S********* "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa". Especially after a 4 - 1 score.

              Just glad you came over to the roight soide, Suz. xx

                      Lyn,

                      It's best we don't tell them, here, about pulled pork!! We'll stick to BBQ'ed ribs, then.

                          Yes, Suzi was once commissioned to paint a muriel on Shep Wooley's daughter's wall. Thank goodness they understood each other =)

                          Cel, now you've got me hankerin after hot wings..

                          (Admitting to pulling pork in Pompey isn't quite the same as it means in Georgia, but I love pulled pork over here on occasion.)

                            Suzi! I knew that might be the reaction.

                            It refers to roasted, or barbequed pork roast. It's cooked on a grill. After it's done, you pull it off the bone or you shred it and, it's called pulled pork. Then you serve it with barbeque sauce, either as is or on toasted bread. Barbeque is one of the national dishes of the southern USA. It's not that other---ahem---you know...

                            Lyn, It's lemon pepper wings for us tonight. There's a little place nearby that does excellent pizzas, Philly Cheesesteaks, and the best lemon pepper & buffalo wings in town. Tom was actually invited to be in one of their commercials!

                                In that case, Lyn, Davidos will be a reason facsimile. :-) Crunchy crust, just the right amount of salt to lemon juice and oil ratio and just the right amount of pepper. Bleu cheese and Greek salad on the side.

                                Some people here say earl for oil.
