Southern Cooking

So today I might have taken a few too many prescription meds which might have lead to some fun activities like writing a cookbook. Cause who doesn't write recipes when all jacked up on prescription meds? 


My big idea was to take my fav recipes and give them a southern twist. My world came crashing down about 3 minutes in cause everything I know about cooking can be summed up in 3 rules of thumb: 


1. add a minimum of 1 stick of butter per recipe.
2. for savory dishes, use Lawry's Seasoned Salt
3. deep fry everything, including candy bars dipped in funnel cake batter. Its delish, I promise.




Yeah, that about sums it up. Butter, Lawry's, and deep fat fry; the spirit of all things Southern Cookin.


That also explains why I gained like 15lbs this summer.


That, and cake.

Then, the very next day, Littlest took a dog bite to the face and kept on kickin


For the first time in 2 years finally went down the slide!





And then we wound up back here. I think thats some kind of record! 3 days in a row, best. vaca. ever.


So we fixed her up with  .... you guessed it! CAKE!



Even Chubaca shared in the festivities! Just look at that restraint! And the demon eye. I think he was trying to use his telekinesis powers. Or maybe he was just constipated. 


And then I shared some finger painting skills with Chicken Wing. He is a quick study.



And now if only Bert would have her dang baby already we could call this an 


"Almost, But Not Quite, Perfect Summer"
