born and raised up north , love black eyed peas and corn bread .
i really tried 5 different way to cook collard / mustard greens , even sautéed in pure Bacon drippings , just an acquired taste i guess .

Southerngunner isn't just a handle I made up. I am a son of the south born in Ole Miss 70 years ago.
Black eyed peas and corn bread are on the menu for tomorrow for sure. Don't walk under ladders and cross yourself when a black cat crosses your path. That's normal right?
I wish everyone a safe and prosperous new year ,and more bullseye than ever.

Hello @Southerngunner ,

Well you are also welcome to sit at my table anytime. I didn't fix regular pan cornbread this time but I will fry a full plate of Hot Water Cornbread.

For you folks that don't know what Hot Water Cornbread is, here is a photo.

Sausage gravy I say! Get some!

I dont think so, they tried testing me for that a couple of weeks ago, but invane as it necessitate you sleep with the gear on, and i had to return that at 9 in the morning, which is " normally " about when i fall asleep even if i went to bed at midnight.

But other than that i sleep very well and uninterrupted when i finally fall asleep, dont think i have sleep apnea TBH, rather stress or whatever CUZ my damn brain will not shut up when i go to bed,,,, or that is it will for a few days every 1-2 months then i am back to the grind i have been in for over a decade, a grind my doctor are apparently dont think is a problem, CUZ i have complained for over a decade now.

Mind you " normally " i only sleep for 3-4-5 hours around noon, only rarely do i get as much as 6-7-8 hours, that's on the rare days when my brain do let me fall asleep pretty much at once, CUZ i am of course always tired.

Do you have any pedal edema? Swelling of the hands, feet or ankles?

 

[beerthief]

Yes, we used to kill hogs every year and would have several hams in the smoke house. Can't find those readily available today..lol. And fresh tenderloin the same day we butchered the hogs,
with homemade biscuits. Love all kinds of southern food.

Lord have mercy.

Nope no swellings anywhere.
I do have a sore throat and might have what is called a cold pneumonia here, and this have also rolled in in the past 2 days.
But i have had much worse sore throat and the lungs actually feel just fine, very little coughing going on and not much in the way of temperature i can feel.

There is a lot of that pneumonia going around now + flu and new covid strains, every year when the rest of the country are down with stuff like that i might get a sore throat of a runny nose, it have been over 3 decades since i had the flu, well at least as i remember it from my youth.

00:44 finally they are done setting off fireworks, i have 4 flashlights in the window flashing in Psycho mode, i might trigger a seizure on someone walking by

I forgot today was New Year’s Eve until I heard fireworks and looked at my phone. I’ve been on paternity leave for 2.5 months, so I’m like a retired person, my days just run into each other with no consequence
