My good friend, Mel cooked southern gullah— all day—for me today. We had:
grits covered with bacon gravy and jumbo shrimp; okra; eggplant fritters and strawberry cobbler for dessert.
We drank a bottle of wine and a great time. Mel is southern born and bred and does consider/calls herself a "belle."
She's my straight friend, and damn good to me. Love her to death. Tomorrow we're going to the mountains
to pick up her puppy.
