My family does a lil something called "chocolate and biscuits"--it's just cocoa, tons of sugar, and some yummy biscuits :-) It never ceases to make someone wrinkle their noses.

And, biscuits (my absolute weakness), purdy purdy please?!

Well, I make some of the best sausage gravy ya ever put in your mouth. But, my all time favorite, hot bauld (sic) p-nuts from the lil ole man on the side of the road.

One of my favorite things about the South is music... even in a particular genre, there are many flavors for the ears to taste...

One of my other favorite things is southern women. We rock. Period.

Here's to celebrating all us grownass southern women!

To go back to the beginning of the thread.

I love to go barefoot and proud of it! It is warmer in the South.

There are red necks everywhere. Go to a tractor pull in Los Angeles and look for yourselves.

The North actually is way more segregated than the South. In Detroit and Chicago for example the races live pretty separately, not in case in Nashville. I was shocked the first time I visited Detroit, I found it amazingly racist. Still. My G/F is from upstate New York, they did not even go to school with anyone Black or Latino, in the 70's and 80's and her family uses the N word (she does not).

Actually NEW YORK used to be the center of slavery, it was just earlier than in the South. Slavery came to the South with the cotton gin much later on.

Black slaves built the White House and most of our country, its not just the South who had slavery.

The confederate flag? Yes, most people see it as racist, I don't fly it. I did however see a Vespa with a confederate flag on it the other day and almost wrecked laughing.

I love Nashville, it is a great place to be.

It makes me angry to hear about people in the South being dumb and having a bad rep. Come on, everywhere has its drawbacks.

Yes indeedy, we love some southern women! We saw this family perform this song last year at the Ryman... Her voice and the acoustics of this wonderful hall of music history brought chills and still do when I hear it! Hope y'all like it!

Oh, and by the way, here is the CSA website link, just in case anyone THOUGHT this wasn't a racist website, yeah right: http://www.confederatestatesofameric...asterindex.htm

Pretty funny, through out it keeps saying "This is NOT a racist website". Well, gee, if it wasn't why the heck do you keep saying that? Duhhhh.

Legendryder · 12-22-2009, 06:18 PM

Oh, and by the way, I can take everything this "non-racist" website says, and cite proof that disproves it. So, please, try me. I have nothing else better to do. And a huge academic data base or two to smack you down with. Try me.

Maybe the flag in itself is not racist, but for me, as long as there is a perception of racism, I can't fly it or have anything to do with it.

It does irk me a bit when people outside the South completely see racism and slavery as a Southen issue.

and while we are on the subject of things that irk me...laugh.
It irks the HELL out of me when someone calls me a Southern Belle.
VOMIT
I was not presented at a debutant ball and would not want to be and do not live on a plantation.

Toughy · 12-23-2009, 11:06 AM

Aside from those stars and bars as a symbol of slavery and racism; it is also a symbol of a group of States who seceded from the United States......traitors to this country during the Civil War and today.

What I find ironic is the same folks who believe in 'America love it or leave it' think the US was founded as a Christian nation, and wear little US flag lapel pins are also the same ones who belong to the CSA and fly and defend the flag of traitors.

by the way.....we drink sweet tea in the southwest also......actually I thought we in the southwest invented sweet tea.......laughin....

Oh wow, where to begin ...
It's hard to explain. Yes, bauld = boiled (just said in the vernacular).
Boiled peanuts taste nothing like roasted. When peanuts are boiled, they take on the flavoring of whatever you boil them with (they have specialty versions too, like the hot, cajun ones our peanut guy brings around to our news room).

A lot of people will actually suck on the shell first to get the full flavor before pulling it open for the peanuts. mmmmm.

You really need to come check out the Southern delicacies. *grin*

Boiled peanuts are the best. Especially when you buy them from the old guy in a little shack on the side of the road...

First things first: Good to see you, darlin! *grin*
And you're totally right about the guy selling them on the side of the road. We've gotten lazy. There is a peanut guy who brings them to us at the paper. Alas, I rarely have cash on me.
