You can't even find real sweet tea west of the Mississippi. And I include Texas in that. Putting sugar into the tea after you get the cup doesn't make it real sweet tea. LOL

Oh NO you did NOT.

As someone who was raised in Louisiana which just happens to be west of the Mississippi, I'll issue a throwdown to you.

My sweet tea vs yours.

Hmmph. Bring it, sportswriter.

I do like calling myself a Southern Belle and/or a Steel Magnolia. There are things I love about the South and things I hate.

What do I hate?

THE BUGS! Nice thing about living in Colorado was that the fleas completely died off in the winter. And I never saw even one palmetto bug.

What do I love?

  • Lazy bayous just waiting for me to slip the canoe in and go for a while
  • Gators sunning themselves on the bank.
  • Great Blue Herons fishing like old men who never want to leave the bank
  • Spanish Moss which is a true indicator about who won between the French and Spanish cultural invasion of the South. It used to be called Frenchmans's Beard.
  • Evangeline's Oak
  • Box sliding on the levee
  • Mint Juleps
  • Knowing what someone means when they say "who dat"
  • Knowing the right response to "where you at" is "hello"


All of that and more is Louisiana to me.

Oh edited to add that my preferred grits are with butter, salt and pepper and a fried egg on top.

Although I do love Grits & Grillades.

Dearest Southern Belle,
I dare say your tea is pretty damn good. But you KNOW you can't find good sweet tea in the restaurants down there. You have to admit it. LOL

P.S. I love how people call them Palmetto bugs. Hell, they're just big ol' flying roaches. *wink*

Well, I'd have to utterly disagree with you on the good sweet tea in restaurants, honey. Even here in Texas they have good sweet tea. Find a McAllister's next time you are in this area. I actually bought a jug to take home.

My preference is to call them "SHRIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK" but I've found that many of my acquaintances prefer to have their ear drums left intact.

I'll take you up on that tour guide! I love your state. My best friend moved there so I visited a lot in my younger days. Of course, it was just up to Crossett and Hamburg. LOL

You are right about the stereotyping jokes. I honestly think that most of those types of jokes are fear-based. Whether that fear is a fear of the unknown or a real fear, I just wouldn't know. Have to be on an individual basis.

But I try not to categorize all Yankees as stiff and rude. I can only control what is in my hula hoop. :*

Psst, McAllisters is a chain, not a real restaurant, and from what I hear, yes, they do have good tea. But as a rule, it's pretty hard to find brewed tea with sugar already added. Just sayin. *grin*

I remember my freshman year in college. We walked into the dorm and there was a HUGE effing "palmetto" up on the wall. My friend with me was from Oregon and it was the first she'd ever seen. You should have seen the look on her face when I just slipped off my shoe, smacked it then walked away. LOL

As for Yankees, I know a number of them and they're all pretty good peeps. Some of them have strange ways, but it's their upbringing, I imagine. *grin*

So, I called up my mom the other day to make sure she was picking up some food for tomorrow. For us, it's always been a tradition of black-eyed peas (for good luck) and collard greens (for money) that we eat on New Year's Day to set the year up right. I talked with another friend of mine in a border state and she said for them, it's cabbage for luck and money. Any of you got any other food traditions?

Have fun today!

I've always just done the black eye peas for luck thing - and will be doing it this evening of course. We're also having spinach, a tradition from my partner's family, which I'm thinking is probably - like the collards - for money.

Really looking forward to my wonderfully Southern New Year's Day dinner!!!!!

Although I did work today, I got up and made a can of black-eyed peas and fried a piece of ham for my brunch. I have cabbage in the fridge but did not make any slaw. Boo. lol!

One of the managers today brought in broccoli and cheese casserole along with a pot of some of the BEST hoppin' john I've ever had. Asked for the recipe even. MMMMMM.

So I got my greens, beans and ham.

I used to have a New Year's Day open house where I made a huge pot of red beans along with black-eyed peas, cornbread, coleslaw and ham for folks. It was always a bunch of fun. I loved starting my New Year off with good times in the house. Maybe I'll do that next year if I'm not working.

No greens, beans or ham for me today. Crap! I totally spaced on it before work.

In my house, it was explained that the peas were for change, like pennies, the greens for green money and meat (usually ham) for good fortune/lack of want/need.

Maybe the deli in the grocery store next door has some things in their cooler...

I was talking real sweet tea.........my Mother made sweet tea in a special pot.........it was only for tea and never ever did soap and water touch that pot. She put at least 6 tea bags in that pot (about a half gallon of water), brought it to a good boil, turned the heat off and dumped in at least a cup of sugar and stirred. Then you get a glass, fill with ice and pour that hot sweet tea in the glass and enjoy!

Everybody I know in NM makes sweet tea that way. You can actually buy a gallon jug of sweet tea in the grocery store in my hometown. It don't taste bad.........and will do in a pinch.

I just got back from a road trip (in my new to me car) to NM. I stopped at some truck stop in AZ and ordered iced tea and the waitress asked if I wanted sweet or regular. I said sweet of course and it was pretty good..........lots better than trying to put sugar in tea at the table.......



as to special food on new year's day........not in my family.....new year's day is when you take down the xmas tree and all the lights & decorations outside and stored them for next year........Mother usually made soup that day (beef soup.....chunks of stew meat, taters and spaghetti noodles....brown the meat in the soup pot, fill with beef stock, add taters, noodles and simmer for about an hour).......oh yeah and football on the tv........

Yup, my traditions for New Years are similar to everyone's thus far.

Black eyed peas, collards or turnips with ham... Oh, and I made homemade cornbread & bruschetta to swap with leftovers. Dessert was brownies--so, needless to say, afterward I wanted to take a nap [I call it "food drunk"]

Hope ya'lls New Year is off to a blissful start!
