Geeze that is good food.

We old Kentucky hillbillies know good food when we see it.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit
The more you eat, the more you poot
The more you poot, the better you feel.
So let's have beans with every meal.​

I'm fairly certain we had soup beans every week when I was growing up. Was sick of them those days. They are one of my favorite meals these days. When we go to dinner or lunch at Cracker Barrel I never get anything except a bowl of soup beans.

Beans, beans, good for your heart.
The more you eat, the more you fart.
The more you fart, the better you feel.
So let's have beans with every meal.

Yep.
 
White beans, mashed potatoes and a slice of white bread was our supper most days growing up. Then dad decided we (meaning me) needed a very large garden. Did I ever mention that I hate gardens? The way things are looking, I may get to re-live part of my childhood though!!!
I hated gardening when I was a kid.............now..........I can hardly wait for spring to start my garden........I guess gardening is more fun when you want to to it.......and their ground was old clay........weeding it was like pulling wire out of dried concrete....

White beans? Just gotta be a rebel, huh?

Yeah, my Ma worked in pots of white beans and green beans occasionally.

We never ate white (light) bread. Biscuits and cornbread. My greatest shock when I moved "up North" was discovering that people ate white bread for meals instead of biscuits and cornbread.

I ate soup beans many mornings cold. I was thankful.
 
Perhaps someone can tell me why the SEC starts their tournament a day later than most and finish selection Sunday. I think it hurts our SEC teams ability to get better seeds when I believe that most decisions on seeds has been determined already, With Auburn one spot ahead of us in the rankings (I know that is not the only factor) and if we both make the championship game and we beat them, you would think that would help our case for a number one seed. However, that might have already been determined if we both make the final. I just hope they get ousted before the final as I think thy have the tougher bracket in the tournament.
The same answer as always: TV $. ACC tourney had the prime slot - Saturday nite final - before the SEC ever started their tourney & this is the slot they got.

I actually don't mind cold soup beans.

We used to have a wood/coal kitchen stove. My mother kept a big pot off on the side of the stove where she threw table scraps, liquids and all, that she gave to somebody who had hogs. Basically a slop bucket. My older teenage brother came in late one night without turning on the light and ate a big spoonful out of that slop bucket thinking it was beans. We teased him about that for many years. We never used to refrigerate leftovers.
 
Sometimes you eat the snake...

Looking forward to the tournament. It should be a good one. This one is bigger than just the SEC Tournament.

I used to put 4 cans of great northern beans along with an entire kielbasa sausage sliced up in it in a crock pot before work. Threw a roughly chopped onion and too much cayenne in there and turned her on low til I got home. Good eatin right there and the best was when I would forget that I had started it that morning. Surprise food is good food.

My folks grew up in the Depression years. They both were in very large families. Dad was the oldest kid, so he had to quit school in the third grade to help with the small family farm. He was pretty smart, just not educated and was a hard worker. Mom had to quit in the sixth grade. She was also a hard worker. They never had much till they were older and we started a small family business. White bread was cheap and easy.

I remember the times when I scraped mold off certain areas to get to the beans. It was rough winters in the Detroit slums. (Brought back to memory when you mentioned the stove.)
 


Morning Legionnaires!

50's on tap today for the high with moderate winds. All the talk of eating beans might add to the wind. Just in case you need a proctological exam to prepare for that I have an old Army buddy who could help out in the area: Field expedient Method.

Perhaps we should use that on Biden?

I wouldn't grip it like that after he did! 😁
 
Good morning folks. Rainy and cold here. Two cups of coffee to warm me after my morning hike.

I saw somewhere that today was the 50th anniversary of the premier of Godfather 1. Dang, that half century went by fast. I can still remember sitting in a theater in Newport with my high school girlfriend watching it. I'd just got my driver's license. What a movie. I walked around for weeks muttering lines like this one:
 
Good morning from ATX. Current temperature = 38°F and clear with a light northerly breeze. Chilly. Our high expected around 64°F.

First SEC men's tournament games playing today. Glad our Cats earned a bye.

Happy Hump Day.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

We made some meatballs out of duck breast.........they are so good we kind of save them for special meals.........cheers!
 
Good morning D

We have 76° at the present time with winds from the South at 12 mph. Our high will reach 81° around noon. The skies have scattered clouds and chance of rain around 30% late afternoon.

This weekend starts Spring Break in some places and it is estimated as man as 520,000 spring breakers will visit THIS week-end. For the next month we will be crowded with them. Fortunately we do not get them up here. Unless they want to go gator hunting. We do not have any hotels or commercial building on our beach so no room for them.

How many yellow cardinals have you seen or met? They found one over at UF.

Never even knew they could happen much less have seen one. Not sure I would have recognized it as a cardinal without this. Thanks.
 
Well, you see, cardinals are usually red. This one is yellow. Word on the street is that it's a one in a million mutation. I think that may be an estimate though. Hope that clears it up some.
I am enlightened. One in a million mutation means there are not many of them around. It is what I call a rare bird.

Rooster would know. Or Awf.

I will look it up later but I suspect a mutation................the reason most of the mutations don't survive is it makes them stand out in the crowd......I would like to do some test breeding with this bird........then I could tell for sure plus who knows where the red and green feather coloring would lead to.......it hasn't been too long since the first blue budgerigar mutation and that has many new colors.....my grandparents live on KY 222 right next to WK Parkway......there was a solid white cardinal that hung around the farm house for three years before it disappeared.......it was not an albino but a white Cardinal...

It was the University of Louisville Cardinal this winter when they chickened out of the Kentucky basketball game! A yeller Card.
 
During my working career, the company I worked with owned this hotel. The Don CeSar located on the Gulf at St Pete Beach. We held seminars and training sessions there and gathered for a week several times a year. The company saved thousands in expenses and it was like being on vacation for the employees.

It has been there a long time
