What's a drawl?????? Asked by someone born and lived in Georgia all my life. Many drawls here in the south, depending on which area someone comes from. Just 'cause we talk slow doesn't mean we think slow. ;-)

Recipe looks great. Think you could substitute rolled oats (can be bought in bulk from some health food stores, and have found them at Whole Foods) for the wheat. We eat a lot of my 'experiments' (most turn out pretty good) so just may try this one. Always looking for a new dish. Thanks!

Every so often, some doctor would suggest I see a speach therapist. My immediate reply was always, Why? Very nice of you to share, good stuff. Madddog, my favorite breakfast is a 3-egg omelet, with any and everything, but the kitchen sink, smothered with SOS.

It was similar to creamed beef, but this was done from scratch. She would get up at 4 am and boil the beef until it fell apart. At the same time she would cook these certain type of oats that took a long time to cook. The process took about 3 to 4 hours. Once it was fiished, she would place it in a bowl and i would sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on it. It was shredded beef in a creamy oat mixture that was sent from heaven. I miss those simple days....

I jokingly say you can feed a southern man a tennis shoe if it's smothered in enough gravy. Did you ever acquire a taste for grits?

More Suthen-ism's:

Only a Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a

conniption fit, and that you don't HAVE them, you PITCH them.

_____

Only a Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens,

peas, beans, etc., make up a mess.

_____

Only a Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of

yonder.

_____

Only a Southerner knows exactly how long directly is, as in: Going to

town, be back directly.

_____

Even Southern babies know that Gimme some sugar is not a request for the

white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl in the

middle of the table.

_____

All Southerners know exactly when by and by is. They might not use the

term, but they know the concept well.

_____

Only a Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for

a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big

bowl of cold potato salad.

If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large

banana puddin!

_____

Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between right near and

a right far piece. They also know that just down the road can be 1

mile or 20

_____

Only a Southerner, both knows and understands, the difference between a

redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.

_____

No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn

signal is actually going to make a turn.

_____

Every Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are

perfectly wonderful; that red eye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that

fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.

_____

When you hear someone say, Well, I caught myself lookin', you know you

are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!

_____

Only true Southerners say sweet tea and sweet milk. Sweet tea

indicates the need for sugar and lots of it -- we do not like our tea

unsweetened. Sweet milk means you don't want buttermilk.

_____

And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old

ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway.

You just say, Bless her heart ... and go your own way.

_____

To those of you who are still a little embarrassed by your Southerness:

Take two tent revivals and a dose of sausage gravy and call me in the

morning. Bless your heart!

________

And to those of you who are still having a hard time understanding all

this Southern stuff...bless your hearts, I hear they are fixin' to have

classes on Southernness as a second language!

_____

And for those that are not from the South but have lived here for a long

time, all y'all need a sign to hang on y'all's front porch that reads I

ain't from the South, but I got here as fast as I could.

________

Southern girls know men may come and go, but friends are fahevah !

_______

Now Shugah, send this to someone who was raised in the South or wish they

had been! If you're a Northern transplant, bless your little heart, fake

it. We know you got here as fast as you could.
