Today is Independence Day and the inaugural day of our posting to this blog!
I wanted a way to update family and friends on what's going on in our lives, the exciting and the mundane!
Today, I went a little crazy. I decided to cook, which in itself is a phenomenon. But it was a holiday and I decided I would cook a very Southern meal. I guess it came about because I came across a blog that caught my attention and spurred me on! If you want to check it out: http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com.
I decided to fry chicken and fix all that goes with it. Keep in mind, I haven't fried anything in probably close to twenty years! But it sounded good and it just felt right.
With the chicken we had mashed potatoes and cream gravy, macaroni and cheese, fresh green beans and fresh peach pie for dessert.
D.T., bless his heart, hopped up as soon as we were finished and cleaned up. We kind of have an unspoken agreement that whoever doesn't cook does the clean up. We had it knocked out in no time.
Now we are watching a great movie, "The Love of the Game" with Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston with Dub and Mosley. The neighbors are shooting off fireworks. Perfect!
It was a lot of work but it was a great day. I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day as much!
