I miss FTF. Little Debbies = Awesomeness (my daughter is going to University at the school where the factory is located...I wonder if she can get me free ones). Collard greens and grits is pretty Southern American. Since I'm one of those dislocated "damn Yankees", I still haven't acquired a taste. Ditto for fried okra. (Apparently collard greens are best smothered in lard--just the thought makes me want to....well....nvm.)<br /><br />I'm glad you have someone nearby who is willing to let you use their hot water.

We planted a huge garden since we're back to the land where you can do that with good results; and they are very excited. So, one more thing on my to-do (or to-make) list...<br />Anyway, so glad you have hot water again, I've been on a visit to Alaska with the kids, so have been missing out on what you're up to! Will catch up when I get home next week, you'll be out of the shower by then and blogging again? ;)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373690717054457741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-6352212439574256872011-07-02T03:05:38.205+09:302011-07-02T03:05:38.205+09:30Happy to be member of your favorite thing world, S...Happy to be member of your favorite thing world, Shay! <br /><br />I have never eaten some of the veggies on your new treasure of a quilt.

Little Debbies has a variety of "cakes," my favorites are the Oatmeal Cream cookies! Talk about a sugar rush! My daughter's first boyfriend delievered Little Debbie cakes on the weekend. He would bring us the "day old" cakes. Needless to say, I was sorry the day she broke up with him! One thing missing from the box was RC Cola and peanuts! Yumm...<br /><br />I know you will enjoy everything in the box.

There is no reasoning with those people about their grits. Even the word...grits. Blech. This spoken by a Canuck who enjoys cheese "curds" and gravy on fries to make "poutine."

Hang in there though. Remember those Koolaid packets, are actually sugar free, you have to add sugar to them, so you can make them as sweet or not as you want. I usually only make it with about 1/2 the sugar that it calls for. Collard greens, yuk.......grits well lots of butter, and then you are either a sugar adder ,or a salt n pepper adder. Me I add sugar, hubby adds salt n pepper. Ooooohh OREOS!!! That is the best part, where ol where is the ice cold milk???? I hope you enjoy all the great stuff in your box.

That would drive me nuts. <br /><br />Would you believe I've never had grits and I've only had collard greens once. If you haven't eaten the collard greens yet, the way I had them was with like a pound of bacon so they were pretty good .. just a thought .. :)<br /><br />If it were summer there, I'd suggest you make Kool Aid ice cubes for Little P. When I was a kid, you had to add sugar to the Kool Aid.<br /><br />I saw the veggie quilt yesterday but had no idea it was for you.

We had to go to the local high school for showers in their locker rooms. A big room with shower heads all around, you had to leave your towel outside and walk in stark naked.
