Where is the new southern cookbook?

I saw a bit today on this site about a cookbook with Mississippi Delta recipes that sounded great. Thought they were having a recipe from the book each day this week. Did I miss it?

Cook the Book: 'Summer on a Plate'

I thought it would sound sappy if I said "my mother," but many others obviously had the same experience. My mother cooked fabulous food. Many of my friends in our small South Georgia town had never heard of the things she made. Hollandaise sauce was a mystery to lots of folks in the days when I grew up. Not to my mother. She also made her own mayonnaise but I refused to eat it. I loved that stuff in a jar from the supermarket. But I did love virtually every thing else she made.

Strange combos

As a child, I loved potato chip sandwiches on white bread with mayonnaise.
Yesterday I saw someone with an urge that, frankly, was disgusting. He came into a restaurant where they serve good southern food. Many of us Southerners like hot pepper & vinegar on our greens (turnips and collards). This many picked up the pepper/vinegar bottle from the table and took a sip.
Didn't mind that he liked it, but hated that he just drank from the bottle. Of course I told the server, who winced and moved the bottle after the man left.

Does Activia Yogurt Offer Any Health Benefits?

I tried Activia and it made me sick--an upset stomach. I object to its health claims and would not touch it again.

Another thing is delivering pizza is one fo the most dangerous in the U.S. I'm sure Papa Johns isn't hurting that bad for money and if they are then they need to get out of the pizza business.

I personally would have to say that Papa Johns will most likely stop delivering, because there is no way people will deliver for them. First of all Their paycheck would be very small, because they have to claim their tips. Second the drivers would not make enough money to pay for the use of their vehicles. I personally never liked Papa Johns anyway. If they have to be that greedy then I really do hope they go under, the sooner the better. this way they wouldn't be able to take advantage there their employees. Another point is they are delivery drivers not waiters. them getting tipped has nothing to do with Papa Johns.

If you are a Papa Johns customer then try to always tip the delivery driver in cash so that way they won't have to report them and papa johns will have to pay them minimum wage.

I think the ghost of Julia Child will be with most of us, whether or not we recognize it, and these days, I love watching the Iron Chefs.

I like Paula Deen because most of her recipes are similiar to my Mom's southern style.
