Sorry, Lauren...we may have seen that on our table all our lives, but some of us never ate it. It was only surpassed by the sliced pineapple sitting on a lettuce leaf topped by a glob of Duke's mayo and grated cheese. BUT, I know your momma will be proud that you are re-creating this masterpiece in honor of southern women. On another culinary note, I am getting a whiff of Jessi's pumpkin soup 3,000 miles away...it is to DIE for...yumm...can that be shipped to Monroe, NC? Let's make time for a webcam that day ok and maybe I will be able to do a scratch and sniff on via the laptop?inthemiddleoflifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215044096516755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198877340210115314.post-41313876980678520512008-11-20T13:48:00.000-08:002008-11-20T13:48:00.000-08:00okay Lauren: you made me throw up in mouth with th...okay <BR/>Lauren: you made me throw up in mouth with the National Lampoon comment!<BR/>Jessi: <BR/>a. your kitchen sounds like heaven. do yall need a chef out there?<BR/>b.
