A beautiful town.<br /><br />Sam, I love that you like my hens! My grandmother and baby sister gave me my first one when I got married and moved away from Texas to Tennessee. I loved it. I forgot to take a picture of it as it's in the china cabinet with a poor broken back! I dropped it very early on and glued it back together as much as possible, but there was a missing piece and it, alas, has a hole in it!<br /><br />Would love to see your hens or "shickens". Are they majolica?

First came across them in the sixties, but it wasn't until several years later that I understood and appreciated them. My favorite now are cheese/garlic my wife fixes -- though not often enough. <br />And by the way, your clock must have a lot more hours in the day than mine to get so much accomplished. Your blogs (plural) are fantastic and so professional looking.

I never knew that there was a real face behind the Duncan Hines brand. <br /><br />Loved the grits for breakfast story, how can anybody be so grumpy? "They just comes" reminds me of Venetian polenta, which looks like grits (they make it with white corn meal) and also "just comes" with every meal, or so it seems. ;-)<br /><br />Your friend's friend has it right, travelling is indeed a very good excuse to eat more than usual! <br /><br />I spied your name on Vicky Lane's blog and simply had to follow the link.
