"Savannah" dinner

[Smiling JOe]

I think Dothan is a lovely town...beautiful old homes!!!!

I think you may be thinking of Eufaula, located about 50 miles north of Dothan.

I think you might be right. I was trying to think where all the beautiful old homes are when you're passing thru to the beach.

[Miss Kitty]

"Tater Boogers".....just makes me laugh Please post the recipe gttbm

That is hysterical!

I am licking my chops just thinking about those grits at the Baithouse!!! I will be there Monday morning!!!

I think you may be right and Allifunn may be thinking of Eufaula, but Dothan does have some lovely old homes but you don't see them passing through to the beach.

One of the best things about Dothan is location - close to beach, close to Atlanta

Does anyone wonder where SJ is originally from? I'm thinking he knows WAY too much about LA (& I don't mean Calif.) not to be from there!

[Sheila]

I'm going to get FutureBeachBum to post it. We have an "arrangement" he cooks I clean. I am fairly convinced he gets the better end of the deal. it's worh it though. That boy can cook.

Ok. Here you go!

ngredients:

Leftover Red Bar/331 mashed potatoes
Dice up 1/4 sweet onion
Dice up 1 fresh jalapeno
Dice up 1/4 fresh sweet pepper
Butter/Olive Oil (your choice)
1 tsp parsley
Bread crumbs (I use Italian)
Shredded cheese (I use cheddar usually)
Milk/Cream

Pan the veggies in a little butter or olive oil.

Combine in a bowl with the potatoes and cheese. If the mixture seems too stiff add a bit of milk. If it is too loose, add a bit of flour.

Shape into patties

Dredge in the bread crumbs

Pan in butter/olive oil over medium heat until golden brown, turning once.

Now we'll have to kill ya! ENJOY!!!!

She's on the road. Maybe I'll phone her the recipe.

Johnrudy - I asked above but he doesn't respond....I don't think he likes me....no tar, not many postings, no pics and don't really debate on the board (like some from the RE forum - whew!), however, I actually probably admire him, his pics, his knowledge and his humor more than anyone on here . I have asked before before he won't tell. Could be his goobers really aren't safe in Dothan. Such a NUT JK

[Allifunn]

just smack me ...Eufaula it is :oops: .....

Allifunn - Eufaula really is a nice old town with beautiful houses. If you ever get a chance stop by the "Shorter Mansion" and tour it. It is right on 431 on the right (traveling from Atlanta). Been going to the lake there all my life although we did not have a home there, but hope to next year. We bought the perfect lot on the lake there last year and I hope, hope, hope, we get to build on it.

I remember it as a beautiful old town with lovely homes right on the main drag....I always wanted to stop and explore...but it was always at spring break... and no time to stop and smell the roses!!! I will have to make it a road trip by myself sometime...then I can stop and enjoy!!!!....BTW...I am sure SJ does not care how many posts you have or that you don't have a tar...if he didn't like you...I think you would know it.... Just ask BMBV!!!!....PS...good luck with the lake house plans!!!!!!!

Eufaula has there annual "Pilgrimage" this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with ample Antebellum homes on tour and hot chicks dressed up in hoop skirt dresses. There are many events, much more than just the hot chicks and houses. The Shorter Mansion, named after Governor Shorter who was governor of AL during the Civil War, will be on tour.

Shorter Mansion


The Shorter Mansion gets the most attention, (It was used in a recent movie about a girl from Alabama falls in love... I am terrible with movie stars and movie titles, but you have probably seen it.) but the Beaslely home, located a few lots to the north, is the real gem.


Foy-Beasley Home




Actually, for a brief period of time during the Civil War (which was not truly a "civil war") Gov Shorter moved the capital from Montgomery to AL so that the Yankees couldn't destroy it. Blah, blah, blah.

Imasunbum, where is your lot located? I am guessing you bought south of the City of Eufaula on the bluffs.

Sorry I missed ya'll last night - took medicine for aching back/shoulder and went to bed.

Oops I said above post but it was actually #5 on the Alabama thread in the lounge (where you be from )

My lot is south of the city but not the bluffs. It is one of the level lots in Turner III (Thomas Mill Creek - know it?) where they have sold off and developed the lots where the park used to be.

[imasunbum]

Thanks to SJ for posting that the Eufaula's Annual Pilgrimage event is this weekend. Since we didn't go to the beach I may try to rope my crew into going up to the art show and if I can't I may just go by myself! Thanks SJ.

Maybe I will see you there on my way back from Asheville. I plan on stopping for a little peek, myself, if I am not first turned off from all of the people.

SJ are you avoiding my question Where you be from???

Do you know Thomas Mill Creek?

[Smiling JOe]

Sorry, I somewhat answered the question on the thread in which you asked the original question.

I don't know Thomas Mill Creek by name, but that doesn't mean much. I cannot tell you the names of most famous people whom everyone knows. Where is TMC?

Nor can I.

TMC is several sloughs (spell?) south of White Oak Creek. It used to be a park for campers. There is a gas station/bait shop/store there that sells really good hotdogs. Can't really tell you the names of the county roads - just know how to get there. Anyway - beautiful, level with the water, waterfront lot, and lucky to get it last year because prices have gone up as all other waterfront prices have.

I kind of thought that area might be where you bought. I know the area, but like you, have no clue as to road names. "just turn at the gas station where they sell ... and go until the road stops, then take a right on the second road to the left (no road sign), cross the first bridge and.... etc. That whole area south of Eufaula will be growing quite a bit more over the next 10-15 years.

That confused me a little but I should have said it is right next to Doctors Point II.

Sorry for the confusion, I was only giving an example of someone giving directions in that area. I know where Doctors Point II is located.

Well, thought I'd "report" on how our Savannah dinner went.

My chicken, sausage and ham pot over rice was tasty...thank goodness. To tell you the type of people these are...Barbara said that meal was STUPENDOUS! Very, very kind people to be sure. We also served a green salad, rolls and butter and of course, Key Lime Pie for dessert (can't get West Key Limes here though, unfortunately).

Funny, funny thing though. Our friends brought back several different kinds of grits from the Savannah area on their return home! I told our story about being on-line here and asking for suggestions for a Savannah-type dinner. Barbara started asking me all about grits. I couldn't really answer one question so I told her I'd ask the experts here.

Does size matter regarding grits? Barb claims she has a few different sizes of grits.

What are "self-levening" grits? She also brought back some self-levening corn meal.

I can't wait to get back down south again to try out some of the wonderful recipes/ideas here for ways to serve grits. They all sound soooo good!

Your enlightenment regarding grits would be appreciated! I'll pass the info on to our friends, although I did give her the addy here, so maybe she'll be a new member soon.

[imasunbum]

Glad your dinner went well Whitesands - I know where to get my grits, I recognize the box, I know how to cook them but I just don't seem to do a good job of explaining it so I'll leave that to the experts

Thanks imasunbum, you're very sweet!

Does anyone have an answer as to my questions...(one above imasunbum's post)? I'd love to share any information you have with my friend.

[Allifunn]

I am not sure ...but large grits are called hominy??? In my book ...grits is grits.....cook them long and slow enough and they will be great..I am making Shrimp and grits for the Chi O's parent's weekend Brunch....these girls love grits.. I have never heard of self levening grits....

BTW...glad your dinner went well!!!!!!

[Johnrudy]

I agree with Allifunn - -grits is grits to me too & I've never heard of large or small. etc. Except maybe hominy and that's about the grossest thing I've ever TRIED to eat! It's like trying to eat chunks of candle wax. (My mother tried to make me eat some once - - probably as some form of punishment!)
As far as the self-levening, I guess that's like self-rising flour, another southern staple. I've never noticed if what I buy is self levening or not.
