Home alone

The missus is away for the better part of the weekend, hopefully coaching her basketball team to victory in a Christmas tournament. By default, I'm home, alone, a bachelor again. I'm thinking I'll need angioplasty before she gets back.

The theme for tonight’s meal: If it ain't fried it ain't food. On the menu Fatback, Fried Pork Chops, Fried Okra (See green veggies Ma!) and Fried Squash. Maybe a Spam sammich for snack.

Breakfast tomorrow: Country Sausage & Bacon from the local butcher, fried eggs and hash browns.

Tomorrow's trip to the butcher will determine tomorrow's lunch, dinner and snack.

What the heck is fatback? Do people really eat okra? I don't think I even know what okra looks like.

Fatback is kinda like bacon, but not really. It's skin with fat attached and a streak of thin meat. I'm pretty sure this is a southern delicacy.

Okra is a green carrot shaped veggie, but it's nothing like a carrot.
Hard to describe it, it's often used in jumbo's. I'm not sure if it's mainly a southern dish or not.

I've had fatback before, I wasn't too impressed. I love okra, especially fried okra. As for the spam... blech!
