First, I want to apologize for not being my regular self. I know my 24/7 is the same as yours and when I say I’ve been too busy, that’s like saying my importance is more important than spending it with you. So, the truth is, and y’all know I cannot lie, I took a trip trip to Mars and it was so so top secret that I was not able to tauk to any one at my friendly home-base earth. Okay, the real truth is that aliens kidnapped me in route and we kinda of hit it off doing si-si-sillys, funny things that only aliens like to do. I am sorry that only schedule posts have run these past few weeks.
Yup, it sounds like I’ve been hitting the bottle again, but the real truth, and I mean really now, is that y’all know I am finishing up on a cookbook and it is consuming all of my time other that when at work, which is most all the time other that my required sleep.
So, since I have had to cooked, rather, recooked recipes for the book, I thought I might share a few photos with you. These are just a few. Each recipe is non published by me although they are some of our most treasured ones around the Mobile area. That’s what the book is about, sort of a journal of cookery as I know it from our area, recipes steeped in history and many passed down through generations of local cooks and restaurants, well, my version of them anyway.
I just thought it would be nice for you to know, meaning the winners from the past few weeks of Game-Day Week Giveaways and the future weeks to come; giving a peek into some of the things you can expect…
Thanks for stopping by…

Hilarious opening paragraph! 🙂 I'm in the same boat, working a lot on my cookbook, so I feel your pain. Thanks for the preview and the killer pics! Fabulous, cher! Cheers!
The photos are really pretty, Drick! When's the new book coming out??
@Marguerite – I cannot wait for yours to come out – put me down for the first copy…@Lana – my goal is to be finished mid January as stated with the giveaway, but the writing and researching our local lore and history is slowing me down…
Life can be a real bugger when the aliens get you. And I thought that was you I saw cruising in the mothership next to the one I was in!
Oh Drick, those pictures are drool-worthy. I didn't make it in time for an entry this week, but am going to give it another shot for the next game day giveaway.You concentrate on what you need to do. I think everyone here understands the needs of real life.
Congrats on the new cookbook. Incredibly exciting.Almost as exciting as hitting the bottle. I mean getting abducted by aliens 😉
Thanks for the photos! Hope the aliens don't snatch you again while you have your head in a book researching.
