Southern Food

How is it that the South is still populated? If I lived there, I'd eat until I exploded. I seriously could not help but stuff myself with their rich, ambrosial food--smoky, moist pulled pork drowned in sweet, spicy sauce, buttery biscuits that are so light and flaky they seem to float on air, creamy cole slaw, golden fried hush puppies that seem to melt in your mouth, the lightest, moistest, crispiest deep fried catfish I'd ever tasted... Even my free breakfast at the hotel--with the usual assortment of rubbery eggs, rock-hard rolls, and stale prepackaged cereals--was blessed with those levitating biscuits. I guess Southerners are just incapable of serving bad biscuits.

Oh, and Little Dooey, I am in love with you.

Deep fried goodness:


Mississippi State University has an extensive agriculture program, and they make their own ice cream!


And now... puppy pictures!

They are now about 6 weeks old. They are getting bigger:


And are playful:


And are curious:


They already smile, as all huskies do:


Poor mama getting mauled. The pups have little sharp teeth now.


She jumps on top of her house to escape:


Puppies are constantly on the move and are difficult to photograph:


And they are into everything!


"Pick me up!"
