My mom sent me a slightly belated birthday gift that arrived at my office this afternoon. Most of it was food related, a bounty of southern treats that I can't get in this area. First was a jar of Duke's Mayonnaise which seems to have become the
gift stand-by for my loved ones. I guess maybe I made a
big deal about it here on the blog or something? But she also included two jars of Chow Chow, one hot and one sweet, some peach licorice, some cornmeal, gravy mix, Peeps, and that Southern
standard combo a Moon Pie and an RC Cola. Most mysteriously was a block of vacuum packed cured meat. The label pronounces it "Side Meat" but it looks like an uncut block of bacon. I'll have to come up with a tasty use for that soon. Thanks, Mom! I'll be eating well for a few days at least!!
