Southern Food Night!

is southern food supposed to be yellow? i'd say 90% of our southern dishes were, in fact, all yellow.

(before i continue, i apologize for being so terrible at timely updates. for some reason i like to reflect on EFNs months after they happen)

in any case: southern food night! but wait, is "southern" an ethnicity? interesting you should ask. i don't care to find out at the moment. instead, "ethnic food night" has been temporarily changed to "themed food night" or "geographically-based food night." and it might change again, bitches.

southern food night! ho'con's and blonde's! (soon to be blonde's, ten's and wheelah's!)

drinks: mint julep comes to mind. arnold palmers with alcohol. other things with whiskey. (please note the "Hard Times" brand whiskey below. how did we get such a classy group of people in one place?)

we started off with some of claire's delicious popovers. i think we decided that they weren't exactly southern, but that didnt make them any less desirable. the popovers were so good, in fact, that i had trouble stuffing myself with other food later = always a problem.

After the popovers, food began rapidly appearing on the table. Now, on to the montage of yellow:

above you'll find ten's/paula deen's bread puddin and green bean casserole. total butter: 10 sticks.

just below the casserole wheelah's/gladys knight's mac and cheese. calories per serving: c'mon it's southern food night. we can't be thinking about that.

at this point in my blog, i believe i have realized the limitations of the blogger tool. i can't put any more pictures in this thing.

verbal recap: lbj's shrimp and grits were the hit of the night. kat and jazz's tales of buying a whole catfish from the asian food market and butchering it their cheap-selves provided us with some stomach-churning humor. ktodd and hocon marveled on the dessert front. fist claimed to help, but in actuality didn't do shit.

ethnic food nights continue to replicate ancient roman feasts - too many libations and a case of the food babies. so, let's do it again! next up? perhaps a return to a more literal ethnic food night? perhaps on to the much-talked about "iron chef night"? perhaps another ethnic food night to go?

until next time!
