I usually have a few mater samishes before I pick peas. This year looks like I'll have peas and cornbread before the maters are ripe.

I took the wife out the other night for dinner. We stopped at this place, made our order and sat down to eat. Country fried steak, greens and pinto beans with cornbread. I made a round on that plate then took a bite of that piece of bread and good god, I thought I was going to lose it heading to the bathroom. Well I carried it back up to the counter and asked, "do you have any cornbread that not de'sert?" He said it was southern style. Well this southern boy wasn't raised on sugared cornbread, it went into the corn mash.
