I've never had a full meal at a restaurant in the south so never heard of that. Us'n Yankees have such on the side table. And never heard of cheddar cheese on apple pie. How bout mater sandwiches? Or Hog head cheese? If you mean tomato sandwiches, love "em. Head cheese is just plain yuky.
How about gravy on your French fries, apple sauce on fried potatoes and potato pancakes?
Cottage cheese in your scrambled eggs? Left over spaghetti?
Cream style corn on your mashed potatoes?
And give me a Cushman any day.

Boy when it decided to get hot, it got hot!  Heat is taking it's toll on a already winding down garden and to be truthful it isn't hurting my feelings one bit.
Got up early at 5 as usual Monday is trash day, got it at the curb and then fed my animals, fed the grandkids and took them to school. Before I left I put some nice small garden potatoes in the crock pot with the idea of coming home and picking a few green beans to add to them because I figured there was just enough left for a good mess for supper because the vines are slowly withering away in the heat and unless they get some rain they're done, at least that's what I thought! Ended up picking half of a 5 gallon bucket full of them!
So I snapped enough to go with the potatoes and they are cooking right now and smelling good! Going to give the rest to a lady that works with my stepson up on the mountain at the Rockefeller Institute who is a single mother of 3 and loves the veggies I send her family. She help my stepson get a good job there while he is in college. I also picked 5 ears of corn that finished that row and sometime next week I'll finish picking the corn, two rows left about 80 ears in all. Will freeze it and have plenty until next year.
I picked okra again and will freeze more of it tomorrow plus give some away. By 10 it was so hot I had to come in so this evening right before dark the grandkids and I will be picking purple hull and brown crowder peas. I'm going to put them in my dehydrators and then store them in containers for use later, they will be just like the dried peas and beans you buy in the store, still have canned and frozen peas of the past so I'm going to dry these, next year I won't plant any at all just like I'll skip green beans too.
Still getting eggplant, lots of peppers and yes a few damn tomatoes! Only eating them fresh, have dried lot's of peppers and ground them to powder for future seasonings. I'm going to make some pickled jalapeno peppers and some hot cayenne peppers too.
Still getting watermelons, canteloupe and pumpkins are coming off too, I raise the little pie pumpkins for making fresh pumpkin pie. Got the last spaghetti squash this morning.
When the peas are done I'll have butterbeans coming right behind them going to can them. Sweet potatoes along with peanuts are not harvested until right before the first frost and they are looking good. Popcorn will be ready to harvest in about two weeks along with my apples and pears. Some things will make to frost if we get rain, it's in the forecast for the next few days.
I've got more plowing to do for my fall turnip and collard green patch and I'm waiting for the rain to sow them and it's over for this year! Plowing is a daylight to 9 a.m. job right now with this heat.
Tonight's menu, green beans and potatoes, pork chops, corn on the cob, corn bread, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, fried okra, and ice tea topped off with peach cobbler!

Jack sent me some hot peppers out of his garden. I don't know if it was the combination of factors that made his garden go crazy but these puppies are HOT!  Not that I don't like nuclear peppers! He made some killer hot pickles too and I got a jar of them also.  The heat has kind of broke around here, it is 88 right now. That's hot I here you say? Try 98 at this time last week, that's what it is in Little Rock Arkansas right now. Whew! Rich

tonight's menu sound great but don't know about fried okra. I've never had it that way and it's not exactly a staple around these parts so some other time.
