I've never been to the Beacon, but some of my earliest, most fondest and delicious-est memories were of my dad driving my brother, sister and I to the Varsity in downtown Atlanta. I LOVE that place.

On a side note. Can I come over to your house for dinner MM? Or just send me some leftovers.
And since we have moved on past just grits n boiled peanuts does anyone else just frikkin love the swamp cabbage?

That might can be arranged, shalafi, but your on your own if you do. You know that scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas when the Peanuts gang gathers around the little Christmas tree to decorate it and their little arms are flying everywhere? That's what my kitchen looks like at dinnertime.
And those Brazilian collards you described sound good. Yum!
Gawd, I'm not sure what swamp cabbage is.
I do like cooked cabbage, though, with lots and lots of butter.

Of course not. You must stir the sugar into the hot tea right after taking the tea bags out. It baffles me how people spend their lives determined to sweeten cold tea. You'd think they'd learn.

I'd really like to make some soon, as I have totally quit drinking anything with HFCS, but I still have a sweet tooth
Oh, and I saw the Beacon on Food Network a while ago. Looked just like my kind of joint. Mmmm. |
Luzianne. It truly is the best.
