My hope of going to the OBX for New Years didn't work out, so no surf fishing or ocean fishing for me :( Instead, I'm going to cateer my friends New Years Eve Party. (which will be equally as fun, because I get to ATTEND the party too!) Woohoo!

Mother of the other "red-head" in your neck of the woods!
Dear Mom of the "other red-head",
I wish I were there too, so I could enjoy all the wild game - and meet the cute hunter who I assume is providing most of it!
Mmm, mmm - kudzu Jelly sauce! Not too sure about the possum or Coon - but will rely on your word they're good!
Hope your Christmas was great and filled with "Grace". Can't wait to hear about it ... you'll need "support" on Wednesday, right?
The spread looks great! I love your shrimp picayune and that will definitely be a big hit. The curried mushroom turnovers sound interesting. Is it a recipe you made up?
Talk Soon,
Lost in the suburbs near your woods
Love that real Southern menu - I'm drooling right now !!! Bet the buttermilk does wonderful things to fishy tasting alligator ??? Talla Paulla
