Today we had our second lunch based on the “Meat and Three” menu. You choose one meat (fried chicken, fried catfish, fried gizzards, fried livers, etc.) and three sides (cream potatoes, macaroni and cheese, black eyed peas, squash casserole, etc.). Cornbread is not a side; it just comes with your food. Today we had this lunch at a cafeteria in Montgomery, AL. We also had pecan cobbler and fried green tomatoes. How could we pass these delicious, high-fat specialties up? Calvin was able to get a pancake for lunch today, so the lunch was a success for the entire family.
Calvin is a girl in The South. I don’t think anyone has referred to him as a boy since we left. His long hair and tennis shoes with a little pink on them mean that he can only be a girl. As you probably know, his “goal” is for people to think that he’s a girl so he is amused by this effect of being in The South.
When we were in Selma, our hotel was on the very edge of town. We needed some fruit and veggies and I saw a “Farmer’s Co-op” out the window. This (presumed) farmer's market seemed to me the perfect place to get farm-fresh produce. As we drove in the parking lot, I pointed out that nearly all of the vehicles were pick-up trucks. Maybe this place is a “feed and seed” rather than a farmer’s market? Yes. The woman from Minnesota should have realized this sooner!
