That's When the Fight Started #2 (Page 4): I too use "an hour" not because I'm a fan of the old school but it just rolls off the southern tongue better once spoken. I dunno, go figure...

I too use "an hour" not because I'm a fan of the old school but it just rolls off the southern tongue better once spoken. I dunno, go figure on that one.

That's a start. So far I get the impression you've h**ed everything else I put forth.

Worried has the wherewithal to withstand such a minor correction.

I don't know I've had my run of poor grammar and made some minor mispellings here and there and you tend to agree with me on most things.

Supposely this young whipper snapper is slipping through your auto-correct phalanx? Or maybe your just showing your age? I might v**e the former for the sake of keeping the legos.

**** One best consider refraining from age comments. Imagine you are in time out and the Legos are in visual range; however, play is not allowed due to disrespect to your elder. :mrgreen:

I have much respect for elders it's just that some of you take age a bit too seriously.

You're only as old as you feel. How about them apples? :-P

You are a southern born and bred young man. One must be especially careful with southern born and bred female elders. I have a lovely green switch.

the h is silent so it starts with an o

You are correct. When you say it aloud, it is more logical and melodic to say "an hour" than "a hour" - with the silent H, it DOES start (verbally) with the O - therefore it must be "an hour".

And this strapping young southern lad can surely outrun said female elder with green switch. :mrgreen:

Outrunning him is not an issue: All she has to do is cook his favorite pie, put it where he can see it and wait for him to come back!

As well as green beans with true salt cured country ham for seasoning, potato salad, fresh tomatoes and fried chicken.

That sounds even better! But, at my house it may not last long enough for him to get any! Pie, I can resist, but green beans and ham, that's another story. But, don't forget the corn bread!

Tied toward biscuits; however, we could have both. I agree on the pie as well as the green beans. They are a particular favorite. I forgot. What meal, such s this one, would be complete without deviled eggs?

We're planning a feast here, aren't we? I wish I liked to cook, but haven't done so since Thanksgiving, about 8 years ago. Living alone, cooking for one is just not that fun for me. And, my boyfriend is a GREAT cook...says he did all the cooking in both his marriages. I say, if that's what he wants to do, I won't argue with him.
But this meal we're planning sure is tempting!

I lean towards biscuits myself although it depends on the combinations.

Biscuits is good with...
Molasses
Homemade preservatives (peach, strawberry and apple)
Fried Porkchop, mashed potatoes and gravy with black eye peas. (Don't ask why it goes good with that kind of meal)

Cornbread is good with...
Collard Greens
Stew beef or any type of stew especially lima bean stew with chunks of ham... (take a nice slab of cornbread and break it up into a bowl and mix it all up...mmm. Very good to have for supper on a cool Fall evening)

I'm hungry now.

You need to add apricot preserves to the list of your preserves.

So many preserves and so little biscuits.

You will find we can sometimes go off the rails.

As a very quick substitute for green beans with ham, you can buy a medium size can of green beans. Fry two or three slices of smoked bacon partially, add the beans and cook at a medium boil for about thirty minutes. Be careful not to let the liquid get too low. Certainly not the same as with ham; however, can squelch the green bean/ham yearning.
