Saxapahaw OktoberFest + music on shuffle + Foodimentary

I was channel surfing this morning and stumbled across Every Which Way But Loose on REELZ channel.  Yeah, yeah, I know it’s beautiful outside. I can see out my window … but I woke up with a scratchy throat and am still in my pj’s working on my second coffee.  Now, before you bash me for indulging in a little Clint Eastwood and Clyde, the orangutan, listen up … it was NOT about the movie.  Back in a former life working for Elektra/Asylum Records, I was on the road with Eddie Rabbitt who wrote the theme song.  Nostalgia got the better of me and I began to pull vinyl out of my closet remembering the dark-eyed, handsome Irish man with a wicked sense of humor who was a little country and a lot rockabilly.  I miss you, old friend!

Well, I already know where I’ll be next weekend.  I’m sure y’all have caught on to my love affair with Saxapahaw by now. I do tend to go on about a passion, don’t I?  And what would be wrong with that?

Dear last night’s dinner guests,
Thank you for being my test subjects for a new cornbread recipe.  Really loved having you all on my back porch! 
Love, the cook
 
ps.   Shucks y’all … one of my followers sent me this YouTube clip earlier this week in case I’m looking for a new way to shuck corn.  It cracked me up.
