Hi Kay, best wishes here also for a speedy recovery. Just as I read your post, DH was telling me he wants to smoke some cheese. Explanation in this weeks game.

On first name bases with them eh? LOL, yeah first name basis. They are very proud of their books and I think they do a good job of representing each state's unique food culture.

I've always wondered if the Kohl's you go to is the one in Newnan. We have one in Opelika, but the Newnan one is bigger, and I do go there when I have the time! One of the Kohl's in Birmingham used to be a KMart, so it's huge! The one in Opelika is...

We have tickets to Paula Deen's show on Saturday as well as access to the beer, wine and spirit tasting and there are a ton of exhibitors listed so yea...I'm kinda excited Fear not, I'll...
