I love those dishes and soup bowls, they're perfect for the great food. Loved your "blessed his heart". I love food like this, father used to cook sea food as he was from the coast of Ecuador, where you have such delicacies and you didn't need to be rich for your taste buds to savor this kinda sea food in those days, lol..

I enjoyed it again tonight. I had to laugh about the chicken fried steak. It is an acquired taste, and I did acquire the taste during my 8 years in Texas. One dare not eat it too often!<br /><br />I think I am with Cherry Kay -- I'll take some butter and bread and wine. I am not particularly keen n the mussels either.
