A Southern Experience
His mercies are new every morning. :)
So tonight I had yet another Southern experience. As if the driving isn't enough of an experience, tonight I got a taste of Southern cuisine. Yikes. Ever heard of "Cracklin' Cornbread"? Me, either. I had no idea what the man I work for was getting me into...but due to past experiences, I agreed to at least try this foreign dish. The cornbread part was rather normal...however, there is something a little "extra" involved...and I'm still not sure what it is other than it is some part of a pig in the cornbread that gives it the name "cracklin'". Appetizing, huh? Needless to say I gave it my best and after my stomach started churning, politely ignored its presence on my plate.
Ah, the South...as I live with this lovely family 2 days a week and get more into the Southern mind...the more I find my own mind spinning...we come from the same country, but are sooo different. :)

Yes, Sara, I have heard of Cracklin' Cornbread, but I am sure not too interested in trying it, either!
I sure love the South, but like all areas of the world there are um..."differences!!!"
So, the new job is working out to be positive?

I'm very proud of you for trying it...I don't know that I could have been as brave as you! You've come along way from the picky eater I knew :-)
You are going to have to call me sometime soon - I want to hear how things are going w/the new job! Sounds like they're taking care of you (all except the pig skin food).
