This post is dedicated to some decidedly Southern foodie bits I have been enjoying lately.
For instance, okra chips. We buy these at Fresh Market and they are wonderful. Lightly fried whole okra pods. Ma and pa brought some home with them.
Something called a “grits bowl” that I got in Durham, N.C. You can add all sorts of toppings. I had a fried egg, bacon, salsa and avocado. The grits already had cheese in them. Delicious for breakfast.
Shrimp and grits. They should be made with lots of bacon or other pork products. With Atlantic shrimp. Fabulous.

North Carolina's finest
Pumpkins and mums. These were all on sale at the farmers’ market and I just couldn’t help myself.

Enjoy your week, friends! xoxo
