[Sca-cooks] Soul food

[Stephanie Ross]

<<I have to admit this Yankee has a secret passion for country fried 
steak with milk gravy and mashed, and made sausage gravy with a close 
variant on version #1 yesterday...

Oooh, I KNEW there was a reason I loved you!! Not only do you have a sense
of humor, but you have taste too! I don't eat beef anymore, but I always
loved country fried/cube steak with mashed. Stick to the ribs food!!
Another Southern dish I learned how to make is blackeyed peas and collard
greens with cornbread taught by my best friend (from Jacksonville Florida,
which we actually call southern Georgia) 
a few years back. If you've never tried it, you absolutely must sometime.
They have to call it soul food because it's one of those dishes that is
comforting for your soul as well as your belly.

PS I made biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast this morning using
method #1 myself. I add sage, thyme, marjoram, onion and garlic powder and
black pepper to give it more flavor. I used to make a vegetarian version in
which you could hardly tell it had no meat, esp. if I used the Morningstar
Farms pseudo sausage patties.
