Fresh, warm flour or corn tortillas made by hand, velvety refried beans made with lard, cornbread with a shattery-crisp crust made with a tablespoon (not a cup) of sugar and cooked in a cast-iron skillet older than I am, Rotel dip at every social gathering imaginable, biscuits and gravy for a "stick to your ribs" breakfast, amazing breakfast tacos from a gas station, banana pudding, 7-up cake, pecan pie (pronounced correctly), peach cobbler, What kind of coke do you want? I'll have Dr. Pepper, Dewberry shortcake, Nancy's Fried pies, black-eyed peas and greens for luck and money in the new year (and fighting over who gets to drink the pot liquor), fried catfish, frito pie, barbequed brisket served with the sauce on the side and a slice of white bread, macaroni and cheese listed in the vegetable section of the menu next to the fried okra, king ranch chicken, fried dill pickles, lemon chess pie, sweet tea that will make your teeth ache, fruit kolaches from New Braunfels, sausage kolaches from the bakery a block from my alma mater, cornbread dressing to go with the turkey, homemade fried chicken with pan gravy, real chili, gumbo, red beans and rice, Mississippi Mud Cake, and chicken fried steak with cream gravy.
I think I felt my arteries harden a bit just typing all that.
