Tennessee Backroads

My first real full-day wandering since October.

If you didn’t grow up on country roads you may not get the connection, the intrigue, the charm, and the suspense!

About 15 years ago I discovered an old building that turned out to house the best bar-B-cue ever, it became a preferred destination for the delicious fare.

Then…..I made the trek one afternoon only to find a burned-out heap of history.
Time passed and it became a memory….until now…yesterday I decided to make the drive on my way to another local town with history, more about that in another post.

Rounding the curve was a beautiful site and aroma!

Built back beautifully, not the landmark it was, but a great replacement…same family, same recipes, same fabulous atmosphere…same taste!
A bonus this trip, across the road sits a new and most delicious bakery!

Sourdough bread, clean-non-GMO items for gifting, delightful hand-carved wooden bowls, and other kitchen goodies.

I am delighted to have a favorite back on the map!

UPDATE ON TODAY’S BLOG POST~

Fig and Peach Jam for the holidays and maybe a Santa gift in a stocking!

While I was catching up on chores I slow-cooked a beef brisket/new potatoes/carrots/onions
An arrowroot gravy—- and for the leftover brisket after a couple of days…a tangy/sweet fig sauce/drizzle and warm under the broil setting for a few minutes and serve on a French bread/roll.

My day is done—-Joe Biden is still the worst president in all of history~
God is still in charge—it ain’t over!!

When one plays on Wednesday, one doubles up on chores come Thursday!

I am allowing for a lunch break…Frozen Yogurt with chopped figs and Jalapeno and Lime syrup!!
(take a lesson Nancy-yogurt doesn’t make you fat!)

I did start my day with an excellent Italian breakfast.
Fresh eggs, chopped Roma tomato, pepper and onion, fresh ground oregano, sea salt, peppercorns, and a pinch of cayenne and basil.
I sprinkled with fresh grated Parmesan, just a sprinkle!

An Omelette or Frittata to envy! (roughly translates to “fried!” in Italian)

For all my Italian and Italian-loving friends. Gloria D’Eliso Mount!

I have about 3 hours of work left…see ya!
