This weekend we took to the roads and ended up in Savannah, Georgia. I firmly believe in a previous life I lived in Savannah because every time I go, I have this incredible yearning to stay. Now keep in mind that if reincarnation is an evolution of your soul and each life is an improvement from the past life, I could not have been a proper woman in a hoop skirt and a hundred pounds of petticoats. I believe I was one of those girls who hung out on River Street and flirted with the crew of those big boats & secretly smoked homemade cigarettes behind their father's backs. The reason I say that is if I had been a proper lady, my penchant for having a drink with my friends and bellowing out a bad word every now and then wouldn't be as prevalent in my life as it is now. I will admit that I am working on my "ugly words."
As an FYI, my husband tried out yet another variation of shrimp & grits and the jury is back with the verdict of NO GOOD! Do not have the shrimp and grits at The Oyster House on River Street in Savannah if you have had GOOD shrimp and grits anywhere else.
We tried the General Oglethorpe's recipe, by the way, and in comparison to Crook's Corner's version, we admit to liking General Oglethorpe's recipe better. I would recommended cutting the Cajun spices just a little bit unless you are someone who really enjoys spicy foods. Give it a try sometime. It takes a little talent in the kitchen. I had 3 pots/pans going at one time. But well worth it just the same. Click on the "Recipes" tab for both the Crook's Corner & General Oglethorpe recipe.
