Election night coverage.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will attend the county commission meeting at 6:00. NLT 7:00, I'll leave and head home. Shirley Wise will call me as soon as she has final election results. That will probably happen sometime between 7:30 and 8:00. Y'all will know shortly after I do. I will also give y'all a first-person report on the discussion and vote on the adjustment to the employees' share of the health insurance costs. I note on my poll on the subject that confidence in the majority of the commission doing the right thing is not very strong. We'll see.
Special for the ass "Ace." On election night a year ago, there were nearly 3,000 hits on this blog between 7:30 PM and midnight. I had a reporter at the courthouse giving me minute-by-minute updates until the final results. Try getting that on the radio or T.V.

I have never cared for Aunt B's food-if you like food laden with pork fat-bad cuts of meat etc then I suppose one would love that food-some people want food not laden with a lot of calories nor do they like cheap cuts of meat boiled to tenderness.
No organic milk there I am sure most likely all comes from the cheapest place to shop which would be Sam's
club.
Instead of folks worrying so much about their politicians it would appear from so many that promote Aunt B's many people do not care about their health.
Wake Up Fatazzes!!!
Well, actually, the milk comes right out of the dairy case at our local Walmart, where I get mine. "Boiled meat?" Other than the sausage in the low country boil, has anyone ever had "boiled meat" at Aunt B's? I must have missed that. If they did, though, I'll bet it was delicious! By the way, do we have (or want) a restaurant that serves "organic milk?"
Ooohwee! Aunt B's is not only hitting on all cylinders but on full afterburner today!
Man, the turkey and dressing was delicious. That's about as good as corn bread sage dressing gets! And delicious turkey gravy, oh my! I asked one of the guys bringing out the food how many turkeys it takes to feed the Sunday crowd. He told me that today,they roasted 16, large, whole turkeys. I'm not sure how much they weighed, but at 20 lbs apiece, that could be 320 lbs of turkey! Man, the steam table was literally steaming from one end to the other. Everything that should be hot was hot: everything that should be cold was cold. The butter beans were cooked just right. The black-eyed peas were seasoned with a smoked ham hock and cooked down to where they form their own pea gravy. Man, are they good like that over rice. Try 'em over rice with a dollop of stewed tomatoes on top. Man, that is tasty. The mustard greens were delicious. The peach cobbler had just the right ratio of peaches to crust - and oh, that crust!
That's just what I had. Everything was just so perfect today that I thought maybe the head cook was back from her injury. But no, out popped co-owner Cathy Gentry in her apron. That explained it. Of course, there was fried chicken, baked chicken, barbecued chicken, smoked dinner sausage, Salisbury steak, fried okra, their signature macaroni and cheese, butter beans, white shoe peg corn, black eyed peas, steamed white rice, Kentucky Wonder pole beans, boiled cabbage, stewed crook necked squash, and I'm sure I've missed some. Oh, and first, there's the always fresh salad bar. For instance, the iceberg lettuce, always chopped to a convenient size, is chopped fresh from whole heads right there in the kitchen every morning. None of that wilting bagged lettuce. Killer chicken salad. Then there is the dessert bar. There's always that delicious peach cobbler. Then there's the killer, fresh-baked pound cake as well as several other baked sheet pan desserts. Folks, I'm telling you, if you are not one of the hundreds eating Sunday dinner in their spacious facility, you are not getting the full measure of your enjoyment of the weekend! And no, I don't get free meals or any special discounts. I just appreciate good people putting out exceptionally good, genuine Southern food at a fair price.
11/02: I knew I forgot something: their traditional Southern sweet potato souffle with the marshmallow crust. It's goes great with any of their pork entrees.

Let's see now: the official party line of the anti-progress, anti-growth, airport status quoers is that Sea Island Company has big plans to build a fly-in community surrounding the airport; that Debroah Hase has a a secret, exclusive contract to sell all of the resulting properties; and that Charley Smith will get a $1 million dollar bonus if the airport moves (this last one springing directly from a purely hypothetical "what if / so what" scenario I wrote on this blog!). Those are some rather amazingly generous concessions from a company in such severe financial difficulties that they are selling nearly all of their holdings in Camden County, including the very land that surrounds the proposed airport site, which they have not put up for sale and they are still willing to donate.
