Confabulation is a disturbance of memory, defined as the production of fabricated, distorted or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world without the conscious intention to deceive.

If you are apologizing….

The voice inside is telling you the wrong thing.

You are not being your true self.

I started out with the grits. I sautéd some jalapeños and green onions in butter. The grits were cooking and I threw the sautéed onions and jalapeños in and continued cooking. I marinated the halibut in olive oil and lemon and dill and garlic for about 1/2 an hour. I chopped up a little cucumber, scallion, and tomato and put some redwine vinegar and a little olive oil and salt and pepper. 

When the grits were done cooking, I put some parmesan, mixed cheese. I didn’t want the cheese to overtake the grits.

So, I put the grits down first on the plate, the Halibut next and finished with the tomato relish/salad.  It was unbelievable! The grits weren’t too heavy and cut with the tomato, cucumber onion and the halibut was perfectly light and bright.

I planted this about 4 years ago…

This little pup was a gift from many years ago…

Found these pups rolling around in the sun!

Silly ole dogs!

Remember Connor?

Well he got a haircut and now looks like a puppy!

Isn’t he adorable?

Now, Bradley Copper needs a haircut!

A few years ago I took my nieces to Acworth, GA. It’s a cute town about 45 minutes out of Atlanta. 

Love the Coca Cola signs painted on walls!

Meant to be!,  YOU and ME!

First you get the best dry Red Beans, Camellia Brans, they are Famous New Orleans Red Beans. (My old neighbor Catherine is originally from New Orleans and turned me on to these.)

Take one pound and cover in chicken stock and boil for ten minutes. While that is happening, fry up some thick bacon….

This brand is really great! Chop up an onion and one stalk of celery and garlic.

Take the bacon out and some of the drippings, but leave enough to sauté the onions, celery and garlic. The put it all in the beans…

You have to keep adding liquid to the beans because they expand in the process….Then add one bay leaf, some salt and pepper and some cajun seasoning and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

They are so very good but even better the next day. The next day you can add okra and/or andouille sausage and oh, I love to top with green onions, scallions…. It’s all good!

Tomorrow I will give you a tip on how to get rid of the garlic smell on your hands!
