Blogs And Corn Casserole, Yee Haw

My dear friend and colleague, Dena, http://www.denaharris.com/, says her blog is just her everyday journal. No real theme. Not a HOW-TO blog, or a thoughtful, insightful, MFA-type "writers" blog. (Spare me, please.) Not a rant. It's not a bitch-blog. Nor does Dena flaunt her wealth of knowledge about writing. She writes a funny, humorous, and heart-felt blog about her daily life.

Well. Her ho-hum blog (as she's called it) has become a daily habit for me. I can't start my day without my next installment in The World of Dena. It's like getting hooked on General Hospital. She's quite funny, extremely talented, and her writer's voice is often hysterical. You never know what's coming out of her pretty head next. Coffee and Dena-blog. Kinda like ham and eggs.

My point is ... a blog can be anything you want it to be. It's yours. You decide. That's the beauty of the Internet. So today, in honor of my vegetarian friend, Dena, and my own "homespun" blog, I'm posting my first-ever favorite recipe. Something I've never done before. I love to cook, in fact, I'm from a long line of great cooks. And I mean really, great cooks. Anyway, this one is from my mom. I've not made it for quite a while, but you'll see it's quite "Southern." Truthfully, Paula Deen ain't got nothin' on my mama.

Enjoy!
