"Savannah" dinner

[imasunbum]

Sorry, I somewhat answered the question on the thread in which you asked the original question.

I don't know Thomas Mill Creek by name, but that doesn't mean much. I cannot tell you the names of most famous people whom everyone knows. Where is TMC?

Nor can I.

TMC is several sloughs (spell?) south of White Oak Creek. It used to be a park for campers. There is a gas station/bait shop/store there that sells really good hotdogs. Can't really tell you the names of the county roads - just know how to get there. Anyway - beautiful, level with the water, waterfront lot, and lucky to get it last year because prices have gone up as all other waterfront prices have.

I kind of thought that area might be where you bought. I know the area, but like you, have no clue as to road names. "just turn at the gas station where they sell ... and go until the road stops, then take a right on the second road to the left (no road sign), cross the first bridge and.... etc. That whole area south of Eufaula will be growing quite a bit more over the next 10-15 years.

That confused me a little but I should have said it is right next to Doctors Point II.

Sorry for the confusion, I was only giving an example of someone giving directions in that area. I know where Doctors Point II is located.

Ok. Here you go!

ngredients:

Leftover Red Bar/331 mashed potatoes
Dice up 1/4 sweet onion
Dice up 1 fresh jalapeno
Dice up 1/4 fresh sweet pepper
Butter/Olive Oil (your choice)
1 tsp parsley
Bread crumbs (I use Italian)
Shredded cheese (I use cheddar usually)
Milk/Cream

Pan the veggies in a little butter or olive oil.

Combine in a bowl with the potatoes and cheese. If the mixture seems too stiff add a bit of milk. If it is too loose, add a bit of flour.

Shape into patties

Dredge in the bread crumbs

Pan in butter/olive oil over medium heat until golden brown, turning once.

Now we'll have to kill ya! :funn: ENJOY!!!!

Thanks!! It's in my recipe book! You're a peach!

Well, thought I'd "report" on how our Savannah dinner went.

My chicken, sausage and ham pot over rice was tasty...thank goodness. To tell you the type of people these are...Barbara said that meal was STUPENDOUS! Very, very kind people to be sure. We also served a green salad, rolls and butter and of course, Key Lime Pie for dessert (can't get West Key Limes here though, unfortunately).

Funny, funny thing though. Our friends brought back several different kinds of grits from the Savannah area on their return home! I told our story about being on-line here and asking for suggestions for a Savannah-type dinner. Barbara started asking me all about grits. I couldn't really answer one question so I told her I'd ask the experts here.

Does size matter regarding grits? Barb claims she has a few different sizes of grits.

What are "self-levening" grits? She also brought back some self-levening corn meal.

I can't wait to get back down south again to try out some of the wonderful recipes/ideas here for ways to serve grits. They all sound soooo good!

Your enlightenment regarding grits would be appreciated! I'll pass the info on to our friends, although I did give her the addy here, so maybe she'll be a new member soon.

Glad your dinner went well Whitesands - I know where to get my grits, I recognize the box, I know how to cook them but I just don't seem to do a good job of explaining it so I'll leave that to the experts

Thanks imasunbum, you're very sweet!

Does anyone have an answer as to my questions...(one above imasunbum's post)? I'd love to share any information you have with my friend.
