And Where is Baxley???

I was born in NC but raised in the Deep South - Baxley, GA to be exact. It's ok if you've never heard of the place. You and 99.9% of the rest of the world. It's a pretty boring place but I did learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have learned living in the suburbs or the city - roosters don't just crow in the mornings, ghosts are real, news really does travel faster in small towns, neither movie theaters nor cable tv are necessities in life, fried chicken tastes better when fried in lard.

Dinner Tonight

MTH and I stayed in to watch the Olympics so we decided to cook dinner as well. For some reason I was really craving salmon (even though I had it last night). Even though I've always thought of fish as a hard thing to cook, salmon is actually quite easy. I just cooked it in the oven with olive oil, roast peppers, capers, garlic, salt and pepper. The side dishes were steamed asparagus and capellini with olive oil and garlic. As an appetizer we had a cheese called Drunken Goat with bread. The wine was one I had bought back in the summer on one of my wine tasting trips :) It's a Zinfandel from the Coppola winery (now called Rubicon). Such a great wine. It's bad to drink those wines because then our $6 wines are not nearly as good.
