Creamed Corn

My Mom brought some creamed corn with her from Baxley. I haven't had this dish in a long, long time. It's one of the best dishes in the world. Creamed corn is not made with cream (although my Mom does put in a touch of milk to keep it from being too watery). It's the way you cut the corn off the cob. Instead of cutting the corn right at the cob, you cut it away from the cob and it lets the juice out of the corn (which is creamy). Then, my Mom adds a small bit of butter, a little milk and salt and pepper. So good!!!

2.718 makes it with bacon fat which of course is even better :)

On Facebook

There's a group on Facebook called "Yeah... I'm from Baxley...". The description:

Budlight Presents: "Real American Heroes"
Today we salute you Baxley Residents,
For all those people from the "BIG" town of Baxley that no one has ever hear of and others look at you funny when you tell them that's where you are from. You are blessed my friend to live in the town with only 5 red lights, 6 fast-food establishments, a Wal-Mart and no movie theatre or mall. Because it could be worse you could be from Alma or Hazlehurst! So crack open an ice cold bud light Baxley Residents we know you know everybody's business in town.

Pretty funny if you're from Baxley. When I was growing up, there were only 3 red lights, 2 fast food establishments and no Wal-Mart. They've really come up in the world!

Nabil In... Baxley

I couldn't ask for a better introduction to the nightlife in Baxley. Yes, one of the main things people did in high school was ride up and down the strip (US 1 from Hardee's to Dairy Queen). He doesn't actually show that but he alludes to it. I believe that he ends in a place that's called Traditions. It was one of the first "bars" in town. There may actually be more now. Anyway, have fun watching. And, if you search Youtube, you'll also find:
Nabil In... Alma
Nabil In... Waycross

Supposedly, he also filmed Nabil In... Blackshear but it's not posted.
