Fried green tomatoes, squash with onions, pinto beans and cornbread 😋

Just some cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper and a bit of hot Crisco 😋

BLT, hash browns and Waffle House… I think that’s a Southern trifecta 🥓 🥬 🍅 😋

Meatloaf, fried okra and northern beans 😋

Just a light coating of flour and cornmeal fried in a very little bit of Crisco 😋

Lunch today was chicken livers, onion rings and fries 😋

I have this Deluxe Tinker that I never carry, I converted to a Mechanic. I really want a Compact that has the combo tool on it. Would anyone be interested in some kind of trade. Mods, I hope this post is acceptable. I didn’t see any rules against this type of post.

🥓 😋

I got this for $3 at a yard sale. I’m assuming from the marking that it’s gold filled? Can I recoup my $3?

Country fried steak with gravy, green beans, fried okra and a dinner roll 😋

The peas and squash were picked from my garden this morning 😋

Today’s lunch was 😋

I love crab claws ❤️ 🦀 😋

I love my CRK Umnumzaam and the other ‘fancy’ pocket knives that I own. Most of them have ‘exotic’ frame materials along with ‘super’ steels for blades. With that said, I also love my Victorinox knives. The one that is almost always in my pocket is my Mechanic that I purchased a couple of decades ago. It’s never let me down and there’s no telling how many things I’ve fixed with its pliers and screwdrivers over the years. I thought I needed scissors so many years ago I got a Deluxe Tinker but I never really used the scissors and it just felt like a brick in my pocket so I went back to the Mechanic. I love Victorinox steel. Yes, it’s not a ‘super’ steel but it does the job and I can normally bring it back to a razor edge just by stropping it. Today was time for its monthly touch up. To be honest, I normally carry both a ‘fancy’ knife and my Mechanic. They really complement each other. Does anyone else carry two knives or am I just a weirdo?

Lunch 😋

I got this at DJ’s Diner in Irvington, AL. It was delicious 😋

Grabbed this at a mom and pop shop while traveling. It was quite good!

This was some of the best grilled octopus I’ve ever had 🐙 😋
