We had to drive up I 75 to a town near Doug's Place today and on our way back we stopped to eat. They have delicious Southern food that's always perfect. We had slaw, corn, sliced tomatoes, green beans and cornbread. Good ole Southern food. The picture above is Doug's Place. The power didn't go out while we were there and the air conditioning was working.The last time we were at Doug's Place the power went out after we ordered our food. Which meant the air conditioner stopped working. But it was't off long so no harm done. Anyway we didn't have that problem today. What are you having for supper tonight? Hope it's something good.

I'm glad you had some good southern food. Not sure what I had two days ago. Today is spaghetti with spaghetti squash and meat sauce.

@RubyHawk Sounds more like mac and cheese. I used to use spaghetti to make mac and cheese from scratch as well as macaroni noodles. It's good either way. For now, cheese is off the menu.

@just4him I use cheese sauce rather than tomato because I don't need the potassium in tomatoes. I drop in a fair amount of veggies too. I use the spaghetti squash too.. but my better half likes the real thing better.

That sounds good. It's about time for me to cook a pot of spaghetti. It's my better half's favorite food. I leave the meat sauce out but add cheese sauce and a few veggies.

I like southern food, for dinner I have planned chicken fingers with corn fritters and honey mustard.

@RubyHawk Soup is not an option, too hot in summer. We ate cold dishes during all the week.

@LadyDuck It's hot here but I didn't have time to cook so I chopped up veggies and put it all in the crock pot. It was ready when we returned home.

That sounds good. My better half had three appointments today so I made a big pot of soup early this morning so that's what we ate today. I did make toasted cheese sandwiches to go with it and I had a couple slices cake in the frige.

I can't do without my morning coffee. It takes my cup of coffee to get me started on the day.

That looks an interesting eatery. I like the Hereford pulling the plough. That's a bit unusual.

Doug's Place is in the middle of a very small town. It used to be a farming community. He has pictures of people who lived there in earlier times with their old Model Ts and horses. I enjoy looking at his pictures.

@JudyEv I like little out of the way places. Dougs Place looks like something out of the thirties and forties.
