Hushpuppies

Here recently I just have not had much inspiration

for cooking and planning menus.

This evening was not any different.

I did have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer that I had

bought back when they were on sale.

So, I had my meat.  Now what to put with it. 

???

We have had rice, a regular staple in our house,

 for 2-3 nights straight. 

So that option wasn't appealing, same goes for pasta. 

 

French Fries!  Yes, that is what sounded good to me. 

 

So I finally had a plan...

Shrimp, French fries, coleslaw and hushpuppies.

 

I had gone to the store for a couple things so I thought that I would cheat and buy some frozen hushpuppies.  I just didn't feel like making them from scratch and the box mix was over $3 just for the dry ingredients.  I searched and searched...nothing.  It even took a long time to find the box mix.

 

Come on!  What is wrong with these northerners? 

???

 

I remember back when I was first married and tried to buy some.

I couldn't find them then either.

A friend had told me that

they were more of a Southern thing.

Well, I guess they are.

These people up here need to get with the program.

Don't they know that when you have fish and shrimp you have to have HUSHPUPPIES!!!
