Welcome my friends to another edition of Travels in the South. This week mom/dad stumbled onto something that was simply amazing – Onion Rings.
Who doesn’t love a good onion ring? Mom/dad were visiting a place a couple of towns over from the Hotel Thompson. They saw homemade onion rings on the menu and decided to give it a whirl. This alone amazed me because here is a little tidbit for you. Dad hates onions. He hates them raw. He hates them in salads. BUT, he loves onion rings. I think that’s a little weird, right? But then again, we are talking about my daddy – snorts and rolls with piggy laughter.
The onion rings finally came to the table and oh my piggy heavens – look at that mountain of goodness! These are huge!! They are fresh cut, hand battered and made to order – thus the ten minute wait to get them upon ordering.
The restaurant serves them with a Cajun dipping sauce (which when mom asked was told it was a ranch sauce with cajun spices). And it does have a little kick. Mom/dad asked for extra dipping sauce. Trust me, they said you needed it because look at how many onion rings you get. And mom said the price you wouldn’t believe – $4.99 for this tower of an appetizer.
But I just have one question. Not that they were good because mom/dad both said they were. My question is why does daddy get to play with his food and I can’t? Go ahead mom. Tell me. I’m waiting.

Oh friends! What a week it has been. With mom recuperating from her car accident, we have all been trying to be nice to her. After one doctors appointment last week, mom was craving some comfort food. Nothing screams southern comfort more than this picture, right? For those that don’t recognize that awesome glory, let me break it down for you.
Those two delightfully brown looking pieces on that plate, that would be boneless fried chicken. You see chicken of any kind is like one of mom’s fall to foods when she is feeling really icky. And personally I think these past couples of weeks qualified for just that.
Mom ordered the chicken with green beans, a side salad and white gravy on the side. What was the gravy for? Of course to dip that wonderful chicken into before eating it. You’ve never done that before? You are so hidden from southern comforts. You must try it.
So you see mom didn’t do too bad but she sure felt better afterwards. ❤
