[...] 5, 2008 by Auntie Kate Okay, so I was wrong. ONE restaurant that I go to DOES have an email list that they use. Usually, they’re nice [...]

I’m with Kim, no sharing of our Auntie Kate! :)

It would definately bring me in the door if I was e-mailed dining specials and coupons. But now I’m hungry….thanks!

First of all, as usual, you are absolutely right. The only emails I get about food are for pizza and I do take advantage of them. Emails are like commercials to me and restaurant emails would make me hungry and would be especially enticing if there was an offer/special of some sort. That being said, the restaurant business will just have to get their own guru. I’m like the possessive little child who doesn’t want to share. Your knowledge would be worth fortunes, but what if you preferred your new career. We’d be so lost!

You ARE kidding, right? You Californians ;-)…

Hush puppies are those little (highly-overrated in my opinion) morsels of cornbread batter fried in the iron skillet after the fish, ham, fatback, whatever is done…or some say, BEFORE to test the temperature of the spider… and tossed to the hounds so they won’t go nosing about their humans’ dinners.

As in “hush puppy, that’s MAH fried squirrel.”

Of course in Californian Fusion Cuisine they’re called “croquettes de maïs” …

Next, you’ll be asking me what part SPIDERS play in all this!

PS Forget the cookbook, bring WINE! (I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.)

So, how did hushpuppies get their name? I love them, and always have catfish and hushpuppies when visiting the south. What’s the scoop???

As for the restaurants, perhaps their marketing just hasn’t caught up with the resale industry. And perhaps, you really do need more to do??? lol.

ps, I’ll bring you a cookbook from the Wine Country, don’t tell anyone.
