Southern Man Can Cook

The womenfolk wil probably shudder to read this but for Southern Man there's nothing quite as relaxing as an evening spent in the kitchen. Southern Man tends to have cooking marathons and then freeze enough for his lunches and dinners for the next week. Tonight it was

• Potato Soup (specifically requested by teenage son tonight)


• Bean Soup (he didn't put a beer in it this time, though)


• Banana-Nut Bread (with dad's home-grown pecans, of course)


• Chocolate Chip Cookies (from frozen dough purchased from teen daughter through a fundraiser)


• Brownies (with an extra handful of dark-chocolate chips and pecans thrown in for good measure)

So Casa Southern Man is filled with the aroma of wonderful food. And teenage son has a fire crackling in the fireplace and the BCS selection show on the tube. It really does feel like home tonight. Lord, again I thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us. I pray that we'd never forget your providence, nor fail to seek Your guidance and Your will in our lives. Amen.
