Banded, busted, broke down, BLESSED!

A big howdy from Bayou Banded and Blessedland! Sometimes you need to turn your eyes to heaven, go back to what you know and count your blessings. Most of you know I've been sick lately and some of you know I've also been home alone with my T-babe Cece while her daddy is off driving trucks, Lord knows where. Today, I found myself in horrible pain, both my cars and I are broke down and not a cent for a quick take out tonight for Cece and me. Back to basics! My 2000s child is about to get an induction in how to get it done on nothing in Louisiana, old style: For her: Hot cornbread Juice or milk New Orleans long-grain, fortied rice For mommy: Turkey wings smothered in everything in the kitchen -- Pan sauteed, fresh onions, parsley, chopped garlic and CAYENNE pepper. I'll get a little bit of her carbs and she will get some of my turkey finely chopped and hidden and we will call it dinner on the cheap. I checked, there's protein in everything! It ain't fancy, but ain't starving (or fast food). I'm counting my blessings and holding tight to my little one. I have two doctor's appointments tomorrow and I might need a drain to get rid of all this fluid in my tummy. You praying Bayou folk think about and pray for me and my little Cece tonight. Onward! Frances

Frances I have been to several of those places you mention ! lol I been busted,broke down and Blessed but I have never been banded ! loooool My son loved cornbread and milk when he was a kid he would crumble his cronbread into his milk and eat it with a spoon. looool No wonder they say ppl from Louisiana will eat anything! I say they just don't know what they are missing1 Holley

I love cornbread and milk Yummy. I will pray for you and Cece tonight.

Sending prayers your way Frances dear... special for you and your little darling. As for the cornbread and milk I never really cared for it that way.. I prefer mine baked in an iron skillet and slathered with butter... yummmmmm.. (guess you now know why I needed this surgery...lol) Add a bowl of red beans and rice to that with some sweet vidallia onion sliced over it and I would be in heaven...lol...Sondra

These Praying Bayou Folk are sending lots of prayers your way!!! And I am getting so hungry from reading all these replies..... Take care, Frances...and tell CeCe to enjoy a piece of cornbread for me.
