Well, I’m half way though my 6 month sabbatical and I’ve not been at the computer much, but I have been cooking up some tasty food down here in North Carolina.

Not having to go into an office job during the day allows the family and I to have nice big mid-day dinners and lighter evening meals.

Here’s a sampling of what’s been on the table here:

  • Grillades and Grits
  • Baked Sea Trout (caught by me!)
  • Fried Chicken with Cream Gravy
  • Szechuan Style Eggplant
  • Chicken Gumbo (with fresh okra from Dub’s garden)
  • Butter Beans with Country Ham
  • Bluefish Fishcakes
  • Baked Ham, Fried Apples, Acorn Squash and Cornbread
  • Corn, Okra and Tomatoes
