Vale Tony Joe White October 26, 2018, 06:25:43 pm I’m just raising a glass of bourbon to the memory of Tony Joe White and listening to “Rainy Night in Georgia”.A great musical talent and, by all accounts, a great bloke.RIP

Pork Salad Annie.That's POLK Salad ... polk is basically an edible weed that the poor folks would gather up, cook carefully (it is poisonous) and use like spinach which it tastes similar to (so I am told).
