No i'm in Orleans Parish, but St Bernard (Buhnawd, for you fereigners) is about as white trash as you can get--and I mean that in a good way, of course! Some of my best friends are Chalmations!

I live on the east coast, but I am transplanted from Texas...so I am surely white trash. I lived in a trailer there but we put siding on it so no one would know!

BBdiva - what can you be thinking of? Vidalia onions are used in Vidalia onion sandwiches! Bread, mayo or butter, thinly sliced onions and salt! Now my ex-husband used to put peanut butter on his 'mater sandwiches - but that is another story!!

TitanFan, how about a Vidalia onion casserole? Only four ingredients: Chopped Vidalia onions, cooked rice, grated swiss cheese, and HALF & HALF (and salt & pepper to taste). Yum-yum! Disclaimer: this is NOT a low-fat dish!

What IS this iced tea thing you head on, dead to rights, full-blooded white trashers have? I OWN my 1/2 white trashy side, but iced tea never entered the equation. Maybe my daddy suppressed that along with his Southern Baptist roots. H*ll, he's done more time on his knees raising five Catholic kids than most regular Catholics I know. Maybe he figured tabernacle wine wouldn't mix with iced tea. Probably right, too. He's seen a drunk padre or fifty in his day.

Goddess I drank sweet tea growing up but in my adult years have gone to unsweetened but with plenty of lemon. Everytime I go out to eat I order iced tea cuz you get free refills. :) The waiters and waitresses walk around with pitchers of iced tea (sweet and unsweetened) and top off the glasses of iced tea.

They don't do that everywhere?

Justmary, I'm in Livingston Parish (although born in New Orleans) and we claim to be the "white trash" capital of Louisiana. Sure love those Creole tomatoes from St. Bernard, there's nothing better, must be the salty soil from the marshes.

Ok I cant resist, I have to jump in and belong!! LOL I grew up on sweet tea, grandma made a wonderful fried okra (dipped in corn flour btw) I hate okra, but love Texas fried okra, and for dessert, what else but celery pie??!! (commonly known as Rhubarb pie!!)

And we dont have enough money or fortitude to pull a trailer, we are tent campers, and backpackers here in the good ole midwest middle America!!

and I dont have time to clean my house, just make sure there is no mold I always say!!

You have the best food there, Honey. I love Cajun cooking.

Reader, my grandma made good fried okra, too. She also made mouth watering peach cobbler. I have her peach recipe, but not the dumpling part. Of course, there isn't anything low fat in her recipes..LOL

I LOVE sweet tea. We live in Cincy, and it's way too north for restaurants to serve it, but it's one of the things I look forward to traveling south. I have to use umpty gazillion sugar packets (which I try to cleverly hide under various items on the table so the empty packs won't become the centerpiece blocking my view of companions across the table from me)to get my iced tea as sweet as I like it, and that darn sugar just doesn't dissolve.

I have one more gripe ... most restaurants don't provide long handled spoons for stirring iced tea, so you are left with no alternative, but to use a short teaspoon, trying to grip the very end of it to keep from dipping the tips of your fingers in the tea as you stir, or using your straw to stir. (straws make very inadequate stirring utensils!!) My husband suggested I use my butter knife on one ocassion, however, I gently explained my ladylike proprieties would not allow such an extreme course of action. He did it for me :) I adore that man!

LOL Silksmoke, too cute!! (and I've noticed those blasted sugar packets HAVE diminished in volume!! I (high pictched granny voice coming!) remember the day when they actually held a whole teaspoon, 'course that was when sugar was cheaper, yep those places just want to "guilt" us into using less!! heeheheheee!!

Well ok then I confess I AM FROM CADDO PARISH. And we are NOT cajun. We are however just as trailer trash as the next Parish. And the boats will never change that.

BTW, we visited Boston once in the winter months. Went to a restaurant and ordered "tea", they brough us hot tea, we corrected our order to iced tea and were informed you only drink iced tea in winter. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

Silksmoke.. the secret to sweet iced tea is to dissolve the sugar in the hot tea before you weaken it down with water.... so...

Why don't you order a cup of tea (hot).. a glass of ice water.. and an extra glass.. get the tea in the cup strong.. add/dissolve your sugar (lots of it).. and then mix the strong hot tea with the ice water in the extra glass... tada... sweetened iced tea...

just a thought :)

Deeya, excellent suggestion !! However, I have had experience trying to pour things from one cup (that isn't shaped like a liquid measuring cup with the little dip thingie in it) into another cup and ended up with a puddle to clean up. Perhaps the solution would be to carry a measuring cup in my handbag and asking the server to please fill it with my order of hot tea.

Life can get so COMPLICATED at times

I was thinking of this thread the other day when watching a guy teach the world how to deep-fry twinkies on FoxNews, which show was immediately followed by another where were told tales of getting hit in the head with a flying Dr. Pepper can hurled by the grossly underdressed teenage daughter of the person with whom it connected. Made me laugh.

:O Goddess

When we would misbehave my mother would take off her shoe and hurl it at us. We called it a heat seeking shoe cuz that thing could round corners to hit you. We learned some pretty fancy moves in attempts to escape the sting of the sole but we were no match for Mom's missile.

Ah, well my mom just grabbed one of us and used the belt!!

I had a band director that used to throw his baton to get our attention, till one day it hit someone, was not a pretty sight!
