OCdreamr, once again, you’ve proven yourself to be a woman of great taste, refinement, and intelligence. [:)] (Oh, BTW, I forgot to mention that they are actually called "1015"’s. That’s OK, though, you were only 5 days off! [:D])

Mayhaw, I will have to try Ruston, LA peaches. I trust your judgement, and you know enough to compare. (I ain’t givin’ in, though, until I know for myself! [}:)] )

LTE is definitely a "Southern gentleman and roadfood scholar" as Mayhaw stated, but he’s never shared his email with me. He does travel a lot, so maybe he’s on the road.

tiki, I know your part of the country is known for it’s pecans, but I’ll take your challenge and put our south/central Texas pecans up against yours or anyone’s. [8D]

I’ll also put our Hill Country peaches up against those "also-rans" from Georgia!

Bushie,

Don’t forget your 10/10’s are better than Vidalia’s any day!

OCDreamr

Vibration Guy has also been MIA lately. Maybe we should send out search parties. Who owns a hound dog?

Actually Smarty Pants, Liketoeat lives on the western edge of one of the roadfood epicenters of this or any other planet. All up and down the river between Memphis and Vicksburg you can find spectacular dining in a "casual atmosphere". Perhaps he overindulged in too many tamales or a amazing steak from Doe’s or went to Abes and ate til he exploded. maybe he drove to Memphis and ate BBQ until his BBP (blood barbeque percentage) exceeded the legal limit for him to travel. [:D]

Also, he lives in the middle of the greatest duck hunting paradise in the world. Maybe he has been out getting his blind ready to outsmart the canards that come south after it gets too cold to do whatever it is that ducks do up north (incidentally, some ducks don’t leave, they just stay and enjoy the lovely weather and abundant food supply here in the beautiful, sunny South)

Perhaps he is in his yard picking up some of this years bumper crop of pecans.

You should be so lucky[:D]

Then again, maybe he doesn’t like us anymore[:(]

Now now Mayhaw man—you forget,i’m in Oklahoma[:D]I believe we are niether north nor south! and i passed by 3 smoking pits on the way home,here in "Green country" we are smack in the middle of the great central flyway and i’ll match the pecans in the back lot with anyones—–and—-its a short trip to Norlins for oysters,Kansas City for steaks, or any place else for anything else!—but i couldnt let a good opportunity slide by.[:D][}:)]

btw—that dressing recipe looks great!

Come on……..everybody knows what ducks do up here in the nort’!![;)][;)]

Mayhaw and Bushie, thanks for your way too kind comments, and I’ve missed Roadfood and all you good folks, but I was out of town for over a week and then since home have been some more on the go and so busy trying to get caught up that tonight is the first time I’ve been to Roadfood in two weeks. I’ve gotten to point that I hate to go out of town because of all the catch up work which awaits one upon return.
And, tiki, contarary to your confusion concerning the direction to/location of good food, rather than headed north I was headed further south for some great food, enjoying it all but particulary Lasyone’s in Natchitoches, LA, Abe’s Ole Feedhouse (housed in old country store building) in Lawson, AR (a crossroads 10 mi. from ElDorado), and Layne’s Steak House in "The Village" at Star City, AR. Maybe it’s a fortunate coincidence that this trip came right before my annual blood pressure/cholesterol check up in Little Rock.
Oh, Mayhaw, thought of our earlier conversation concerning frog gigging when saw in that great old hardware store on Front Street in Natchitoches some barbed gigs, so guess sticking them is now legal in Louisiana. I always so enjoy Natchitoches and that area. It and New Harmony, IN, are two of my favorite spots in this entire country.
Does appear the pecans are going to be pretty good this year. If they turn out anything like the corn, cotton, rice, and soybeans have, we will have a bumper crop; the best in years; and fortunatley other than a perod in early Oct., we’ve been really blessed with great weather this fall for all the harvests. You are right, Mayhaw, about those little "wild" or "native" pecans being by far the tastiest of all, but real beasts to pick. I’ve got a few of them down at the pasture, but unfortuntely the trees here at the house are Stewarts, probably the sorriest of all pecans.
Well, let me get on to see the remaining "new news" of the past two weeks here, and enjoy Roadfood tonight while can, for appears a variety of demands for the remainder of the year will prevent my "Roadfooding" to the extent I like. Thanks again, Mayhaw and Bushie.

Our Hudson Valley peaches are the greatest. Not only are they juicy and sweet and full of flavor, but they are such a problematic crop in our climate that we delight in those we get in a year with a good crop. Like grapes, peaches need to be stressed. Those softy peaches grown in the heat of the South just never will develop the character of our hardy
varieties.

BTW: I was at a fruit stand near OC MD a few years ago enjoying an early season peach locally grown and was informed by the owner that throughout the season they produce 23 varieties – from June to October.
