Hors D’oeuvres by the Southern Sisters
When my family is around there is never a lack of food. Not only do we have a pretty large dinner most of the time, but we also serve a whole bunch of hors d’oeuvres. For as long as I can remember this has been the way we like to entertain guests and sometimes we […]

After the Oil Spill–Enjoying the Gulf Coast
On April 20th, even before our adventure began, our dreams of a beautiful Gulf Coast and wonderful fresh southern seafood were dashed by news reports about the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig off the Louisiana coast that killed 11 workers and would eventually result in the largest oil spill ever in the U.S. […]
