>I am feeling really thankful this year for sooo many reasons-being back in the South, living in the most beautiful city in America and being amongst lots of old friends and having the chance to make so many new ones. I’m not making it home to Mississippi to visit my family this year so I’m house and dog and kitty sitting for an old friend (and former roommate and PF supporter!), Ruby Verbena.
And oooh how I’m thankful for Ruby Verbena (ok, her real name is Danielle). I arrived at her double shot gun house that she shares with a husband and 4 critters, walked into the kitchen and first found this:
3 things I am grateful for: ZAPPS Potato Chips in my 2 favorite flavors, Cajun Dill and Spicy Creole Tomato spiked with Tabasco and a can of Ro*Tel. I’ve already eaten one bag of chips and I’ll take that can of Ro*Tel and add it to a hunk of Velveeta and make a Tackett Family traditional holiday meal. Some call it queso, others just cheese dip, but real Southerners just refer to the whole cheesy concoction as “rotel dip” or simply “rotel”.
So I checked the fridge for the other vital ingredient and found this!
4 more things I am so thankful for! Wickles, Gundelsheim Barrel Pickles and 2 varieties of Van Holten’s Pickles which always remind me of Xmas and the holidays.
I may not be home for Thanksgiving but I sure do feel At Home.
Thanks Danielle!
