Joseph had a lesson in hush puppies when he ate at Capt. Billy's on Sunday after the conference. He asked what they were, and I explained the cornmeal dabs that were fried and thrown to the dogs who were begging in the kitchen. At that point in time, I think he said they were good.
O.K. - Now I remember. They were good!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 04-06-2013
Then I have a genetic problem because my family (all Southerners as you may have guessed) call it stuffing also. We stuff roasting chickens and our holiday turkeys - and we literally stuff it up in those birds and have long-handled stuffing spoons to dig it out with when it's brought to the table. I'm like you, Craig; dressing is something you put on salads (ranch, bleu cheese, Italian, Russian, etc.). Maybe they've changed the rules since I grew up?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2013
Lincoln once told Lamon that he was worried something won't scour. What was Lincoln referring to?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 04-09-2013
Gettysburg address?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2013
Asked and answered in 3 minutes. Kudos, Gene!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-09-2013
Same as Gene's answer: Gettysburg Address. Somehow, I doubt Lincoln actually said.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2013
Good point, Bill. Lamon can be unreliable, and I am assuming the only source for this is the recollection of Lamon.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-09-2013
I think so Roger. I remember hearing Gore Vidal mentioning it as if it had been true, but we both know that Lamon was his source.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-09-2013
John Hay wrote that "hostile journals" described this person as a "shallow, vainglorious, woolly-horse, mule-eating, free-love, "n"-embracing Black Republican; an extravagant, insubordinate, reckless adventurer; a financial spend-thrift and political mountebank." Who were the journals referring too?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 04-09-2013
Charles Sumner?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-09-2013
No, not Sumner-good guess though.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 04-09-2013
Thaddeus Stevens?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-09-2013
Laurie: another really good guess but it wasn't him either.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 04-09-2013
I have to beat her. Seward?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2013
Frémont?
