Hey Roo & KYH,
Roo your Dad's Dr. needs to yell at you

making all those goodies knowing your poor Dad will cave in & just have to try a bite

. Precious p-nut butter m-m-m-m love the stuff and those cookies sound delicious!
Yes KYH I live only about a little over 2 hrs from Helen, GA and I will most definently make a point out of finding that Nora Mills store one weekend! I live in a town that manufactures Southeastern Mills products [they pkg for Sysco, etc.] everything from flour, to grits [yummy], to gravy mix, etc.! But I prefer Martha White flour, but basically use whatever is on sale, and it's never Martha White

I was born & raised in Miami FL [Yummy Cuban Cuisine!!!] but our family used to vacation in Helen, Ga and we went to Unicoi State Park and rented a cabin there. Somewhere in the area was a Restaurant that Made the best fried catfish in the world, fried whole, and we would feast on this treat. There were wild plum trees growing along side the road on the way up and we would stop and the entire faily of 7 would eat our fill of wild plums, I thought GA was simply heaven on earth! And lo & behold here I am in my favorite spot in the USA! And I have traveled and lived all over the US [thanks to the US military]. The thing I like about our grand nation is the local varities of different foods! I guess you can say that about any country, but I guess our great nation is so varied due to our melting pot of cultures! Helen being famous for the German influence. I love German bakery products! Well gotta' admit it's really all bakery products

Just doesn't pay to be picky does it?
Thanks For the cool shopping tip KYH!
Be warm my friends, CCCathy
