We got snow today … err yesterday early and it made the commute to work absolute $hit but got warm enough by the ride home the roads were fine. And you have now obligated me to either cook the last of my venison steaks or make some deer meat chili this weekend.
Best chili on the planet. Venison is far and away my favorite red meat, and I substitute it for beef whenever possible.

Totally agree. Thankfully I have a running list of hunter friends that will acquire it for me as I don’t hunt myself. I’d also never eat chicken if I could get a steady supply of duck.

I am now covid free. The local health office surprised me by keeping in regular touch, sending a hamper of free groceries and a card that could be exchanged in any supermarket locally for another week's supply. I'm usually sour against the current administration but they did their job so I just might revise that opinion.

It was mild as hell for me, but still free food is free food!

Have any of the Americans on here (particularly those living in the south) heard of an old fashioned slang term "hooked Adams"? It's used as in, "we really hooked Adams", which seems to mean when two people who've not met before get on really well.
I've been watching a number of 90s interviews with author and Civil War historian Shelby Foote, and I've heard him use the expression a few times now. Foote was born in Greenville, Mississippi in the early 20th century, which is why I assume it's an old southern phrase. A Google search has brought up nothing though.

I was born in Louisiana to Mississippi parents, grew up in Alabama, went to college in Mississippi and have lived in Tennessee since 1985. I am almost 59 years old and I have never heard this phrase in my life. I'm quite familiar with Shelby Foote, but I've never really noticed his use of this phrase-- probably just didn't notice it. Greenville is a Mississippi delta town, so it could be a localized colloquialism.
My wife is from Mississippi and she's never heard it. I haven't either, though I'm a "darn Yankee".
Uh-huh... I don't know what they put in the water in Mississippi, but they have a knack for raising the prettiest women in the entire Deep South.... just check the list of Miss America winners-- Mississippi has more than any other southeastern state.

Ain't that the truth brother! Helluva cook too...I didn't know what a "grit" was until we met, but darned if I haven't been hooked on them (and Southern good eats in general) for decades now. Coming into her family was like something out of "My Cousin Vinnie", but we all get along really well actually!

And remember-- no self-respecting southerner would eat "instant" grits!

Oh yeah, I got an earful on that from my wife when we started dating back in the day! For awhile now we've been favoring Palmetto Farms stone ground white grits (can order online, we're in Ohio these days and the local grocery stores don't usually have a good selection, mostly the "instant" stuff).

I was born in Mobile, Alabama, moved to Metairie, Louisianna when I was a toddler, and then moved back to Mobile when I was 8 and have resided here ever since.
Can't say that I've ever heard the term, but then again, I hadn't heard of "cornpone" or ever knew what it was until recently either Ain't that the truth brother! Helluva cook too...I didn't know what a "grit" was until we met, but darned if I haven't been hooked on them (and Southern good eats in general) for decades now.

Gonna be honest here, I'm a southerner and have never liked the taste of grits at all. I heard some girl at work claim that they taste better if you clean the grits with water before you cook them, but IDK

it's been a real shit weekend and not really in the mood to talk about it (at least not at the moment).
but spent weekend in ICU with spouse - he's still there, but slowly improving - and that's why haven't been around much.
