My family spent the majority of yesterday traveling from Savannah to Ocala, Florida, to spend two days with our cousins. Before we left, however, we ate a buffet lunch at Paula Dean's restaurant, The Lady & Sons. I tried her fried and baked chicken, fish, green beans, butter beans, and collard greens. Except for my Aunt Nell's, the collard greens were the only greens I've ever had that didn't taste bitter to me. My favorites, however, had to be the cream corn, sweet potatoes, and made-from-scratch banana pudding. If you're ever in Savannah and can spare about $15-$20 per person, you really need to visit The Lady & Sons. Just be sure to make your reservations ahead of time.
After we arrived in Ocala, I visited with my cousins, whom I never recall having previously met. They're both extremely nice and very hospitable as well as devout Believers. Having been unusually sensitive to the sun Thursday, I had developed large blisters all over my shoulders by last night. I attended to them, watched an episode of The Golden Girls, and went to bed.
