Home Cooked Meal??

Living here on my own right by the beach I find myself eating many cans of tuna and eggs. Nothing to special. Every now and then on a Sunday we'll cook some pasta but thats about it. I got invited to a friends house for a home cooked meal. All I heard was the word steak and shrimp and I said "I"m in."

So I went on over to her house and all I could think about was that juicy salty steak. For an appetizer she brought out some grits. Oh boy do I hate grits. I sucked it up and pretended they were good but once she left the table I spooned it into the nearby garbage. Next she brought out some fried shrimp. This was very good but was a little greasy. Coming from an Italian family I'm not to used to fried foods.

She dumbed something on my plate, I had no idea what it was. I thought it was just a huge chicken nugget. Nope, I was wrong. "It's country fried steak." I have never even heard of this but it was actually very good. I really don't know what it is about the south and frying everything. Maybe it's because its the easy way out or maybe they just like the taste of everything fried.
