craving some banana pudding?

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Galax, Virginia is known for the Old Fiddler’s Convention, but believe it or not, there’s another reason to make a side trip off the Blue Ridge Parkway

The February 2007 Southern Living magazine said: “Banana Pudding: Almost every barbeque joint worth its sauce serves some version of this regional favorite, still we located a truly exceptional recipe at Galax Smokehouse ([276] 236-1000) in southwest Virginia. Co-owner Ron Passmore says he uses three ordinary yet nontraditional ingredients to make his creamy pudding.”

And for $2.99 you can’t beat that price!

…but not the Katrina kind, the Pat O’Brien kind. And, while you’re at it, I’d like a Po’boy, some beignets, parades, beads, throws and great friends!

Please.

I’m having a hard time waiting until next week!!!

On the spur of the moment for Laura’s birthday, we traveled to Amsterdam, Netherlands and Bruges, Belgium. Although our plane was diverted to Glasgow Airport delaying our trip and our luggage was missing until Thursday, we had a fabulous time. Look for pictures and a more details coming soon!
