As a Yankee transplanted to the Old South, my tastes have been slowly educated to the finer and hotter things in life. With 40 years in the Fire-Rescue service, I have had some incredable "on duty" meals, on both ends of the scale! In self defence, even as Chief, I often do the cooking. One thing can be taken as gospel, no matter how much complaining, there are never any leftovers.
