Vacation, Day 9, 10/29/2009, Part 4

There in the distance stands First United Methodist Church of Talladega, Alabama. To its right stands the Piggly Wiggly grocery store sign. Piggly Wiggly, that's our goal.

There goes Milton into the Piggly Wiggly.

My goal, to find some more Steen's. I looked here, among the Diamond Joe Syrup, Plow Boy Syrup, Oh Boy Syrup, and the Alaga Syrup, ...

DSC_0372
... and among Blackburn's New Crop Brand Syrup and Biscuit Lasses, ...

DSC_0373
... and finally among the Blackburn Made and Blackburn's Fairy Queen Syrup. I have to admit that Mama and I do like Blackburn Made a whole lot--it's her favorite and my second favorite--but I didn't want to buy a glass jar of syrup to take home on an airplane.

Vacation, Day 9, 10/29/2009, Part 1

Sun's rising at Talladega Superspeedway, Thursday morning. You can see how many more rigs are in the campground, and there in the distance between the trees, you can see the grandstand at the racetrack.

Early morning look at another U-shaped spread at the campground. Halloween, college football rivalry, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr.--looking from right to left.

Part of a game of some sort at a corner camp site. Looks like they're all set to play, even after dark with that light on the top of the pole.

DSC_0185
The other end of the game.

The game set-up, in front of a trailer decorated with three racetrack flags--Talladega, Bristol, Lowe's, and one driver flag--Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

This is the rig just to the other side of Kay and Milton's trailer. I count at least 17 chairs, for a smaller trailer and a pop-up trailer. Wild! Wonder if the ghosts glow in the dark?

Our omelet makers at work.

DSC_0205
Sausage and ham on the griddle--one side's done.

DSC_0195
Another helper deals with the bacon and the bacon presses on the other griddle.

Green peppers need quite a bit of preparation--those seeds are the pits!

DSC_0201
You can have ham in your omelet.

DSC_0202
Gotta get those eggs just right before they go into the skillet!

DSC_0207p
The bacon's done!

DSC_0210
Cheese on the eggs in the skillet.

DSC_0215
Ham, green pepper and onion, cooking in the other skillet.

DSC_0222
Ah, the important combining-all-ingredients step.

DSC_0227
Close to done, thanks to Milton and his helpers.

DSC_0235
My plate--I had no cheese or green peppers because neither one agrees with me.

The absolute jewel in the crown of a grand breakfast, Steen’s 100% Pure Cane Syrup! Just looking at the bottle took me back to my childhood, eating biscuits and syrup with my Daddy. Yummy!

You can certainly see what I mean in this photo--perfection!
