Last night our family went to Natchez, MS for dinner to celebrate my parent's 48th wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant called the "Cock of the Walk" on the banks overlooking the Mississippi River. The staple for this place is cornbread, mustard greens, coleslaw (the best!) and fried catfish. My parents were happy for a night out as we laughed and had a blast with our "country family".
The "Cock of the Walk" story is about the old riverboat deckhands that would stop in Natchez for supplies and "recreational activities". The roughest toughest hand would wear a huge rooster tail in his hat until some other guy unseated him from his throne. Jim Bowie was famous here at this river stop with his huge Bowie knife. Natchez is home to one great sports store called... you guessed it, Bowie Outfitters.
Anyway we left with full bellies and my dad was happy to take home some leftover greens and a sweet potato for his lunch after church today. This is so awesome to spend quality time with the family during the holidays. Thanks for reading the blog…
