Gators

Ingredients: Grits, Eggs
Today's Breakfast: This one goes out to all my peeps in Louisiana. All of us on the Gulf Coast have had more than our share. In 2004 Hurricane Ivan, along with several others, destroyed Pensacola. One year later, the Mississippi Coast and New Orleans were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Five years later as we finally start to feel hope, B.P. wreaks its havoc on us all. It's like having had Stage 4 cancer, having your leg cut off, in and out of comas and finally getting well enough to leave the hospital. Then, a drunk driver hits you head on on your way home from the hospital.
We know about gators, the danger that lurks in the water seeking its prey. We know about the government only giving lip service while we all die down here. We know about liars like B.P.

So for all ya'll out there, don't give up. Like a famous Southern lady once said, "Tomorrow is another day."
