May
Celebrating
May is a month full of joy and celebrations for everyone. Cinco De Mayo (May 5th) originating in Mexican American communities during the first years of the American Civil War, the holiday that commemorates Mexican American heritage and pride is the anniversary of the Mexicos Victory at the Battle of Puebla. It is not Mexicos Independence Day - contrary to popular belief Mother's Day is the day that we praise our mothers for giving us the gifts of life and love. Children cook their mothers breakfast in bed or at least attempt to, and familys take their Mothers out to dinner. There are many fine restaurants in our dining section that Mom will enjoy. She might also enjoy some candy from The Chocolate Tree or flowers from Bitty’s Florist

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better - Albert Einstein
May is also a time for college and high school graduations. Many a high school senior or college senior march donning cap and gown, earning their Diploma or Degree and prepare to start their lives right around the end of this month, joining what adults like to call the “Real World”. Beginning the new chapter of their lives is very much like the rebirth that we feel in Spring every year. May Day (May 1st,) has been hailed as the day to celebrate the coming of spring. Originally it was timed on May 1st to coincide with the Festival of Flora, celebrating the first floral blooms. This was symbolic of rebirth, renewal, a fresh harvest, and fertility. In ancient times, May 1st was the first day of Summer. Summer was what we now know as Spring. A very ancient holiday, May Day is still celebrated in Europe today and in some places in the United States. Speaking of birth May is a very special month for me because it is the month that I, myself, was born. So as I celebrate the anniversary of my 39th birthday, I wish you many happy celebrations in May, for whatever you celebrate!

Grits and Greens Casserole
Buttermilk Cornbread 1 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs 1-1/4 cups buttermilk 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, more for greasing the pan
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 425° F. Generously butter a 9-inch square pan. Place the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; whisk together. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and butter. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry mixture; stir just until combined. Heat the pan in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes, or until it is hot, making sure the butter does not burn. Add the batter, spreading evenly. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the top is pale golden and the sides begin to pull away from the edges of the pan. If in doubt, use a cake tester inserted in the middle. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack and cool a little longer. Serve warm or room temperature.

DIRECTIONS: Bring LARGE (16 quart pot) of salted water to a boil. Add seasoning, 1 lemon, onions, corn, pototoes and sausage. Let pot return to a oil, then cook about 20 to 25 minutes. Add shrimp and boil about 5 minutes. Serve with cocktail sauce for shrimp and 1 quarter lemon. Serves 4-6.

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray. Place bacon (if using) in a large Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off the bacon fat. Return the pot to mediumlow heat; add oil, onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and starting to brown in spots. Add 1 cup broth and salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Add greens; stir until wilted down to about one-third the volume and bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Add water, 1/4 cup at a time, if the pan seems dry. In a separate sauce pan, bring 2 cups water and the remaining 1 cup broth to a boil Add grits in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking often, until thick, about 5 minutes. Combine 1/2 cup cheese, salsa and egg in a small bowl. Remove the grits from the heat and quickly stir in the cheese mixture until combined. Quickly spread about half the grits in the prepared baking dish. Top with greens, spreading evenly. Spread the remaining grits over the greens. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and the reserved bacon (if using). Bake the casserole until hot and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
