Mississippi Morsels

Seems we can’t leave an area without commenting on the good eatin’. I guess that makes us true “foodies.” One of our favorite places was Shed’s, a local area BBQ. As you can see [click on picture to enlarge], it truly is pretty much a shed with lots of picnic tables set up outside. They tell us that this restaurant was one of the first to reopen after Katrina and all the workers would come here to eat. Our NOMADS team met at Shed’s right after work one day and really enjoyed it. Another favorite for us was Sassy’s, a restaurant owned and run by four sisters. We learned about Sassy’s from people at our host church, as the sisters are also members there. The food was very good but the desserts they make were AWESOME. Our best meal of all, however, was the one Miss Ophelia’s daughter Reann cooked and brought us for lunch at the worksite. She made fried catfish fillets, cabbage with ham, potato salad and corn muffins. Usually we pack sandwiches for lunch, so this delicious hot-cooked meal was an absolutely fabulous treat. We're going to miss the wonderful hospitality we've found in Mississippi.
