Friday Shoot-Outs and Food Y'all All!!

It's Friday so time for a little Shootin. Our gang's subject this week is "My Hometown Native Foods and Resturants" chosen by the lovely Loida in China. I could not have asked for a better theme because this week was the Taste Of Newnan in my hometown. That's a couple of the fine fellows from Newnan Utilities grilling up some burgers at the top. Every local resturant, church or caterer gather's and Mainstreet Newnan sells tokens for samples of delicious food. Prince and I walked around Court Square, ran into old friends, made new friends and ate far too much. As always, I had a hard time choosing which photos to post!! I couldn't even post them all or else this would go on into the weekend.

Ready? Let's go......

Let's begin with some Peanut Butter and Jelly wings from the culinary arts school at West Georgia Technical college. Looks like this lady gives them a thumbs up .......


Uncorked, a truly fine wine spot in town with great specials.......


Hot Boiled Peanuts!! It's totally a southern thing. Remember these Patty?......


Pretty, sweet girls having a little shaved ice.........


"Walking Tacos" being prepared by Trinity Life and Worship Center. They asked Prince and I to visit their new church and perhaps we will........


Sweet potato fries bubbling. After cooking they'll be sprinkled with a bit of sugar and cinnamon as a finishing touch. We loved fried food right? That's the just way we roll in the South. Don't get much better than these tasty treats.......


Sand candy....you make your own piece of artwork and then eat it on the go.......


A really sweet couple having a little sample while strolling around Court Square....


An American favorite......cotton candy (pure sugar of course......glad that's someone elses cute kiddo who will later be bouncing off the walls..)


Elk Osso Bucco was featured by Andre's Off The Square. Andre's is always a culinary explosion of taste..........


Delicious pumpkin bread featured by Michelle from "Your Chef To Go". Prince and I tasted this delightful goodie and we were......well......delighted........


Prince sneaking in a little sweetie as he calls it from Broad Street Sweets......


Sprayberry's Barbeque......a tradition in Newnan. Family owned and operated, they've been here all of my life and are quite famous round these parts. We do love our barbeque here in the South........


The chef from the Coweta Club ready to serve up his taste tickling fare.........


Fresh tomato and mozzarella salad with fresh Rosemary from my garden......


Dessert at Cousin Sis's house. We call it chocolate stuff and it makes my hips sooo very happy..........


Strawberry Cobbler........this made me think of Strwaberry Girl who is joining us this week for gang activities and festivities......


10 East Washington's front porch for al fresco dining. Always a unique dining occasion with Chef George while you watch the locals walk about........


Andre's Off The Square Resturant and Martini Bar.....wonderful meals and add a dirty martini and I'm there. Often.......


Bubba the Bear from 92.5, one of Prince's favorite spots on the radio, and some groupie. They play great music on that station and they also had a band there that "forced" Prince and I to cut a little rug on our way out and to Cousin Four's baseball game. "Dancing in the Streets" by Martha Reeves and the Vandella's comes to mind. Cousin Four's team won their game won by the way..........


Now, how cute is this kiddo? Having a french fry with ketchup while watching his brother play baseball. I'd personally like to thank France for these goodies. (My thighs would NOT like to thank France for these goodies!) Don't get much better than this than does it? Until I have human grand-kiddos I'm just going to spoil everyone elses kids. They're only little once and you will long for them everyday when they are gone. Trust me on that one......


Thanks for participating or visiting "Friday Shoot-Out's" with me in Newnan, Georgia. Please join us for Friday Shoot-Outs...any and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join our gang and throw a few gang signs with us. We want to see your town. The only thing we're waiting for here in my town of beautiful Newnan, Georgia is you........

****The phrase "STEADY ON"....my darling grandmother used to tell me that the song "Onward Christian Soldiers" meant to keep moving on despite any and everything that life throws in you path and to have faith. So, I do.****

Hope everyone has a weekend filled with much love, joy and laughter and......

Steady On
