Eat Or We Both Starve.

I want to be on that porch right now. Drinking wine from a solo cup and dreaming about the catfish I’m about to destroy.

August is National Catfish month. Have you been to Catfish Heaven aka. Taylor Grocery? If not you MUST make the trip and pay tribute to the tasty little mudsuckers. I love them.
