The big thing I remember eating in NC was pulled pork sandwiches. Good! I did a lot of business travel down there and the locals always got biscuits and gravy as part of their breakfast.
I added a little more water and just a smidge less oats to my oatmeal today. It came out great. I think I am zeroing in on the perfect bowl of oatmeal!

When we were kids my mother made thick , like turkey stuffing then we made it more msuhy liquid by adding milk which was her intent. The extra water today made it a little runny like it would have been after adding milk back then. Brown sugar (just a little) , cinnimon, walnuts and fresh Blueberries today.
