Here's another mistake: not timing things correctly. As in, if the recipe says it will take 10 minutes to prepare, allow 20. I run into this problem all the time. When I try to cook its always takes way longer to prepare and cook then expected.
You also forgot that when fish is cooked properly, it should be flaky. We tend to run into the problem of not cooking the fish long enough and having sushi!!
Oh, and I'm sure someone will flame me for this - but Texas isn't southern. Its south western. There's a big difference. Florida isn't southern either. The South stops at Georgia. ^_^
And omg - i LOVE boiled peanuts. Classic friday night football game food.
So I'm from georgia and while I don't eat several of the foods on that list (because I'm a VERY picky eater) I do eat and love most of them!! I have to say it is a very foreign idea to use beef for barbecue. Sometimes you can have barbecue chicken (but you always specify thats its chicken) otherwise its always pork. And some foods I've never thought about being southern staples - like cornbread and catfish. I figured everybody ate those.
Oh and you forgot one of the biggest staples ever - sweet tea!! Good luck finding that up north.
#9 is the reason why I rarely wash my hands. :)
i used to suffer from a combination of bulimia and anorexia when I was younger. I felt my life was out of control and food was the only thing I could control. Plus....I was suffering from depression. But I'm better now. Sometimes I still get bulimic urges but so far I havent succumbed...purging gave me a chronic sore throat and I never want that again.
I'm glad Howard Dully was on this list. You forgot to mention that he also wrote a book about his childhood and lobotomy experience.
Why do people come on here complaining about this "apple fanboy crap" when it is clearly stated in the title that this is a pro-apple essay? I don't understand it. If you don't like what he's saying, then don't read his article.
Don't forget the supposedly chinese artifacts found off the coast of California that some believe proved the chinese "discovered" america before columbus did!!
I think I can grip and pick up things pretty well with my feet. I wouldn't call that muscle completely useless.
I would just like to point out that for #8, it all depends on who you talk to as to whether or not there is "substantial" evidence for Christ's existence. I have heard, from many places, that there is in fact not enough evidence to substantiate his existence. Its just a matter of opinion.
