Here Is a good southern soup dish good for Diabetics that should avoid potatoes.

Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup
with Black-eyed Peas
From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 cup of chopped onion
1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup of chopped celery
1/2 pound of andouille or other spicy smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 3 cups)
2 cups of beef stock or broth
1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can of black-eyed peas, undrained
1 cup of tomato juice or V-8
1/4 of a small head of cabbage, sliced (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
5 turns of the pepper grinder
Heat the oil in a soup pot or 4 to 6 quart Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the onion, bell
pepper and celery; saute for about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook another 3 minutes,
then add the sweet potatoes. Add the beef stock, Rotel, black-eyed peas, tomato juice,
cabbage, salt and pepper; stir, bring up to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25
minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
About 6 servings
~Cook’s Notes~
I used Conecuh sausage and Rotel diced tomatoes, making this a fairly spicy soup. If you prefer
a milder version, simply substitute one can of regular diced tomatoes, undrained, in place of the
Rotel and use a milder smoked sausage.

My shop has 3 chairs and is right out of Mayberry. The difference is two of the barbers are women. I pay $20 for a haircut and beard trim including tip. Hell they even put a hot towel on your neck.

Does it always have the same staff? I need to find Mr. Owl one of those barbers. He goes to a local one that has TVs tuned to sports in front of every chair. The quality of haircut seems really dependent on who you get, and if she's watching the TV, apparently. He has lovely thick dark hair and a cowlick, which seems to enrage them. He often comes home with a near-bald spot where his cowlick is. :laugh:

Good morning. Got our new sofa and loveseat yesterday. We got the best price at AAFEES on line. Well the love seat was damaged in shipment, now I have to go thru the hassle of ordering a replacement and waiting for it to arrive. The good thing is it is still useable and I can do a temp fix. Even though we saved a lot of money it wasn't worth it. I paid extra to have the old furniture moved and the new furniture setup, the delivery people said all they were supposed to do was put it in the front room. Needless to say I'm not a happy camper. And I plan on letting AAFEES management know it. At a minimum I will never buy from the BX on line again. Another of my benefits that is next to useless.

That's too bad...keep on them until they make it right....Including the fee for the set up.
It's sad that people just can't seem to take pride in what's done these days....it's like that just about everywhere, I'm afraid....
