Who in tarnation be calling me so dadgum early, huh?? After muttering a couple expletives, I pick up dat phone ... and it be mah farmer frien, the veggie man, callin' to let me know he just picked a buncha fresh produce. So ... he say: "Chef, you git yer badself out here lickety split and I'll give you the special redneck discount." I dunno how he knowed I was a redneck ... mebbe it was my white socks & all dem empty Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans in the back of my truck? Anywhoo ...
