Am I Boring You Yet?

         A view of the Smoky Mountains.. aka Blue Ridge Mountains.. either name fits~
The Biltmore Estate in Ashville, N.C. - a must see - so amazing, but no pictures allowed inside, so this is about all you will see.  
                                   My 3 cowboys, cute, but not quite ready for the rodeo~
Ok, this takes some explaining.. most of you have no idea what boiled peanuts are, but I am telling you - they are great~  There is an fantastic place as you enter the Smoky Mountains in a small town on the N.C. side called, Maggie Valley.  A roadside stand and a man in overalls.  All you need is $3 for a HUGE cup of hot, soggy, salty, nutty boiled peanuts~  trust me~!!!!
Look at my HAPPY FACE~ Micah and I ate the ENTIRE cup!  My stomach is feeling it now~ Here is how you eat them... you break a shell open with your teeth, suck out all the juice and eat the peanuts inside and throw away the shell.  It may be an acquired taste, but you gotta try it at least once in your life.  They are all over the southeast.  But make sure you buy them from a stand off the road, from a man who looks like his name is Billy Bob!
