You might be a “Southie” if...

A photo of a tree would definitely help. Except not Red cedars. I am fully aware of those evil little things. Also a photo of an iguana so that when I come across one I can accurately identify it.

Not a problem,

This is a common Popple tree.

and this is the common iguana. If they fall out of a tree on top of you, it will hurt.

That just proves you are a Southie. Okra is not God's gift to anyone.


That is something similar to the Tide Pod challenge, right?

Noosa makes a Strawberry Rhubarb yogurt which is heavenly - still got a tart bite.

i wouldn’t knowingly eat poison. Rhubarb is delicious, I haven’t eaten it with salt since childhood

I have never had it with salt. We use to sprinkle sugar on the stalks.

My mother would send us out of the house with a palm full of salt and we'd pluck a stalk of rhubarb and dunk it into the salt, sounds gross now but really liked it as a kid

We dipped it in sugar when I was a kid. I haven't thought about rhubarb in decades. It is probably too far south here to grow it successfully.

My rhubarb patch is in full sun and does well, I didn't realize it wouldn't grow in the southie states.

That's no tree, that's a skyscraper posing as a tree! (Although I must say, skyscrapers are also not a common sight in Nebraska, so there is a chance I could be mistaken) Also, how did I miss that thing hiding in all the corn and wheat fields surrounding my house!?!?! Maybe I should get my eyes checked...

It grows in Nebraska!!!
I am so happy for you that your rhubarb is doing well, as that stuff is just absolutely delicious. Especially in strawberry rhubarb jam, blubarb jam, many other sugary foods, and of course, plain sugar!

I prefer savory over sweets but sweets are good sometimes. Sweet tea IS GROSS

I LOVE sweet tea! Especially McDonald's sweet tea. I know, I know, more proof that I am a tree-less, iguana-less, snow-loving southie!
