Steve Jent, the exec director of Century Club Charities, announced recently that the Wayne-Sanderson Farms PGA golf tournament will no longer be held this year. So, after having a PGA professional golf tournament in Mississippi for 58 years we will have no sponsor, and therefore no tournament. Last year Century Club Charities, which organizes the tournament, gave $1 million to Blair Batson Children's Hospital, and $700m to several other charities.

Last week Mom and I had arrived at our first night in the capital of Uganda, Entebbee. We woke up the next morning feeling no pain from the flights to get there. We had a need to get our legs moving so we took a walk around the gorgeously landscaped grounds of our lodge. We had a fresh fruit breakfast and found out then and there that Uganda was serious about their coffee. I should have known since Uganda is Africa’s leading exporter of Robusta and Arabica beans. Robusta is native to Uganda’s forests grown at lower altitudes.

Louisiana’s U.S. Senator John Kennedy has written a national best-seller, “How to Test Negative for Stupid And Why Washington Never Will.” The preposterous conceit that drives the book is that everybody, or almost everybody, in the nation’s capital is stupid, with the exception of Senator Kennedy.

Whether you watch the Super Bowl for the football game, the half-time show, the advertisements, or just to join in the fun, the food is my favorite part. I love tailgate food and snack foods. It is a special treat when we get to eat complete junk food for dinner.
Because most of these recipes are complete calorie bombshells, they are not foods we should eat every day. Saving them for special gatherings, like the Super Bowl, make them even more special.
