Alcenias' is a southern food restaurant, which I found via http://www.roadfood.com/. With BBQ now the devil, I opted for some fried catfish with black-eyed peas and Alcernias' corn. The catfish was very, very nice - flaky and moist with a crunchy exterior. The black-eyed peas was the best dish in this meat and vegetable offering. I would have a bite of the catfish, sometimes with hot sauce, maybe shovel in some of the excellent creamed corn, but I always came back to the black-eyed peas - ethereal. Alcenias', a quiant, eccentric, yet personal eatery, knows how to dish every layer of the meal, all the while with unique decor. The custard pie was heaven-sent. An excellent end to my mid-west venture.We did have technical trouble connecting to the Internet and uploading large photo files while in Memphis, but I hope I caught up in time. Thanks to all who followed. Thanks to G-d for swine and hickory. Thanks.

Custard pie, the one thing perhaps BETTER than bread pudding. As you can see, I am very desert-based. :)
Oh. Wait. Scratch that...I forgot sweet potato pie. It is a southern classic that must NEVER be passed up. That would be sacrelige.
I wanted to order the sweet potato pie at Al \cenias', but they only had custard and lemon pie. I should have chosen both. We only have one life to live, so what would someone be waiting for? Order both pies must be the lesson!

True words spoken by a true culinary connoisseur(Indeed, a former AMS word of the week!).
Aww...I just noticed a previous spelling error of mine. Yes, I do enjoy long walks in the sweltering heat and endless hours befriending coyotes and searching for mirages: I am VERY "desert-based". Haha. Just poking a little fun at myself.
