RIGHT and WRONG at the SAME TIME



Susan gave me a subscription to GARDEN AND GUN for Christmas - and you would think that those are two things that I would really want very little to do with , but it really is a lovely magazine, full of all sorts of fun articles. Southern places, music , football and FOOD, lots of food.

The FB page is pretty good too, and today they posted this one.

Tartar Sauce

¾ cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s) WTF ?  

magazine that prides itself on being the be all to all things Southern not using DUKES mayo - " Yankees in Georgia, how did they ever get in ?" I commented on the fb and tons of folks agreed with me. But with that one substitution and a little bit of Old Bay, this sounds like it would be just yummy!
