Just PEACHY!

Fried chicken livers remind me of Georgia.  I grew up in Georgia on fried foods and my weight IS under control, my cholesterol good.  Of course, it could be argued that my relatively good health is because I left Georgia at age 14, ha.  There are lots of healthy, wholesome places to eat in the Peach State; my relatives’ homes just aren’t among them.  I don’t think you’ll have the pleasure of scarfing down fried chicken livers at the opening for this next Georgia-based call, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you…
