New Albany has seen many restaurants come and go over the years and there is only one left standing from days gone by – Latham’s Hamburger Inn. If you are ever in New Albany during lunch take time to visit this lil burger joint on Main Street. When you walk through the door you’ll be welcomed by a long counter with old bar stools, a potato chip rack hanging on the wall above an old chest cooler full of cold cokes (soft drinks for yall that ain’t from around here.) The wall behind the counter is covered with plaques of sayings and proverbs to ponder on while awaiting the burger the place is famous for.
Stop by and see who we are.

Ginna!!! Oh my gosh! Hi! I had no idea you guys were blogging at the Daily Journal.
Remember me … ye olde intern circa 1998? I’m so happy to have found you online (thanks to Carlie’s post on Poynter). I’m dying to subscribe to this feed but can’t find a way. Looks like that option’s not on the DJ blogs. I’ll keep an eye on them to see if that changes.
My dad and I are publishing a magazine from Colorado now, http://www.MyFamilyDoctorMag.com . You taught me good … er, well.
I hope everything’s going great back home. So glad to have found this wonderful link to MS.
Very best,

Approximately 18 months ago, I bookmarked one of your articles on a bottled cheese appetizer flavoring/mix which you found at a local store in Tupelo. The article contained website information to order the product online.
Now that I want to purchase the product for upcoming tailgate parties, the bookmarked article is no longer available online. Would you be so kind as to publish the name of the product and its website? Thanks.

Arlene, the product is called Captain Rodney’s Boucan Glaze. It can be purchased on several Web sites (just google Captain Rodney’s Boucan Glaze) but a few are bellbuckle.com, gourmetgalleys.com and theeverydaygourmet.com. It’s also now available at several specialty shops in Northeast Mississippi, if you live around here.

Ginna – I was shopping at A Cook’s Place in Tupelo the other day and Jody was telling me that the Boucan Glaze was one of her best sellers. I had never heard of it before, but she says it’s yummy.
Anyway, she sells it, too.

Ginna,
Love the mini taco salad recipe in today’s paper. I think instead of using packaged taco seasoning, I would mix up enough of the spices for 3-4 batches of this stuff and store it in an airtight container.
I’m just guessing, but I bet that your recipe has less sodium than packaged taco seasoning–besides the salt, I think packaged taco seasoning has MSG in it…and for people who are on a low sodium diet (or like me, just don’t like a lot of salt) mixing your own lets you control how much salt you use.
I’m going to make these tomorrow night!

Hi Catherine,
Good to hear from you again. You are exactly right. The spice mixture used in the mini tacos has very little sodium and so is much healthier. And mixing them together was really no trouble, so I’ll probably stick with the original recipe. I did, by the way, add a couple of teaspoons of sugar to the mixture … thought it needed a little umph. My son, Patrick, is still talking about those tacos. He thinks we should have them every Sunday night, when non-meat eating daughter is at church! LOL.
