Hush Puppies

Here I go talking about food again. Hush Puppies are a classic southern side dish. They are absolutely amazing. It's basically a fried dough ball. It's much more flavorful than fried dough because it's made with corn meal and other spices. Hush Puppies are what made today's first year teacher orientation bearable. Well, not really. Today was my first day of three teacher orientations. It lasted all day long and it was basically a bunch of people telling us their names and welcoming us to the district, because I'm going to remember those names and go to them for help. Ugh, I would have much rather spent the day in my classroom preparing it since I won't have time next week!
