“I’m goin’ back to Savannah/Sign my initial down
The men all like me/And the women all want me around.”
“Savannah Mama”
--Blind Willie McTell
.
Located in historic downtown Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room remains a landmark in the city. Not far from Flannery O’Connor’s childhood home, this venerable eatery always draws a crowd. Savannah’s architecture makes it apparent why Sherman didn’t burn this city down like he did in Atlanta…and all points in between...
Mrs. Wilkes’ cooking lured Hollywood heavyweights such as Robert Duvall, Gregory Peck and Kate Smith to Savannah, who raved to their thespian friends out west about the southern food. Even when the July temperature hovers around 97 degrees in the shade, one’s anticipation for this indelible cuisine overshadows relentless humidity.
Mrs. Sema Wilkes started her cooking career in 1943. She and her husband bought their home (The Wilkes House) on West Jones Street in 1965, opened their boardinghouse-style restaurant, and never moved again. Everyone sits at a ten-seat table. The food is passed to the person on your right, family-style, and it’s all you can eat for $15. Today’s spread included: rice & gravy, fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, pot roast, barbecue, squash casserole, black eyed peas, okra, rutabagas, macaroni and cheese, lima beans, green beans, cucumber salad, baked beans and banana pudding for dessert.
The place never disappoints, and although it’s a tourist attraction the clientele remains predominately southern. Mrs. Wilkes died in 2002 at 95. Her book, Mrs. Wilkes Boardinghouse Cookbook, contains over 250 recipes and has sold over 300,000 copies.
Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room operates on the main artery of the Old South...

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.
