I'll bet you're wondering what and where in the world is "Calibama"? It's my home-town. Let me 'splain... My family is originally from Alabama, but I was born and raised in California. Oddly enough, my parents are from the same Gulf Coast Alabama city, grew up within 10 miles of each other....but met and married in Sacramento, Ca. How does that happen?! LOL
So when my husband and I were dating, I cooked some collared greens for him one day. He was impressed with my ability to roll them up super tight and cut them with precision (and they tasted good!). Later he became truly awestruck with my pie making abilities. He would often say "No one from California can make a sweet potato pie like that!" I would just laugh and shrug my shoulders. Because I definitely make a mean sweet potato pie, and I am definitely from California. Then one day, he had a stroke of creative genius (he has lots of these...he's awesome!)... He declared: "You're from Calibama! That's it...California and Alabama mixed together"
We laughed so hard, we could hardly stand it. To this day he proudly says: "My wife is from Calibama". So now you know. Just a little fun fact I wanted to share.
Have a blessed day and Happy Cooking,
Chef Lorious
