Send your gurgling good birthday wishes to the Cod today. It's number 29 again, I understand.In honor of The Birthday Cod, here is a collection of food songs. They are not all the kind requested, true odes to ingredients, and yet, and yet, and yet. How can you scoff at the menu?: jelly rolls, pasta with pesto, english muffins, Captain's Wafers, waffles, crawfish pie, fried neck bones (and some home fries), cherry popsicles, a wish sammich, polk salad, fillet mignon, and some sweet tea--a Grade-A meal, when I'm in the mood.
If you'd like your own copy, let me know.
Meantime, Happy Birthday to You, TGC!

Nice. How did you know I was thinking of doing a similar mix?
Send me a copy and I'll get off my butt and make mine. Maybe I'll manage to do it without overlapping yours--though now that I see you have "Grits Ain't Groceries" my hope is diminished.
