Reader Opinion: Leaving Home

July 20, 2012

Dear Southport Times Readers,

When I think of what I had to leave behind at my dear Southport home, more than a decade ago, I think of my favorite place on the planet Earth. Understandable as it may seem easy to y’all, but that’s how I feel about your town, I’m exactly now 2,536.113 miles from my home on the Cape Fear. Often, I’ve been feeling like a GONER! My town, my favorite people, and my favorite restaurant are far, too far away. Although I’ve eaten at a many places, and it’s an amazing world of flavor, I’ve grown fond of living, and experiencing really good places and the best foods, right there in downtown Southport. I drool at the thought of a pig pickin’ NC BBQ, salt air; and blue fin crabs, steamed with seasonings, just right. And, don’t forget about the Kings, they all rule in my town.

Jeez, Thai Peppers is still living large in Southport, thank goodness. I’ve checked on it a cup’la times! Although I’m not a big time Condé Nast Traveler type person, I’ve traveled enough across the USA 4 or 5 times, and far across to the South Seas on boat to fulfill long ago dreams. Still, I believe that Thai Peppers restaurant is the best place for good eats for me!

I made up a recipe tonight to re-experience the unique flavors of Thai Peppers cuisine. Close, but not like living’ in Southport! I want to come back, but can’t. Sweet NC, Thai Peppers is still the very best, in my opinion. It’s especially true if it’s my one and only hometown, and not a Southport in somebody’s, somewhere else’s state.

My fond regards and recollections of y’all, my friends and neighbors,

Richard J. Varga, AKA Mr. HomeWorX
