Southern Soup Craving
I had some tomato soup for lunch today. As I was eating it, I was reminded of how much I loved the tomato basil soup at la Madeleine. Oooh, it is so good. It is thick and creamy and so, so yummy. Just what is needed on a rainy fall day. La Madeleine has 60…

Southern Grits
Okay, so, I know not everybody likes grits. If you don’t like grits, try these recipes and see if you don’t change your mind. If you really hate grits, you may just want to skip this post (which would make me sad!). A friend picked up the 2007 Southern Living Annual Recipes Cookbook at a…

Southern Okra
You know, you’ve got to watch okra. If it gets too big, it is too tough to eat. I had a couple of pods get away from me and they got a little too big. So, what to do with these over-sized pods? One thing to do, is to save them for seeds. All ready…

Back in the late 80’s my little sister got married. Before her wedding, my Grandpa’s wife, Betty, hosted a beautiful bridesmaid luncheon in their home.
