from the back burner

If you know, you know.  My mother was a fantastic cook and writer whose dream was to publish a cookbook containing many recipes from the Dyersburg Mirror paper where she worked.  Thanks to Joe Wood and Daddy, that dream came true and the proceeds went to the Dyer County Fair. And so, the legend was created in a back alley print shop.  

I have a hand crafted art piece made by Rachel Townsend that will grace the cover of the new book.  Mama herself xed  out a whole lot of dishes because really?  Who wants cooked possum or squirrel stew?  Well, I know there are some but not us.  Lauren and I discussed doing a podcast to boost interest in this publication.  Neither one of us know anything about podcasting but we can learn.  Also with AI.  

I  "noticed" that Trump is Time's person of the year.  I'm not really a fan of his but he is the one who had the most influence on our country this year.  Perhaps he will stop with the hating and do something nice for the USA.  I got my SS statement for the next year and I got a 40 buck raise what with Medicare going up.  And for this I went to college?  Sheesh.

I rolled pecans for a bit and got a lot of leaves and trash.  That means you have to sort and pitch on the steps before you fill the bag to sell.  They get really mad when those hulls jack up the cracker.  Not pretty.  

My friend Dickey is doing amazingly well following a whipple for pancreatic cancer.  His wifey Pam gave me some Amish bread starter which is due today for future things.  I'll have to dig out the instructions and bake accordingly.

If y'all are feeling generous I know a girl who is having a Christmas party for her clients and needs money for pizza.  PM me if you are interested.  And also, keep the faith ^j^
