Good Morning Darlings!
This month our Cookbookery Club chose The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook. It included recipes for all things southern and delicious.
It was more like Thanksgiving than a Saturday night

Good Morning Darlings!
When I was asked if I would like to try a new product from Cookie Zen, in which I would pair their cookies with my wine, I said….
Can you guess what I said?

Good Morning Darlings!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all my sweeties out there! Eric and I are sleeping in, making breakfast together, will watch a dozen movies and then make pizza dough. We never go out on Valentine’s Day. Why go out when you can get all cuddly inside? It’s cold out there!
But I bet you are all ready with a great day for your loved one, right?
Oops, did you forget to buy a gift?

You know, I love talking about my friends, their restaurants and hotels, plus all the marvelous things they have planned for us.
But sometimes I forget about promoting me, Patti.
I have a super cool surprise for you!

Good Morning Darlings!
Cast iron cooking is second nature to most southern cooks.
I have not been one of those cooks.
How did I get turned in the right direction?
