    Looks beautiful to me! I would love to have that cobbler/pie recipe. I have yet to find a cobbler recipe that I like and therefore never make it anymore. (It seems like they are mostly the bready type...ick...I like the pie crust type).

An Anniversary

September 16, 2004 began as a typical morning.   Emmeline and I went for a walk and then she settled down for her morning nap while I worked on laundry.   I decided to call Mama; we usually talked to each other every day.   Since Emmeline was born nine months earlier, our conversations had grown to several times a day, as I called her to share Emmeline's latest "firsts."  She had called a little more than normal to check on me.   A month earlier I had my first severe reflux incident.   I was eating lunch when I experienced the normal discomfort, but this time, it got worse and it was as if my windpipe was closed and I couldn't breathe.   I felt like I was choking, but I could talk, so I knew that I wasn't.   I was alone with Emmeline, so I quickly snatched her out of the high chair and put her in her crib.   I worried about what I would do if this did not pass quickly and I stopped breathing. ...

This year, our family will be going through unavoidable chaos and activity during Lent, but we are anxious to make this a fruitful time for our family.   We've had a rough year.   A rough six years, but the last year seemed particularly rough.   When I told my friend Amber that I didn't understand why it felt much worse, she reminded me that the events of the previous five years unfolded over that time, but last year we...

I'm Published

So, I'm a LITTLE bit excited.   A few weeks ago, the company, Bourbon and Boots, asked me if I'd like to write a piece on pie.   Write, not serve up.   I was happy to oblige and the article is up on their site today: http://www.bourbonandboots.com/top-ten-southern-pies-and-cobblers/ I love their company.   They are preserving the best of southern culture through articles and their incredible store.   Oh, that store.   I want that lit arrow sign for my kitchen.   And one of everything else in that store goes on my wish list, honeychild!
