Welcome to Southern Food Stories

In the South, our lives revolve around food. Cornbread, black-eyed peas, BBQ, tomato sandwiches, sweet tea and -- well, just anything sweet. And when I was growing up in rural Alabama in the 1960's, everybody was a good cook, and every event had food. Mama used to say Methodists couldn't get together for 30 minutes without serving refreshements. I hope to use this blog to share some of those great food stories with, pass around a few old-fashioned recipes and get you inspired to get in that kitchen and start cooking!
