The Making of Soulful Food


As promised, I woke up at the crack of dawn to gather my supplies for the grand feast of Giving Thanks. November 26th was a great start to a semi-vacation. Christmas music and dancin' in the kitchen all day long. I thought about where the recipes I was cooking came from, how many times they have been prepared, who would be eating them and who would not be eating at all. I even considered that perhaps our menu was too large, maybe, but I strode on and finished the last deviled egg. This is one of the very reasons I have to be thankful...I am not hungry...ever. At the end of the day (night), my back hurt, my feet were swollen and I was crippin' like an worn out woman. Tim asked me "Why do you have a chair in the kitchen?" Wrong question, buster. Now, I 'm all set for the big day! Can't hardly wait to eat or sleep!
Me taking a seat in kitchen to rest my poor
tired feet or peeling potatoes (which reminded me of stringing peas with Mamaw).
This is the making of love.

Did the pecan company have to pay for this advertisement?
