Good morning fare companions. We continue to look for the Best of the Best from your kitchen and from the dining table. Please send what has worked for you, even if nobody has requested it.
You can testify to its goodness from the kitchen or from your place at the table.
Before we open up today’s recipes, here’s an introduction from genealogist Carolyn Haliburton Carter that made me think of all of you. The words are delicious to me, and worth savoring.
“I did not learn about my history in a classroom. I learned it in the kitchen… .I simply close my eyes. I return to the kitchen. I hear Granny’s voice. I know who I belong to.
“For me the kitchen was not simply a place of meals, but a place of memory, love, and lessons. It was where stories lingered after the dishes were done, where voices met, where the past arrived unannounced and took its seat at the table. It was where I first learned that history does not always live in books, and that some of the most important historical knowledge was never written down at all.
