My Queen… I do and did understand the unusualness of this gathering and I know that it was an anomaly that has been your particular cross to bear. The love and food will continue unabated whenever and wherever you decide that it needs to be provided. New recipes to be explored and favorites to be revisited. I have started a batch of eggs to a’picklin’ to be prepared for future feastfests. I have a couple of new South American dishes to be presented. Have ya’ll made it to the empanadas in the freezer, yet? And any more of the spinach pepperoni frittatas?

Missing you already…..
xxxxxoooooooo

Yes, indeedy-do, MIss Viney-Kiss-My-Aigs-Minner-Cheese Hawg! Mother Payne made ALL them cakes FOR US and NOT for y’all–bwhahahahaha! And there was also a lemon pie kinda thing, too that I failed to mention earlier. TRA-LA-LA! Sucks to be y’all! But I mean that in the Nicest Possible Way, of course. But you already knew that.

I am so hungry now, I have to go find someone to cook for me. I must say I am very interested in this “Latino Lasagne” and would be eternally grateful for a recipe or at least a description of it’s contents. I would also like to say I’m a hellofa cook and would love to add to your table at any point in time. God Bless and Lots of Love.

SCOTT–you darlin’ one! You know very well under NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, there would have been another dozen or so folks in our house that week and them aigs woulda been done et up the very first DAY and I woulda been crab-by for sure!

It was only due to Mama’s Unfortunate Condition that we had to severely curtail the crowd-size, and truth be told, having a loved one lodged in Death’s Doorway does put one off one’s feed somewhat so that none of us was really eating up to what I would call Par. We were more like regular human beings, appetite-wise, as opposed to our usual swarm of all-consuming locusts-type behavior. Did you not notice that?

Hunny PLEASE! We just PICKED at pretty much everything–from the fried chicken, homemade rolls, fresh peas, cracklin’ corn bread, greens, weird but yummy broccoli salad, sweet potato casserole,caramel cake, red velvet cake, and pound cake that Allen’s Mama sent. We hardly TOUCHED the pork tenderloin, lady peas and raspberry chipotle salad that I made and then there was that sweet potato pie that Leigh made. Well, actually, we ate that at one sitting but that banana pudding that Angie FINALLY made for us? It took us two whole days to eat that–and it was only a gallon-size container!

And then, we managed to FORCE DOWN a FEW plates of the Latino Lasagne and MAYBE a quart and a half of the jalapeno beef dip that you made–but CLEARLY, anybody could SEE we were all just to Worked Up to eat much. Plus it WAS awfully hot and you KNOW how hard it is for Allen to eat when it’s very hot. Six full plates and he is just DONE–he just wears out.

And Jeffrey is so sensitive to Allen’s Moods, he gets too nervous to eat much more than that himself. Isn’t that sweet? George, of course, is In Training and thus, can no longer be counted on to Act Right at the Table–he keeps pushing back. So irritating!

Bailey did her best but she’s way too tiny to be of much help when it comes to cleaning out a refrigerator with her face. So there was really only the 6 of us and well, we just did the best we could under the circumstances but under NO circumstances should you make a negative alteration in the amount of food you prepare and wag down here every time you come. THIS TOO SHALL PASS–and we will be back to our normal creatures-that-ate-Chicago selves before you know it! The WORST POSSIBLE scenario would be to have US return to NORMAL–and there be TOO LITTLE FOOD ON HAND!

OH, THE HORROR! You KNOW it would NOT Be Pretty!
