Wild Word Friday! When I was a little girl, I was a very sloppy eater. I remember my parents having a serious discussion about how to deal with my inability to keep the food on my fork and off my clothes. Admonition, scolding, and shaming just didn’t seem to work, and I truly wanted to…
Wild Word Friday! My Great Grandma Clare made the best BISCUITs I’ve ever tasted. They were the melt-in-your-mouth kind of BISCUITs, and, because I never did get her recipe, I have spent my adult life trying to duplicate her masterpiece, without success.

SNECK is a dialectical form that…
Wild Word Friday! I love Christmas, and, because I’m a Christian, the holiday has an extra special meaning for me, but I can get burned out fast by all the preparations, parties, and commotion. That means it’s also the perfect time of year for comfort food, and for me comfort food includes winter SQUASH….
On this Wild Word Friday, I’m sending you prayers and wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with many blessings! From my house to yours – Love, Sue
