Old family motto: The family that eats together stays together Lots of scratch cooking for all festive occasions or anything in between Cooking fresh vegetables black eyed peas and butter beans to have with cornbread, of course A big variety of meats completing one's thirst with our famous Southern iced tea, lemon optional Mom's apple cobbler Auntie's arm churned ice cream Grandma's cast iron fudge cake Children, set the table and mind your manners All sit down together a prayer to say: Thank you, God for this meal good gosh let's eat Women begin chatting tackling the dirty dishes men take a nap (something in the turkey) Dog gone the cooking, miss setting that elegant dining room table! (c) Dog Gone the Cooks 06November2011 Vivian L. Dawson

I was loving this until the thought of drinking cold tea and ice, yuck, yuck, yuck. Love the pic, too.

When I were a kid, mum had put 8 frozen beef burgers on our kitchen table. No-one saw them vanish, yet Cindy, our Labrador is still the prime suspect.

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle�s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
