Now I'm going to have to eat. What a wonderful and fun poem that I'm sure you have share with your students. I bet your students can name all their greens.
'Food in the Mountains' is another of your [our!] American Treasures from your pen! The abundance of your labor and the warmth and plenitude of your family's table and love, leaps off the page!
Food in the mountains brought many memories. We had a garden when I was a child and enjoyed home grown veggies, jams and jellies. Whan I grew up and started having children I continued to have a garden, canned and froze many vegtables. Apple butter was a great treat, as was apple sauce. Thank you for sharing the bounties of your childhood days with us.......M

Ah, the memories are refreshing.
Oh so true about those fast food restaurants.
Heee,hee had to grow up to go to one pretty much.
Would be unheard of to even eat a cookie out of a bag...tisk, tisk one couldn't do that. Oh so sweet memories~thank you Joyce~beautiful.
Peace, love, and joy to you at this Christmas time my dear~best of care to you,

A delightful tale as only you can express.
Happy Holidays

Although the ingredients may be a different, this is how I was raised too...we ate seafood and fish and grew our own vegetables. We also grew oranges. It wasn't fancy food but it was food filled with love...couldn't ask for better..))
hugs, Myrna
It's late at night but this poem truly has made me hungry. So well written..I can see the children's mouth watering..:) Nice place to be on your mountain.
Peace&Grace,
Sharon
Oh your write sure does make me hungry Joyce~ I just harvested my very first garden with the kids this year...there is no comparison...and as I write the corn bread is baking...I love it!
Good job and "Food in the Mountains" sure seems like heaven's scents have passed over your senses here...and many other places too!
Love and Peace~

Such a bounty, in such a dreamy place to all enjoy...
My heritage is such a combination of the North and the South, Joyce, and there are even a few Holdovers from Britain. I might have confounded your students. It's so special to savour all those food comforts that remain a part of our heritage and that which we will pass oon to our children and theirs. Your work is always a treasure and your memories catalogue the Mountain spirit.
Love,
Taylor

Ohhh..nothing beats homemade cooking, especially when it is made with that extra ingredient-LOVE. Hugs, Laura
Joyce this is fabulous! This delicious poem is a cornucopia of all the foods I love -good wholesome country eating at its finest! You now have my salivary glands working overtime. You have done an outstanding job here and I'm glad I stopped by for a bite!

I love how you write, Joyce -- your work has the resonance of a loving reality, always. I could not only taste these delicasies through your words, I could smell everything as it was cooking. Many of the things you've written about here, I enjoyed as a child, some even now -- Mama used to make us the most delicious soup beans, and always they were cooked in with the ham broth, and we would have it over the corn bread ... how I miss her. Thank you, Joyce. I would hate it if you ever stopped writing.
Much love,
CJ
Are you sure you are not a long lost sister I did not know? I just don't remember the mountains, but I can see them when you refrence them. Love,
Louisa
It reminded me of my own memories of my favorite foods growing up, Pasta Simmering on the stove, with the smell of Spaghetti Sauce filling the house and fresh baked biscotti's at Christmas time what a treat
God Bless
