Ah, yes, spring has sprung here in the South. In fact, I think it began springing back in February. But with the dogwoods and redbud in bloom, my cooking always takes on an even lighter touch, and of course I look to one of spring's best and first vegetables, ASPARAGUS.



Rebecca has done it again and come up with a wonderful dish for us all to enjoy.

“It's a funny thing, how much time we spend planning our lives. We so convince ourselves of what we want to do, that sometimes we don't see what we're meant to do.”
Susan Gregg Gilmore, Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen

“I didn't really think Jesus cared what I wore to Cedar Grove Baptist Church, or to see the governor for that matter, considering the fact that in every picture I ever saw of the King of Kings, He was wearing sandals and bundled up in nothing more than a big, baggy robe.”
Susan Gregg Gilmore, Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen

“Dying has a funny way of making you see people, the living and the dead, a little differently. Maybe that's just part of the grieving, or maybe the dead stand there and open our eyes a bit wider.”
Susan Gregg Gilmore, Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen

Rahmadiyanti Hello, Susan. Thanks for adding me as your friend. Your book seems interesting for me :)


message 2: by Susan

Susan thank you -- it reads very simply -- by design -- but is not a simple book. some dismiss it b/c it is Southern but don't get me started on the whole bias against Southern lit :))

I'm adding yours to my list!
