Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

not your mom's socks.

College taught me tailgating included tablecloths.

I still freak out when my daughter replies "Yes, ma'am," when I ask her to do something. ACK!

Hee.

How upcountry are we talking?

Southwest KY, mostly. Lake Barkley area and out near Cadiz. Which is, to my great delight, pronounced KAY-dees.

Squirrel and possum are definite possibilities.

no. Also I think the one I love is veg. Which is nominally blasphemous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Collard is what I think of first, but also mustard or dandelion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, what kind of "greens" do people think of? I put collard

Ditto.

Because books.

I put collard, too, meara.

I put "butter" for pound cake ingredient, but it struck me as a weird question. There's not much but regular baking ingredients in traditional pound cake.

Why does that freak you out, flea? About Casper saying "yes, ma'am"?

hip deep in pie

What did we put for food people argue about?

I put bagels. I think some of my answers will be outliers.

I did put okra for my southern food.

Some of my other answer will confuse because barbeque is more a verb than a noun here. (Even though we now have two barbeque restos in town...that is a lot of meat.)

I should have put pimento cheese for a recipe that gets handed down. People are wacky about the stuff.

Mustard greens are also really common.

Collard, check. Butter for pound cake, check.

NYE food was black eyed peas and greens.

Well, I was raised by northeastern hippies and called them by their first names. That a daughter of mine should call me ma'am is sort of inconceivable.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Aw, Arthur Laurents died.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mustard or Collard Greens.

What did we put for food people argue about?

Stuffing! Also a recipe that gets handed down.
