Due to Robyn's surgery and Scarlett's ex-husband coming back into the picture, we stayed so busy that we did not post in April or May. The many trips to safe havens during tornado activity didn't help either. But we are back in full force with stories and new recipes.

They've shared potlucks, costume parties, themed dinners, and now — a blog where they forage thru fabulous food together, even if it's from three hours apart.
Every post is a little bit recipe, a little bit story, and a whole lot of heart. Because the best meals are the ones shared with people who make you laugh until your sides ache.
Robyn and Scarlett…
friends for 38 years.
Alabama and Kentucky
are not that far away
for this friendship.
