I read the article. I agree with Wayne. Tomorrow night's dinner is
going to be a Southern extravaganza: smoked pork chops with yams and
collard greens. It won't quite be the equivalent of Poor Melvin's ham
and yams, but as close as this Yankee girl can come. (Poor Melvin's was
a Southern/Cajun joint in Irving, TX. It had a wonderful jukebox full
of Louis Prima tunes.)
