Michael, I'm from Alabama and I'm sad that you met with some
unpleasant people. I'm so proud of my home state and I want everyone
to feel welcomed by Alabama and her people.

Edna Lewis' essay was very moving. I grew up in a very rural
environment in Appalachian Alabama. This part of the essay was
lovely:

"Living in a rural setting is inspiring: Birds, the quiet, flowers,
trees, gardens, fields, music, love, sunshine, rain, and the smells of
the earth all play a part in the world of creativity."

Southern food and cooking has so much to do with family, history,
sharing, and connections to the land.

May I ask what happened Michael? If you don't want to discuss it or if I've
missed it, I'm sorry.

Is it possible for anything to be too off topic for a news group?

YES! In fact, most of the OT crap posted here would be better served
just emailed to the interested parties or not posted at all. But the
posters all imagine what they're sharing is particularly valuable,
novel, more humorous and hasn't already been seen 203 times via other
friends who did think to email it.

This is an off-topic post.

Immaterial. You're contributing to the very off-topic noise you complain
about.

"Goomba" (jesus, could she pick a more retarded name?) does not wish you

I always thought Southern meant anywhere below the Mason/Dixon line. More
the slave line to freedom, historically.

Cuisine, I haven't a clue.
