When it comes to comparing people's southern fried chicken, there's nothing you can say that isn't fightin' words. Will your

Midway thru my 1st experience editing an anthology (with an awesome team- thanks

Today's feast is roast lamb with garlic and rosemary. The original recipe comes from A Taste of Heritage. Not only was this yummy, it provided leftovers for days. What cookbook will you consult for The Cookout? Delicious in Dungeon? To Serve Man?

Thrilled my story "The Magnolia Returns" is up at
@podcastle.org
! It's a tale of a lonely, traveling butcher shop serving its community and finally finding companionship. The audio is narrated by the incredible Laurice White, who always nails the dialect.

This is by far my most often used recipe from the Black Girl Baking cookbook. It's infinitely customizable, from decadent chocolate on chocolate mix ins, to oat and nut heavy versions for the health conscious. Would you bring this to

Sometimes you want something stronger than lemonade at the cookout. May I suggest Free Range Flower Winery? It's a Black woman owned winery specializing in flower based wine. Rose hip on the left pairs well with blueberries, and marigold tastes of sunshine.

This is what happens when you don't clean up! Now we have a dinosaur infestation in the middle of the cookout, and they take forever to clear out! Should we get the dino spray, or the pest control wand?

Sometimes your cookout contribution is made of the rarest, bougiest ingredients like diamond stardust. Other times you do your best with gnome garden clippings.
