Dear Ms. Ruth…
When Mamma was searching the closets of our farmhouse for pictures of Pappy, she found some of my old scribblings. Here is a letter–written at the wee, tender age of 18–to Ruth Reichl, the Editor-in-Chief of “Gourmet” Magazine. I suppose Chef’s big, brown eyes and long, muscled arms aren’t the only reason I’m into this food thing…

Dear Ms. Reichl,
You were weaned on Gerber strained English peas and I was raised on Granddaddy’s organically-grown carrots, apples and collard greens…

Congratulations on your career achievements and your Southern Boy….my sympathy for your Grandaddy’s passing. I’m sure he is very proud of you.

Ok. I’m CRAVING collard greens now. Hummus would be good too. Mmmm. Hummus.
