too much today. Which includes eating. I didn't know anyone could make banana pudding on nilla wafers as good as my mom's. I forgot that eating is the major life activity in the south. Food is so important here that the mascot of Delta University is the Fighting Okra. That's right. The Fighting Okra.
The Flood of 27, the Mississippi River, genetically engineered cotton, the schools in Tallahatchie County, generational illiteracy, really good biscuits and cornbread made like it should be, with no sugar, and fresh butterbeans.... too much to tell tonight.
My school's mascot was the fighting lima bean, so there!
