Food Memories from Alabama. James Beard award winner Scott Peacock has departed Watershed restaurant in Decatur, Ga., to focus on a new film documentary that will chronicle the oral histories of some of Alabama’s oldest residents and their food memories. Scott helped put Southern cuisine on the culinary map for Atlanta, but he’s returning to his ‘bama roots to complete this important project. He also wants to write books, including a memoir about his relationship with the great Southern chef Edna Lewis. Looking forward to the stories he’ll share. http://tiny.cc/CUbQ1

Under the Stars…with S’mores

So…if you remember a previous post about folk artist Alyne Harris, http://tiny.cc/MGVmh, you may recall I’m coveting an old painting of hers–a church choir scene. It was nabbed by my sister, Dolly, years ago at Modern Primitive before we could get our hands on it. Well, now big sis is saying she might give it to us…one day…for the farm. I offered to pay, but I think she’s stringing me along. This past weekend, she even texted this photo…probably just a tease. C’mon, Doll, you know that painting belongs in rural Alabama, not Rhode Island. Name your price.

P.S. Readers, did ya notice the marvelous stained glass behind the choir?
