Cornbread Supper

Here we will mingle together photos and food descriptions tied to six excellent Cornbread Suppers, each different and each fine in its own perfect way -- just about exactly the way homemade cornbread varies happily batch by batch, and always satisfies. Late summer Cornbread Suppers featured many homegrown flourishes, none more astonishing than the biggest carrot ever seen - from a home garden just around the corner on North Martin Luther King Boulevard. The Campsie flowers keep coming, well into deep fall, and well after the first two mild frosts. Abraham Darby , our David Austin rose , blooms multiple times most years; in cool, wet 2009, one sturdy bush produced nearly continuous sweet-smelling, old-fashioned,apricot blooms from May through October. Which Suppers did the following dishes grace? No clue. All the little slips of paper from the six events have formed one super Smorga-family buffet now.

A spell of under-the-weatherness helped us fall behind in documenting each Cornbread Supper, but we are back on track with the real events, and have been for several weeks. Join us each Monday night, 6 PM, for cornbread and conviviality.
