Cornbread Supper

November swept through Cornbread Supper with an amazing set of warm Mondays. Or perhaps not so amazing, given how fast our planet is warming. Part of the reason for Cornbread Supper's being is to connect and encourage, to build on our natural sense of community and our interest in belonging to each other, to our place. So even in the face of global warming, which feels a lot more pleasant in November than in August, we gather on Monday nights for conviviality, conversation, food, drink, and friendship. November's meals merged together in the pile waiting for entry, so we'll merge November 17, 21, and 28 here as well.
