Martha Foose did a great job as the Chef on a Shoestring on Early Show this morning! She looked wonderful in her apron, just like the cover of her book, Screen Doors and Sweet Tea!
I loved her simple answer to the difference between iced tea and Sweet Tea! Southerners melt the sugar (yes, real sugar, not the fake stuff( in the hot liquid! At The Crown every morning, Gloria brews the tea and while it's hot, stirs in the sugar and keeps stirring till it's dissolved! That's the way my family has always made tea too!
Martha is a Mississippi Delta girl and her book is FUN! One of our good friends came in a few days after Martha was here signing her book, and told me, "My wife bought that book and I picked it up and starting looking at it and then found myself READING it! ME reading a COOKBOOK! It reminded me of my mama and daddy and I just kept reading!" Don't you love that!
We have signed copies of Screen Doors and Sweet Tea, at The Crown so just call 662-887-4522 and Jen will get one mailed to you! Maybe you'll need to order a Mississippi Delta Fudge Pie to enjoy with your own glass of sweet tea!
