Almond and Pecan
Pecan
April 15, 1999
In late fall, as wind gusts blow
Pecan hibernates before winter snow
In early spring, sweet scent of a flower
Wakes her up to take a shower!
Almond
April 14, 1999
Leaving her den in early spring
So very hungry, she'll eat anything
Nuts, fruits, berries and fish
Mixed together makes a great dish

I found my birthstone bear recently, so I was hoping I have a beanie birthday buddy too? My birthday is January 22 :))
You share a birthday with Pecan the Hamster!
Inside the tag:
Inside a ball so big and round
I roll and run across the ground
And when I want to take a rest
A bed of wood chips is the best!

Southern Food Heritage Day
The delicious aroma of pan fried chicken or the fluffy texture of a buttered biscuit, southern food brings about a sense of warmth and comfort. Southern Food Heritage Day is here to promote and celebrate the background of this delicious cuisine!
History of Southern Food Heritage Day
Founded by the Southern Food and Beverage Museum located in New Orleans, Louisiana, this day raises a glass in toast to the unique heritage and history of food that comes from the southern parts of the United States.
The food that hails from the American South offers a unique blend of cultural history that includes Native Americans as well as the British, French, and Spanish influences that were brought along during settlement. In addition, Africans who were transplanted through slavery had a strong influence on the way cuisine in the American South developed.
Many foods that are associated with Southern Food Heritage Day include squash, tomatoes and corn, which were native to the region, as well as those dish ideas that were imported, such as black eyed peas, okra, eggplant, and melons.
Offering a chance for people from the south to reconnect with their heritage and those from other places to learn about it, Southern Food Heritage Day is ready to be celebrated!
How to Celebrate Southern Food Heritage Day
Consider enjoying some of these ideas to honor and celebrate Southern Food Heritage Day:
Enjoy Eating Some Southern Food
Those who live in the southern United States have it easy because they can pop over to an easily accessible restaurant and order a plate of delicious home cookin’! Those who live in the north or other places might have to work a little harder to get access to some southern food. Cracker Barrel and Waffle House are a couple of chain restaurants that offer menu items with a southern flair.
Try Making Some Southern Food
Those who were raised in the south might have learned how to cook from their mamas or grandmas. But those who didn’t need not fear. It’s still possible to learn! The internet offers a whole host of opportunities for anyone to learn how to cook like they are from the south. Try out recipes for biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, fried okra, country ham or grits.
Get a New Southern Food Cookbook
To truly embrace the style of home cooking in the south, it might be a good idea to get a new cookbook in celebration of Southern Food Heritage Day! Try out some of these:
Heritage by Sean Brock (2013). Showing an appreciation – or perhaps even an obsession – for southern cooking, this best-selling author fills his cookbook with amazing photos and recipes from his residence in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Taste of Country Cooking by Edna Lewis (1976). This Southern Cooking classic offers an updated 30th Anniversary edition, showing cooks how to recover the taste of fresh, tasty and distinctly American foods.
Fannie Flagg’s Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook (1995). This cookbook was inspired after Fannie Flagg found huge success with her novel titled Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.

Okay so…this was a poem I made in Escapril 2024, for @adventurerswritingguild’s prompts for the prompts, “A Childhood Memory,” and “Portrait.”
I initially thought it was too personal to post a spoken poetry video for this or to even post outside of the discord. But then I thought about it again, and concluded that it is because it is so personal, that I have to post it. Not for anyone else, but for me.
I have also scheduled a spoken poetry video. I must state this now. In the thumbnail and video is my late great grandmother Sadie and baby me!
👵🏼 👶🏽
Important disclaimer.
⚠️ No one is to desecrate, violate, or go after anyone mentioned in this video. I don’t want anyone going to fight or try to scrap over this. I don’t want anyone harassing or threatening or anything of the sort towards any names that are dropped. That is a boundary in place.
⚠️ If you do so regardless, you aren’t doing it because of me or even in my name. You’re doing it because you wanted to; not me. You will be removed from my audience and blocked.
This will premiere on May 17, 2024 at 2:30PM.
Yall get my baby pic and a picture of my late great grandmother, Sadie Jones. She passed in her 90s in 2008. I will forever miss her. She was the only one who showed me love.
