...So I talked to former president Jimmy Carter this evening. Yes, he and Mrs. Carter (Rosalynn) were the featured guests at a dinner I attended. Jimmy walked around for a bit and shook hands with some of us.
The food at the dinner was delicious. Crab cakes, sweet potato parfait, bananas foster, shrimp, a risotto bar, pecan pie bars....scrumptious! As was the food at a dinner I attended last night, and that my colleague Adele cooked for some of us on Saturday.
Yup, I've enjoyed some mighty fine traditional Southern home cooking since I arrived here in Biloxi a few days ago.
So what did I say to President Jimmy Carter when he shook my hand?
"I sure am enjoying all this great Southern cooking here." !
My chance to say something to the former president and all I could do was think about food!

So what did Jimmy Carter reply?

He smiled and said, "Why, Anne, that was the most profound statement I believe I have ever heard about the South! Thank you so much for sharing that insight with me!"
