“Fried chicken; roast pig; wild and tame turkeys, ducks and geese; venison just killed; squirrels, rabbits, pheasants, partridges, prairie chickens; homemade bacon and ham; hot biscuits, hot batter-cakes, hot buckwheat cakes, hot “wheatbread,” hot rolls, hot corn pone; fresh corn boiled on the ear, succotash, butter-beans, string beans, tomatoes, peas, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes; buttermilk, sweet milk, “clabber”; watermelons, musk melons, cantaloupes — all fresh from the garden — apple pie, peach pie, pumpkin pie, apple dumplings, peach cobbler — I can’t remember the rest. The way that certain things were cooked was perhaps the main splendor — particularly a certain few of the dishes. For instance, the corn bread, the hot biscuits and wheatbread and the fried chicken. These things have never been properly cooked in the North — in fact, no one there is able to learn the art, so far as my experience goes. The North thinks it knows how to make corn bread, but this is gross superstition. Perhaps no bread in the world is quite as good as Southern corn bread, and perhaps no bread in the world is quite so bad as the Northern imitation of it.”

- Mark Twain regarding southern food in the 1840’s, via Papercuts, via ”97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement” by Jane Ziegelman.

In a word, YES.

Luckenbach

I was in Austin for a weekend and thought I’d go exploring. Luckenbach is about an hour and a half west. It’s in the middle of nowhere and is as big as a minute. There’s this building, which has a bar in back that seats/stands about 15-20 people for the shows they have on the weekdays, and a dance hall they fill up weekend nights.

Equality Myth: The Beauty Advantage: How Beauty Can Affect Your Job, Your Career, Your Life:

God we love this photo, despite the weird overly buff dude. Wanted to send out a link to Newsweek’s massive package on the role of looks at work, which includes pieces on: the double bind that women face, what would happen if women ruled the world, why women should shun that …
