Sweet Tea Bars

June 25, 2023 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am really letting my Southern out here (not that I keep it locked away). Sweet tea is Southern summer. You cannot have one without the other. Pitchers and pitchers of it. Insulated tumblers on the boat, plastic pitchers in the cooler, a big glass pickle jar in the fridge to be poured in fancy glasses or the plastic stadium cups from your favorite barbecue joint. Can’t make it … [Read more...] about Sweet Tea Bars

Blueberry Swirl Cake

Summer celebrations sometimes get short shrift. People are scattered around on vacations, the weather can be downright unpleasant, school is out and the kids are away.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
