Odds and Ends: Photos and Recipes

Well, look what the cat dragged in!

Come on in and take a gander at our collection of odds and ends. A place where memories are made tangible through images and the flavors of home.

Here, we honor the everyday "fix it" tip from Papaw, the picture of Susan's spelling bee trophy, and the passed-down recipes from Mamaw and Aunt Maybell.

All of those fragments of Appalachian life that continues to feed our body and soul long after the hands that made them are gone.

Echoes From the Past

Some things survive because somebody tucked them away. A recipe in familiar handwriting, a ticket stub, a photograph with no full explanation — these are the scraps that keep telling on us, feeding us, and reminding us where we came from.

Yep. I said purple honey. It’s rare, and even though scientists have tested it many times, there are still differing opinions on what makes it happen.

Here we’ll talk about the facts, the lore, and why a strange jar of honey can carry more story than folks expect. Grab your glass of sweet tea and settle in. This one’s good.
