It feels better to have some snacks on hand when dear friends Donna and Ebbie venture down from Virginia, and the two I put together for their visit last weekend were repeats from previous trips: sugar peanuts...
...and southwestern dip with tortilla chips. We dug into each, in moderation, but who has time to nibble much when there's so much to talk about before the clock governing our reunion runs out?!
It truly means so much to me not only that we began as colleagues and then became great friends, but also that they have repeatedly made the effort to come down to Winston-Salem. This fourth occasion was every bit the delight as were the previous ones in 2018, 2023, and 2024.
"Southwestern Dip," in Betty Crocker Monthly Recipes, December 2001.
"Sugar Peanuts," long a staple of holiday gatherings in the Jones Family household. Recipe from my mother.
