Your perfectly expressive words, transport me to overstuffed wicker chair with a copy of your beautiful, beautiful book, Magnolias, Porches, and Sweet Tea. One of the greatest joys of my life has been being transplanted in the South over 40 years ago, that I may embrace this lovely, genteel life.

Not only is Magnolias, Porches, and Sweet Tea a wonderful book to curl up with and read on your front porch, but an inspiration to get into the kitchen and start cookin'! The recipies are, as in all of Pat Brannings books, delicious. Either a trip down memory lane, or a new twist on an old favorite, this is a book to savor with every page.

Thank you for your beautiful comment, Diana. You inspire me to write another book, but for now, we have Substack. It's a great way to keep connected. Much love and blessings, Pat

This is a story about 2013, when the book first came out.
