On this weekend of picnicking and sharing fried chicken and pimento cheese and whatever else strikes your fancy, this quote by one of my favorite food writers strikes my fancy:
"Southerners can't stand to eat alone. If we're going to cook a mess of greens we want to eat them with a mess of people." --Julia Reed

I love a mess of food with a mess of people! My family voted on corn on the cob and tomato sandwiches for the 4th. It's how we ate in the summer when we were growing up.
